Brief introduction of University and Faculty of Agricultural Sciences with mandate Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) is a public central university located in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India, Established in 1875 by the social reformer, Sir Syed Ahmad Khan. He realized the acute need among Indians for modern education and, to achieve, his goal, started a college under the title “Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental College” (MAO College). Later the Mohammedan Anglo-Oriental College became Aligarh Muslim University by Aligarh Muslim University Act in 1920. It is one of the first institutions established during the British Raj, which was later established. Spread over 467.6 hectare in the city of Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, Aligarh Muslim University is a residential academic institution offering more than 300 courses in the traditional and modern branches of education. It has almost 30,000 students, about 1,400 faculty members and some 6000 non-teaching staff on its rolls with about 102 departments, 5 institutions and 13 center’s under 13 faculties. In addition to Agricultural Sciences, it has the faculties of Arts, Commerce, Engineering and Technology, Medicine, Unani Medicine, Law, Science, Life Sciences, Social Sciences, Management and Technology. Being the largest Residential University of the country it has 19 halls of residence with 80 hostels. The medium of instruction is primarily English. The University draws students from all corners of the country as well as from foreign countries especially Africa, West Asia and South-East Asia. In some courses, seats are reserved for students from SAARC and Common Wealth Countries. The University maintains interdepartmental research center’s such as Interdisciplinary Unit of Biotechnology, Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Diabetes, Interdisciplinary center for Nanotechnolgy, UGC Academic Staff College, Centre of West Asian Studies, Centre for Women’s Studies, Centre for Nehru Studies, and Centre for Continuing and Adult Education. The MA library of the University performs the functions as a national library, so far as its collection of oriental manuscripts is concerned. It is for these rich collections of immense research value that the library is reckoned among the major libraries of the World. The oldest manuscript owned by the Library is more that 1,400 years old. The library provides the campus-wide access to online journals through a well- equipped computer lab. Digital resources on many subjects are made accessible through a Digital Resource Centre, where free e-resources are tapped for the benefit of the university community. Aligarh Muslim

• Most of the students graduated from the Department of Agricultural Microbiology are placed in Academics/research Institution for pursuing higher education (Ph.D./PDF) in India and abroad. Sixteen students have been successfully placed in Government and private sector through national examinations as well as interviews arranged by different agencies in the last five years. One of our students has secured 165th rank in UPSC Civil Services (Main) Exam 2018.

• The Master of Agribusiness Management program has a specific market niche (wherein the demand has generally outstripped the supply) and owing to a modest batch size, it has been always convenient to place its students in the specific Agro-and allied sectors. In the past, the alumni have been placed in research bodies such as NCAER, NAFED, CMIE, PHD Chamber, CII, FICCI, AARDO and various UN sponsored projects. Have joined many universities and institutes such as IARI, IIMs, GB Pant Institute and other agricultural universities, mostly in the field of agricultural logistics management. Alumni have also joined several NGOs like PRIYA, PRADAN, SEWA and organizations working in the field of rural development, water management, seed,

59

fertilizer, environmental management, micro finance among others. Many students have also moved to overseas in research, teaching and consultancy fields to the USA, Canada, the UK, Germany etc. In addition, many students have also entered PSUs such as IFFCO and Government banks such as SBI, PNB and Private firms and MNCs such as HUL, Birla Zuari, Commodity Exchange of India, HSBC, Jet Airways, Siemens, TCS, IBM, HP, Accenture, Rational Investing, among others. Of late, students are preferring academia over industry as there is a slowdown in the industry worldwide.

Since the basic model of the Faculty was laid down by ICAR , its mission and goal has been to function primarily as a research body and secondly to cater to train manpower required for public and private sector in general and rural and agricultural sector in particular, government research bodies, and NGOs etc. According to current market/industry requirements, the course structures and nomenclature are upgraded regularly, to enhance the employability of the students in various sectors as well as to improve the performance in various PSUs and other national competitive examinations. Recent PG degree nomenclature such as MBA (Agri-Business), M.Tech. Processing and Food Engineering, M.Sc. Home Science (Food and Nutrition, Family Resource Management) etc. are in accordance with current market/industry requirements. In-depth knowledge on the concerned subjects is imparted through Projects and assignments. In addition to teaching and research, students are exposed to various co-curricular and extra-curricular activities for personality development and to develop other skills required by the global job market/organizations. Organization and participation in various subject based activities also help the students in learning managerial abilities and group working. The counselling sessions on the ongoing placement programme of the University/Faculty facilitates the students in becoming aware about the future job avenues in the fields of interest. Emphasis on development of entrepreneurial skill in various subjects is given to motivate the students for self-employment also. As a consequence the skills imparted to the students result in positive impact on the employability of our students.
