AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING

The Agricultural Engineering Department in the Agriculture and Allied degree focuses on applying engineering principles to modern farming systems. Students learn about farm machinery, tools, tractors, and their maintenance. The department includes soil and water conservation, protected cultivation structures like polyhouses and shade nets, and automation systems for climate control. It also covers secondary agriculture, focusing on post-harvest handling, processing, storage, and value addition. Additionally, students study renewable energy in agriculture and allied sectors, including solar pumps, biogas units, dryers, and energy-efficient equipment. Practical sessions and field visits build strong technical skills for sustainable, technology-driven agriculture.
