The Department of Agricultural Technology, in collaboration with the Department of Botany, Sri Pratap College, Srinagar, successfully conducted an extensive programme on maize seed production, demonstration, and breeding during the academic session 2026. The programme was conceived with the dual objective of strengthening the Institutions' research capabilities in crop improvement while providing experiential learning opportunities to Undergraduate (UG), Postgraduate (PG), and Integrated Graduate (IG) students through field-based training in modern plant breeding and seed production technologies. The activities were undertaken with particular emphasis on developing climate-resilient maize germplasm, improving lodging resistance, ensuring nutritional security through biofortification, and establishing institutional self-reliance in germplasm development suited to the temperate agro-climatic conditions of Jammu & Kashmir.
