The Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding plays a pivotal role in imparting knowledge on the principles of heredity, genetic improvement, and crop development, forming a core component of the B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture programme. The department focuses on understanding genetic variability, inheritance patterns, and modern breeding techniques essential for developing high-yielding, disease-resistant, and climate-resilient crop varieties. Through a blend of theoretical instruction and practical training, students gain skills in crop improvement, hybridization, biotechnology applications, and seed production. The discipline lays the foundation for enhancing agricultural productivity and sustainability, thereby contributing to food and nutritional security, rural development, and national agricultural advancement.
