Discover Our Story01 / About
The Centre for Agriculture Production is a premier hub dedicated to advancing agricultural productivity through cutting-edge production technologies and the adaptation of innovative farming practices. Established with a strong focus on applied research and practical solutions, the Centre comprises 24 specialized research units supported by a team of 44 experienced faculty members from diverse branches of Agricultural Sciences.
These units actively work on critical areas such as high-yield production systems, efficient utilization of agricultural inputs, and sustainable farming technologies. The centre also offers specialized certificate and skill development courses within each research unit, providing students with hands-on experience.
Through a balanced blend of research, technology dissemination, student engagement, and entrepreneurship development, CAP strives to bridge the gap between scientific advancements and real-world farming applications — contributing significantly to sustainable agriculture and rural livelihoods.
Established on 15th August 2020 with six units; expanded to 24 over five years, along with a sub-research centre — Innovative Horticulture.
