At present research under All India Coordinated Research Project on Women in Agriculture and State funded research scheme is being undertaken. One scheme under Scheduled Caste (SC) sub plan on entrepreneurship and skill development of SC rural women is also being implemented by the Department.
In order to stand up in the tough competition, the students need to possess extra valuable knowledge and skills which can make them recognized and distinguished from others. Hence, trainings for UG and PG students on topics like Skill development in handicrafts; Designing competencies with ICT tools; Communication skills & personality development and Research Project Management are regularly organized by the Department. This helps to develop soft skills and improve employability. Moreover, the students get an important element which they can add to their resumes by attending such trainings.
The focus of extension activities of the Department is on developing and strengthening horizontal and vertical linkages with various stakeholders working for welfare of rural community. The Department contributes significantly in capacity building of field functionaries, members of self-help groups and rural women to acquire the latest know-how by organizing short term trainings, extension activities and media exposure on need based messages.

Infrastructural Development
- The department has a Botanical Garden spread over an area of 10.5 acres with rich biodiversity. The department has done pioneering work in conserving the indigenour local species of plant and also introduction of exotic specis (approximately 600) from other places. Various native and exotic trees, shurbs, herbs, climbers, aquatic plants, cacti and succulents have been collected and maintained for imparting knowledge to our students as well as related scientists. Flower shows are organized from time to time.
- The department has 9 screening houses near the college building.
- The department has developed 20 salinity micro plots to determine phyto-remediating potential of halophytic flora and 24 lysimeter have been installed in field to determine the transpirational potential of trees having importannce in bio-drainage.
- Experimental farms spread over 25 acres have been developed to evaluate bio-drainage potential of trees to improve waterlogged soils.
Package and Practices
system having Eucalyptus tereticornis as a strip plantation should be established on the water logged soils. In this model north to south field boundary is converted into 2.6 m wide and 45 cm high raised bund on which two rows of trees can be planted. The intervening space is left for the crops with minimum of shade effect due to the north-south direction of bunds� initiated by Drs. O.P. Toky, Rajiv Angrish and J.C. Kaushik included in the HAU Package of Practices.
