ALLIANCES

Our Outlook

The SAST gives equal weightage to teaching, research and extension components in the curriculum. The school aims to generate knowledge for efficient management of agricultural production and agribusiness sector by preparing young dynamic graduates and entrepreneurs. We impart high level practical training supported by field-based research through effective linkages between national & international academic institutions as well as organizations and agencies. We have long term plans to offer consultancy to national & international organizations in the field of agriculture and allied sectors for higher production and productivity.
