PREFACE
India faced food shortage after the independence. In order to achieve food
security the Government of India initiated several programmes in Agriculture with
the assistance of United States of America. The land grant colleges were opened in
India with the objective of Research & Human Resources Development programmes
in the field of agriculture during 1960-70s, resulted in green revolution in the country
and India achieved self sufficiency in food grain production by the end of 1970s.
Further, in 1980s the Government of India gave more emphasis for Horticulture
sector to achieve nutritional security, economical sustainability and generation of
employment. It is a means of diversification into more profitable agriculture through
efficient land use, optimum utilization of natural resources and creating skilled
employment for rural mass. Horticulture has certainly improved the economic status
of our farmers. It has also played a significant role in improving floriculture,
plantation, spices, medicinal and aromatic industry, fruit and vegetable production
and processing, production of quality seed and planting materials, encouraging Hi-
tech Horticulture, contract farming, co-operative farming, participatory approach of
production and marketing, etc. Thus, there is a growing awareness about the
advantages of the Horticultural crop production and this is bound to go up with the
increase in socio-economic status of the people.
The Research and Development programmes in Horticulture have received an
impressive support from the Eighth Five Year Plan onwards. As a result, the research
infrastructure has increased many folds with the setting up of a number of new
institutes, national research centers in several crops, important both from domestic as
well as export point of view. The establishment of educational institutions in the field
of horticulture plays a pivotal role in developing human resource, which would cater
to the needs of horticulture industry.
To address the horticulture problems of the farmers of Karnataka and to
develop the quality human resource in the field of horticulture, the College of
Horticulture, Kolar was established on 27.07.2009 under the University of
Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot. The college offers courses for graduate students
with admission capacity of 60 students annually. The students of this college have
excelled not only in studies but also in co-curricular activities and national level
competitive examinations. The college has been making efforts to improve the
quality of education offered in this direction. The ICAR has introduced the procedure
iii
of accreditation, which would help in extending facilities available and to improve
the quality of education rendered by the college. After accreditation, with the
financial support of ICAR and State Government, the growth and developmental
activities of the college will be improved further to a greater extent. Since the college
is due for accreditation by ICAR the present report provides all the necessary
information about the college activities performed during last five years.
The University level task force and steering committee is gratefully
acknowledged for the help, guidance and suggestions given in preparing the report.

Self Study Report for the COH, Kolar
SELF STUDY REPORT OF COLLEGE OF HORTICULTURE, KOLAR
Historical Development
Karnataka State had earlier only one Agricultural University with its headquarter at
Bengaluru serving the entire state. In 1986 the university was bifurcated to establish another
university with headquarters at Dharwad to strengthen the teaching, research and extension
education activities in Northern Karnataka. Considering the importance of Horticulture,
Government of Karnataka established a new University of Horticultural Sciences at Bagalkot
in 2008, after bifurcation of horticulture education, research and extension from Agriculture
Universities. It is the third Horticulture University of India after Y.S. Parmar Horticulture and
Forestry University at Solan (H.P.) and Andhra Pradesh Horticultural University at West
Godawari (A.P.).
Though the Karnataka state having more potential for development of horticulture, it
has not been developed upto full potential. One of the reasons for this was due to the fact that
the farming community did not receive the requisite impetus by way of availability of trained
horticultural personnel to undertake entrepreneurship and research backed technology. In spite
of having many horticultural institutes in the state, the horticulture development in Karnataka
as a whole found to be not much developed.
The foregoing climate change, scanty rainfall and non-availability of trained man
power in scientific horticulture, for fostering the horticultural development and to uplift the
rural agricultural economy of the state and to contribute for national GDP growth, overall
income and foreign exchange earnings. In this view, the Government of Karnataka has started
the first Horticulture College at Mudigere, Chickmagalore district during the year 1992 under
UAS, Bengaluru, later during 1994 second Horticulture college was started at Arabhavi,
Gokak taluk, Belgaum district under UAS, Dharwad. After 13 years, 3rd Horticulture College
was started at Bidar during 2007 under UAS, Dharwad. Further, looking into the Horticulture
importance and growth, a separate University of Horticultural Sciences and a college was
started at Bagalkot, northern part of Karnataka during 2008. Later, on 27th July 2009, 5th
College of Horticulture, was started at Kolar in eastern dry zone of Karnataka to give more
emphasis on dryland horticulture of the region.

6.5.3. LEARNING RESOURCES
6.5.3.1 COLLEGE LIBRARY
The library is an important unit of the college, which facilitates teaching, research and
extension programmes. The library is located at West corner in the ground floor of the college
building. The faculty and students of the college extensively use the library facilities. The
College of Horticulture, Kolar has therefore given key prominence to the development of the
library facilities such as procurement of text books, books for competitive exams, journals,
periodicals, magazines, daily newspapers and collection of seminar reports, M.Sc. and Ph.D
theses.
In the preceding years, efforts were made to keep abreast of information technology and
to introduce e-modern systems of library management and service. Thus, several journals
that were hither to obtained as “hard copies” have been discontinued in favor of the CD-ROM
versions. Digitalization of library facilitated tremendous improvement in the usage of the
library for reference p u r p o s e s e s p e c i a l l y b y t he post-graduate students, graduate
students and staff. Library is interconnected with LAN to enable internet facility. It is also
physically connected with the computer laboratory of the college.
The University has subscribed as many as online journals for the benefit of students and
staff. A total of 5562 advanced text books are presently available in library.
Library building
At present, library is housed in the college building in an area of 266 m2 comprising
documentation s e c t io n, reference section, reading section, book bank and lending section.
Presently, library has seating capacity of 70 users. The library building is equipped with well-
furnished furniture and CCTV surveillance. Efforts have been made to construct a separate
building for hosting library and also to extend photocopy facility at nominal rate to benefit of
staff and students.
Administration of library
The library is managed b y Assistant Librarian and assisted by two Library Assistants
(One permanent and one contractual) and one Shelf Assistant (Contractual). The library sub-
committee under the chairmanship of the Dean will meet regularly to plan and execute overall
developmental activities of library. The text books and high rated journals are procured based on
recommendations of the concerned Heads of the departments and faculty.

Year-wise usage of library by staff and students

Issue trend of the books
Though concerted efforts are being made to procure the books to keep pace with the
requirements, especially in new emerging areas, due to paucity of funds there has been steady
decline in procurement of periodicals.

CeRA and BioMed databases have been subscribed by the library. Many e-resources
38
which are freely available are linked with the library webpage. Web based current contents
are also subscribed. E-mail and internet facilities to the college library are being provided.
Factors like increasing cost of books and subscription to periodicals coupled with
declining in flow of funds have driven the authorities to give importance to the quality in
acquiring books and reference materials and to go in for subscription to periodicals which are
most essential for the courses offered in the University.

Rural Horticultural Work Experience: RHWE-401 (0+20) during VIIIth Semester

of Degree Programme
Rural Horticultural Work Experience (RHWE) is an important programme activity

introduced to build competence, confidence, expertise and rural experience among the students.
In this programme, the students stay in villages (each attached to a farmer) and work together
with the farmers to closely study their problems, needs and learn to live in rural areas. RHWE
programme covers the study of rural situation, Village settlement pattern, demography, climate,
land utilization pattern, resources inventory, infrastructural facilities, cropping pattern, cropping
systems, extent of adoption of latest technologies, constraints, social participation, extension
contact, etc. It also provides significant hand on experience to gain knowledge, diagnostic skills
and favourable attitude towards the farming.
The rural work experience is basic for developing a graduate's competence in

functioning as an effective teacher/researcher or extension professional in the transfer of
technology to farmers and therefore, this type of practical training and experience of working
with farmers in villages becomes inevitable.
Objectives
1. To develop among the students an understanding of rural community life and different
situations prevailing in villages with special reference to horticulture and agriculture.
2. To help students to get familiarity with the socio-economic conditions of farmers and
their problems with reference to horticultural and agricultural development.
3. To provide an opportunity to students for practical training in crop production and post-
harvest management through work experience.
4. To develop communication skills among students using extension teaching methods in
transfer of technology.
5. To make students to understand the horticultural and agricultural technologies being
followed by farmers and to prepare alternate farm plans to suit to the local situations in
consultation with the farmers.
6. The RHWE Programme is offered during the 8th semester of the degree programme and
its for a period of one semester consisting of 21 weeks with various components.

6.5.4.8 Cultural Centre

Amid current pressures, colleges must focus on giving the best education and creating
a lifelong passion for learning among pupils, with this view in our college we have created a
Science and Cultural Group “BRAIN CAFE” where students can inculcate unity in diversity.
Diversity can refer to respect for varied points of view; new ideas, cultures, religions, and
traditions. By this we can help our students to understand why they hold certain assumptions
or beliefs and help them develop frameworks for seeing the world.
Our college not only ensures academic development of the students but also provides
them with opportunities to prove themselves by means of extra-curricular and co-curricular
activities. Cultural activities prove a valuable lens to view the inner world of students and
thereby enable their holistic development. At our college several opportunities to showcase
79
talent are provided, students are encouraged to participate in Intercollegiate and National level
debate, quiz and cultural events conducted by various Institutions.

6.5.7.4 Employability
During the period of students’ course work they will register for courses like students
READY including ELP (Experiential Learning Programme) and RHWE programme wherein
they will learn practical aspects of commercial horticulture, protected cultivation of high
valued crops and production of bio inputs and formulations and thus they will be made to be
self-confident by earning while learning.
More specifically they are exposed to production of high value horticultural crops and

114
Experiential Learning Programme (ELP)
Experimental learning is a philosophy and methodology in which educators

purposefully engaged with learners in direct experience and focused reflection in order to
increase knowledge, develop skill, entrepreneurship and inculcate values. ELP is for building
skills in project development and execution, decision making individual and team co-
ordination. Carefully calibrated activities move participants to explore and discover their own
potential and in process, provide analytical skills and business acumen. Both activities and
facilitation play a critical role in enhancing team performance. ELP thus, provides the
students an excellent opportunity to develop analytical and entrepreneurial skills, and
knowledge through meaningful hands on experience confidence in their ability to design and
execute project work.
Special infra-structure has been established in the form of green-houses, poly-houses,
nursery facility, post-harvest handling, processing and packing facility. Special emphasis is
given to encourage student to plan and execute new business models in the identified ELP
programme and are assessed based on their economic returns /profits realized during the
programme.
Rural Horticultural Work Experience Programme (RHWEP)
Rural horticultural work experience programme (RHWEP) now included under

students READY (Rural Entrepreneurship Awareness Development Yojana) is allotted with
20 credit hours under which the students are placed in rural environment for 12 weeks to get
first-hand experience and understanding of farming systems and rural life. The prime
objective of this programme is to provide an understanding of rural community, insight into
socio-economic conditions of rural families, work experience in crop production, to develop
communication skills, inculcate required confidence and competence in solving problems
related to horticulture and allied activities. It also provides an opportunity to work with
individuals, groups and communities comprising of farm men, women and youth including
local leaders, local institutions and grass root level functionaries of various development
departments. Precisely, it is an opportunity to practice in rural areas what has been learnt by
the students in the college for a period of three and half years.
After village stay, the students are also deputed for three weeks in different
commercial/ business hubs related to horti-business activities like seed production industries,
115
commercial nurseries, processing industries etc. to understand the commercial environment of

horti-business enterprise.
Impact of ELP & RHWE
During the last five years (2013-14 to 2017-18), 293 students have successfully completed
the undergraduate programme. In the process of conducting various educational activities by
involving farming community, they were able to create awareness, motivate and facilitate
adoption of wide range of technologies in almost all the contact villages. In addition, the
students assisted in establishment of nutritional gardens, tree plantation in individual and
community holdings, soil testing and interpretation of test results, improved plant propagation
techniques, top working in fruit crops, preparation of nursery beds, plant protection, organic
farming, processing and value addition, rodent control campaign, improved methods of
storage of grains and other relevant technologies.
The students gained enough experience by organizing various educational activities

such as group meetings, method demonstrations, and initiation of result demonstrations,
training programmes, campaigns, exhibitions, preparation and use of relevant teaching aids.
The exposure of students to various developmental programmes undertaken by different
departments of the Government has enriched their knowledge in rural development. The
