Eulogies from Visionaries

“ “ “ “I must express my very great

expression of the work conducted at this Institute of

Agricultural Sciences…I never had an idea that the

work of this nature was being done in India.”

Had never come across any other Institution even

abroad which is so efficiently equipped and run.”

The Institute of Agricultural Research is doing valuable

work – and more it develops, the more it would have a work in the history of

modern agriculture.”

It has given me great pleasure to pay visit to the

Institute of Agricultural Sciences…I have been

greatly impressed with the quality of work being done.”

Internship/TrainingAt IAS we believe that for the overall development ofan individual, both in-situ as well as ex-situ training isessential. Hence, to improve upon their skills andgive them exposure to new research, technologiesand functioning of various institutions, we work incollaboration with various agencies/researchinstitutes/private firms so that we can offer ourstudents an edge over the rest of Agri-graduates/postgraduates when it comes to practicalknowledge and work experience.

It also helps expanding the horizon of our studentsand thus they are not limited only up to traditionalagricultural knowledge but also have knowledge inother fields such as fisheries, forestry, plantationcropping, etc. There are several research projectsrunning at BHU being supported by -ICAR, UGC, CSIR, UPCAR, CST, NABARD, World Bankand other national and international agencies towhich students gets exposure from time to time.

About Varanasi “

Varanasi, or Benaras (also known as Kashi) is one of the oldest living cities in the world. Varanasi`s Prominence in Hindu mythology is virtually unrevealed. A major religious hub in India, it is the holiest of the seven sacred cities (Sapta Puri) in Hinduism and Jainism, and played an important role in the development of Buddhism.

Varanasi has been a cultural centre of North India for several thousand years, and is closely associated with the Ganges. Hindus believe that death in the city will bring salvation, making it a major centre for pilgrimage. The city is known worldwide for its Ghats, embankments made in steps of stone slabs along the river bank

where pilgrims perform ritual ablutions. Varanasi lies along National Highway 2, which connects it to Kolkata, Varanasi, and Delhi, and is served by Varanasi Junction railway station and Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport.

Benaras is older than history, older than tradition, older even than legend and looks twice as old as all of them put together”
