The department of Farm Power and Machinery has been established in 1982. The post graduate programmes (M. Tech. Agril. Engg.) started from the year 1984-85 in addition to teaching of all courses of B. Tech (Agril Engg) programme. Also, a doctoral programme has been introduced from 2008-09.
The department has unique importance since establishment in Faculty of Agricultural Engineering. The research mainly focuses on the development of low cost farm implements and machineries for the farmers. The department has at its credit more than ten advanced farm machineries and implements developed for mechanization of small farm. Besides research, department is running doctoral and post graduate programme in Farm Power and Machinery to generate personnel who fulfill the industries as well as farmers demand for advanced farming in the region.
