Overview of the Department
The Agricultural Engineering education integrates Engineering and Agricultural Science knowledge and skills to develop technology and/or process to enhance production and productivity of agriculture and other farm produce through efficient utilization of natural resources and conserving the same for future use. Broadly, the activities include efficient utilization of agricultural inputs through improved techniques of soil and water management (conservation), efficient implements and machinery ensuring precision, timeliness and reduced drudgery in farming operations (mechanization), and improving quality of farm produce (processing and value additions).
The Department of Agricultural Engineering started in 2022 with just 20 students in B. Tech with the objectives of making competent and dynamic Agricultural Engineers, suitable for global market by imparting best possible training and education.
Mission
M1: To develop human resources with sound knowledge – theory and practical – in the discipline of agriculture and the ability to apply the knowledge to the benefit of the society at large.
M2: To impart quality education through well-developed laboratories in tune with the challenging modern agricultural needs of the industry.
M3: To provide a beneficial ambience to generate knowledge and develop technologies in the thrust areas of agricultural engineering.
Vision
To attain significant recognition in agricultural engineering education, research and training to meet the growing needs of the society and agricultural industries.
