”Agricultural education will never be in vain, because agriculture is the largest sector in the country. When all businesses came to a standstill during the coronavirus pandemic, the agricultural sector has never stood still,” said the governor.
University scientists should bring their research directly to farmers, he said.
Vice Chancellor Dr. Sharad Gadakh said on the occasion that in the future, one village from each district in the jurisdiction of the university will be developed as a model village and agriculture and other development activities will be implemented there.
A total of 4,327 students along with 30 PHD holders, 23 postgraduates and 1,922 master’s degree students took part in the convocation ceremony.
