Acharya N G Ranga Agricultural University, Guntur

The Andhra Pradesh Agricultural University (APAU) was established on 12th June 1964 at Hyderabad. The University was formally inaugurated on 20th March 1965 by Late Shri. Lal Bahadur Shastri, the then Hon`ble Prime Minister of India. Another significant milestone was the inauguration of the building programme of the university by Late Smt. Indira Gandhi,the then Hon`ble Prime Minister of India on 23rd June 1966. The University was renamed as Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University on 7th November 1996 in honour and memory of an outstanding parliamentarian Acharya Nayukulu Gogineni Ranga, who rendered remarkable selfless service for the cause of farmers and is regarded as an outstanding educationist, kisan leader and freedom fighter. HISTORICAL MILESTONE Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University (ANGRAU) was established under the name of Andhra Pradesh Agricultural University (APAU) on the 12th of June 1964 through the APAU Act 1963. Later, it was renamed as Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University on the 7th of November, 1996 in honour and memory of the noted Parliamentarian and Kisan Leader, Acharya N. G. Ranga. At the verge of completion of Golden Jubilee Year of the ANGRAU, it has given birth to a new State Agricultural University namely Prof. Jayashankar Telangana State Agricultural University with the bifurcation of the state of Andhra Pradesh as per the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act 2014. The ANGRAU at LAM, Guntur is serving the students and the farmers of 13 districts of new State of Andhra Pradesh with renewed interest and dedication.

June 12th 1964: Andhra Pradesh Agricultural University (APAU) was established at Hyderabad with Shri. O. Pulla Reddi, I.C.S. (Retired) was the first founder Vice-Chancellor of the University... June 1964: Re-affilitation of Colleges of Agriculture and Veterinary Science, Hyderabad (estt. in 1961, affiliated to Osmania University), Agricultural College, Bapatla (estt. in 1945, affiliated to Andhra University), Sri Venkateswara Agricultural College, Tirupati and Andhra Veterinary College, Tirupati (estt. in 1961, affiliated to Sri Venkateswara University)... 20th March 1965: Formal inauguration of APAU by Late Shri. Lal Bahadur Shastri, the then Hon`ble Prime Minister of India... 1964-66: The report of the Second National Education Commission headed by Dr. D.S. Kothari, Chairman of the University Grants Commission stressed the need for establishing at least one Agricultural University in each Indian State... 23, June 1966: Inauguration of the Administrative building of the university by Late Smt. Indira Gandhi, the then Hon`ble Prime Minister of India... July, 1966: Transfer of 41 Agricultural Research Stations, functioning under the Department of Agriculture... May, 1967: Transfer of Four Research Stations of the Animal Husbandry Department... 7th November 1996: Renaming of University as Acharya N. G. Ranga Agricultural University in honour and memory of an outstanding parliamentarian Acharya Nayukulu Gogineni Ranga... 15th July 2005: Establishment of Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University (SVVU) bifurcating ANGRAU by Act 18 of 2005... 26th June 2007: Establishment of Andhra Pradesh Horticultural University (APHU) bifurcating ANGRAU by the Act 30 of 2007... 2nd June 2014 As per the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act 2014, ANGRAU is now... serving the students and the farmers of 13 districts of new State of Andhra Pradesh with renewed interest and dedication...

    ASSOCIATION STUDIES AMONG GRAIN PROPERTIES AND GLYCEMIC INDEX IN RICE (Oryza sativa L.)
    (Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University, 2017) SANTHOSH KUMAR, M; SATYANARAYANA, P.V.
    The present investigation is carried out during kharif 2016 at Andra Pradesh Rice Research Institute and Regional Agriculture Research Station, Maruteru in order to evaluate 36 rice genotypes for yield, quality, texture properties and glycemic index and to study associations among these parameters and to know magnitude of direct and indirect effects of above parameters on G.I. Data were recorded on days to 50% flowering, plant height (cm), number of panicles per plant, panicle length (cm), grain yield per plant (g), test weight (g), kernel length (mm), kernel breadth (mm), L/B ratio, volume expansion ratio, elongation ratio, alkali spreading value, gel consistency (mm), amylose content (%), hardness, resilience and glycemic index. The analysis of variance revealed highly significant differences among the genotypes for all the characters indicating the presence of sufficient genetic variability in the studied material. Estimation of glycemic index showed that there is a lot of variation for the traits among the genotypes studied that ranged from 49.16 to 84.64 with a mean value of 61.36. Among the genotypes MTU-2716 exhibited lowest GI value of 49.16 and MTU1001 exhibited highest GI value of 74.16. There were 8 genotypes which comes under low GI category namely MTU-2716 (49.16), MTU-1061 (49.3), MTU-1140 (49.36), MTU-2077 (49.8), MTU-1184 (50.95), BPT-2270 (51.14), MTU-1075 (54.5) and BPT-5204 (54.79). Study of correlation between grain properties and glycemic index revealed that the glycemic index had significant positive association with the traits viz., grain yield (0.410**, 0.253*), alkali spreading value (0.526**, 0.535**) and gel consistency (0.312**, 0.283**) at both genotypic and phenotypic levels. Further, glycemic index exhibited significant negative correlation with amylose content (-0.346**,-0269*) at both genotypic and phenotypic levels. Path analysis studies revealed that GI had shown positive correlation and direct effect for the characters viz., L/B ratio (0.2281, 0.0145), volume expansion ratio (0.1367, 0.571), alkali spreading value (0.5259, 0.571) and gel consistency (0.3119, 0.3548); similarly negative correlation along with positive direct effects was observed in the characters, namely panicle length (-0.0129, 0.2723), test weight (-0.0609, 0.6307) and hardness (-0.0187, 0.64871). Positive association with negative direct effects as been observed for the characters kernel length (0.0458, -0.2486), plant height (0.0011, -0.7430), grain yield per plant (0.4253,-0.513), where as negative association with negative direct effect was also observed for the characters no of productive tillers per plant (-0.2567, -0.7430), kernel breadth (-0.2025, -0.5879), elongation ratio (-0.1198, -0.6199), amylose content (-0.03457, -0.3083) and resilience (-0.2253, -0.6520). In the present investigation high residual effect (0.699 and 0.689) at both genotypic level and for phenotypic level, indicated that some other factors which have not been considered in the present study need to be included in the analysis to account fully for the variation. The genotypes such as MTU-2716 (49.16), MTU-1061 (49.3), MTU-1140 (49.36), MTU-2077 (49.8), MTU-1184 (50.95), BPT-2270 (51.14), MTU-1075 (54.5) and BPT-5204 (54.79) recorded lower G.I. value. Among these varieties MTU-2716, MTU-1140, MTU-2077, BPT-2270 and BPT-5204 had recorded intermediate desirable values for alkali spreading value, gel consistency and amylose content, and hence posses good quality along with the low glycemic index which are recommended for diabetic patients and people who are looking for better quality with low glycemic index. Hence we are concluding that MTU-2716, MTU-1140, MTU-2077, BPT-2270 and BPT-5204 have low GI along with good quality
