The Centre wishes to promote bee-keeping as an economic generation
activity in the neighboring villages. The bee-keeping activity
was started with Italian bees in the Centre 2002. The honey
that is produced is of very good quality and taste. This is
because; Raghat Campus is endowed with wide range of floral
diversity. The flowers of ornamental plants, vegetable crops,
pulses, cereals, herbs, shrubs, forest species, etc. contribute
a great deal to the medicinal quality of the honey. The produced
at centre is in great demand.
Another advantage of beekeeping at the Centre is the bees
increase the crop production by 10 to 30%. At present the
Centre is maintaining 10 bee boxes and the honey is expected
to be harvested in February/March.
