   Bee Keeping

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.
