Steps on how can the farm output be increased, by the use of organic fertilizers, the appropriate crop planting patterns, educating the farmers about the soil health, the ways they can replenish the lost nutrients in the soil. KVK is also involved in generation of the hybrid or genetically modified seed which are diseases / pest resistant and many more benefits for the farmers. KVK also focus on what modern machineries and technologies could be developed for better yielding and better harvesting of crop.
At Centre of Excellence (CoE) In Dairy, Baramati, a walk through was conducted on the plant campus, the demonstration of cattle arriving at the milking station to the exit of the cattle from the station was shown. We were also guided on the flow process of the milk, from milking from the cattle to pasteurization, to the end packing of milk & milk products.
At Indian biodiesel corporation, Baramati, students were introduced to optimization of biodiesel production process from non-edible oilseeds / feed stocks like Jatropha, Karanja castor. The impacts of using biodiesels in conventional CI engines, the scope of research in the field of biodiesel were discussed with students and students were guided on opportunities in this field.
