University of Agricultural Sciences, Mandya

At University of Agricultural Sciences, Mandya (UAS Mandya), we embrace the power of knowledge, regional empowerment, and sustainable farming. Rooted in the rich agricultural legacy of the Old Mysuru region, our university aims to be the catalyst for a new era of innovation and growth in agri-education.

Founded as the historic College of Agriculture at V.C. Farm in 1991, UAS Mandya has been nurturing agricultural talent for over three decades—offering B.Sc. (Agri.), diploma, and extension-focused programs to uplift our rural youth.

In early 2025, the Karnataka State Cabinet formally approved the establishment of the new agricultural university at the V.C. Farm campus—marking a long-awaited step toward regional agricultural advancement. Envisioned on the model of Shivamogga University of Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences, UAS Mandya will unite the College of Agriculture (Mandya), College of Agriculture (Hassan), College of Agriculture (Chamarajanagar), College of Forestry (Ponnampet), and the College of Horticultural Sciences (Mysuru) under its banner. Its jurisdiction will cover the districts of Mysuru, Mandya, Hassan, Chamarajanagar, and Kodagu

Research Interests & Expertise

My work focuses on strengthening agricultural extension systems and enhancing technology dissemination for sustainable farming. I emphasize farmer empowerment through participatory approaches, capacity-building programs, and ICT-based extension tools to bridge the gap between research and practice. My earlier research was mainly focused on Entrepreneurial Behavior and Readiness among Agricultural Students and documentation of Farmers Innovations reflect my interest in behavioral dynamics and grassroots innovations. I have published 15 research papers, 4 book chapters, and 52 popular articles at national and international level contributing significantly to academic and extension platforms. Further, I have presented my research at national and international conferences, including the International Conference on Transforming Agricultural Extension Systems in Sri Lanka. I am actively involved in training, collaborative projects, and outreach activities aimed at promoting technology adoption and developing locally relevant solutions for farming communities.
