Department of Agricultural Engineering, Purwanchal Campus

Assoc. Prof. Jawed Alam, HoD, is presenting today the "Mechanization-based Solutions: Perspectives from Nepal" in the regional workshop on "Combating Air Pollution from Biomass Burning through Mechanization Solutions for Integrated Straw Management".

A study tour for a 7-member delegation comprising of representatives of IOE, Department of Agriculture of the Government of Nepal, National Agricultural Research Council of Nepal, and Krishna Dana Udyog (a local enterprise at the pilot site) was organized in India from 19-27 June 2022. The delegation was led by Assoc. Prof. Jawed Alam, Head, Department of Agricultural Engineering, IOE. The objectives of the study tour were to 1) identify suitable agricultural machinery for in-situ straw management for the pilot site; 2) learn about the approaches for reducing straw burning and explore the possibility of technology transfer; 3) learn about machinery testing, and 4) explore the possibility of collaboration.

Orientation program to 22nd batch of Agricultural Engineering. Total 47 students admitted (till now) in this program with record breaking female students (23).
Welcome to this department, you are a member of big family now.

Purwanchal Campus, the partner institute of 'Enabling sustainable and climate-smart agriculture in Nepal through mechanization solutions for integrated management of straw residue (नेपालमा दिगो र जलवायु मैत्री कृषिको लागि यान्त्रीकरणको प्रयोगद्वारा बालिनालीको अवशेष एकीकृत व्यवस्थापन)' project, funded by China-ESCAP Cooperation Program, organized a day 'Awareness and Demonstration Session'. The program's objectives were to demonstrate agri-machineries and be aware of farmers' effects of straw residue burning on biodiversity, soil, and human health. A mini combined harvester for wheat harvesting and a tractor-mounted mulcher was demonstrated.
