The project aims to develop resources and mechanisms for supporting infrastructure, faculty, and student advancement and providing means for better governance and management of agricultural universities.
ICAR is now embarking upon an ambitious step in further strengthening the National Agricultural Education system in the country through projects like NAHEP by implementing the CAAST-DFSRDA center.
The CAAST sub-component is primarily to support agricultural universities to establish multi-disciplinary center for teaching, research and extension on critical and emerging topic of agricultural importance.
I am happy to see the new generation bringing the excellence of digital farming solutions to farming society through the NAHEP-CAAST-DFSRDA-VNMKV Project.
The interdisciplinary faculty participation for the development of digital technologies in agriculture will develop new areas for researchers, students, and faculty.
This NAHEP-CAAST center is built to strengthen the present PG and Ph.D. courses in all disciplines by offering three elective course work such as Robotics, Drones, or AGVs.
Our aim is to coordinate the education, research and extension education activities for augmentation of agricultural production.

NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL HIGHER EDUCATION PROJECT(NAHEP) has been formulated by Indian Agricultural Research Institute with a total cost of Rupees 1100 crores ( US$ 165 million ) for five years starting from 2017-18. The project is proposed on 50:50 cost sharing basis between the World Bank and the Government of India, implemented at the Education Division, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. so that a holistic model can be developed to raise the standard of current agriculturaleducation system that provides more jobs and is entrepreneurship oriented and on par with the global agriculture education standards.The mandate of Indian Agricultural Research Institute/DARE includes promotion and coordination of education in agriculture, agro-forestry, animal husbandry, fisheries, home science and allied sciences in the country. Indian Agricultural Research Institute is now embarking upon an ambitious step in further strengthening the National Agricultural.
NAHEP-CAAST-VNMKV center has been formulated by VNMKV with a total cost of Rupees 17.88 crore at the exchange rate of Rs. 66.75 = 1US$ for three years starting from 2019-20 to 2022-23. The project is proposed on 50:50 cost sharing basis between the World Bank and the Government of India, implemented at VNMKV. Overall, the project aims to establish an advanced basic engineering hardware and software setup such as Mechatronics, CAD/CAM/CAE, 3-D Printers and Instrumentation Laboratories for Agribots, Agri-drones and Agri-AGVs., so that a holistic model can be developed to raise the standard of current agricultural education system that provides more jobs and is entrepreneurship oriented and on par with the global agriculture education standards. NAHEP-CAAST-VNMKV is now embarking upon an ambitious step in further strengthening the digital farming solutions for enhancing productivity by robots, drones, and AGV’s; with financial assistance of the World Bank and ICAR investing on infrastructure, competency and commitment of faculty, and attracting talented students to agriculture.
- To establish an advanced basic engineering hardware and software setups such as Mechatronics, CAD/CAM/CAE, 3-D Printers, and Instrumentation Laboratories for Agribots, Agri-drones, and Agri-AGVs.
- To strengthen the present PG and Ph.D. courses in all disciplines by offering three elective course work such as Robotics, Drones or AGVs and also to Certificate courses.
- To develop case studies / Projects of Agribots, Agri-drones, Agri-AGVs applications in agriculture.
- To enhance the skills of faculty and PG students of VNMKV by academic and thematic research.
- To establish the University and Industry interface for students and faculty at national and international level.
