Modern crop production is the application of the principles of physical, biological
and social sciences for growing of domesticated plants to meet the diversity of
human needs in a profitable manner. It is a continuous challenge to increase the crop
yields to remain ahead of human population increase. The dynamic process of crop
production is facing the challenge of global climate change now. New potent crop
varieties and technologies must be searched for the survival of ever increasing people
on limited resource base under various climatic conditions. The continuous concern
in crop production is to use optimally the resources necessary for crop production in
a sustainable manner. The sustainable use of resources implies current utilization in an
optimum way saving their productivity for the use of future generations.

forest trees as well as green forages of Azad Jammu & Kashmir. Few funding projects
from various national agencies have been completed by the staff and an HEC project is
in progress to solve the local problems of insects.
The Department started its Post-Graduation, M.Sc. (Hons.) in 2006 and Ph.D
program in 2007. The Department offers undergraduate and Post–Graduate Programmes.
Till now 199 students have graduated as B.Sc. (Hons.) Agri. And 30 students have been
awarded M.Sc. (Hons.) degree. 3 Ph.D scholars have been awarded Ph.D degree. First
Ph.D of University of the Poonch, Rawalakot has been produced from the department
of Entomology and one Ph.D scholar has submitted his Ph.D thesis. At present 8, Ph.D,
10 M.Sc. (Hons.) and 30 B.Sc. (Hons.) students are working for their degrees.
The department is emphasizing on biodiversity integrated pest management (IPM)
programme because of the after effects of pesticides and their residual effects in the
environment. The IPM includes cultural, mechanical and biological control of the
insect pests instead of using the synthetic chemicals which are impairing the human
health and polluting the environment rendering irreversible damage all over the world.

(Hons.) classes in 1998 and so far more than 120 students has completed their M.Sc.
(Hons.)/M.Phil. degrees from this department. In 2004, it has been given a status of full
fledge department. Now Ph.D programme has also been initiated and presently number
of graduate, postgraduate and Ph.D students are perusing their degree programmes
in the department. Presently, there are four Professors, one Associate Professor, three
Lecturers and one Research Associate. Eight research projects have been completed so
far and two mega projects about eleven millions earned by the two Faculty members
(Prof. Dr. M. Jamil Ahmed and Prof. Dr. Maqsood Ahmed) funded by HEC are going
on. Two green houses have been installed under Faculty Development Project, with
ample space for the research activities. One progeny garden of various temperate
fruits has recently been established at new campus in this department. More than 180
research articles in the impact factor, international and HEC recognized journals have
been published so far, are in the credit of faculty members of this department.

Clinical Sciences
The Department of Veterinary Clinical Science was established under the umbrella
of Faculty of Veterinary and Animal Science in the year 2012. Animals and poultry
are kept for milk, meat and also valued for fresh skin, hide, horns, blood and bone
meal. Various diseases affect the health of animals and decrease the production of
animals, therefore, treatment of diseases is essential for maintaining high standard of
animal health and its products. Recent advances and discovery of new technology and
equipment enables diagnosis of disease in animal to be carried out rather easily which
otherwise was impossible in the past. Due to these facts clinical sciences have their
important role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of various animals.

Pathobiology
The department is actively engaged in teaching undergraduate and diploma
courses. The department primarily deals with the teaching and research activities on
various pathogens of veterinary and public health importance. There is great diversity
of pathogens including viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and other parasites which lead
to huge economic losses and public health issues. Proper knowledge of these pathogens
is pre-requisite to control the diseases and to minimize the economic losses in livestock
sector. The department has well established Microbiology laboratory for demonstration
of the undergraduate students. Pathology and Parasitology laboratories are under the
process of development. Recently, Prof. Dr. Zafar Iqbal Chaudhry has been appointed
as professor in the department which has a vast experience of teaching, research and
administration. Surely, his appointment will enhance the quality of teaching and
research activities and hopefully, postgraduate classes will be started in the department
in near future.

educational elements have influenced English language & Literature in the course of
their developments. A detailed study of Classics in Drama, Novel, Prose, Fiction and
Criticism enables the students to understand the basic concepts of Literature. Apart from
literature, there is also a focus on linguistics. An in depth study of sound system, word
formation, syntactic structures and meanings help students to comprehend that what
is language, and how it operates. The emerging fields of linguistics i.e. Sociolinguistics,
Psycholinguistics, Phonetics and Phonology etc. are also included in the scheme of
study. English is a compulsory subject from class nursery to graduation in our education
system and there is a great demand of English teachers. In order to equip our graduates
with the skill of effective teaching, ELT (English language teaching) is highly focused. In
order to develop the research skills in the students, research methodology is also taught.
This course not only helps and enables students to choose thesis as an optional subject
in the fourth semester of masters but also opens a gateway for their higher studies.

Department of Sociology
The social instinct of man is his inborn quality. Therefore, all the social scientists
agree that man is a social animal. It tries to explain why people act as they do. It is an
explanation of human action and interaction that focuses on our social life and as a result
sees humans as being enormously flexible in what they are capable of doing. Its ultimate
purpose remains to understand the social existence of man in society. Sociologists
investigate the structure of group, organization and societies and how people interact
with this context. Since human behaviour is shaped by social factors, the subject matter
of Sociology ranges from the intimate family to the hostile groups, from the division of
labour, race, gender and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture and from
Sociology of work to the sociology of sports. In order to look at human diversity across
space and time, a few courses have been included from the sister science; Anthropology,
which investigate the innumerable design that people have created for social living:
the various ways in which they get food and shelter, organize into families and other
associations, governs themselves, engage in peaceful and bellicose relations with
their neighbours, practice sorcery, worship Gods, or explain the universe. Obviously,
sociology shares these interests with Anthropology.

Internship and Research Projects. Internship during the winter vacations provides an
opportunity to the students to establish a contact with the real professional world in
their respective areas of specialization. During the fourth semester, student submits
a write-up on his/her work experience during the internship. The evaluation is by the
in-charge at their concerned workplace, the internship supervisor, and a senior faculty
member’s of respective area of specialization in viva voce examination. For research
project, each student opts for an independent individual research under the supervision
of a teacher. The supervisor for the research is assigned to the student during the third
semester so that they could start working on topic of common interest well before time.
Evaluation of the research work is done through viva voce examination by a panel
of experts consisting of an external examiner, the supervisor, director, and research
coordinator.

From a different point-of-view, electrical engineers are usually concerned with using
electricity to transmit electric power, while electronic engineers are concerned with
using electricity to process information. The sub-disciplines can overlap, for example
in the growth of power electronics, and the study of behaviour of large electrical grids
under the control of digital computers and electronics.
