Best Practices

The Department of Agricultural Economics has institutionalized several best practices that reflect its commitment to sustainability, experiential learning, and holistic student development. One of the department’s signature practices is its student-led gardening and campus greening initiative, through which learners actively maintain ornamental and kitchen gardens, contributing to environmental stewardship while gaining hands-on exposure to resource management and ecological awareness. These activities are complemented by regular cleanliness drives and waste-to-wealth programmes, where students creatively recycle biodegradable and non-biodegradable materials to promote circularity and responsible consumption. The department consistently encourages green practices such as composting, plantation drives, conservation-focused awareness campaigns, and the use of eco-friendly materials in academic and extension activities. These initiatives not only beautify the departmental premises but also instill critical values of sustainability, discipline, teamwork, and community engagement. By embedding such environmentally responsive practices into its academic culture, the department fosters a sense of ownership and civic responsibility among students, making green consciousness an integral part of their educational experience.
