Farm Education: How to make our agricultural universities perform – like in the sixties
The ICAR should be given statutory powers to regulate and set minimum standards for varsities similar to Medical, Dental, or Bar Council of India.
The majority of university faculty has
limited exposure to frontier research areas such as agri-nanotechnology and
agri-informatics because of outdated curriculum, lack of advanced training and
refresher courses, poor farm and library
facilities, and obsolete laboratory equipment and infrastructure — made
worse by promotions without examination and the ubiquitous ‘sons-of-the-soil”
approach.
