Anand Agricultural University Anand-388 110 ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND-388 110 From the VC’s Desk I am feeling immensely proud and privileged to present the Twelfth Annual Report of my University. Since its inception on 1 May 2004 by enactment of Gujarat Act No.5 of 2004, to date, it is an endless saga of success, achievements, appreciation and excellence with Anand Agricultural University. As one of the premier institutions of higher learning in Agriculture, AAU symbolizes an unflinching and resolute commitment to academic preeminence. With an overall mission to promote continuous process of development of sustainable growth and economic independence in rural society, AAU relentlessly works towards the empowerment of the farmers, imparting knowledge and skills to the students through its 10 colleges, on campus 25, off campus 23 total 48 research centers, 5 polytechnics and 11 extension education units functioning in nine districts of Central Gujarat. Anand Agricultural University inculcates Education in Agricultural and allied sciences through seven faculties viz., Agriculture, Veterinary Science & Animal Husbandry, Dairy Science, Agricultural Engineering & Technology, Food Processing Technology & Bio-energy, Agricultural Information Technology and International Agricultural Business Management. Significantly, this year, there is an increase in the number of ICAR-sponsored Post Graduate students, and simultaneously, a quintuple increase also in the number of UG and PG girl students. Where hands-on-training is concerned, our model of ‘Vidya Dairy’ has got international repute and wide appreciation. Here, it pleases me to state that it is now widely alluring students from overseas. On the Research Front, Anand Agricultural University has widely extended its research frontiers and cutting-edge technologies. This year, the extensive research programmes carried out by the University in different fields of agricultural sciences have paved the way for agricultural development in Gujarat, resulting in remarkable output. 5 new improved high yielding varieties, viz. Paddy-Mahisagar, Gujarat Anand Ashwagandha-1, Gujarat Anand Desi Cotton-2, Gujarat Anand Mungbean-5, Gujarat Anand Oil Seed-1, Gujarat Anand Garlic 6, Gujarat Anand Basil 1, Oat JO-03-91; have been released for the use of the farmers. In add itio n to this, 102 technologies have been released and recommended; 62 for farmers as well as entrepreneurs and 50 technologies for scientific community. To avail the pure and reliable seeds by the farmers, a unit of Regional Research Station established by the university from where the seeds are directly sold to the farmers under the brand name of "Anubhav Seeds". The seed processing and seed testing facilities also boosted the efforts of seed quality assurance. Moreover, the university has started seed production through Participatory Seed Production on farmers’ fields. Through its Extension activities, Anand Agricultural University ensures that its research outcome reaches the real stakeholders. Our University diligently follows Hon’ble Prime Minister’s Lab-to-Land principle, and this year, our transfer of technology centres, including KVKs organized a number of extension education activities. Our scientists reached the interiors of Central Gujarat during Kharif and Rabi Krishi Mahotsav and made it a huge success. Our ‘Input Dealers’ Training Course’ is vastly helping the farm sector, as now the dealers are providing better services. The faculty members, staff and students are provided the intranet and internet facilities through our IT cell to remain connected with world so that they make use of IT in education, research and extension. The use of e-governance is adopted in the university. I once again feel privileged to assert that Anand Agricultural University has witnessed enormous growth in the past few years, with the introduction of new courses of study, new disciplines and new initiatives. With the range of disciplines represented and the fine quality of the staff and students bringing laurels to the Institution, the University is now well poised to make its mark at national as well as global levels. I heartily congratulate the entire AAU fraternity for their incessant efforts in bringing our University to this level. I am sure that this saga of success would continue for all the time to come.

  • 'Sisters Under the Skin'
    Special articles ‘Sisters under the Skin’ Events of 2002 and Girls’ Education in Ahmedabad Even after the immediate violence has ceased, communal tension continues to exercise a vitiating influence on citizens and everyday modes of existence. This article looks at two girls’ schools in Ahmedabad, one sited in a Muslim locality and the other in a mixed dalit-Muslim populated neighbourhood, to study the impact of the events of 2002 on education. Fear and a history of violence have fostered antagonisms among different communities, while diminishing job opportunities and poverty imply that education opportunities, once available for girls, no longer exist. Denial of education, in turn, perpetuates illiteracy and trends towards an early marriage. The policies of a state government that sees communities as political votebanks have done little to restore amity between communities and faith in the state’s “secular” credentials. SUCHITRA SHETH, NINA HAEEMS he events of 2002 in Gujarat have generally perceived as is located did not directly experience violence during 2002.

A society which for centuries absorbed diverse people today appears insular and patochiai, and while it is one of the most prosperous slates in India, a fifth of its population lives below the poverty line. J Drawing on academic and scholarly sources, autobiographies, G U ARAT letters, literature and folksongs, Achyut Yagnik and Such Lira Strath attempt to Understand and explain these paradoxes, t hey trace the 2 a 6 :E e o n d i n a U t V a n y history of Gujarat from the time of the Indus Valley civilization, when Gujarati society came to be a synthesis of diverse peoples and cultures, to the state's encounters with the Turks, Marathas and the Portuguese t which sowed the seeds ol communal disharmony. Taking a closer look at the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the authors explore the political tensions, social dynamics and economic forces thal contributed to making the state what it is today, the impact of the British policies; the process of industrialization and urbanization^ and the rise of the middle class; the emergence of the idea of '5wadeshi“; the coming £ G and hr and his attempts to transform society and politics by bringing together diverse Gujarati cultural sources; and the series of communal riots that rocked Gujarat even as the state was consumed by nationalist fervour.

The ICICI Home Finance Company team undertook a detailed city survey and presented below are the key highlights of the report. The development of residential townships, malls, office spaces and flyovers are some of the growth stimulators changing the cityscape of Ahmedabad. Maximum activity in terms of planned residential, commercial and retail development can be witnessed in this western micro market of Ahmedabad. Residential real estate of Ahmedabad is dominated by private players and the market is also heavily driven by an active investor base, with most of the participants plowing capital market profits into the real estate markets. Real estate scenario in the city has been stagnant in the near term, owing to the increased home loan rates and slowdown in the equity markets. However, in the long term, we see an appreciation of 9–10% YoY in property prices over the next 5 years, due to the inherent demand and the continued pace of infrastructure developments in the city.
