The formerly College of Agriculture, Medziphema under the North Eastern Hill University, waslater inherited by Nagaland University when it came into being on 6th September 1994 andpresently known as School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development (SASRD). NagalandUniversity has four campuses at present with five Schools of Studies but SASRD is unique dueto its national character as it has students from all parts of the country. The School offersB.Sc.(Ag), M.Sc.(Ag)., B.Voc. and Ph.D. programmes in Agriculture and allied disciplines.

SASRD has been churning out Graduates and Post Graduates capable of meeting new challeng-es facing agriculture, particularly in the state of Nagaland through a multi-pronged approachof addressing the issues of competence enhancement, attracting talented youth to agriculturaleducation, curriculum and delivery mechanism and improving the quality of research. TheSchool also endeavours to address the needs of different stakeholders by making agriculturaleducation relevant, responsive and promoting entrepreneurship skills to enable the studentspassing out to take up their own enterprises as job providers rather than job seekers. We haveStudent Ready Programme to reorient graduates of agriculture and allied subjects for ensuringemployability and developing and articulating their knowledge in agricultural skills, ability andexperience The University administration is doing its best to provide overall infrastructuralfacilities at SASRD in terms of students and faculty amenities pertaining to teaching andlearning which include Hostels, Examination Halls, Placement Cell, modernization of Education-al Farm, Library, etc.

I am happy that most of our students passing out from SASRD are getting excellent placementswithin and outside the country.

This Prospectus is a summary of the programmes offered by the School of Agricultural Sciencesand Rural Development, Medziphema. My good wishes to all the candidates seeking admissionat SASRD for the academic session 2020-21.

Disruptions caused by COVID-19 putting every facet of life out of gear is difficult to gauge. Academic career

of the students is one of the major casualties of the outbreak and spread of the pandemic. With no clear signs

of its abatement at the end of the tunnel the only option left is to go side by side with the conditions set by it.

Academic calendar, no doubt has to adjust, not shelving the interests of thousands and thousands of students

with the trend of it and revamp accordingly the year-long academic programme right from the beginning of

the session. With due care and accommodation to the prevailing situation, the prospectus of School of

Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development (SASRD), Nagaland University, is brought out with the hope that

there will be no supervention of any kind affecting the academic time frame for the session 2020-2021.

Well, School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development (SASRD), NU, endeavours to give the best

possible study experience and practical skills so that students realize their full potential and confidently step

out as competent professionals. The school follows high quality programmes as laid down by the ICAR core

curriculum for the graduate, post graduate and doctoral studies. Practical hands-on-courses through the

Experiential Learning, Agro-Industrial Attachment and Rural Agricultural Work Experience (RAWE) programmes

at the undergraduate level add immensely to the students practical knowledge of the ground reality. This

definitely makes the students more competent to face real life situations and challenges in their chosen

profession. Whereas, the Master and Doctoral research programmes widen the horizon of the students for

further professional development and provide them the opportunity to handle the new prospects and

challenges thrown out by agriculture. While it being so, the teaching and research, public service in the fields

of agriculture education, rural development, etc. focus on the development of students’ communication skills,

critical thinking, ethical judgement, global awareness, and scientific and technological knowledge.

Located on an idyllic spur, SASRD provides the students with an agreeable study environment. The culture of

congeniality and collaboration among faculty, students and staff is another aspect of the distinctive character

of SASRD.

I look forward to welcoming you to SASRD.
