DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SCIENCE :

After initiation of college, it was a need to separate the various departments for the justification of teaching and research activities. Hence, the Department of Social Science was started with multi-functional activities like Teaching and Extension in Social science. The department is working for teaching and Extension activities in Social science disciplines of horticulture for the students and farmers with following objectives.

OBJECTIVES :

1. To provide under graduate education in Social science discipline.
2. Provide advisory services to each discipline in each faculty and each crop by experimental design, scrutiny of data, data analysis and interpretation of data analysis.
3. To conduct basic research on the felt needs of farmers.
4. We impart teaching and conducting research in basic economics, Horti – Business Management, Fundamentals of Extension Education, Elementary Statistics, Communication Skills and Personality Development.
5. So far as extension activities are concerned
• We conduct farmers’ and officials’ training to create knowledge regarding market intelligence and market awareness.
• Participation in Krishi Mahotsav, Krishi Mela and Farmers’ fairs.
• Knowledge sharing to the visiting farmers, students of different universities and distinguished visitors.
• Publication of popular articles, T. V. and Radio Talks.
