Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar

Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University popularly known as HAU, is one of Asia's biggest agricultural universities, located at Hisar in the Indian state of Haryana. It is named after India's seventh Prime Minister, Chaudhary Charan Singh. It is a leader in agricultural research in India and contributed significantly to Green Revolution and White Revolution in India in the 1960s and 70s. It has a very large campus and has several research centres throughout the state. It won the Indian Council of Agricultural Research's Award for the Best Institute in 1997. HAU was initially a campus of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. After the formation of Haryana in 1966, it became an autonomous institution on February 2, 1970 through a Presidential Ordinance, later ratified as Haryana and Punjab Agricultural Universities Act, 1970, passed by the Lok Sabha on March 29, 1970. A. L. Fletcher, the first Vice-Chancellor of the university, was instrumental in its initial growth.

    Assessment of plankton diversity and hydro biological parameters at selected sites of Yamuna river
    (CCSHAU, Hisar, 2023-07) Ambrish Singh; Ravikant
    The study was conducted to assess the plankton diversity and hydrobiological parameters at selected sites of Yamuna river. The plankton diversity and hydrobiological parameters were observed from June to November, 2022. The 96 genera of planktons recorded. Out of this 76 genera of phytoplankton recorded belonging to class Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Euglenophyceae, Dianophyceae and 20 genera of zooplankton were recorded belonging to Protozoa, Copepoda, Cladocera, and Rotifera have been identified in all the sampling sites during the study period. Shannon and Weaver diversity index for plankton was reported maximum in Tajewala barrage (1.984) followed by Wazirabad barrage (1.972) and Okhla barrage (1.871). The maximum temperature value recorded during pre-monsoon and minimum in the post-monsoon season was recorded in all the locations. The pH values of water in Tajewala, Wazirabad, and Okhla barrages were recorded from 7.3 to 8.4. The highest electrical conductivity values were observed in the Okhla barrage (1,527.25 μs/cm), followed by the Wazirabad barrage (1,227.75 μs/cm) and the Tajewala barrage (323.75 μs/cm). The DO levels ranged from 5.33 to 6.57 mg/L, 4.13 to 5.25 mg/L, and 1.7 to 3.6 mg/L. Salinity, free carbon dioxide, ammonia, TDS, Bicarbonates, nitrate, nitrite, chloride, calcium and magniseum varied at Tajewala, Wazirabad, and Okhla barrages at different times during the study period. The present investigation shows that the maximum level of presumptive coliform count recorded at Tajewala barrage maximum in November 2022 and lowest in September 2022. At Wazirabad, the barrage was recorded maximum in June and November, months. At Okhla barrage it was maximum recorded in November and lowest in July, August and September. This study revealed that the Tajewala barrage had the highest plankton diversity compared to Wazirabad and Okhla barrages. The water quality parameters measured, including temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, and dissolved oxygen levels, varied across the three barrages, indicating the potential influence of various factors such as industrial and municipal waste disposal and sewerage effluents.
