About Faculty of Agricultural Sciences
The Faculty of Agriculture Sciences of Mandsaur University offers graduate and post  graduation programs in agriculture where students get hand-on experience on  scientific agricultural education with practical work in the lab and fields. This  department has improved the life of our future agriculturalists by creating innovative  solutions for agriculture, food, community and the environment.Â
The objective of the B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture program is to educate future  agriculturalist, with the knowledge and skills in agricultural production, process, and  farming based on agricultural, natural, technical and economic sciences in diverse  areas of modern agriculture.Â
Innovative programmesÂ
Some of the innovative courses in B. Sc. (Hons). Agriculture curriculum activities are  based on practical-orientated like Practical Crop Production (PCP) and Rural  Agricultural Work Experience (RAWE).Â
Rural Agricultural Work Experience (RAWE)Â
In RAWE students are exposed to real life of rural settings. Its aim is to develop a  sense of awareness among the students about the problems of farmers and rural  people to inculcate professional attitude in facing real-life problems. Major  components are industrial attachment, field visits, village attachment and plant clinic.  In the industrial attachment, students get attached to an agro based industry and gain  work experience over there. In village attachment, students get attached to a village  where they work with farmers. They also help farmers in various operations. Field  visits are organized to progressive farms, Krishi Vigyan Kendras, Horticulture  Centers and IPM Laboratory, etc. In the plant clinic, students undergo rigorous  training. They diagnose the various problems of soils and plants related to production  and give solutions or suggestions to farmers.Â
Practical Crop Production (PCP)Â
It is an integral part of the course curriculum for B. Sc. (Hons) Ag. Degree program.  In this land is provided to a group of students. They have to cultivate it themselves.  They not only earn during PCP by selling their produce but also bear the risks  associated with crop production.Â
Laboratory FacilitiesÂ
The University has well-equipped laboratories where students do experiments and  get practical knowledge. Here laboratories are functioning in different subjects.Â
Computer CellÂ
It has a large number of computers with internet facility. The students can use these  computers for their work at any hour of the day.Â
Students Placement CellÂ
This cell helps the students by providing training and counseling and getting them  good placement. The eligible students join MNC every year through campus  interviews.

HOD's Message
Agriculture Science covers a wide range of fields, from basic to applied, to contribute to human survival and life, including the analysis of biological functions, the production of foods that make effective use of those functions, the conservation of the natural environment, and the maintenance of our living environment, including local communities. In other words, modern agriculture is not only an industry but also a practical study that supports our lives.Â
The Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, Mandsaur University is one of the most reputed agricultural institutes in Malwa MP. Our goal is to expand knowledge and develop professional skills that ultimately improve students’ ability to research, think critically, and work in teams. Rest assured that we are committed to providing quality, knowledge-based education, and valuable practical experience through hands-on training in modern scientific laboratories, hiÂ
tech horticulture, adopted villages, and Agro-Industry. The result of the quality, experienced, and committed faculty is our credibility and reputation as an agricultural institute which is supported by the energy, enthusiasm, and ingenuity of our students. Â
Mandsaur University (MU) adheresthe quality standards of education by providing our students with a practical education that prepares them for careers in a growing job market. There is an increasing demand for graduates with degrees in agriculture and related fields and MU is here to meet that demand. We offer professional 4-year degree programs in agriculture as per the report of the 5th Dean’s Committee of ICAR that provide comprehensive basic skills and advanced programs at the Master’s levels. We provide a conducive teaching and learning environment with state-of-theÂ
art infrastructure and facilities that have enabled us to attract students from all over the world. We offer a diverse range of academic degree programs and students benefit from our faculty members’ expertise in teaching, research, and extension.Â
We have highly qualified and experienced faculty members from parts of the country. Students’ active participation and involvement in co-curricular and co-curricular activities and community service significantly enhance students’ vision and perspective. Regularly updating the curriculum as per the reports of Dean’s Committees and the demand of the industry through the use of best practices and ongoing review of student learning outcomes is the stamp of authentication of our teaching-learning practices.
