About KRISAT

Krishna College of Agriculture and Technology(KRISAT) has been set with a mission to meet the growing demand for Agro-based food production globally across India and the world using the latest technology in food production.

With the increased demand for well-trained farm scientists to translate the latest technologies into reality in sustainable food, feed, fibre and fuel (biomass) production, we are prominent in budding smart agriculture professionals to meet the current and future food demands.

With India opening its gate to WTO’s GATT and the Prime Minister’s Mission to enhance “Make in India” or the Reserve Bank Governor’s “Make for India” focus, there is an immense opportunity for local marketing within the country as well as export of value-added agricultural products to different countries of the world. For sustainable processing and value addition of farm produce, a number of new agro processing industries have to be developed in rural areas and this requires additional trained agricultural technologist and Agri-business experts.

Thus, Krishna College of Agriculture and Technology(KRISAT) aims at creating agricultural graduates with latest technology and inputs to create Green Revolution all over.

Vision

KRISAT’S vision is to provide technical education and skill development using modern and latest equipment to meet International standards.

We envision a future where India leads the world in agricultural innovation and sustainability. Our commitment is steadfast, aiming to:

  • Empower India's Agricultural Innovation: As an Agriculture Ambassador, we empower our students and stakeholders to contribute meaningfully to the advancement of Agriculture.
  • Preserve the Health of Our Ecosystems: We recognize the intrinsic link between the health of our land, water, air, and soil and the well-being of future generations.
  • Educate Farmers with Innovative Methods: Our methods are not just theoretical; they are tried, tested, and tailored to the unique challenges facing modern Agriculture. These enhance profitability for the local farmers.
  • Foster International Collaboration: Recognizing the value of global exchange and collaboration, through Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU), we actively engage with international institutions to share knowledge, expertise, and best practices.

Mission

KRISAT's mission is to empower Agripreneurs through:

  • Diverse Organic Farming Methods: Tamil Nadu Agricultural University's (TNAU's) curriculum emphasizes hands-on experience in organic farming techniques. From permaculture to agroforestry, we explore a spectrum of farming practices, equipping our students with versatile tools to navigate modern agriculture.
  • Integration of Ancient and Modern Innovations: Drawing from the wisdom of traditional farming practices and leveraging the latest technological advancements, allows us to cater to two fundamental principles: nurturing the health of our planet and safeguarding the prosperity of our farmers
  • Social Media Advocacy: Through informative videos and posts, we leverage the power of social media to spread awareness about sustainable farming practices, bringing a positive change within our farming communities, stakeholders, as well as the public
  • Holistic Development: Beyond technical expertise, we prioritize the holistic development of our students, fostering their leadership skills, communication skills, entrepreneurial spirit, social responsibility, and overall personality development.
