Director Agri Engineering Mr. Mehmood Jan Babar Message

Agriculture land has a vital role in Agriculture sector. It includes all natural resources that we get from air, water and Sun. It is also the basis for many life support systems, through production of biomass that provides food, fodder, fiber, fuel, timber and other biotic materials for human use, either directly or through animal husbandry.

The decrease in agriculture land resource by different means including natural calamities and human activities must be addressed on priority basis and reclamation of cultivable wasteland may be continuoued.

All the Workers of Agricultural Engineering Department have massive responsibility to adopt the five paradigms to cope with the global challenge of food insecurity.

• Add more productive land to minimize the challenges of food insecurity and hunger.
• Advisory work to farmers in technology transfer (persuasive + participatory).
• Effective human resource utilization and development (educational + Trainings).
• Facilitation for availability of irrigation water and
• Empowerment (educational + participatory).
• Use of alternate energy resources to overcome the energy constraints in agriculture processes.

Our province is blessed with favorable environment and land resource for all crops. So it is need to develop strong linkages with producer’s i.e. main stake holders and the agricultural experts and pave the way towards agricultural development on a revolutionary gate way which will lead to fetch highest economical yield.
