The Department of Agricultural Engineering, in association with Paavai Velaan Mandram, organized an Awareness Programme on the Agricultural Engineering Government Scheme – “End to End Farm Mechanization” on 14th October 2025 at Prestige Hall. The programme aimed to familiarize students with the Government of Tamil Nadu’s initiatives to promote complete mechanization throughout the stages of crop production, thereby increasing productivity, reducing labour dependency, and advancing sustainable agricultural practices.
The event commenced with a prayer song, followed by a welcome address delivered by Mr. P. Yogaraj, IV Year, Department of Agricultural Engineering, Student Secretary. In his address, he highlighted the relevance of farm mechanization in enhancing the efficiency of agricultural operations and its role in empowering farmers through technology adoption.

The programme was meticulously coordinated by Mr. U. Karthickeya, Assistant Professor (FS/Agri), and Mr. R. Gopikrishnan, Teaching Research Associate (Agri), under the guidance of the Head of the Department. The session witnessed enthusiastic participation from students who actively interacted with the speaker and gained valuable insights into agricultural engineering schemes, machinery applications, and rural technology development.
The event concluded with a vote of thanks proposed by Mr. Gokula Kannan M., Overall Coordinator, Department of Agricultural Engineering, who expressed heartfelt gratitude to Mrs. R.
