Akal College of Agriculture (ACA) has been established in the Eternal University, Baru Sahib for providing undergraduate (B.Sc.(Hons.) Agriculture and B.Tech. Food Technology) and postgraduate (M.Sc. and Ph.D.) teaching and research and development in the field of agriculture and allied streams like biotechnology (with specialization in plant, medicinal, environmental and Industrial biotechnology) and Food Technology to ensure food, nutrition and health security to ever increasing population. B.Sc.(Hons.) Agriculture program was started in 2014 with intake capacity of 60 girl students. A number of functional food crops including QPM maize, KTI free soybean, buckwheat, oats, barley, amaranthus, finger millet, linseed and pearl millet have been grown, maintained and analyzed for their nutraceutical potential. About 10 medicinal plants locally distributed are being analyzed for their phytochemical and therapeutic applications. The college organized a National Symposium on “Advances in Biotechnology for Crop

thImprovement” on 12 July 2014 in which more than 250 faculty and students participated from various Universities such as Shoolini University, Jaypee University, PAU Ludhiana, HAU Hisar, Dr YS Parmar UHF Nauni etc.
