The Department of Agricultural Engineering, Saveetha Engineering College, organized a five-day training programme for students at the Agricultural Engineering Department (AED), Nandanam, Chennai, from 12 October 2026 to 16 October 2026. The training programme aimed to enhance students’ technical knowledge and practical understanding of agricultural machinery, soil and water conservation, geospatial technologies, and irrigation management. 

During the first day, students were introduced to various tractor equipment, their major components, functions, and applications in agricultural operations.

The second day focused on agricultural machinery and implements, their working principles, and the types of engines used in agricultural equipment, including diesel and petrol engines. 

On the third day, students learned about soil and water conservation techniques, their significance, and various methods for preventing soil erosion and conserving water resources.

The fourth day covered Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing technologies, and their applications in agricultural water management.

On the fifth day, students gained knowledge of different irrigation systems and efficient water application methods. The programme concluded with a group photograph, feedback sharing, and an informative session on career opportunities and job roles in the agricultural engineering sector.

The five-day training programme provided valuable technical exposure and practical insights into modern agricultural engineering practices. It helped students connect theoretical knowledge with field applications and enhanced their awareness of emerging technologies and career prospects in the agricultural engineering profession.
