    Message from the Director

    In the present pandemic situation, similar to earlier such occasions, the role of Agriculture has always proved to be the most important one. Be it war or an epidemic outbreak when all economic factors are at a stand-still, it is the Agriculture sector which keeps functioning and feeding empty stomachs.

    With the changing scenario, when our thought is not only to feed the present generation but to leave the earth capable enough to be considered valuable, we plan for modern agriculture and educating the new generation about the importance of it. The main aim of agricultural education is to prepare sensitive human resources for the world. Global food demand is expected to be doubled by 2050 and at the same time natural resources are gradually reducing and deteriorating.

    Knowledge-based, Input efficient, Eco-friendly, and High tech precision is what we aim to teach. We believe in adopting modern technology which saves time and energy with due importance to traditional practices. Dwindling rainfall, decreasing soil fertility, rising pollution and natural calamities are some that the agriculture professionals need to consider along with engineered crops.

    I hereby welcome you as aspiring agriculture professionals to come and join us and become new age Agriculturists.

    Best Wishes
    Prof. Satwik Sahay Bisaraya
