Dear Friends,

Rich historical background of Bihar is known across the country. Bihar produced famous world Guru like Kautilya in the field of Economics. Gautam and Lord Mahavira for peace and spiritualism. World famous Nalanda University known for its knowledge dissemination and enlightening the people across the globe was also established in Bihar. The best administered kingdom of Chandragupta Maurya was also located on the pious land of Bihar.

Bihar is the richest state across the country owing to its fertile land, abundant good quality water, natural flora, fauna and Agricultural biodiversity. Bihar iks the mine of natural resources and its careful harnessing will lead to Bihar No. 1 for promotion and development of Agriculture, Agro based industries, Efforts should be made to generate competent, capable and efficient human wealth to manage the change in a better way .After the bi8furcation of Bihar, all mine resources have gone to Jharkhand and agriculture has now become the mainstay for more then 65% of its population. Hence, it is the time to gear ourselves with more faster speed and with cutting age te4chnologies. It is and era of networking. Despite, its good agro climatic environment, we stand on second position from down in development chart. Augmented agriculture production, management of human and material resources, establishment of agri-based enterprises are the few basic steps which should be focused emphatically. We are living in a competitive globalize world with WTO conditio9ns. India is emerging as a major player in global trade, and Bihar should also maintain its pace. Technology transmission and knowledge dissemination in right direction are the two key development support systems which should be focused without hurting the 4h (Human Health, Animal Health, Soil health and Environment health).

A multi-disciplinary approach, refinement in our present extension and research linkages and market led extension are the need of hour. Pusa has been the mother land of Agricultural Education, research and it is our prime concern to uphold its glory.
Accountability, transparency, sincerity, punctuality in working with goal set approach with team spirit are few mantras of my dream to bring this University at number one position. For that it is needed to establish a vertical and horizontal marketing chains. Reorientation of farmers scientist relationship is an issue to bne focused. In this endeavour it is of kparamount importance to refine our technologies according to various agro-climatic situations. To enrich the knowledge and information base of the scientists of this university, brain storming sessions on various crop production technologies have been started. Enterpreneurial approach has been focused for the purpose to earn more and to put a hallmark to devastation caused by flood, bamboo planting has emerged as a new str4ategy in this direction, skill orientation in different craftsman ship like bamboo based occupation will be harnessed.
