This faculty emerged as a result of bifurcation
of the faculty of Agriculture in 1987. The
restructuring was done to streamline academic
and research activities and to effectively
address the activities for sustainable crop
productivity. Thus, it is committed to academic
excellence in graduate and postgraduate
education and research in a broad spectrum of
disciplines in agriculture. The faculty conducts
diverse programs in education, research and
service for nation and community.
Faculty of Crop Production is the largest faculty
of the University comprising of six departments
e.g. Soil Science, Agronomy, Horticulture, Plant
Breeding & Genetics, Biotechnology, Plant
Physiology & Biochemistry and a recently
established Institute, Food Sciences &
Technology. All the departments and Institute
offer course work leading to the bachelor's and
post-graduate degrees. The faculty imparts
practical training to the students and enriches
its research endeavors through Experimental
Farms (Latif and Malir), Advanced Computer
Lab with internet facilities and from basic
laboratory facilities to highly advanced
equipments. In addition, an Internship Program
has been included in the new scheme of
studies. The teaching staff is highly qualified
and trained through local and overseas training
programs has been a selective choice of
students for learning through out Pakistan. The
faculty, over the time, has trained a large
number of Undergraduate and postgraduate
students in various disciplines of agriculture.
Vision / Mission
The Faculty of Crop Production is committed to
the preparation of students for life in the global
community through research and educational
programs supporting sustainable agriculture
systems that foster viable communities, a
diversified economy, and a healthy
environment.

The Institute of Food Sciences and Technology
was established in April 2007 through the up-
gradation of Food Technology, which was
commenced in the year 1996 and initiated its
academic activities in the year 1998. The
establishment of the Institute of Food Sciences
and Technology brought measurable
enhancements in the level of quality education
and research in food related fields. At present,
the Institute offers four years B.Sc (Hons.)
degree in Food Sciences and Technology and is
imparting educational program similar to all
food technology Departments/Institutes of the
country through a uniform curriculum as per
policy of Higher Education Commission.
Objectives
• To impart quality education to train
manpower in the field of Food Technology
to meet the demand of growers and food
industries.
• To conduct research on various aspects of
Food Sciences and Technology.
• To train rural masses for poverty
alleviation.
• Develop technologies to reduce post
harvest losses of fruits and vegetables.
Facilities
The Institute of Food Sciences & Technology
has established seven hi-tech laboratories viz.
Food Analysis, Post-harvest Technology, Food
Microbiology, New Food Product Development,
Cereal/Bakery Technology and Freezing, Drying
& Dehydration. Each laboratory is equipped
with advanced (e.g. GC-MS, HPLC, AAS) and
common use instrumentation to carry on the
relevant tasks. In addition to this, the Institute
has two walk-in type cold storage units, one
beverage unit; one juice treatment plant and
one canning unit for teaching, research and
conduct of trainings. Other facilities include a
computer laboratory with internet facility and a
well established library where students can
explore their research material and interact
with other world scientists in their relevant
fields. The Institute has established strong
linkages with different food industries such as
National Food Karachi, Wazir Ali Oil Industry,
Hyderabad, Dawn Bread Hyderabad, Pakistan
Beverages Hyderabad, Popular Food Industry
Tando Adam, Candyland and Cadbury Hub for
conduct of mutually agreed trainings, research,
and strengthening of practical capacity of
students and industry personnel. The Institute
also has a strong post graduate program
offering courses and facilities for research up to
Ph.D level.
Scope and Job
Opportunities
In Pakistan, there is a vast potential for food
technology graduates to be self-reliant by
establishing small food units such as bakery
unit, beverage production unit, juices/squash
preparation unit, pickles etc. Apart from small
individual establishment business, there is a
need of food sciences & technology graduates
in different food industries of the country such
as bread baking companies, national food
companies, oil and beverage industries, fruit
processor exporters, government organizations
such as Sindh Horticulture Research Institute
Mirpurkhas, Nuclear Institute of Agriculture,
universities, private and semi government
companies, Banks, Agriculture Research
Institutes, etc.

The Faculty of Agricultural Engineering is one
of the five Faculties of Sindh Agriculture
University Tandojam. Initially it started as
Department of Agricultural Engineering in the
defunct Sindh Agriculture College Tandojam in
1955. The department was then upgraded into a
full-fledged Faculty of Agricultural Engineering
in 1970. Faculty has been a leader in providing
engineering solutions to agricultural problems
and is devoted to meet the needs of citizens of
Sindh in particular and Pakistan in general. The
foremost aim is to take leading role in the
promotion of technological changes and their
management for sustainable agricultural
development in the province of Sindh through
high level education, research and outreach
activities by integrating technology, planning
and management. The dissemination of quality
education, research and training with special
emphasis on interdisciplinary interface among
the technological and educational expertise is
the main focus of the faculty.
At present, the faculty offers a four year B.E
(Agri) degree program. The program provides a
fundamental understanding of the natural,
mathematical and engineering sciences and
their application to design devices and
processes in any general area. A combination of
courses cater to the design and engineering
aspects related to agriculture. The focus span
starts with basic principles of engineering
themes like irrigation systems, soil and water
management, farm machinery, farm structures,
environment, energy and resource management
to ultra modern geographical information
systems (GIS) studies, remote sensing,
electronics and instrumentation applications
related to the agriculture while, M. E, M. Phil,
and Ph.D. degree programs are also offered in
various specialized disciplines including
irrigation and water management, farm
machinery, environment and farm structures.
Besides teaching, the faculty is actively
involved in extension and in leading-edge
research. The regular professional education
and research activities are carried-out in the six
integral departments as under:
• Irrigation and Drainage
• Land and Water Management
• Farm Power and Machinery
•
•
Farm Structures
Energy and Environment
• Basic Engineering
The Faculty of Agricultural Engineering strives
to attain excellence in teaching and research,
where students are urged to excel in
qualification and competency with basic and
applied research as well as technology transfer
and outreach activities including consultancy.
The faculty has highly qualified teaching staff
with well equipped laboratories, workshop
facilities, field experimental area, library,
computer lab, auditorium and a seminar hall.
The passing out graduates are registered with
Pakistan Engineering Council as Professional
Engineers. The B.E (Agri.) degree holders are
eligible to be appointed as Professional
Engineers in BPS-17 and above. They are
capable to undertake any professional
engineering task in Agricultural Engineering.
Mission
49
The mission of the Faculty is to strive for
excellence in education, research, and outreach
in the agricultural sector for sustainable
development. We expand students' knowledge
and skills in Agricultural Engineering by giving
professional and academic training in the areas
of Irrigation & Drainage Engineering, Land &
Water Management, Mechanization & Farm
Machinery, Post- Harvest Technology, Farm
Structures & Environmental Engineering.

disciplines of Agricultural Engineering so
that they can devise strategies to solve
problems related to agriculture sector.
• Formulate basic and applied research to
foster agricultural development.
• Enrich students with fundamental
concepts and principles in agricultural
engineering and relate them to soil, water,
and plant environment.
• Develop students' leadership ability to
work individually and in a group to design
engineering works and complete
development projects.
• Prepare students for employment in the
engineering fields or for continual
professional education and development.
• Initiate and strengthen National and
International linkages and to provide
consultancy services to the public and
private sector.
Job Opportunities
Graduate Engineers holding B. E (Agri.) degree
are registered as Professional Engineers and
are entitled to perform as professional
engineers in any public or private organization
on any job requiring the expertise of an

Department of
IRRIGATION AND
DRAINAGE
The reliable water supplies for irrigated
agriculture are instrumental to feed the growing
population in the developing countries including
Pakistan. However, they are declining with
every passing day; hence their efficient
utilization and management is crucial for
sustainable agriculture. The water resource,
irrigation and drainage engineers are educated
and trained to recognize the complex problems
related to the planning, designing and utilizing
the available water resources. This is only
possible through better water application
methods, conservation techniques, and water
management practices. The government of
Pakistan has been putting efforts to ensure
water supplies for irrigated agriculture,
industry and domestic purposes. During past 60
years, several mega projects were launched in
the fields of irrigation, drainage and water
resources engineering. Keeping in view the
complexity of the water related problems, the
Department of Irrigation and Drainage was
established in 1971 under the umbrella of
Faculty of Agricultural Engineering to produce
young engineers and scientists in this field.
Since then, it has remained as one of the
foremost departments of the faculty that the
