University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru

University of Agricultural Sciences Bangalore, a premier institution of agricultural education and research in the country, began as a small agricultural research farm in 1899 on 30 acres of land donated by Her Excellency Maharani Kempa Nanjammanni Vani Vilasa Sannidhiyavaru, the Regent of Mysore and appointed Dr. Lehmann, German Scientist to initiate research on soil crop response with a Laboratory in the Directorate of Agriculture. Later under the initiative of the Dewan of Mysore Sir M. Vishweshwaraiah, the Mysore Agriculture Residential School was established in 1913 at Hebbal which offered Licentiate in Agriculture and later offered a diploma programme in agriculture during 1920. The School was upgraded to Agriculture Collegein 1946 which offered four year degree programs in Agriculture. The Government of Mysore headed by Sri. S. Nijalingappa, the then Chief Minister, established the University of Agricultural Sciences on the pattern of Land Grant College system of USA and the University of Agricultural Sciences Act No. 22 was passed in Legislative Assembly in 1963. Dr. Zakir Hussain, the Vice President of India inaugurated the University on 21st August 1964.

    VALUATION OF IRRIGATION INDUCED SOIL DEGRADATION IN TUNGABHADRA PROJECT AREA OF KARNATAKA : AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS

    waterlogging was evaluated for viability using discounted eashllow techniques such as Benefit-Cost Ratio, Net Present Worth and Internal Rate of Return. The subsurface drainage was found to be technically feasible and financially viable as demonstrated by calculated IRR, BCR, and NPW. They opined that in the absence of an appropriate organizational setup, the technology could not be widely adopted. Ajorc and Singh (1997) in their study on reclamation of alkali soils in U.P. identified constraints in adoption of land reclamation technology. Majority of the farmers were not aware of the full package of reclamation technology. Lack of irrigation facilities, fragmented holdings, inadequate supply of gypsum and fear of more recovery on subsidy were major constraints. From the above studies, it can be abstracted that reclamation technology adopted individually by the farmers and reclamation programmes implemented by the government had positive impact on productivity, income and employment. There was substantial increase in gross cropped area. The technology was economically worthwhile as demonstrated by the benefit cost analysis. Most of these studies addressed problems relating to alkali soils. Soil degradation due to salinity and waterlogging have not been dealt adequately
