PREFACE
Horticulture is an important component of Indian Agriculture contributing to food and
nutritional security. The Share of horticulture in total GDP from agriculture has increased to 29.5
per cent in last two decades. Soon after the independence India faced the challenge of
providing food security to millions of its people. The R & D initiatives taken by the
Government of India resulted in the ‘Green revolution’ in the late 60s and early 70s. As
a result of ‘Green revolution’, India has made significant achievement by producing 275
million tons of food grains and gained self-sufficiency. But considering the nutritional
security, economic sustainability and high generation of employment, Horticulture
sector plays important role. Hence, it was only in mid-80s that the Government of India
recognized Horticulture sector. It is a means of diversification for making agriculture
more profitable through efficient land use, optimum utilization of natural resources and
creating skilled employment for rural masses. Horticulture has significantly improved
the economic status of our farmers. Presently horticulture production has crossed 300
million tons mark. There is significant improvement in floriculture, plantation, spices,
medicinal, aromatic industry, fruit and vegetable production and processing, production
of quality seed and planting materials, encouraging hi-tech horticulture, precession
farming, contract farming, cooperative farming, participatory approach of production
and marketing, etc. Thus, there is a growing awareness about the advantages of the
horticultural crop production and this is bound to go up with the increase in socio-
economic status of the people.
From the Eighth Five Year Plan onwards horticulture sector gained importance.
As a result, the research infrastructure has increased manifold with the setting up of a
number of new institutes, national research centers in several crops and it is important
both from domestic as well as export point of view. The establishment of educational
institutions in the field of horticulture plays a pivotal role in developing skilled human
resource, which would cater to the needs of horticulture industry and also effective
utilization of inputs for production process. It provides employment opportunities
throw-out the year. To cater to the horticulture needs of the farmers of northern eastern
Karnataka and to develop the quality human resource in the field of horticulture, the
College of Horticulture, Bidar was established during September, 2007 under the
University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad and presently, it is functioning under the
University of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot. The college offers undergraduate
courses. The college has the admission capacity of about 65 students annually for
ii
undergraduate programme including ICAR quota students. The students of this college
have excelled not only in study but also in extra-curricular activities and besides, in
national level competitive examinations. The college has been making efforts to
improve the quality of education offered in this direction. The ICAR has introduced the
procedure of accreditation, which would help in assessing facilities available and to
improve quality of education offered by the college. Since the college has completed
two terms of accreditation and it is accredited up to March 2019, the present self-study
report is prepared for the next term of accreditation by providing all the necessary
information about the college activities performed during last five years.
The University Level Task Force and Steering Committee have also been
gratefully acknowledged for their help, guidance and suggestions given in preparing the
report. The college level Steering Committee and Task Force have done a great job in
compiling information and bringing out this report to be submitted to Accreditation
Board of ICAR. My heartfelt thanks to all the faculty who are involved in preparation of
this report.

Self Study Report for the COH, Bidar
6.5. SELF STUDY REPORT OF COLLEGE OF HORTICULTURE, BIDAR

The College of Horticulture, Bidar presently working under the jurisdiction of University
of Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot was established during the year 2007 in Bidar district of
Karnataka by the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad. The college is located at
Halladkeri Farm, Hyderabad Road, Bidar.
Historical Development
Karnataka State had the only Agricultural University with headquarter at Bengaluru
serving the entire state before 1986 with all disciplines and allied subjects. The university was
bifurcated with the establishment of another university with headquarters at Dharwad to
strengthen the teaching, research and extension education activities in the Northern Karnataka
region. Considering the importance of horticulture, in 2008, the Government of Karnataka
bifurcated Horticulture from Agriculture Universities and established a new University of
Horticultural Sciences at Bagalkot. It is the third Horticulture University of India {after
Y.S.Parmar Horticulture and Forestry University at Solan (H.P.) and Andhra Pradesh
Horticultural University at West Godawari (A.P.)}.
In spite of having unlimited potential for development of horticulture, north Karnataka
has remained under-developed since a long time. One of the reasons for this situation was due to
the fact that the farming community did not receive the requisite impetus by way of availability
of trained horticultural personnel to undertake entrepreneurship and research backed
technologies. In justification of this, the example of southern part of Karnataka could be quoted,
where the horticultural awareness is quite noteworthy which is mainly attributed to the existence
of several Central Research Institutes, such as IIHR, Bengaluru; Central Horticultural
Experimental Station (IIHR) Chettalli, Kodagu district; Cardamom Research Centre (IISR),
Appangala in Kodagu district; Arecanut Research Station (CPCRI), Vittla, Dakshina Kannada;
Directorate of Cashew Research at Puttur; Central Institute for Medicinal and Aromatic Plants
(CIMAP) at Bengaluru and Central Coffee Research Institute at Balehonnur, Chikkamagaluru
district. These institutes have provided the base for creating awareness to the farming
community. The total absence of such institutes has therefore been a major factor for lack of
development of horticulture in north Karnataka.
The foregoing situation brings out the urgent need for fostering the horticultural
development. Production of trained personnel would go a long way in creating awareness among
the people. Suitable man power development for managing the projects in either private or public
sector and to tackle the problems in horticulture crop production through research and
dissemination of technologies to the farmers is of utmost importance.
1
Considering the importance of horticulture with respect to nutrition, scope of

employment, contribution to national GDP growth and over all income and foreign exchange
earnings Government of Karnataka has started the first Horticulture College, at Mudigere, Tq.
and Dist. Chikkamagalore under UAS, Bangalore and Second Horticulture college, at Arabhavi,
Tq. Gokak and Dist. Belgaum under UAS, Dharwad. As on 2007, there were only 2 horticulture
Colleges in Karnataka State. In the back drop of backward nature of the region as evidenced by
the implementation of Article 371(J) for development of Hyderabad Karnataka region,
Government of Karnataka has sanctioned the third Horticulture College, at Bidar during Sept
2007 by allotting a budget of 6 crores. This college was started under UAS, Dharwad by allotting
intake capacity for 25 students. Subsequently, realizing the importance of Horticulture, the State
Government of Karnataka bifurcated, Horticulture from UAS, Bengaluru and UAS, Dharwad
and established a separate Horticulture University and named it as University of Horticultural
Sciences, Bagalkot during 2008.

The College was started during Sept 2007 with an annual intake allotment of only 25
students to the first year of B.Sc. (Horticulture) degree programme. Though, space was a
limiting factor at that time, all the requirements were housed in a planned manner by providing
comfort and study atmosphere to students. A separate hostel accommodation facility was created
for girl students since inception of the College. Subsequently, two new class rooms, laboratories
and playground facilities were provided. The college had well established farm office and store,
bullock sheds, etc. Subsequently, when first batch students entered third year, the college was
shifted to a private rented building in outskirts of Bidar city.
During 2009 itself, a state Department Horticulture farm by name “Horticultural Farm,
Halladakeri” was taken over for establishing the horticulture College with the permission of
Government of Karnataka,. This farm is just in the periphery of Bidar city. All the infrastructural
facilities (college building, boys hostel and girls hostel, library, laboratories, playground,
hospital, Gym room, TV room, mess, staff quarters, well equipped farm office with tractors,
bullocks, drying yard, nursery and other farm equipments etc.) have been established and during
2013, the new building was inaugurated.
This Halladkeri farm is well developed by establishing orchards of important

horticultural crops like mango, sapota, cashew, lime, guava, fig, jamoon, custard apple, jackfruit,
tamarind, curry leaf, medicinal aromatic crops, minor fruits, etc., required for teaching and
research. Green houses, shade net houses are also erected and being utilized for growing high
value crops like tomato, capsicum, cucumber, etc. In nursery improved varieties of mango,

6.5.3.3. Student READY / In-Plant Training / Internship / Experiential Learning

Programmes
Experiential Learning Programmes HEL - 401 (0+20) offered during VIIth Semester
of Degree Programme
Experimental learning is a philosophy and methodology in which educators purposefully
engaged with learners in direct experience and focused reflection in order to increase knowledge,
develop skill, entrepreneurship and inculcate values. The word “Experiential” essentially means
that learning and development are achieved through personal involvement and experience,
typically in group, by observation, listening, study of theory or hypothesis, rather than on
received teaching or training. Student READY program component ELH is for building skills in
project development and execution, decision making and individual and team co-ordination. It is
for approach to problem solving, accounting, quality control, marketing and resolving conflicts
etc. The programme has end to end approach. Carefully calibrated activities move participants to
explore and discover their own potential and in process, provide analytical skills and business
acumen. Both activities and facilitation play a critical role in enhancing team performance.
Hence, ELH provides the students an excellent opportunity to develop analytical and
entrepreneurial skills and knowledge through meaningful hands on experience with confidence
in their ability to design and execute project work.
Commercial horticulture has been of recent origin though the traditional flower
cultivation has been going on for centuries. Emphasis has been shifting from agriculture to
horticulture for increasing returns per unit area and time. The liberalization of economy has
given impetus to the Indian entrepreneurs for establishing export oriented horticulture produce.
It was in this personal that new innovations will be attempted in propagation of
Horticulture and flowering plants. In order to boost up the quality nursery stock production, there
is a need to develop a small nursery of Horticulture plants in this zone.
The ELH programme is a twenty credits course offered for 180 days period in the final
year without a break. To get the eligibility for registering the ELH programme, the students
should have completed the courses successfully. No student will be allowed to take up the ELH
programme with any backlog courses resulted due to shortage of attendance.

Rural Horticultural Work Experience RHWE-401 (0+20) During VIIIth Semester of

Degree Programme
Rural Horticultural Work Experience (RHWE) is an important programme activity
introduced to build competence, confidence, expertise and rural experience among the students.
In this programme, the students stay in villages and work together with the farmers to closely
(each attached to a farmer)study their problems, needs and learn to live in rural areas. RHWE
programme covers the study of rural situation, Village settlement pattern, demography, climate,
land utilization pattern, resources inventory, infrastructural facilities, cropping pattern, cropping
systems, extent of adoption of latest technologies, constraints, social participation, extension
contact, etc. It also provides significant hand on experience to gain knowledge, diagnostic skills
and favourable attitude towards the farming.
The rural work experience is basic for developing a graduate's competence in functioning
as an effective teacher/researcher or extension professional in the transfer of technology to
farmers and therefore, this type of practical training and experience of working with farmers in
villages becomes inevitable.
Objectives
1. To develop among the students an understanding of rural community life and different
situations prevailing in villages with special reference to horticulture and agriculture.
2. To help students to get familiarity with the socio-economic conditions of farmers and their
problems with reference to horticultural and agricultural development.
3. To provide an opportunity to students for practical training in crop production and post-
harvest management through work experience.
4. To develop communication skills among students using extension teaching methods in
transfer of technology.
5. To make students to understand the horticultural and agricultural technologies being
followed by farmers and to prepare alternate farm plans to suit to the local situations in
consultation with the farmers.

6.5.7.4. Employability
College has established a special incubation centers for carrier guidance and personality
development programme which is aimed at increasing employability of the students. These
centers regularly conduct special guest lectures in soft skill viz. English communication skills,
reasoning, group discussions, interview skills, quantitative ability, verbal ability and mental
ability to students in association with various coaching institute present in Bidar and Hyderabad
(FABS, Hyderabad, AFMI Mysore, Jyothi Bank coaching institute, Bidar). During the period of
students’ course work they will register for courses like students READY including ELP
(Experiential Learning Programme) and RHWE programme wherein they will learn practical
aspects of commercial horticulture, protected cultivation of high valued crops, seed production
of horticultural crops, processing of fruits and vegetables and production of bio inputs and
formulations and thus they will be self-confident by earning while learning.
More specifically they are exposed to production of high value horticultural crops and
gaining knowledge about strategies of marketing etc. The students will be taught to initiate their
own entrepreneurship and become self-employer in addition to the government jobs.
Faculty also encouraging students to appear for various competitive exams like IBPS,
GATE, GRE, TOFFEL and MANAGE. Three students from college of Horticulture, Bidar have
cleared TOFFEL and doing their PG/MS in abroad and 8 students have cleared IBPS exam and
are presently working in different banks across the country.
Experiential Learning Programme (ELP)

Experimental learning is a philosophy and methodology in which educators purposefully
engaged with learners in direct experience and focused reflection in order to increase knowledge,
develop skill, entrepreneurship and inculcate values. ELP is for building skills in project
development and execution, decision making individual and team co-ordination. Carefully
calibrated activities move participants to explore and discover their own potential and in process,
provide analytical skills and business acumen. Both activities and facilitation play a critical role
in enhancing team performance. ELP thus, provides the students an excellent opportunity to
develop analytical and entrepreneurial skills, and knowledge through meaningful hands on
experience confidence in their ability to design and execute project work.
Special infra-structure has been established in the form of green-houses, poly-houses,
nursery facility, post-harvest handling, processing and packing facility. Special emphasis is
given to encourage student to plan and execute new business models in the identified ELP
programme and are assessed based on their economic returns /profits realized during the
programme.
119
Rural Horticultural Work Experience Programme (RHWEP)

Rural horticultural work experience programme (RHWEP) now included under students
READY (Rural Entrepreneurship Awareness Development Yojana) is allotted with 20 credit
hours under which the students are placed in rural environment for 12 weeks to get first-hand
experience and understanding of farming systems and rural life. The prime objective of this
programme is to provide an understanding of rural community, insight into socio-economic
conditions of rural families, work experience in crop production, to develop communication
skills, inculcate required confidence and competence in solving problems related to horticulture
and allied activities. It also provides an opportunity to work with individuals, groups and
communities comprising of farm men, women and youth including local leaders, local
institutions and grass root level functionaries of various development departments. Precisely, it is
an opportunity to practice in rural areas what has been learnt by the students in the college for a
period of three and half years.
After village stay, the students are also deputed for three weeks in different commercial/
business hubs related to horti-business activities like seed production industries, commercial
nurseries, processing industries etc. to understand the commercial environment of horti-business
enterprise.
Impact of ELP & RHWE

During the last five years (2013-14 to 2017-18) 233 students have successfully completed
the graduate degree programme. In the process of conducting various educational activities by
involving farming community, they were able to create awareness, motivate and facilitate
adoption of wide range of technologies in almost all the contact villages. In addition, the students
assisted in establishment of nutritional gardens, tree plantation in individual and community
holdings, soil testing and interpretation of test results, improved plant propagation techniques,
top working in fruit crops, preparation of nursery beds, plant protection, organic farming,
processing and value addition, rodent control campaign, improved methods of storage of grains
and other relevant technologies. Few students after completion of their degree program have
become entrepreneurs.
The students gained enough experience by organizing various educational activities such
as group meetings, method demonstrations, and initiation of result demonstrations, training
programmes, campaigns, exhibitions, preparation and use of relevant teaching aids. The
exposure of students to various developmental programmes undertaken by different departments
of the Government has enriched their knowledge in rural development. The feedback analysis
revealed that the farmers benefit from such programmes.
