Seeing the increasing demand for the courses in agricultural sciences, the University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS), Dharwad, has introduced an innovative undergraduate engineering course — Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech) in food technology — from this academic year.
Vice-Chancellor R.R. Hanchinal told Engineering Entrance Guide that it is a self-financed course.
“The institute has developed all the necessary facilities including teaching and practical learning infrastructure utilizing funds released under the Rs. 50 crore special grants by the Central Government. The university will also invest around Rs. 10 crore for launching this programme.”
R.R. Hanchinal, Vice-Chancellor, University of Agricultural Sciences
The total intake this year will be 30 and the university will consider increasing it based on the response from the students. Also, plans are there to launch an M.Tech course in food technology in the coming days. The course fee will be on par with the fee of similar professional courses offered by other government engineering colleges and it may be around Rs. 40,000 per annum.
“At present courses in food technology were being offered at the University Agricultural Sciences (UAS), Bangalore, and the Mysore-based Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI). But in CFTRI all States have a quota and only 2 seats are available for students of Karnataka. Even in UAS, Bangalore, not all students could get admission. Moreover, the students from north Karnataka have to travel all the way to Bangalore to pursue this course. UAS, Dharwad, is the first institute to launch this course in the north Karnataka region.”
R.R. Hanchinal
“Growing food technology sector and the food processing industry had created demand for trained graduates in this field.”
Nirmala Yenagi, Course Coordinator, of Agricultural Sciences
Apart from providing better career opportunities, this course also helps the graduates to go for self-employment by setting up food processing units and enterprises.
“The food technology courses have become more popular in the neighboring Maharashtra and many graduates have emerged as thriving entrepreneurs there”.
Nirmala Yenagi
Prof. Hanchinal said many foreign universities and research institutes have shown interest to collaborate with UAS, Dharwad, in various fields including teaching and research and development. Hence, the university was also contemplating launching the dual degree programmes in the agricultural engineering and agricultural science courses. Here the students would get an opportunity to pursue education both at their university as well as at the foreign university with which the UAS, Dharwad, enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
Ansal Institute of engineering & management was established in Lucknow for imparting engineering education to increase pertinent technical manpower.
