Vision

Rajasthan, the largest state in the country, occupies 10 percent geographical area but has only 1 per cent
available water resource of the country. Low and erratic rains make agriculture a difficult task in most of
the years. The desert soil is not only thirsty but hungry too. Therefore, knowledge of efficient rainwater
conservation, drought management and pressurized irrigation for high water use efficiency, fertilizer
management need utmost attention for the College of Agriculture for imparting knowledge to the students and
conducting research for holistic development of state agriculture. Identification of drought tolerant
varieties and water-saving technologies is equally important for profitable agriculture in the state. Deptt.
of agronomy, COA is gearing up its teaching and research system to address these priorities in fullest
measure.
