Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar

After independence, development of the rural sector was considered the primary concern of the Government of India. In 1949, with the appointment of the Radhakrishnan University Education Commission, imparting of agricultural education through the setting up of rural universities became the focal point. Later, in 1954 an Indo-American team led by Dr. K.R. Damle, the Vice-President of ICAR, was constituted that arrived at the idea of establishing a Rural University on the land-grant pattern of USA. As a consequence a contract between the Government of India, the Technical Cooperation Mission and some land-grant universities of USA, was signed to promote agricultural education in the country. The US universities included the universities of Tennessee, the Ohio State University, the Kansas State University, The University of Illinois, the Pennsylvania State University and the University of Missouri. The task of assisting Uttar Pradesh in establishing an agricultural university was assigned to the University of Illinois which signed a contract in 1959 to establish an agricultural University in the State. Dean, H.W. Hannah, of the University of Illinois prepared a blueprint for a Rural University to be set up at the Tarai State Farm in the district Nainital, UP. In the initial stage the University of Illinois also offered the services of its scientists and teachers. Thus, in 1960, the first agricultural university of India, UP Agricultural University, came into being by an Act of legislation, UP Act XI-V of 1958. The Act was later amended under UP Universities Re-enactment and Amendment Act 1972 and the University was rechristened as Govind Ballabh Pant University of Agriculture and Technology keeping in view the contributions of Pt. Govind Ballabh Pant, the then Chief Minister of UP. The University was dedicated to the Nation by the first Prime Minister of India Pt Jawaharlal Nehru on 17 November 1960. The G.B. Pant University is a symbol of successful partnership between India and the United States. The establishment of this university brought about a revolution in agricultural education, research and extension. It paved the way for setting up of 31 other agricultural universities in the country.

    An energy efficient mechanism for data collection in wireless sensor network
    (G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2013-07) Tayal, Pranavi; Mandoria, H.L.
    A sensor network is composed of vast number of tiny sensor in a limited area. Each sensor is defined with some energy parameters and the energy based constraints. According to these constraints, as the communication is performed, each participating node loses some amount of energy. Multicast and Broadcast communication are the basic communication requirements of a sensor network. But such kind of communication increases the network traffic extensively as well as gives large amount of energy loss. Data collection provides the solution to this problem by combining the multiple communications in single communication path. Data collection is one of the major communication approach in which multiple sources are sending data to single sink. In this present work, an agent based approach is defined to generate the effective aggregative path so that the network life and communication will be improved. The presented approach is divided in two main stages and both stages are controlled by multiple agents distributed over the network. In the very first stage, the agent will perform the analysis over the network and assign the weightage to each node based under the different parameters. Once the weights are assigned to each node the next work of agent is to generate the aggregative path. This path generation is based on multiple parameters. The parameters considered in this work to generate the effective path are loss rate, response time and the communication delay. The presented research work is about to generate an effective communication path so that the effective communication will be performed. The path generation process is divided in two main stages, first phase is to identify frequency (load) of each node and second to generate path so that load balancing will be improved. Most frequent node here represents the heavy load node over the network. The next work is to calculate the path from source to destination by comparing loads of neighboring nodes and here the current node select that neighbor node which is having low load among list of neighboring nodes and then perform the communication over that node. The presented work is implemented in NS2 environment and obtained results shows that the presented work has improved the network throughput extensively and reduced the network delay and the data loss.
