Proposal for post-graduate course accepted by GAU

The Academic Council of Gujarat Agricultural University (GAU) in its recently held meeting at Sardar Krushinagar (Banaskantha) has approved the proposal for starting an international postgraduate course in Agricultural Business Management.

Vice-Chancellor of GAU Dr. M H Mehta said the university has decided to review the changes in syllabus and course curriculum in various faculties such as Dairy Technology, Veterinary Science and Home Science. These, Mehta said, have been observed to meet the challenges and future requirement. It has been observed from the list of students admitted last year that bright students with higher percentage of marks have opted for veterinary science and dairy technology including agriculture, Mehta said. Emphasising on the need for starting an International Agricultural Business Management Course, Mehta said the university had to keep the changes in the world scenario in mind and the course will have a large component of e-commerce.

He said the GAU will also consider collaboration with national and international agencies for such courses. He even hinted at the use of GAU’s satellite Krushi Gosthi. Mehta said necessary provisions will be made in the rules for NRI students who can be admitted. through reserved seats allotted to them for various degree courses.
