PREFACE India faced the challenge of providing food security to millions of its people soon after independence. The Research and Development initiatives taken by the Government of India resulted in the ‘Green revolution’ in the late 60s and early 70s. As a result of ‘Green revolution’, India has made significant achievement through production of 228 million tonnes of food grains and gained self-sufficiency. But considering the nutritional security, economic sustainability and high generation of employment, Horticulture sector plays an important role. Hence, it was only in mid-80s that the Government of India recognized the importance of Horticulture sector and thus greater emphasis was given on this. It is a means of diversification for making agriculture more profitable through efficient land use, optimum utilization of natural resources and creating skilled employment for rural masses. Horticulture has invariably improved the economic status of our farmers. It has also played a significant role in improving floriculture, plantation, spices, medicinal, aromatic industry, fruit and vegetable production and processing, production of quality seed and planting materials, encouraging hi-tech horticulture, contract farming, cooperative farming, participatory approach of production and marketing, etc. Thus, there is a growing awareness about the advantages of the horticultural crop production and this is bound to go up with the increase in socio- economic status of the people. The R & D programmes in horticulture have received an impressive support from the Eighth Five Year Plan onwards. As a result, the research infrastructure has increased manifold with the setting up of a number of new institutes, national research centres in several crops, important both from domestic as well as export point of view. The establishment of educational institutions in the field of horticulture plays a pivotal role in developing human resource, which would cater to the needs of horticulture industry. To cater the horticulture needs of the farmers of northern Karnataka and to develop the quality human resource in the field of horticulture, the Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture, Arabhavi was established at Arabhavi on 31.08.1994 under the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, and is presently functioning under the University of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot. The college offers undergraduate, postgraduate and Ph.D. courses and has the admission capacity of 50 students for undergraduate, 30 students for Masters and 8 students for Ph.D. degree programme annually excluding ICAR quota students. Students of this college have excelled not only in curriculum but also in extracurricular activities and national level

Self Study Report of KRCCH, Arabhavi 6.5 SELF STUDY REPORT OF KRC COLLEGE OF HORTICULTURE, ARABHAVI Karnataka State earlier had only one Agricultural University serving the entire state with its headquarters at Bengaluru. In 1986, the university was bifurcated to establish another university with headquarters at Dharwad to strengthen teaching, research and extension education activities in eight (now twelve) districts of Northern Karnataka. Further, to give impetus to horticulture, Government of Karnataka in the year 2008 established University of Horticultural Sciences at Bagalkot, taking into its purview the horticulture related institutes from UAS, Bengaluru and UAS, Dharwad. Belagavi and surrounding areas are most suited for horticultural crops with abundant resources like water, transportation and nearby markets like Belagavi, Kolhapur, Goa, Mumbai and Pune. But farmers were not keen to take up horticulture crops which could be due to lack of awareness about the cultivation aspects and further this region was devoid of any premier institution for imparting knowledge in horticulture sector. Realizing the importance of horticulture and necessity of an institution, Government of Karnataka passed an ordinance in August, 1994 to establish a horticulture college and thus Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture came into existence, which is the second horticultural college in the state. Historical Development Kittur Rani Channamma College of Horticulture (KRCCH, Arabhavi) under University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad was established at Arabhavi, Gokak Taluk, Belagavi district during the year 1994. During the year 2008, after the establishment of UHS Bagalkot, it was brought under the jurisdiction of UHSB as one of the constituent colleges The college is situated at a distance of 10 km from Gokak town and 75 km from Belagavi district headquarters. Nearest Railway Station is Ghataprabha which is 8 km away from Arabhavi and airport is located at Belagavi. Our District KRC College of Horticulture is located near the village Arabhavi in Gokak Taluk of Belagavi district.

6.5.7.4. Employability During the period of students’ course work they will register for courses like students READY including ELP (Experiential Learning Programme) and RHWE programme wherein they will learn practical aspects of commercial horticulture, protected cultivation of high valued crops and production of bio inputs and formulations and thus they will be made to be self- confident by earning while learning. More specifically they are exposed to production of high value horticultural crops and gaining knowledge about strategies of marketing etc. The students will be taught to initiate their own entrepreneurship and become self-employer in addition to the government jobs in both state and central government. The college will conduct series of lectures, personality development programmes and seminars from prominent speakers on employment opportunities for horticulture students in the private, public and government sector within India and abroad. Experiential Learning Programme (ELP) Experimental learning is a philosophy and methodology in which educators purposefully engaged with learners in direct experience and focused reflection in order to increase knowledge, develop skill, entrepreneurship and inculcate values. ELP is for building skills in project development and execution, decision making individual and team co-ordination. Carefully calibrated activities move participants to explore and discover their own potential and in process, provide analytical skills and business acumen. Both activities and facilitation play a critical role in enhancing team performance. ELP thus, provides the students an excellent opportunity to develop analytical and entrepreneurial skills, and knowledge through meaningful hands on experience confidence in their ability to design and execute project work. Special infra-structure has been established in the form of green-houses, poly-houses, nursery facility, post-harvest handling, processing and packing facility. Special emphasis is given to encourage student to plan and execute new business models in the identified ELP programme and are assessed based on their economic returns /profits realized during the programme. Rural Horticultural Work Experience Programme (RHWEP) Rural horticultural work experience programme (RHWEP) now included under students READY (Rural Entrepreneurship Awareness Development Yojana) is allotted with 20 credit hours under

Self Study Report of KRCCH, Arabhavi which the students are placed in rural environment for 12 weeks to get first-hand experience and understanding of farming systems and rural life. The prime objective of this programme is to provide an understanding of rural community, insight into socio-economic conditions of rural families, work experience in crop production, to develop communication skills, inculcate required confidence and competence in solving problems related to horticulture and allied activities. It also provides an opportunity to work with individuals, groups and communities comprising of farm men, women and youth including local leaders, local institutions and grass root level functionaries of various development departments. Precisely, it is an opportunity to practice in rural areas what has been learnt by the students in the college for a period of three and half years. After village stay, the students are also deputed for three weeks in different commercial/ business hubs related to horti-business activities like seed production industries, commercial nurseries, processing industries etc. to understand the commercial environment of horti-business enterprise. Impact of ELP & RHWE During the last five years (2013-14 to 2017-18), 293 students have successfully completed the undergraduate programme. In the process of conducting various educational activities by involving farming community, they were able to create awareness, motivate and facilitate adoption of wide range of technologies in almost all the contact villages. In addition, the students assisted in establishment of nutritional gardens, tree plantation in individual and community holdings, soil testing and interpretation of test results, improved plant propagation techniques, top working in fruit crops, preparation of nursery beds, plant protection, organic farming, processing and value addition, rodent control campaign, improved methods of storage of grains and other relevant technologies. The students gained enough experience by organizing various educational activities such as group meetings, method demonstrations, and initiation of result demonstrations, training programmes, campaigns, exhibitions, preparation and use of relevant teaching aids. The exposure of students to various developmental programmes undertaken by different departments of the Government has enriched their knowledge in rural development. The feedback analysis revealed that the farmers benefit from such programmes.
