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.
