*Government College of Horticulture at Katol*
Mumbai, 21st – Approval was granted during today's Cabinet meeting to establish a Government College of Horticulture at Katol in Nagpur district, affiliated with Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola.
The cultivation area for major fruit crops—such as oranges, sweet limes (mosambi), mangoes, lemons, and guavas—as well as drought-resistant crops like amla (Indian gooseberry) and sitaphal (custard apple), is steadily increasing across the 11 districts of the Nagpur and Amravati divisions. Furthermore, given the diversity of fruit, vegetable, and floriculture in Nagpur district, there is a clear need for a horticulture college. Since the college will offer courses covering fruits, vegetables, and flowers, as well as processing and value addition, it will boost related academic studies and research.
The college will admit 120 students annually. A total of 51 regular posts have been sanctioned for the college, comprising 29 teaching posts and 22 non-teaching posts. Additionally, approval has been granted to fill posts on a contractual basis—specifically 5 teaching posts (Group A) and 13 non-teaching posts (8 in Group C and 22 in Group D)—as per requirements. A provision of ?122.32 crore has been approved to cover the salaries and incidental expenses associated with these posts.
