CUSB students participate in paddy sowing event | Patna News – Times of India
Patna: More than 50 students of the Central University of South Bihar (CUSB) participated in a paddy transplantation on the university’s agricultural farm on Thursday. They were celebrating the ‘paddy transplantation festival’ with CUSB vice-chancellor (VC) K N Singh and agriculture department teachers on campus. Addressing the students, the vice-chancellor said students doing a course in agriculture must gain first-hand experience of what they study in classrooms.
“The entire work of paddy cultivation on the CUSB campus would be looked after by these students of the agricultural department,” he said.
He further observed that it is essential that students of agriculture science themselves gain experience in sowing, harvesting and processing crops. “CUSB is striving hard to make the agricultural education practical and meaningful by imparting basic techniques of farming to the scholars,” the VC said.
He called upon the students and faculty members of the agriculture department to work in collaboration with the farmers and try to find practical solutions to the field problems.
