In addition teaching the staffs is also conducting some research experiments and to carry out extension work in the field of Plant Pathology and Agricultural Microbiology. This section is playing role in all three basic activities i.e. Education, Research and Extension activities.

Important Activities

1. Education / Teaching:

  1. B. Sc. (Agri) degree course
  2. M. Sc. (Agri) degree course
