Vision and Mission
The department undertakes the courses related to processing of agricultural products, related machines and technologies and storage and management of produce. The department also caters the courses of electrical, electronics and instrumentation engineering. The degree of M.Tech and PhD in Post Harvest Engineering and their courses are offered by the department apart from catering the courses of undergraduate (B.Tech) level. The department was established along with the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, in the year 1996. The mission of the department is to carry out three fold activities, eg., teaching, research and extension. Under teaching, it prepares the students to be equipped with the modern technologies of processing and storage of agricultural produce. In the field of research, the department is striving continuously to develop technologies and equipment for value addition of agricultural products. Under extension, it aims to develop trained manpower and wide awareness on technologies and equipment for value addition.
