Horticulture is a branch of agriculture that deals prominently with the study of pomology (study of fruit science), olericulture (study of vegetable science) and floriculture (study of flowers). Horticulture consists of many more domains like Post-harvest management, Genetics and Plant Breeding, Food Technology, Plant Pathology, Entomology, and Soil Science. In other words, it is majorly concerned with the cultivation of plants, fruit, and vegetable crops, their management, farming, marketing (import & export), processing, storage, packaging of the food crops, gardening/landscaping and machinery etc.
This subject empowers us with the basic proficiency of orchard management, landscaping, plant conservation, soil management, and plant propagation. It furnishes us with the fundamental knowledge that how to thrive the best profit through crop production. It is affiliated with HNBGU which is a well-known university that affiliates with many other colleges.
Agriculture has always been the backbone of Indian economy, Horticulture as a branch has always supported it. India is not only the land of spices but also the leading producer of mango, banana, coconut, cashew, papaya, pomegranate, grapes, peas and even cassava, which centuries ago only native Americans produced! We’ve earned a global reputation in this field through our rigorous and perseverent efforts in horticulture.
Horticulture has also generated employment on a large scale and led to substantial increase in farm profitability. Horticulture has also succeeded in helping crops gain higher asthetic values and resist environmental as well as physical pressures.
A major project that ICAR has been working on is to achieve technology led development in horticulture. It has been planning and regulating several research and development programmes at both, national as well as local level to achieve that.
India has been striving for effective management and enhancement in the field of agriculture for ex. by improving technologies to improve breeding, reducing waste and increasing re-use of waste, reducing variability in yield etc.
Being among the top 10 B.Sc horticulture colleges in Dehradun, BFIT leaves no stone unturned to try and incorporate new, efficient technologies and creative endeavours for making its horticulture program *the best * for B.Sc. Horticulture students. This not only makes us the best placement providing college in Dehradun but also the most appropriate place for learning something new.
BFIT Group known for its quality education, imparting knowledge to the students via practicals and conducting seminars by which students get the overall view of the subject. The institute has a motivating environment that encourages intellectual and innovative growth with a vision to build an educational tradition that could tune up with present day. Our study programs pay unique attention to research and assignment for experimental learning and current strategies.
The campus is well conceptualized and planned with utmost focus on offering well equipped laboratories with various horticultural tools and vegetable and other crop seeds. We try to conduct our classes in the fields most of the times, to avoid dated method of teaching as we know that horticulture science is more focused on field practicals. Our students produce their own seeds, they store them and further utilize for next season planting.
Faculty members are equally supportive while performing the field practicals. Renowned professors from various universities have been called for guest lectures on current issues. Poster presentations on emerging topics have also been conducted in every semester, through these ways we are creating a versatile student in the concerned field. The students are given an opportunity to practice on field which has been set up inside the college for horticulture students. We cherish the ideals of offering value-based technical and experimental education that could allow our students to gain empowerment, trouble solving abilities, scientific approach, innovation and studies. Our special consciousness is on student placements, consequently we subject our students to rigorous placement training.
Business and Scope in horticulture are increasing day by day. India being one of the largest exporters of fruits and vegetables highly depends on its horticulturists, making them immensely instrumental for development of this sector.
Various new ventures are making an impact in horticulture in the fruits and flower business with good returns. Phool.co is one such venture is using technology to make an earning out of floral waste. Besides the lucrative organic foods sector, the fruit economy is another happening thing in these prevalent times. So, jump on the bandwagon of B.SC horticulture to reap the fruits of new tides of development in this domain.
