Hi Mridul! Do you have any advice or experience in CEA that you could offer Amit to help answer his question? While this link looks like it has some good information, our students tend to be looking for some more personalized advice in order to best get their questions answered.

CEA is really becoming a desperately needed field, In Europe, many countries are pursuing this avenue. I don't know what kind of educational opportunities are available to you in India, or if you have the opportunity to go overseas? Fields to pursue study in would be Agriculture, Agricultural Engineering, Horticulture, Botany, or Urban Agriculture.
Alternatively you could join Reddit...r/hydroponics or r/verticalfarming are both subreddits where people are often showing their own home builds using different CEA techniques. You can even build one in an old Freight Container.
I suggest reading work by Dr. Dickson Despommier, his book "The Vertical Farm: Feeding the World in the 21st Century" is an excellent resource and a good place to start. There are many ideas on different ways to start a personal grow op. Good Luck.

Thanks this answer was helpful, as till now no university or college is teaching CEA or vertical farming so i thought its better to learn through internship instead of college, and i have applied to few farm as a position of an intern.
