Tamil Nadu Agricultural University
Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) has its genesis as early as 1868 and it is located at Coimbatore. TNAU assumed full responsibilities of Agricultural Education and Research and supporting the State Agricultural Department by delivering research products. The University has 39 Agricultural research stations spread over seven agro-climatic zones of Tamil Nadu with more than 1270 scientists and teaching faculty. The team approach resulted in the outcome of 763 crop varieties, 152 farm implements and more than 1500 management technologies which have been released from time to time for the benefit of farming community. As many as 18 Constituent and 28 Affiliated colleges are involved towards inculcating Agricultural Education in the state. Students from all over India and overseas seek admission for PG and Ph.D studies. The Directorate of Extension Education coordinates the extension activities through 14 Krishi Vigyan Kendras.
About the Directorate
Centre for Plant Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (CPMB&B), TNAU has been one among a few front-runners to initiate “Biotechnology” teaching. The Department of Biotechnology (DBT), Government of India is extending the financial support for the cause of manpower development since 1988. The CPMB&B was established in 1990 to take up research in plants based on cues from the science of Plant Molecular Biology. The centre has state of art facilities to carry out research and training in plant tissue culture, genetic and genome engineering, molecular markers, molecular ecology, Bioprospecting and NGS other Bioinformatics research.
