History
Bangladesh is an agricultural country. Its eastern and southern parts are coastal areas. Natural disasters occur here from time to time. The soil and weather of this area are somewhat unfavorable for agricultural work. In this unfavorable environment, the Department of 'Coastal Agriculture' was launched in this university in 2013 with the aim of developing crop varieties suitable for cultivation, modernizing crop production processes and increasing awareness among local farmers and people about sustainable and improved management in crop production. Later, in 2015, considering the appropriateness, usefulness and compatibility of the name of this department with the name of the degree of other universities, the department was named 'Agriculture'. BSc (Hons.) in Agriculture degree is awarded from this department in line with the course curriculum of agricultural degrees in the country and abroad. At present, there are 14 (fourteen) teachers and 235 (two hundred and thirty-five) students in the Department of Agriculture. There are 1 (one) field laboratory and 2 (two) room laboratories for practical education of departmental students. These laboratories are gradually equipped with modern equipment and research facilities. As part of the course, students of each batch are made to visit various government and private institutions related to agriculture in different semesters. There is a departmental library for the study of students and teachers, whose book collection is about 300 (three hundred).
