Khairpur College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology

Agriculture is the world’s largest and most important industry, feeding and clothing an ever-growing population of the world.

Modern agriculture is adopting new technologies such as micro irrigation methods, Global Positioning System, water regulation, farm mechanization, laser leveling, Geographic Information System and Remote Sensing.

These technologies support soil salinity assessment, water availability, crop water requirements, pest management, cropped area, crop health and yield estimation.

The latest technologies for sustainable agriculture can be transferred and operated effectively by Agricultural Engineers.

Introduction

Agricultural Engineering

Agricultural Engineering has tremendous potential to improve the quality and lifestyle of common people by increasing viability and profitability of production, post-production and other rural and urban enterprises. It enhances labor productivity, reduces drudgery, improves welfare and supports appropriate health and safety interventions.

Soil and Water Management

Agricultural Engineering contributes to increasing output by reducing pre-production and post-production losses through improved harvesting, handling and processing. Soil and water resources can also be managed through better engineering applications.

About KCAET

Looking into the needs of the people, an Agricultural Engineering College can serve the people of upper Sindh in particular and the entire Sindh in general. The college imparts Agricultural Engineering and technology-based knowledge to the rural masses of Sindh and produces high-quality trained manpower for successful implementation of agro-based developmental programs.

The Khairpur College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology is one of the constituent colleges of Sindh Agriculture University, Tandojam. This is the first college of its kind to cater to the needs of Sindh in Agricultural Engineering aspects. It is established on 23 acres of abandoned land along the old National Highway near IBA Community College, Khairpur Mir’s.

The college was established with the aim of taking a leadership role in the promotion of technological challenges and their management for sustainable agricultural development in Sindh in particular and the country at large through high-quality education, productive research and outreach activities.
