Their target? A government exam that let engineering grads vie for agriculture officer posts. After weeks of campus protests, they descended on Bengaluru; buses, trains, placards, and all. The state blinked: exam postponed, committee formed, students included. But they’re not backing down. 'This isn’t over,' said one leader. For many, this fight is generational; their siblings walked the same path. The government says it’s listening. The students say they’ll keep marching till the rules change. Because in Karnataka, farming isn’t a backup plan; it’s a calling. And they’re determined to protect it.
