A leader in the field of Agricultural Education, the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad (UASD) is among India’s most respected names in Agricultural Education, Research and Extension. The University has jurisdiction over 7 districts of North Karnataka accounting for 28% of geographical area, 27% of total cultivated area and 14% of the irrigated area in the state. Agriculture continues to be the mainstay of the economy with more than 70 percent of the rural population and 50% of total work force dependent on it for livelihood. While Agri startups in India have made a head way, the Agri-startup boom is yet to proliferate in the Northern Karnataka. The area is blessed with the bounty of nature and the region is largely rural, with myriad agricultural and allied production dominating the Agri landscape. Despite several development schemes being launched by the government, largely focusing on the farm and rural sector in the area, there remains a gap.
Focus Areas:- Farm Mechanization, Food Technology, Agri Bio-Tech , IoT, ICT, ML and AI in Agriculture and Agri Fintech
