Short Training Course on

“Developing Human Resource for Teaching Core Course in Plant Nematology”

(Dec 23, 2013 – Jan 4, 2014)

 The Academy of Agricultural Research and Education Management (AAREM) in collaboration with Department of Nematology, CCSHAU Hisar is organizing a short training course on “Developing Human Resource for Teaching Core Course in Plant Nematology” from December 23, 2013 to January 4, 2014. This course is being offered for the faculty of all State Agricultural Universities, Central Agricultural University, Other universities having Faculty of Agriculture and ICAR Institutes /other institutes engaged in teaching the subject of Nematology.

The subject of Nematology is relatively new. The Fourth Deans’ committee of ICAR has recommended a core course “Introductory Nematology” (1+1 credits), besides elective courses in B. Sc. Ag. /B. Sc. Hort. programmes for all SAUs/CAUs. Most of the SAUs/CAUs have already implemented the new UG curriculum. Out of about 50 SAUs/CAUs/other universities with agriculture faculty (OUsAF), only about 10 have separate Department of Nematology. Among the other SAUs/CAUs/OUsAF, only a few have full-time nematologists who are placed in Entomology or Plant Pathology departments. Majority of Colleges of Agriculture/Horticulture in SAUs do not have trained faculty to teach these courses. Most often teaching of these courses is assigned to entomologists or plant pathologists who feel handicapped for want of sound theoretical background, practical training and non-availability of teaching aids.

Maximum 30 participants will be enrolled in this course.

OBJECTIVES  

• To generate human resource for teaching core/elective courses in Plant Nematology at UG level in those SAUs/CAUs/OUsAF where trained nematologists are not available

• To impart hands-on training to the participants to enable them in handling practical sessions more effectively

• To provide teaching aids for effective and uniform coverage of the course contents
