Agronomy
Department of Agronomy is the biggest discipline, which was formed as an integral part in the faculty of Agriculture. The department runs undergraduate programmes, to train the students in the field of agriculture. The department offers 14 courses to undergraduate students.
The students are also given opportunities to participate in all the farm operations for understanding the principles of crop production, by way of allotting individual plots for the cultivation of various field crops. Final year B.Sc (Ag.) students are practically guided in various aspects of crop production under field conditions during RAWE programme and imparting hands-on practical knowledge during Agricultural Experiential Learning Programme (AELP).
