Best College in Dehradun | Top Universities in North India

Glocal School of Agricultural Sciences integrates all the three functions viz., education, research and extension services for sustainable development of agriculture.
To Provide high quality research and development to the students with an understanding and ability to apply fundamental principles of agriculture, horticulture, vegetable production and cereal varieties development, their seed production, disease and insect pest management and post-harvest management.
To develop knowledge about the various Agriculture, Horticulture, and vegetable crops for the enhancement of production and productivity of vegetables, Cereals, Horticulture commodities in the rural area.

Requirement and Challenges

To carryout basic and strategic research on Agriculture/vegetables for development of new varieties.
Standardization and demonstration of advanced production and protection technologies including protected cultivation and organic farming
Production and distribution of high quality agriculture/vegetable breeder seeds and planting materials.

Basic infrastructure of different laboratories

Personality Development of Students

Students are motivated for dealing through seminars talks on the relevant topics and acquaintance with various innovative technologies.
Power point presentation are arranged where the students are exposed for interaction among the students.
A strong course curriculum, which includes RAWE, Plant Health Clinics and Practical Crop Production, are the assets of Glocal University agriculture programme, which excludes it from other Universities.

GOAL

To bridge the agricultural technology gap at grass root level
To link farmers with newly emerging globalized world by providing them information and guidance
To generate employment in the field of agriculture and allied disciplines. Agriculturalist should become service provider
Integration of Information Technology in rural system for their development.

Hi-tech Agriculture

Establishment of Agricultural Technology Information Centre (ATIC) AIMS
Reaching to Un-reached
One stop hub for farmers
To work as a single window delivery system, where farmers get information and inputs at one place

Activities of ATIC at Glocal University

To provide technological Inputs like

Seeds planting material,
Bio-fertilizers, Bio-pesticides,
Literature on agriculture, horticulture, forestry, vegetables, animal husbandry and agricultural implements.

Establishment of Glocal Plant Health Clinic

AIMS

Providing diagnostic services related to agriculture and its allied fields
Facilitating laboratory tests on soil samples, fertilizers.
To provide farm advisory through “Glocal Helpline Services” to the farmers and others on phone, mobile phone number by calling a toll free Glocal Kisan call Centre.

Innovation towards Monitoring & Surveillance

Fascinating plan to introduce the DRONE technology at the Glocal University.
This strategic vision for School of Agricultural Sciences, which will be an asset to our Glocal University and in particular for agriculture development in rural areas.
Monitoring of Pests in different crop Ecosystem/Forest/Horticulture Crop pest surveillance and monitoring are the very important corner stones in pest management programme.
It gives complete vigilance of the pest, N.Es, cropping system and weather forecast.

It is useful in following ways

Identification of geographical distribution key mortality factor, peak activity, mode of carry over and off-season survival of the pest.
Conservation of N.Es
Precision Farming
Remote sensing and information system.
Preparedness of Crop protection Managers and Farmers
Avoidance of excessive use of pesticides
Reduction in crop production cost
Environment protection

Facilities

To impart the practical knowledge and R&D activities, the Glocal School of Agricultural Sciences is to supplement adequate infrastructures like-
Crop Research Centre (CRC)
Organic Farming Research Centre (ORC)
Vegetable Research Centre (VRC)
Model Floriculture Centre (MFC)
Medicinal plants Research and development Centre (MPRDC)

Course of Action

To carryout basic and strategic research on Agriculture/vegetables for development of new varieties.

To develop superior, disease and insect –pest resistant high yielding varieties/hybrids of major vegetable crops.
Standardization and demonstration of advanced production and protection technologies including protected cultivation. Production and distribution of high quality agriculture/vegetable breeder seeds and planting materials.
Collection, evaluation and maintenance quality agriculture/vegetable breeder seeds and planting materials germplasm
To conduct varietal trial on major vegetables/agriculture crops.
Avoidance of excessive use of pesticides
Station/State varietal trials.
Organic farming on vegetable/agriculture crops.
To disseminate and promote technologies for sustainable management of vegetables and their resource

ROAD MAP PLANNING FOR VEGETABLE RESEARCH CENTRE

Raising of seedlings of different vegetables in different seasons.
Sowing of vegetable seeds, transplanting of seedlings.
Manure and fertilizers and water managements in vegetables crops.
Weed control in vegetable production.
Use of growth regulators in vegetable production.
Harvesting of vegetables.
Seed production technology in vegetable crops.
Marketing of vegetables.
Marketing of vegetables from the farmer’s field direct to the open market.
Economics of vegetable production.
Preparation of cropping schemes for a given research Centre and demonstration to the farmers.

Validation of the technology at Farmer’s field

Conduction of farmer’s fair at Glocal University.
Conduction of field day at FARMER’S FIELD for one day.
Supply of extension material to the farmer e.g., leaflets, booklets etc.
Popularization of extension activities through media, TV regarding Glocal University Agriculture Technology

FUTURE PLAN

Development of diagnostic tools and technologies for pest management.
Development of technology for mass production, formulation and delivery of bio-pesticides agents for pest management
Application of Remote Sensing for deriving biophysical parameters through Drone Technologies.
Agro production and Protection technologies for small farmers and organic agriculture.
