1.1.1 Chancellor stressed the need for grant of adequate financial autonomy to the Universities to free their teaching and research activities from prolonged bureaucratic delays. Pro-Chancellor strongly endorsed the Chancellor‟s view. Financial Advisor (Universities) stated that Faculty-Student Ratio in the State Farm Universities is perhaps the highest in the country and suggested rationalization of available sanctioned teaching and research faculty within different faculties, divisions, departments etc. Chancellor urged the VCs to review the existing deployment of teaching staff for optimum utilization of available assets.

1.1.2 Chancellor emphasized that the Farm Universities should play a key role in developing entrepreneurship in the State by imparting vocational and skill-oriented trainings not only in the field of scientific storage, dehydration, processing, packaging, handling and value addition of the fruits/vegetables, meat and poultry products but also in dairy farming, apiary etc. in the State.

1.1.3 Chancellor expressed concern over the continuous decline in both the quantity and quality of production of saffron in the State. Pro-Chancellor suggested that the Universities should lay Demonstration Plots and extend scientific saffron production in other/new districts, beyond the traditional areas.

1.1.4 Chancellor advised the VCs to undertake urgent surveys and prepare soil fertility maps of areas within their respective jurisdictions. Commissioner/Secretary, Agriculture Production Department, apprised the Council about the Centrally Sponsored Scheme for issuance of Soil Health Cards to the farmers for improving overall productivity in the State. He suggested giving boost to organic farming in the State and promote it as a State Brand.

1.1.5 Chancellor stressed the importance of promoting production of off-season and high value vegetables in the State. He further emphasized that Ladakh, being a disease-free area, can be used for multiplication of high yielding hybrid varieties of vegetables. Pro-Chancellor, while advising diversification in vegetable production, asked for a report from the University based on a survey of the actual quantity of different vegetables produced and exported from the State.

1.1.6 Chancellor advised the VC to ensure completion of auditorium and

hospital in the main campus of the University by the end of March, 2016. He also desired immediate finalization of Annual Report of the University for 2015-16.

1.1.7 Pro-Chancellor advised the Farm Universities to work towards

ensuring food security in the State. VC apprised the council about the University‟s activities in meeting the challenge of over growing demand of food in the coming times like Hybrid Quality Seed production, replacement of regular seeds with High Yielding Varieties, Double Cropping System, Rejuvenation of Senile Orchards, High Density Cropping System etc.

1.1.8 Pro-Chancellor urged both the VCs to extend their activities beyond

the campuses and strengthen efforts to connect university scientists

and students to the actual farmers in the field. He stressed on meaningful and result-oriented dissemination of technologies to make them reach the end users for which Universities have to gear up their extension activities in the mission-mode in all their mandated areas. He observed that the Universities cannot be mere spectators. The research break-through, whatever has been achieved so far, needs to be delivered and demonstrated to the farmers, who are the real practitioners. He further stressed the Farm Universities to be frontrunners in making agriculture more productive and remunerative.

1.1.9 Pro-Chancellor stressed advancement of animal husbandry and

emphasized expansion of scope and potential of poultry and dairy farming in the State. He asked both the Universities to come up with concrete proposals, two from each university, regarding setting up of pilot projects on dairy and poultry farming on scientific lines for encouraging and guiding rural youth for setting such farming ventures.

1.1.10 Pro-Chancellor enquired about the present status of the work being

done by the Research Centre for Residue and Quality Analysis at SKUAST-K. While responding to the query, VC requested release of additional funds of Rs. 98.00 lacs for acquiring high precision equipments for conduct of tests in the laboratory and its subsequent accreditation by the concerned agency. Chancellor and Pro-Chancellor, while further interacting on the issue directed Secretary, Agriculture Production Department, to ensure stringent action against the sale of spurious fertilizers, insecticides and pesticides in the State.

1.1.11 Pro-Chancellor, while stressing reduction of post-harvest losses and promotion of food preservation and food processing industries in the state, wished to see apple juice of Kashmir in every nook and corner of India. He also emphasized out-of-the-box ideas and innovative approaches for increasing easy accessibility of orchardists to the fruit market and mandies for enhanced economic gains.

1.1.12 Pro-Chancellor asked the University to work towards self-sustaining

model for long term survival and appreciated the University‟s initiatives to establish a Centre of Excellence in Horticulture and NABARD Chair and asked VC to speed up the process. He advised VC to suitably review the academic programmes of the University to provide the students increased opportunities for spending more time on practical oriented field work.

1.1.13 Chancellor and Pro-Chancellor emphasized the need for the University to reassess the extension strategies for transfer of latest technologies and varieties produced by it, over a period of time, and advised adoption of villages and putting up demonstrations for popularization and adoption of technologies. Pro-Chancellor further emphasized the need to work in close coordination with the development departments and farmers on the field.

1.1.14 Winter vacations, being availed by the employees of SKUAST-K also came under discussion. Chancellor and Pro-Chancellor advised doing away with this practice as it has adverse effect on many of the mandatory activities of the University. Taking cognizance of the suggestion, the Council decided to put on hold the operation of Winter Vacations Rules of SKUAST-K, with immediate effect.

1.1.15 Commenting on the high yielding varieties of seeds developed/ released by the University, Pro-Chancellor and Minister for Horticulture were of the view that the Farm Universities should establish Demonstration Plots of High Yielding varieties (HYV) of paddy in different Blocks in each district to enable farmers to realize the higher performance and yield potential of these varieties, and enable quicker adoption. He asked the Universities to explore the best areas suitable for seed production and provide profitable concepts for shifting towards commercially viable horticultural crops to the farmers on fast track basis. He further desired the preparation of Joint Agenda by the University, Department of Agriculture and Divisional and District Administrations for area specific improvement in crop productivity.

1.1.16 Minister for Science & Technology and Animal Husbandry underlined the need for making poultry farming more remunerative and cost effective. In this regard, Pro-Chancellor asked VC to prepare a DPR for Poultry and Dairy farming and production of poultry and fish feed by the University and submit it to the Agriculture Production Department.

1.1.17 VC explained the significance of High Density Apple Plantation and its impact on the State‟s economy. Chancellor and Pro-Chancellor appreciated this concept and advised speeding up the process of procurement of the best materials from Europe, after taking all related safeguards, and also asked to undertake the assessment of the actual benefits of „High Density Fruit Farming System in Kashmir Valley‟ by carrying out concurrent evaluation, along with the State Horticulture Department. VC assured all technical support in this regard to the Department.

1.1.18 VC informed that the land identified for establishment of High Altitude Maize Research Station at Sagam (Kokernag), in lieu of the University land handed over to the Golf Course at Pahalgam, is yet to be transferred and handed over to the University. In this context, he also suggested an alternate site at Ganeshpora Horticulture Farm, Anantnag. Pro-Chancellor advised Chief Secretary to urgently sort out this matter.

1.1.19 VC informed the Council that transfer of land for the establishment of KVKs in the districts of Bandipora, Budgam, Kupwara and Shopian are sub-judice on different pretexts in different courts, delaying their establishment and execution of their mandated activities. He requested making available alternate land either from State Agriculture or Horticulture Farms on the Chattisgarh Pattern, for the purpose. Chancellor and Pro-Chancellor agreed to the proposal of transfer of Government Agriculture/Horticulture Farms, in the

1.1.20 VC, while explaining the importance of MBAs in Horticulture sector, proposed the establishment of Master‟s programme in Horticulture Business Management.

1.1.21 VC informed that the University has developed a module for instituting a certificate Course in Landscape Gardening from Spring Session 2016 for which funds to the tune of about Rs.90.00 lacs will be required for infrastructure and other facilities for which a separate proposal shall be submitted to Agriculture Production Department, for funding.
