Two unique courses are offered in the Department to impart training to the students in Practical Crop Production where each student is allotted with 500 sq m for two seasons with prime objective of \u201cEarn while Learn\u201d. In the second course on \u201cExperimental Techniques in Agricultural Research\u201d wherein the students conduct micro plot experiments to acquaint with research techniques like layout, recording observations and preparation of research report which develops the confidence among the students to conduct the field experiments at PG level and field assignments in future at different organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n
