Anand Agricultural University (AAU) was established in 2004 at Anand with the support of the Government of Gujarat, Act No.(Guj 5 of 2004) dated April 29, 2004. Caved out of the erstwhile Gujarat Agricultural University (GAU), the dream institution of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Dr. K. M. Munshi, the AAU was set up to provide support to the farming community in three facets namely education, research and extension activities in Agriculture, Horticulture Engineering, product Processing and Home Science. At present there seven Colleges, seventeen Research Centers and six Extension Education Institute working in nine districts of Gujarat namely Ahmedabad, Anand, Dahod, Kheda, Panchmahal, Vadodara, Mahisagar, Botad and Chhotaudepur AAU's activities have expanded to span newer commodity sectors such as soil health card, bio-diesel, medicinal plants apart from the mandatory ones like rice, maize, tobacco, vegetable crops, fruit crops, forage crops, animal breeding, nutrition and dairy products etc. the core of AAU's operating philosophy however, continues to create the partnership between the rural people and committed academic as the basic for sustainable rural development.

    ENERGY AUDIT IN ONION DEHYDRATION PLANT
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2014) ANIL KUMAR; Dr. S. S. Kapdi
    The present global scenario of energy crisis has forced food processing industry to become more energy conscious. With liberalisation of industrial policy, the food processing industry is facing challenges both in terms of quality and plant performance. As operations performed in food processing plants especially in onion processing line are quite energy intensive, the check on energy usage is in priority concern. Engineering services in food plants are considered as the area where simple plant optimization measures can lead to substantial and almost immediate savings. In onion processing line, electricity was the main energy utilized for operation of machineries, such as prime movers, dehumidification system, chilled water system and compressed air system while the thermal energy was used for drying of onion

    STUDY OF CROP WEATHER RELATIONSHIP IN SOYBEAN AND EVALUATION OF CROPGRO-SOYBEAN MODEL UNDER VARYING ENVIRONMENT AT ANAND
    (Anand Agricultural University, Anand, 2006) ANIL KUMAR; Dr. Vyas Pandey
    Soybean (Glycine max. [L] Mirrll.) is one of the leguminous pulse grain and oil seed crops in tropical and sub-tropical regions of India. It, being short duration and thermo-sensitive crop and its response to yield varies with variety and temperature, is successfully raised in kharif as well as in summer where adequate irrigation facilities are available. Since the effect of weather on crop yield is complex, it needs deeper and clear understanding of climatic factors affecting the growth and yield of soybean. A field experiment during the kharif season of the year 2004 was laid out in a split plot design with three dates of sowing (D1, D2 and D3) as a main plot treatment, four levels of spacing (S1, S2, S3 and S4) as sub-plot treatment with four replications. The results obtained during the course of study revealed
