For enhancing quality of education, the universities should focus on 4Ts. viz., tradition, technology, talent and trading,” said ICAR Delhi Deputy Director General of Education Dr Narendra Singh Rathore at a two-day Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT) 8th Educational Council meeting here on Monday.

For producing agricultural graduates as future innovative leaders, the OUAT would focus on ensuring proper delivery of knowledge, skills, and experiences coupled with improved ability of the graduates to serve the future India, he added.

OUAT Vice-Chancellor Prof Surendranath Pasupalak emphasised on the reform process with regard to programmes and approaches initiated in the university. Redesigning the education system for producing agricultural graduates as future innovative leaders for profession institutions, industry and society is the focus of the university, he added.

A book entitled “Food Retail Management” written by OUAT Department of Agribusiness Management Professor and Head Dr S Mohapatra was unveiled on the occasion.
