A group of 20 B.Sc. (Hons.) Agriculture students from ICAR-IARI, Umiam, Meghalaya, accompanied by two teachers, visited the School of Agricultural Sciences, Nagaland University (SAS, NU), Medziphema Campus, as part of an educational tour.
During their visit, the students explored the College Library and the Education Museum on campus. They also visited the Insect Museum in the Department of Entomology, where they learned about the diverse world of insects, and the Disease Museum in the Department of Plant Pathology, which provided insight into plant diseases.
