About the Department

  

        The basic aim of the department of Genetics and Plant Breeding is to impart quality teaching and research to the Undergraduate and Post Graduate students. The department is having 1 Professor, 4 Assistant Professor, 1 Field Assistant and 1 Farm Labour along with 1 Professor and 4 Assistant Professor from MARS, Raichur. Our faculty put the best possible efforts to ensure that the students learn the art, science and technology of plant breeding, which helps them to face the world confidently and with high self-esteem. Students are motivated and guided by the experts to participate in various programs related to research, cultural, sports and academics. Disciplined environment, conducive to Teaching- Learning, with rigorous academic monitoring.

Well quipped UG and PG laboratory with advanced molecular and tissue culture facilities along with separate Departmental Field for conducting practical and PG research work is facilitated in department.
