10. Earlier, the students were imparted knowledge within the class rooms using the AV aids. To give a touch and feel of the
technologies/machinery the students were either taken to a laboratory or to the farmers' field/demonstration plots. This was a time
consuming process and was dependant and large number of external factors beyond our control. Moreover the students had the
liberty of only seeing and few only could work with them. To ensure enriched universal learning experience, the Agribusiness Living
Lab was conceived and developed. Keeping in view of the requirement, the centre set up an “Agribusiness Living Lab” in July 2016.
