Programme

Diploma in Crop Production and Management

The program encompasses a key course of Farm practices and special Projects designed to provide students with daily hands-on practical experience on the farm, along with an outreach course in which students in the conclusion of the academic year interact with farming communities to disseminate key modern skills and technologies to farmers. Given that the majority of our farmers practice Mixed farming, a Livestock production course also features in the curriculum in order to provide scholars with the expertise and abilities needed to practice mixed and Organic farming as well.
