NDUAT Newsletter Vol.03, No.02 July-September, 2017 From the desk of Vice Chancellor This Newsletter highlights the activities, progress and achievements of the university during the third quarter of 2017. In this quarter we welcomed the new students of B.Sc. (Ag.), B.V.Sc. & A.H., B.Sc. (Hort.), B.F.Sc., B.Tech. (Ag. Engg., Mech. Engg. and Comp. Sc. & Engg.) and B.Sc. (Home Sc.). Apart from these undergraduate programmes, students are also admitted in various PG and Ph.D. programmes. This quarter had been quite exciting for us because we have organized several campaigns i.e. Swachta Pakhwada, Sankalp Se Siddhi- New India Manthan Programme, Swachata Hi Sewa, Parthenium Awareness Week and Nutrition Week along with celebration of important days i.e. Teacher’s day, Gandhi Jayanti, Pt. Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Jayanti and World Honey Bee day. Since our focus is on transferring the latest scientific findings to the farmers through training and field demonstrations to reduce the cost of cultivation in agriculture and doubling the farmers income by 2022. To achieve the target, all the new technologies developed by university and KVKs are compiled in the form of technology book “Krishak Aay Samvardhan Mein Krishi Vigyan Kendra” which will provide a land mark to the farmers. This quarter eight (8) new KVKs are sanctioned to this university by the Government of India. As a result new technologies could be disseminated to the farmers of remote areas too. A high yielding Linseed variety Narendra Alsi-5 (NDL 2011-33) has been identified for release by the Central Variety Identification Committee for cultivation under moist stress (UTERA) condition which may increase the oilseed production in eastern U.P.
