The college focuses to addressthe issue of shortage of trained manpower (human resource) in the disciplines of agricultural engineering besides other issues, pertaining to natural resource management, farm mechanization, post-harvest technology, processing & value addition, utilization of renewable sources of energy, creation of agro-industries etc. in the region.

Vision:

  • To emerge as a global centre of excellence in teaching, research and extension in agriculture and allied sciences in the country to ensure sustained healthy food, nutrition and livelihood security.

Mission:

  • The university is committed to the cause of Indian agriculture through its quality teaching, demand-driven and location-specific research and extension programmes in the light of dynamism of socio-economic and agro ecological conditions, management perceptions, international trade scenarios and government policies.

Objectives:

  • To equip students with advanced knowledge and practical skills to effectively apply engineering principles in agricultural engineering and its allied sectors.
  • To integrate modern teaching methodologies, including video lectures and smart classrooms, to enhance students’ competencies and prepare them for industry challenges
  • To develop and implement precision agriculture technologies integrating AI, ML, robotics, automation, and IoT for optimizing crop management, yield prediction, resource efficiency, and site-specific water application through smart irrigation systems.
  • To organize international conferences, seminars, symposia, workshops, and training programs in collaboration with professional societies and leading global universities to facilitate knowledge exchange and innovation.

Thrust Areas of Research:

  • Sustainable Mechanization: Development and promotion of eco-friendly and energy-efficient farm machinery tailored to diverse agricultural needs.
  • Smart Farming Technologies: Integration of advanced technologies such as GPS, IoT, AI, ML, robotics, and automation to optimize efficiency in crop production, resource management, and decision-making.
  • Precision Irrigation and Drainage Systems: Advancements in precision irrigation, drainage management, and adaptation to climate change, focusing on watershed management and urban hydrology for sustainable water use.
  • Renewable Energy in Agriculture: Research and development of sustainable energy solutions, including solar, wind, and bioenergy, to support agricultural operations and reduce carbon footprints.
  • Soil and Water Conservation: Implementation of innovative techniques and practices for conserving soil and water resources, ensuring long-term sustainability and productivity.
  • Post-Harvest Technology and Value Addition: Development of technologies to minimize post-harvest losses, improve storage, and add value to agricultural produce for enhanced profitability and food security.
