About the University
Banda University of Agriculture & Technology, Banda has been established in 2010 to serve the Bundelkhand region with trinity concept i.e., teaching, research and extension. Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh, comprising seven districts viz. Jhansi, Lalitpur, Banda, Mahoba, Hamirpur, Chitrakoot, Jalaun, has unique agroclimatic conditions. The geographical area of the UP-Bundelkhand is 2.94 million hectare which is about 12.21% of the state. This region is characterized by some of the lowest levels of per capita income and human development in the country. Local inhabitants rely primarily on rainfed single crop agriculture and small-scale livestock production for their livelihood. Crop production, livestock rearing and seasonal outmigration provide more than 90% of rural income in the Bundelkhand region. In Bundelkhand, Rabi crops are grown on about 69% area whereas kharif crops are grown on about 31% area. The commonly grown field crops during Kharif season are paddy, maize, jowar, bajra, black gram, green gram, pigeon pea and sesame and the Rabi season crops are wheat, barley, pea, gram, lentil, mustard and linseed. Agriculture production consists of more than 56% of cereals, 32% of pulses, 8% of oil seeds and 4% other crops. UP-Bundelkhand is predominantly a pulses-growing region. There has been a huge drop in cultivation of cereals and millets in general since 1984-85 and disappearance of bajra and barley, and reduction in area under cultivation of jowar in particular. The major arable area come under rainfed situation, low input use, poor adoption of improved technology and underutilized irrigation potential are some of the constraints in increasing production and productivity of the crops. The region also suffers from frequent droughts and water scarcity. However, the frequency of drought has increased 3 folds from 1968 to 1992. Intensification of crop diversification, innovative cultivation practices, improving seed replacement rate with high yielding varieties, promoting more sown area in the Kharif season are important interventions.
