With the construction of Sukkur Barrage in Sindh Province (1932), the need for education and training in agricultural professions was realized and translated in the form of the establishment of King George-V Institute of Agriculture at Sakrand, District Nawabshah in 1939. Initial 02 year Diploma course was, later converted to a three year B.Sc. degree. The institute was shifted to its present site in 1954 and was named as Sindh Agriculture College Tandojam with specializations in various fields of Agriculture and Animal Sciences.

The college was able to promote agricultural education steadily in the province paving the way for raising the status of the college to the full-fledged university, named as Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam established under the Sindh Assembly Act on 1st March, 1977,with the main objective of providing the qualified manpower in Agriculture , Engineering and Animal and Veterinary Sciences, well equipped with academic as well as problem oriented research and capable enough to extend latest agricultural technology to the doorstep of farmers eventually leading to increased agricultural production.

In addition to this, the Institute has two walk-in type cold storage units, one beverage unit; one juice treatment plant and one canning unit for teaching, research and conduct of trainings. Other facilities include a computer laboratory with internet facility and a well established library where students can explore their research material and interact with other world scientists in their relevant fields. The Institute has established strong

linkages with different food industries such as National Food Karachi, Wazir Ali Oil Industry, Hyderabad, Dawn Bread Hyderabad, Pakistan Beverages Hyderabad, Popular Food Industry Tando Adam, Candyland and Cadbury Hub for conduct of mutually agreed trainings, research, and strengthening of practical capacity of students and industry personnel. The Institute also has a strong post graduate program offering courses and facilities for research up to Ph.D level. Scope and Job Opportunities

In Pakistan, there is a vast potential for food technology graduates to be self-reliant by establishing small food units such as bakery unit, beverage production unit, juices/squash preparation unit, pickles etc. Apart from small individual establishment business, there is a need of food sciences & technology graduates in different food industries of the country such as bread baking companies, national food companies, oil and beverage industries, fruit processor exporters, government organizations such as Sindh Horticulture Research Institute Mirpurkhas, Nuclear Institute of Agriculture, universities, private and semi government companies, Banks, Agriculture Research Institutes, etc.

Department of PLANT PROTECTION The Department of Plant Protection was established in 1977 with the advent of Sindh Agriculture University, Tando Jam. It is one of the most important disciplines of agriculture with a mission to develop and undertake educational and research programs that foster the creation and adoption of agricultural plant protection systems that are profitable, environmentally sound and sustainable. The department imparts training / education in community IPM through the Farmer Field School (FFS) approach. Through its qualified graduates, it plays a pivotal role in providing technical backup / support to agricultural research and extension systems.

The Department offers B.Sc. (Hons.) in Plant Protection. In addition, it has a very strong postgraduate program offering M.Sc. (Hons.) and Ph.D. degrees in Plant Protection. The academic programs are designed to equip the students with new techniques and principles of crop protection in order to improve crop management to be translated in a socially viable, competitive and profitable agriculture for the farmers. The practical trainings emphasize identification of agriculturally useful natural enemies (insects, micro-organisms) and mass production of biological control

agents for field crops. The department aims to introduce organic farming in order to rationalize the use of pesticides to conserve the environment, irrigation, soil and health hazards.

Job Opportunities

Graduates from this department can find employment in Academic, Provincial as well as Federal Government sectors including Department of Plant Protection / Plant Quarantine. Extension, Research, PARC, PAEC (NIAB, NIBGE, NIFA, NIA,) SUPARCO, PCCC, Pakistan Science Foundation, Banks, NGOs working in Agriculture and Rural development and, Private Pesticide Companies etc.)

Department of LAND AND WATER MANAGEMENT Soil and Water are the most important natural resources for the sustainability of human and environmental system. But unfortunately, they are being used unwisely resulting in threat to the sustainability of agriculture and environment. So far, in Pakistan enormous sums of money are spent on the planning, design, construction and maintenance of farm irrigation systems but many failed to meet the planned agricultural and social objectives. It has now been recognized that one of the principle reasons for this is the lack of human resources with the proper technical and managerial skills needed to operate and manage the schemes successfully. Keeping in view the importance of technical education in Land and Water Resources Management, Department of Land and Water Management was established in December 1985 in the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering in order to produce graduates with technical expertise in the field of Land and Water Management. The department educates the students through wide range of subjects and researches in order to enhance the productivity of land and water resources so as to meet future demands of food and fiber. In addition, the department also provides trainings and advisory service to the farming community of the country. The department plays a leading role in imparting

quality education in the field of soil and water conservation and management. The mission of the department is to produce highly motivated and talented professional engineers with expertise in the field of Soil and Water Resources Conservation and Management. The department has well equipped lab with latest equipments of land survey and leveling, soil and water testing, and watercourse design and construction.

Department of FARM STRUCTURES The department of Farm structures was established in 1977 and is comprised on the three main sections, i.e. Farm Structures, Agricultural Process Engineering and Rural Electrification. All the three sections of the department are major contributing sections, offering graduate (B.E) and postgraduate (M.E & Ph.D) courses together. There are well qualified staff members capable to serve the purpose separately for Processing, Structures and Electrification. There are two Masters and one Ph.D. teacher working hard for facing the 21st century challenges. As the technology is advancing day by day, hence further extension is needed in the department. The department has submitted projects on structure, post harvest and processing to address the issues of the rural areas including with a project on short trainings.

Department of VETERINARY MEDICINE The main goal of the degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.) is to train students in order to understand the animal diseases in terms of their etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control. All the preclinical subjects lay foundation for the proper learning of applied sciences, of which, Veterinary medicine is the most important discipline. This is because, in the prevailing conditions of our country, a qualified veterinarian, in his practical life, deals mostly with the diagnosis and treatment of animal diseases. Thus in practice at least 90

percent of professional recognition of a Veterinarian requires knowledge and skills related to veterinary Medicine

The main focus of the department is to produce highly professional veterinarians and postgraduates, capable enough to deal with animal diseases in terms of their etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control.
