About Faculty of Agricultural Sciences
The Faculty of Agriculture Sciences of Mandsaur University provide a graduation and post graduation program where you will get a hand on experience on scientific education with practical work in the lab and fields. This department has improved the life of our future agriculturalist by creating innovative solutions for agriculture, food, community and environment.
The objective of the B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture program is to educate future agriculturalist, who has general knowledge and skills in agricultural production, process, and farming based on agricultural, natural, technical and economic sciences in diverse areas of modern agriculture.
Innovative programmes
Some of the innovative programmes in B. Sc.(Hons). Ag curriculum activities are based on practical orientated programs like Practical Crop Production (PCP) and Rural Agricultural Work Experience (RAWE).
Rural Agricultural Work Experience (RAWE)
In RAWE students are exposed to real life of rural settings. Its aim is to develop a sense of awareness among the students about the problems of farmers and rural people to inculcate professional attitude in facing real-life problems. Major components are industrial attachment, field visits, village attachment and plant clinic. In the industrial attachment, students get attached to an industry and gain work experience over there. In village attachment, students get attached to a village where they work with farmers. They also help farmers in various operations. Field visits are organized to progressive farms, Krishi Vigyan Kendras, Horticulture Centers and IPM Laboratory, etc. In the plant clinic, students undergo rigorous training. They diagnose the various problems of soils and plants related to production and give solutions or suggestions to farmers.
Practical Crop Production (PCP)
It is an integral part of the course curriculum for B.Sc.(Hons) Ag. Degree. In this land is provided to a group of students. They have to cultivate it themselves. They not only earn during PCP by selling their produce but also bear the risks associated with crop production.
Laboratory Facilities
The University has well equipped laboratories where students do experiments and get practical knowledge. There laboratories are functioning in different subjects.
Computer Cell
It has a large number of computers with internet facility. The students can use these computers for their work at any hour of the day.
Students Placement Cell
This cell helps the students by providing of counseling and getting them good placement. The eligible students join MNC every year through campus interviews. Our most of the students got placed in various companies like Gramophone Transforming Agriculture, Sangra Agro Private Limited, Monsanto.etc
