Department Of Sustainable Agriculture

The University Grants Commission (UGC) had launched a scheme for skill development based higher education as part of college/university education, leading to Bachelor of Vocational (B.Voc.) degree and Diploma under Community College Scheme. The B.Voc and Community College Programme is focused on universities and colleges providing undergraduate studies which would also incorporate specific job roles and their NOSs (National Occupational Standards) along with broad based general education. These vocational courses give a vertical mobility for the students those who have completed vocational higher secondary education. 

Dept.of B.Voc. Sustainable Agriculture was started in December 2014 with grant of UGC and with a sanctioned strength of 50 students. The mission of the department is to ‘To impart knowledge and skills in agriculture so that students can serve the farming community and society.’ The department also encourages students to start agribusiness of their own and become agripreneurs. Many students are getting placements after this course. Also many of them are going for higher education. It has been a self-financing programme since 2018.
