In its journey three minor research projects financed by UGC have been completed by the faculties.
The department carries out extra curriculum activities like preparation Jam jelly commercially to develop self support system among the students. The department also involves in social activities like water and soil testing process from where local cultivators and stockholders are being benefited.
