icon Overview

The Department of Agricultural Engineering was established with the aim of shaping our students into competent professional engineers, recognizing the significance of agriculture as the backbone of our nation. The department employs highly skilled academic members and has access to cutting edge laboratory resources. The department provides a B.Tech. in Agricultural Engineering with an emphasis on helping students become more proficient in the real world by equipping them with knowledge of contemporary farming and irrigation techniques and motivating them to tackle a variety of real-world problems in small-scale farming operations. In order to fulfil the requirements of the degree programme, our department is expanding by setting up various laboratories, such as Farm Machinery and Power, Agro-meteorological Observatory, Irrigation Field Laboratory, Food Process Engineering Lab, Soil and Water Conservation Engineering Lab, Agricultural Processing Lab, Bio-energy Lab, Post Harvest Engineering Lab, etc. To ensure that Agricultural Engineers have enough agricultural experience, a farm is assigned to them.

icon Vision

To train and empower the students towards Agricultural Engineering profession with a wealth of knowledge and function effectively in disciplines like agricultural machinery and automated machine systems, soil conservation, irrigation and drainage, crop nutrient and fustigation, postharvest handling and value addition, farm animals and housing etc. for the efficient production and processing of food, feed, fibre and fuels.

icon Mission

  • To develop skills on the various aspects of Agricultural Engineering to make graduates become into entrepreneurs, scientists, academicians and technologists for sustained food production to meet the ever-increasing population’s food needs.
  • To strengthen the research activities are in Agricultural Engineering by proposing innovative and application-oriented projects for the development of agriculture and allied sectors.
  • To establish the necessary infrastructure to meet the industrial, and Development needs.
