Ten scholars from the Nuffield Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, United Kingdom and Canada visited the Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) on Monday as a part of their Global Focus scholarship programme.

After an interaction with the PAU, Director Research, Dr Navtej Singh Bains, the delegates took a tour of the Centre for Communication and International Linkages to get familiarised with the varsitiy’s linkage strategies with the farmers, media and national and international dignitaries.

Delegates were also briefed about PAU’s more than 150 agriculture related publications and farm magazines.

Nuffield scholar, Simon Cook, who is a New Zealand-based Kiwi grower, lauded the reach of the university’s farm literature available for researchers and farmers.

The group was surprised by the frequency of training camps, field days and kisan melas as an endeavour to connect with the farming fraternity.

The delegates later visited the Crop Museum in the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics and the Rural Museum in the College of Home Science.

They also interacted with faculty of the Agri Business Studies before visiting a field demonstration area in the university.
