Need for an Agriculture College in Chengalpattu District :
Chengalpattu district being adjacent to the state capital Chennai district has a huge floating population in addition to the permanent residence of the district. It has got a number of Engineering colleges, Arts and Science colleges and one deemed to be University besides Bharath University. There is a national level institution on ocean technology in this district. Being adjacent to the state capital, the district is the victim of forcible conversion of the agricultural land for industrial and residential purposes. Due to this, the cultivated area is shrinking considerably. There is a pressure on the local farmers to go for continuous cultivation of their limited land not only to generate income but also to meet the food demand of the local population. Due to a high monsoon rainfall, about 70 to 80 per cent of the cultivated lands are always put under mono-cropping like paddy. There is a huge demand for other agricultural produces like vegetables, fruits etc. not only for the local population but also for the urbanites in the state capital. The agriculture activities in the district need special attention due to pressure in land for various expansion programme. Additional technical manpower is needed for the agriculture field in this district.

Social relevance of Agricultural Education :
Chengalpattu district is located at 12o 41’ N and 79o 58’ E and it has an average elevation of about 6 m. The farmers in the district are only adopting the traditional practices of crop cultivation throwing a vast opportunity to introduce newer technologies for crop cultivation in this area. New technologies like SRI for paddy, protected cultivation like polyhouse and green house cultivation, improving the activities of allied farming like fishery, dairying, sheep rearing are need of the hour to better utilize the available agricultural resources in this district besides improving the income of the farmers. Further the agricultural diversity that can be introduced in the district by cultivating more of minor millets, pulses during the non monsoon period and introducing different cropping system, agri horticultural sytem and agro forestry cultivation will ensure the livelihood opportunity of the farmers of this district. All these calls for a technology intervention which can be offered by the agricultural faculty established by Bharath University. The establishment of this faculty will help the students, seeking for higher studies in the local area with agricultural background and provide them technical knowledge which they can use for their entrepreneurship after completion of their degree; therefore the establishment of the faculty in this district is highly justified .
