The Vice Chancellor emphasized that technological interventions and sustainable farming practices enhancing productivity while minimizing environmental impact must be embraced by all stakeholders. Addressing the alarming deficit in oilseed production, the Vice Chancellor highlighted that the country currently faces over 60% annual demand shortfall. Jammu and Kashmir (Union Territory) also reported a deficit in total oilseed production by over 70%.
The Vice Chancellor praised the role of the ICAR sanctioned AICRP sub-centre at SKUAST-Jammu that was established in 2009 and has significantly increased the acreage and productivity of rapeseed mustard crops in the region. The initiative has achieved remarkable results over the past decade, with acreage increasing from 55,000 hectares and productivity from 762 kg/ha in 2012 to 140,000 hectares and 1149 kg/ha, respectively in 2022.

During the meeting, Dr. Sanjeev Gupta, ADG (Oilseeds & Pulses), ICAR, New Delhi, emphasized the significance of oilseed production and the challenges and opportunities in the sector.
