Therefore, as a part of the agricultural extension activities workshops, training programs, etc, are organized to extend service and knowledge to the farmers.

I am fortunate to be a part of this prestigious COA family which has consistently guided me in my efforts to elevate the success of the College. The diligent faculty, staff of the College and students are the pillars of our success story. I hope to carry forward the rich tradition of the College by being an administrator who facilitates the progress and development of the College.
