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.

    PERFORMANCE OF CANAL IRRIGATION SYSTEM IN TUNGABHADRA PROJECT - AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, DHARWAD, 1997) L B, HUGAR; K N, RANGANATHA SASTRY
    The performance of the canal irrigation system was evaluated at system level as well as at different regions (Head, Middle and Tail) of the Left Bank Low Level Canal (LBLLC) system during the year 1993-94. The estimated water budget revealed that the supply of water resource was less than (22.89%) it's demand in the command area as a whole as per the existing area and water use level. The voilation of localised cropping pattern especially in paddy both in kharif (132.11%) and rabi summer season (entire area of 27,348 hectares) coupled with higher levels of water use (27% to 34%) have contributed for wide gap in supply and demand for water. Further, the distribution of water was not only unequal over the regions but also varied from fafmer to farmer. Similarly, the reliability and timeliness of water supply was not ensured especially fit tail region. In the case of cost and productivity of water, it was found profitable to invest in irrigation systems since the net returns per unit of water supply were at higher levels inspite of the increasing trend of cost on water distri­bution. Though irrigated water was found to be fairly stable over the years, it varied substantially at tail regions. The rise in the depth of groundwater table and increase in the extent of salt affected soils may affect the stability in the irrigated area in the coming years. The projections indicated that by 2047 A.D. the whole command area would be under water logging with complete salt affected soils. The fee collection performance, maintenance efficiency and performance of the existing organisational structure was observed to be poor. The increase in the distance of location of farm and the number of farmers intervening have resulted in decrease in the extent of water supply at farm level. The )turn ('vant') system of rotational water distribution by ensuring fairly adequate supply of water with moderate use of water and other inputs, was found superior over other systems

    ECONOMIC EVALUATION OF WATERSHED DEVELOPMENT A CASE STUDY OF KUTHANAGERE MICRO-WATERSHED IN KARNATAKA
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK BANGALORE, 1998-12-16) ARUN KUMAR, Y.S.; ARUN KUMAR, Y.S.; VENKATARAM, Dr. J.V.; VENKATARAM, Dr. J.V.
    Land degradation has been the bane of ralnfed agriculture, in India. An integrated area approach to land development on watershed basis has been initiated in the country to tackle dryland problems with Karnataka taking the lead. This study is an attempt at the economic evaluation of watershed development. The Kuthanagere micro-watershed with a total dryland area of 196.1 ha developed during 1993-94 by Kalyanakere-Mavathurkere watershed development project, Bangalore (Rural) district was purposively selected for the study. The primary data were collected for the crop year 1996-97 from all 59 farmers in the micro-catchment. A similar number of farmers from non-watershed area was also' selected for comparison. Watershed development had brought about an apreciable change in landuse pattern by introducing land capability based alternative systems like silvi-pasture, silvihorti- pasture, horti-pasture gnd agri-horti that lay greater emphasis on tree components. A change could also be noticed in the cropping pattern with redgram being popularised as inter-crop with ragi and groundnut.The yield of major crops were higher by 35 to 40 per cent and net returns by 60 to 133 per cent in watershed area Indicating complementarity. Watershed development programme had resulted in the generatjpn of additional direct and indirect employment. Watershed development proved to be an economically viable proposition yielding 25 per cent Internal Rate of Return and Net Present worth of Rs. 19,000 per ha. Agro-forestry, agri-horti and hortipasture systems wise found to yield higher returns than other landuse systems. Better involvement of benefitiaries in planning, implementation, choice of perenial species and post-project maintainance goes a long way in strengthening and sustaining the watershed development programme.
