Agriculture and Rural Management is bridge between rural agriculture society and its development in countries like India where farming is its main economic activity. Main contribution of agriculture to rural development are employment, agricultural income (Farm Profit), earnings from ancillary businesses and environmental services with effective use of scarce resources like land, labour and capital. Thus, managing agriculture and rural society is highly important. Developing countries are moving from being largely rural and agrarian to becoming urban and industrial. Thus, create jobs and livelihoods for small farmers and the landless, while producing food and raw materials for the urban economy.
Agriculture and Rural Management will train students to be efficient in managing improved agriculture technologies leading to increased productivity and profitability of agriculture and horticulture sector. They will help the rural society to convert traditional sustainable agriculture into agribusiness through modern technologies and agricultural policies. It opens doors for students to start their carrier in multitude of industries like commercial farming, retail marketing, food processing, food production, allied farming industry and rural financing and banking. Since increasing the scale of production is only concern and most farmers are smallholders. Hence, finding ways to link small farmers with large-scale enterprises in terms of supply chains is a challenge.
The Unit of Agriculture & Rural Management in ACAR provides knowledge for students, to the study of opportunities for smallholder farmers to scale up their activity and increase market engagement by providing the following courses. ARM 301,ARM 451
The aim of the unit is to offer enriching learning experiences to aspiring young students and ensure special talents in various domain of mathematics. They are prepared to face the interviews confidently and get attractive placements. The unit is under the vision to achieve academic excellence, develop talents as well as practical skills and include healthy attitudes through systematic and effective teaching.
The course MAT 111 Elementary Mathematics (1+1) course is offered during the first semester. In this course the students get familiar about permutation, combination, matrix, differential and integral calculus and they are very much familiar about linear, quadratic and exponential models, who help the students to learn about economics.
We also Conduct Maths Refreshment course for the first years weekly thrice as Co-curriculum. This course is a bridge between basic mathematics and advanced mathematics. This course will be helpful for students moving from school mathematics to a degree level. It covers important basic concepts and formulae of basic algebra, logarithms, trigonometry, derivatives, integrations and models. It shows the correct use of various formulae.
The course STA 201 Statistical Methods (1+1) course for Fourth semester. This course helps to the students to understand and apply fundamental concept of statistical applications in agriculture and allied sciences and to acquire about the theoretical concepts of data collection, graphical and diagrammatical representation of data, descriptive statistics, sampling methods, testing of hypothesis, correlation, regression, ANOVA and basic design of experiments.
We also Conduct Maths Refreshment course for First years weekly thrice as Co-curriculum to enhance their calculation and Brainstorming skills during their leisure time.
The main goal of unit of Computer Science is to improve the students’ capacity to establish and maintain the system that will produce future leaders. Since the lifespan of the common tools and approaches used today is being shortened by consistent and quick improvements in computing technology, learning is a continual process that does not finish with the attainment of a degree. As a result, we do not try to turn our students into walking manuals for any one language or software. Instead, students are given a solid foundation in computer science, taught how to solve problems and made flexible.
The goal is to combine academic achievement with the development of character through value-based education, which is favourable to enhance the students’ innate abilities and confidence to take on the problems of the world.
