I completed my post-graduation in 2025 from the Department of Soil and Water Conservation Engineering, ANGRAU. The programme provided a strong foundation through rigorous coursework, practical field training, and continuous faculty guidance, which significantly enhanced my technical skills and confidence. This exposure motivated me to pursue advanced research, and I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. at Professor Jayashankar Telangana Agricultural University (PJTAU), focusing on sustainable soil and water resource management.

– P. Sahithi, Ph.D Scholar, PJTAU

I completed my B.Tech in Agricultural Engineering in 2024 from Vignan’s Foundation for Science, Technology & Research (Deemed to be University). The program offered a solid academic base along with practical field exposure and faculty guidance, which helped build my technical abilities and confidence in areas related to soil and water conservation as well as agricultural sustainability. I am currently in my second year of the M.Tech program at PJTAU and have been awarded the ICAR-PG Scholarship 2024. I have also been selected for the Translational Research Programme in Digital Agriculture at Ag Hub under the SBI ARISA Project for the academic year 2025–2026, further strengthening my research focus and professional skills. Overall, the interdisciplinary training in Agricultural Engineering has equipped me to tackle emerging challenges in agriculture and natural resource management.
