Our Department

Department of Fishery

The Department of Fishery focuses on the study, production, management, and conservation of fish resources. The department trains students and farmers in fish breeding, hatchery management, fish nutrition, water quality testing, and disease control. It also works on improving inland and marine fish production to support food security and income generation. Modern equipment and laboratory support help in research on sustainable fish farming practices. The department aims to increase fish productivity, promote eco-friendly methods, and support fishermen and aquaculture industries. Through training programs and field projects, it helps boost fishery development in rural and coastal areas.

The Department of Agronomy focuses on crop production and soil management practices. It teaches students the scientific methods of growing crops efficiently using fertilizers, irrigation, crop rotation, and modern farming tools. The department also conducts research to improve soil fertility and crop yield while reducing production costs. Sustainable farming methods such as organic agriculture, precision farming, and integrated nutrient management are major study areas. Training programs help farmers learn improved techniques for growing cereals, pulses, oilseeds, and cash crops. The department aims to build a strong agricultural ecosystem by increasing productivity and ensuring food security for the nation.

The Department of Horticulture is dedicated to the study of fruits, vegetables, medicinal plants, flowers, and plantation crops. The department trains students in modern nursery techniques, plant propagation, gardening, greenhouse technology, and landscape management. Research activities focus on the development of high-yield varieties, pest control methods, and improved post-harvest handling. The department also supports commercial horticulture sectors such as floriculture, spice cultivation, and fruit orchards. Practical field training and laboratory support help students gain hands-on skills. The main goal is to promote profitable and sustainable horticulture farming that benefits both small and large-scale growers.

The Department of Aquaculture deals with the controlled cultivation of aquatic organisms such as fish, prawns, crabs, oysters, and aquatic plants. Students learn pond construction, water management, feed formulation, breeding techniques, and disease control. The department also researches improved species, seed production technology, and eco-friendly aquaculture systems. Training programs help farmers adopt modern aquaculture systems such as biofloc, RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture System), cage culture, and integrated farming. Its objective is to increase production, improve farmer income, and support the growth of the aquaculture industry through scientific research and field-level training programs.

The Department of Sericulture focuses on silk farming and the production of high-quality silk. The department teaches mulberry cultivation, silkworm rearing, cocoon harvesting, and silk yarn processing. It aims to improve the quality and quantity of silk production through scientific research and modern silkworm breeding techniques. The department also trains rural communities, especially women, to earn income through sericulture-based activities. Research includes improving mulberry varieties, disease control, and low-cost rearing systems. The main mission is to promote sustainable silkworm farming and support the silk industry through training, innovation, and extension services.

The Department of Mariculture deals with the cultivation of marine organisms such as fish, shellfish, seaweeds, and marine plants under controlled sea-based environments. Students are trained in marine hatchery technology, cage culture, feed management, and disease prevention. Research activities focus on improving marine species production and developing eco-friendly farming techniques that protect coastal ecosystems. The department supports fishermen, coastal communities, and seafood industries by promoting modern mariculture practices. Its goal is to increase marine food production, ensure environmental balance, and create employment opportunities in coastal regions.
