The joint diploma programme is designed to enhance skill development in crop health management and will include a three-month internship to provide hands-on industry experience.
PJTAU Vice Chancellor Professor Janaiah emphasised that the collaboration will benefit farmers, students, and faculty by integrating applied learning and addressing emerging agricultural challenges.

Professor Janaiah also highlighted PJTSAU’s growing international collaborations, including MoUs with Kansas State University and Western Sydney University, and announced plans to launch short-term skill development programmes for rural youth lasting one to three months.
The MoU signing ceremony was attended by PJTSAU Registrar Dr GE Ch Vidyasagar, NIPHM Registrar Kurra Srinivas, and senior officials from both institutions.
