Course outcome

CO 1: Normally history denotes the continuous record of past events, where as heritage indicates the inherited values carried from one generation to other generation. Agricultural heritage denotes the values and traditional practices adopted in ancient India, which are more relevant for present day system. Our heritage is unique than any other civilization. A citizen of India, we feel proud about our parents, language, state and mother tongue, since our country has rich cultural heritage. Likewise, one should be proud of our agriculture as it has lot of inherited sustainable practices passed from one generation to other generation. And also agriculture in India is not an occupation, it is way of life for many Indian populations. Hence the present day generation should be aware the facts about our ancient and traditional agricultural systems and practices.

CO 2: Our agriculture has lot of inherited sustainable practices passed from one generation to other generation. And also agriculture in India is not an occupation; it is a way of life for many Indian populations. Hence the present day generation should be aware about our ancient and traditional agricultural systems and practices. This will enable us to build the future research strategy also.

CO3: India has made tremendous progress in agriculture and its allied fields, but the emphasis on intensive use of inputs without considering their adverse impact of long term basis has created several problems related to sustainability of agriculture. Irrational use of chemical fertilizers, insecticides and exploration of natural resources is threatening the agro eco systems. Soil is getting impoverished, water and air getting polluted and there is an increasing erosion of plant and animal genetic resources. Therefore, attention in now shifting to sustainable form of agriculture.

CO 4: The indigenous technical knowledge (ITK) provides insight into the sustainable agriculture, because these innovations have been carried on from one generation to another as a family technology. There are several examples of valuable traditional technologies in India but unfortunately these small local systems are dying out.

CO 5: It is imperative that we collect, document and analyze these technologies so that the scientific principle/basis behind them could be properly understood. Once this done, it will be

easier for us to further refine and upgrade them by blending them with the modern scientific technology.
