Agriculture and Horticulture

Emphasis is laid on giving students practical knowledge of agriculture and horticulture. The experiments carried out on the other farmers‟ land outside the campus immensely benefit the farmers of nearby 40 villages and the visiting farmers across the state. Every year, grafts of fruit-bearing trees like chikoo, amala, mango, dates, custard apple, guava, pomegranate, berries and the likewise are grown on campus, displayed and distributed to villagers. Remarkably, even on arid or non-fertile land, trees like teakwood, bamboo, subabul and eucalyptus are grown to motivate and encourage farmers to follow the same procedure on their farms. Farmers and students acquire proper guidance about advanced irrigation methods like sprinkler, drip irrigation, porous pipe and such fruit bearing trees which need less water.
