"In the process of "Grow More Food Programme" and "Green Revolutions", more importance was given to the Agricultural Engineering activities for increasing the agricultural production. With this objective, the erstwhile Agricultural Engineering wing was separated from the Department of Agriculture and the new "Agricultural Engineering Department" was formed in January 1981, headed by a Chief Engineer as the head of Department.
