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.

    WATER RESOURCE CONSERVATION PLANNING FOR MICRO-WATERSHED OF DEVANAYAKANAHALLI IN TUMKUR DISTRICT USING GEOSPATIAL TECHNOLOGY
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BANGALORE, 2019-08-07) ANAND GOUDA; RAJASHEKARAPPA, K. S.
    Geospatial technique were used for land and water management action plan for Devanayakanahalli micro-watershed lies between 760 39' 43'' to 760 41' 17'' E longitudes and 130 4' 54'' to 130 6' 29'' N latitudes in Tumkur district, Karnataka. Arc GIS software was used in evaluation of morphological characteristics of the micro-watershed. The present study reveals that drainage pattern was dendritic with trunk order 3. The area, maximum length and width of the micro-watershed are 453 ha, 3.18 km and 1.23 km respectively. The mean value of bifurcation ratio was 2.20, it indicates micro-watershed had suffered less structural disturbance. The value of drainage density 2.30 km km-2 which shows that the region having permeable subsoil material. The value of form factor illustrates micro-watershed was elongated in shape. The study was used to prepare the thematic maps of land use/land cover, soil, slope and drainage using satellite imagery data and Survey of India (SoI) toposheet of micro-watershed and to integrate all the maps under GIS environment to prepare the water resource management plans for micro-watershed. The study will be helpful in identification of sites for construction of different soil and water conservation structures. Thus, the results shows that 38.14 per cent of the total area is ideal for constructing check dam, 20.97 per cent farm pond and 13.40 per cent for percolation pond which helps in sustainable development of the natural resources of the micro-watershed with the proper implementation of the proposed action plans.
