Muhammad Iqbal

I am a motivated graduate with a B.Sc. (Hons) Agriculture (CGPA 3.41/4.00) from the University of Layyah, specializing in Agronomy. I have practical field experience in crop research, having completed an internship at the Agronomic Research Station, Karor, where I was involved in experimental design, yield-trial data collection, weed and disease identification, and soil sampling. I have hands-on farm management experience gained at Bodla Zari Farm, Layyah, working across sugarcane, wheat, maize, sesame, oilseed crops, and canola, which broadened my practical understanding of major Rabi and Kharif crop cycles.

I am currently serving as an Agriculture Extension Intern under the Chief Minister Punjab Agriculture Graduate Internship Program 2025, where I work directly with farmers on Kissan Card and Agri Loan documentation, SBP subsidized loan schemes, and farmer training initiatives. This experience has strengthened my skills in agri-finance coordination, field reporting, and community engagement. I am highly motivated to pursue a career that combines my agricultural education with practical field and financial-sector exposure, contributing positively to rural development and the agricultural economy of Pakistan.
