ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF PROF. ARVIND KUMAR,
VICE CHANCELLOR, RANI LAKSHMI BAI CENTRAL AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, JHANSI

Born on July 4, 1952, in Haridwar District has distinct professional experience of
40 years involving teaching/research/ extension activities in various capacities
(27 years as a faculty member including additional responsibility for four years
as Joint Director (Extension) at GBPUA&T, Pantnagar, the premier agricultural
university in the country; about 8 years as Director, DRMR (earlier NRCRM,
Bharatpur) in Crop Science Division, four and half years’ as DDG (Education),
ICAR and one year & four months as Vice-Chancellor Rani Lakshmi Bai Central
Agricultural University (RMP position – 14 years) . During my M.Phil. programme
studied multi-disciplinary courses in plant sciences including Plant Breeding, Plant
Physiology, Botany, Biochemistry and Biostatistics.

Principal Investigator of Oilseed Project at Pantnagar and coordinated crop
improvement programme on rapeseed-mustard at DRMR, Bharatpur-spread over 22
centres and 12 verification centres in India. It resulted in development of 40 varieties of
oilseed Brassica suited for different agro-climatic zone since 2002, leading to increase
in production from 5.1 million tonnes in 2001-02 to all time high (8.2 million tonnes in
2010-11). The productivity level enhanced and farming community benefitted. The
seed replacement rate increased to more than 50%.

Project Leader of Hybrid Project – Rapeseed-Mustard, funded by NATP, leading to
development of first mustard hybrid based on Mori Cytoplasmic Male Sterility system.

Indian Project Leader for two international projects on Brassica improvement at
Bharatpur, worth about Rs.14 million each, leading to genetic enhancement for biotic &
abiotic stresses. About 150 germplasm were procured which helped in broadening up
genetic base.

Developed four varieties-three mustard (NRCDR-2, NRCHB-101, NRCDR-601) and a
yellow sarson (NRCYS-5-2). Involved in development of first national variety of mustard
– Kranti and PT 303 of Toria.

As a Team Leader developed and accomplished a national network project on
management of Alternaria blight and vegetable crops which led to collection of various
isolates and development of effective technology for the management of this important
disease.

Developed DUs test guidelines of Brassica and created testing facilities at Bharatpur

Guided 31 PG Research Projects including 9 for Ph.D. degree programme.

Established all infrastructural, residential facilities, procured equipment worth about 4
crores and laboratory established, facilities for glass house, green house and seed
53
processing were accomplished, unique water harvesting structure developed and
increasing thereby the rain water utilization efficiently. All the wells could be energized.

Organized Departmental Promotion Committee meetings for scientists, technical and
administrative staff. All the cases were completed on time without any dispute.

Started innovative crop technology educational programme for farmers from All India
Radio at four locations, lessons prepared, interaction organized which gave visible
impact.

Organised first international training programme on research methodology in Brassica.

Participated and presented 52 papers in international and 150 in national symposium/
conferences/seminars etc.

Published 155 research papers, 87 popular articles, 4 review articles, 11 books, 18
chapters in books, 26 bulletins and 11 reports.

Received Dr. Rajendra Prasad Award, ISA Fellow & Gold Medal, ISOR Fellow &
SEE Fellow.

Awarded Fellow of National Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

President of Indian Society of Agronomy and Society for Rapeseed Mustard
Research.

Visited 20 countries for professional reasons and presented my research work.
 Took innovative measures towards education quality and reforms and strengthening of
higher agricultural education.
