The recommendation of having integrated universities had been arrived at after interacting with all the stakeholders, including farmers, academicians, students and experts, sources said. To begin with, the committee is learnt to have recommended that all the agricultural and horticultural universities include all aspects of agriculture and allied issues.
In a step that could change the profile of universities in the farming sector, an expert committee led by former chief secretary T.M. Vijay Bhaskar has recommended that all the agricultural and allied universities in Karnataka be turned into integrated universities instead of the present system of being confined to either agriculture or horticulture.
The report was submitted by the committee comprising experts, including vice-chancellors, to the government of Karnataka on September 4.
