LIVING LAB
The process of learning should not be confined to the
four walls of a classroom. Students learn more effectively
by seeing and doing the things. The concept of living lab
emphasizes on bridging the gap between research/ class
room teaching and commercial success of innovation.
Keeping in view of the requirement, the centre set up an
“Agribusiness Living Lab”. This gives the students to
confidently recommend any agricultural technology/
practices to the farmers. The good old saying “Seeing is
Believing” is put to practice. The Agribusiness Living Lab is a place, where varieties of
agribusiness model technologies are showcased with
practical demonstration, in other words Training cum
Production Centre. The lab is used to guide aspiring
youth and agri-entrepreneurs in developing profitable
agri-business enterprises in the Bio-compost/
