purpose of the MSc in Natural Resources Management programme is to contribute to the socio-economic development of the nation by increasing the critical mass of qualified citizens and building knowledge-based society. The programme is intended to enhance the knowledge and skills of the mid-level professionals with specialized knowledge and competencies in a range of subject areas pertaining to rural development in general and agriculture, animal production and forestry in particular. These professionals are expected to play a critical leadership role in the management of agriculture, livestock development, and forestry in the country. The programme is targeted towards mid-career agriculturist, foresters, and livestock development workers.<\/p><p>The programme will provide opportunities for student to develop research capacity through the process of conducting research independently and develop research skills and critical thinking. Student can focus on a wide range of research topics under agriculture, domains like agronomy, horticulture, organic farming, crop pest and disease management, farm economics, soil fertility management, good agriculture practices, agroecology, food security, climate change impacts on agriculture, commodity chain analysis, gender and farming, agriculture co-operatives, rural urban migration, agriculture extension, rural development, genetics and plant breeding, seed science and technology, postharvest technology, food science and technology, sustainable agriculture and land use types, etc. Under animal science and animal health, areas and research topics such as animal nutrition, dairy, piggery, poultry, feed and fodder, meat science, farm fisheries, animal biology, and fertility will be focused. Student can do research in a range of forestry related topics but not limited to, such as forest management, conservation science, wildlife, climate change studies, social forestry, ecology, freshwater ecology, dendrology, geographical information systems and environmental management.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"tab-pane elementkit-tab-pane elementor-repeater-item-0c9301c \" id=\"content-0c9301c6a1456361b61d\" role=\"tabpanel\"\n                         aria-labelledby=\"content-0c9301c6a1456361b61d-tab\">\n                        <div class=\"animated fadeIn\">\n                            <p>Specifically, the programme will enhance the knowledge and competencies of the student to:<\/p><ul><li>Reflect critically on the relationship between theory and practice in the discipline\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 of agriculture, forestry, and animal science<\/li><li>Contextualize and apply analytical frameworks and methodologies to better\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0understand contesting claims over natural resources<\/li><li>Conceptualize, design, and conduct independent scientific research to develop a\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0deeper understanding of the key methodologies\u00a0<\/li><li>Gather, organise, report data, interpret and communicate the results effectively to\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 the stakeholders<\/li><li>Apply sound methodologies and work ethics to problems solving in sustainable\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0natural resources management effectively<\/li><li>Disseminate research outputs to local, regional, national and international forums\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 including departmental seminars and publication in appropriate platforms\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 including proceedings or conferences, whenever applicable<\/li><li>Develop a comprehensive knowledge of previous and current literature in their\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0field of expertise contributing to successful practice in their professions<\/li><li>Formulate, plan, implement, and evaluate agriculture, forestry, and livestock\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0development programmes and projects\u00a0<\/li><li>Analyse and understand the economic, social, political, cultural, and legal\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0environment in the context of the research work<\/li><li>Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the development needs of the\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 country<\/li><\/ul>                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                    <div class=\"tab-pane elementkit-tab-pane elementor-repeater-item-8590528 \" id=\"content-85905286a1456361b61d\" role=\"tabpanel\"\n                         aria-labelledby=\"content-85905286a1456361b61d-tab\">\n                        <div class=\"animated fadeIn\">\n                            <p>The Master of Science in NRM is a research based programme.
