The mandate of the Directorate of Farms is to produce and supply the quality seeds i.e. Foundation/Certified/TFL category of various Rabi and Kharif crops to the seed growers for further multiplication and farmers during the Kisan Melas/Farm Darshan organized by the University and Kisan Seva Kendra. The Haryana Seeds Development Corporation is the major buyer of the foundation seeds produced by this Directorate. The HSDC place the indent of foundation seed of various crops and accordingly the cropping plan is finalized by the Cropping Plan Committee of the University. The additional seed produced is being supplied to the Government Agencies like IFFCO, KRIBHCO, N.S.C. and private seed growers. This Directorate also renders the tractors with immediate, transport vehicle and water tankers facilities to the research schemes/Departments of the University. The Directorate also provides security services to entire farm area including the research field of the University.
