Future Plan :
A) Education :
1. Efforts are going on to use audio-visual-aids like Digital projector, etc. instead of using old method of teaching.
2. Strengthening of practical laboratories with modern equipments is continued for getting practical knowledge to the Under Graduate students.
3. Starting job oriented skill development module on Commercial Production of organic inputs
B) Research:
1. Implement seed production programme in Kharif & Rabi season.
CONSTRAINTS:
1. One post of Farm Superintendent should be allotted to the discipline of Agronomy for farm
2. One post of Assistant Professor of Agronomy should be allotted to the discipline of Agronomy
3. One Senior Research Assistant/ Farm manager require for farm management activities
4. Permanent source of irrigation.
