ICAR accreditation process for quality assurance in agricultural education

Accreditation is a formal and independent verification that a program
or institution meets established quality standards and is competent to carry
out specific conformity assessment tasks. As per mandate of the Department
of Agricultural Research and Education (DARE)/Indian Council of
Agricultural Research (ICAR) to aid, impart and coordinate Agricultural
Education to enable Quality Human Resource Development, it requires
accreditation to verify the technical competence of agricultural universities
including other higher agricultural educational institutions (HAEIs) in
the country. ICAR provides accreditation to agriculture universities,
colleges and programmes through its accreditation secretariat of the National
Agricultural Education Accreditation Board (NAEAB).
