technologies, agribusiness, and transfer of technologies and entrepreneurship so as to empower them in choosing their career path. Since most of the students hail from rural areas with poor socio-economic background, the
institute facilitates bank loans. It also assures merit-based placement to all students.

and post-harvest management, agribusiness and market. Saturdays are exclusively devoted towards guest lectures, seminars/workshops and project work.
