and trainings for their associates. This Department offers an introductory courses in

Agricultural Economics that are taken by all students of agriculture and livestock

including DVM based degree programs in the university. The Department strives hard

to make these courses as understandable, useful and interesting as possible.

A large number of students continue to enroll in the department for MSc (Honr) in

Agricultural Economics. The first year of post-graduate study is devoted to advanced

courses. These courses include Agricultural Production Economics, Advance Micro and

Macroeconomics, Research Methodology, Econometrics, Advance Marketing Analysis,

CRITERION-7

INSTITUTIONAL FACILITIES

38

Criterion-7 Institutional Facilities

Institutional facilities including library, class rooms and offices are adequate to

support the objectives of the program.

Standard 7-1: The Institution must have the infrastructure to support new trends

in learning such as e-learning.

a) Departmental library and internet facility

Currently there is no departmental library however copies of internship reports, reviews,

theses and dissertations of the students are placed in the office of the office

superintendent and are available for the students. Faculty and students use the Central

Library of the University. The Departmental library needs to be upgraded however.

Internet facility is available in offices of the faculty and Main Computer Laboratory of the

University. A large number of international research journals are also available through

HEC Digital Library and research articles of interest can be downloaded. However,

these facilities are insufficient to cater the requirements of the students and need

improvement.

b) Main library

Faculty members and students of Department of Agricultural Economics are allowed to

use the main library during and after normal working hours. The main library provides

the following services;

i. Course books and reference matierial

ii. Internet and e-learning resources

iii. Digital library with access to journals and e-books

c) Offices

Each faculty of the Department has its own office. However, Ph.D. students share

offices.

39

d) Class rooms

The Department has two classrooms. There is an urgent need of two more classrooms

to cater the needs of its under-graduate students.

Standard 7-2: The library must possess on up-to-date technical collection

relevant to the program and must be adequately staffed with professional

personnel.

The Main University Library has 10800 books and 15,000 volumes of scientific

journals covering a wide range of disciplines in agriculture with a vast collection of

literature on Agricultural Economics. The Main University Library has professional

staff and is also computerized. Though the library has the latest literature on

Agricultural Economics, yet this literature covers only some aspects of the subject.

Standard 7-3: Class rooms must be adequately equipped and offices must be

adequate to enable faculty to carry out their responsibility.

Classrooms

Presently, the Department uses its two classrooms for teaching purpose. Although,

these classrooms are equipped with whiteboards, yet two more classrooms is urgently

needed for under-graduate students. Further, it also needs one conference room for

organizing seminars.

Faculty Offices

Most of the faculty has adequate office facilities. However, more offices will be

required to accommodate new faculty.

CRITERION-8

INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT

41

Criterion-8 Institutional Support

The institution’s support and the financial resources for the program is sufficient to

provide an environment in which the program can achieve its objectives and retain

its strengths.

Standard 8-1: There must be sufficient support and financial resources

to attract and retain high quality faculty and provide the means for them to

maintain competence as teacher and scholars.

The Department of Agricultural Economics has sufficient qualified faculty to provide

opportunities to junior faculty and students to maintain competence. For the last few

years HEC has been very generous to strengthen our Department through Indigenous

PhD Scholarships. The major financial source of the the Department is the Khyber

Pakhtunkhwa Agricultural University, Peshawar which relies on HEC for funding.

Standard 8-2: There must be an adequate number of high quality graduate students, research assistants and Ph.D. Students

The following table shows the number of students enrolled in M.Sc (Hons) program of the

Department of Agricultural Economics.
