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
