Benefits of CoE

Considering the State has a gene pool of important vegetables, fruits and plants like Citrus fruits in Nokrek, East Garo Hills District, the CoE will act as
a stimulus for more research work and also for expansion into multi-fold aspects including tourism potential.
By generating/propagating seedlings through Quality Planting Materials, CoE is likely to create a meaningful impact.
It will enhance cultivation by introducing techniques and technology support and creating water harvesting and conservation initiatives.
To address the marketing issue, it will explore the possibility to establish a State of the Art Packing House.
