ACADEMIC DEPARTMENTS
Agriculture & Environmental studies
The college is situated on a sprawling 10.2-hectare tract of land located within the expansive boundaries of the Oyani Livestock Farm. This particular arrangement is governed by a comprehensive and well-defined memorandum of understanding, which delineates the terms of the collaborative relationship between the aforementioned farm and the educational institution. Since the college’s inception in September 2022, the trainees enrolled in its programs have been actively engaged in a series of practical lessons and hands-on training sessions that are conducted on the premises of the farm.
Oyani Livestock Farm operates under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development, specifically falling under the purview of the State Department for Livestock. The farm has garnered a reputation for its substantial influence and contributions to the fields of dairy farming and related research endeavors. As a training institution, the college ensures that its trainees are provided with exposure to exemplary dairy farming practices as well as cutting-edge research techniques. This encompasses not only the aspects of dairy feed management but also the utilization of agricultural machinery and tools, which are integral components of the Agricultural Engineering domain.
Furthermore, the department associated with the college is actively involved in the cultivation of horticultural crops and the production of maize. These activities are undertaken not only to further the educational objectives of the college but also to serve as viable income-generating ventures that contribute to the financial sustainability of the institution.
Business Studies & Entrepreneurship.
Business Studies refers to the academic discipline that encompasses the systematic study of various aspects of business operations, including management, finance, marketing, economics, and organizational behavior. It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how businesses function, develop strategies, and contribute to economic growth and stability.
Entrepreneurship , on the other hand, is the process of identifying, creating, and managing new business ventures with the goal of innovating, capturing market opportunities, and generating economic value. It involves risk-taking, resource mobilization, and strategic planning to transform ideas into viable business enterprises. While entrepreneurship is often a component of business studies, it specifically focuses on the initiation and growth of new enterprises.
Computing & Informatics.
Computing refers to the study and application of computer systems, software, and hardware to process and manage information. It includes areas such as programming, algorithms, system design, and data analysis.
Informatics involves the study of information processing, including the design and use of information systems and technology. It focuses on how information is collected, stored, and utilized, and how it affects individuals and organizations. Together, computing and informatics explore how technology can be used to solve problems, optimize processes, and enhance decision-making.
Automotive & Mechanical Engineering.
Automotive and mechanical engineering is a specialized field that combines principles from both mechanical engineering and automotive technology. It focuses on the design, development, manufacturing, and maintenance of vehicles and their systems. This includes everything from engines and transmissions to suspension systems and fuel efficiency. Professionals in this field work on improving vehicle performance, safety, and sustainability while addressing challenges specific to the automotive industry.
Cosmetology & Fashion And Design.
Cosmetology constitutes a specialized field dedicated to the scientific and artistic application of beauty treatments, encompassing advanced techniques in dermatological care, hairdressing, and cosmetic artistry. It emphasizes the enhancement of personal aesthetics through a comprehensive understanding of skin, hair, and makeup methodologies.
Fashion and Design represents an intricate domain involving the conceptualization and creation of apparel and accessories. This field synthesizes artistic principles with technical expertise to innovate in textile design and garment construction, while meticulously addressing stylistic trends, cultural contexts, and individual sartorial preferences.
Hospitality & Tourism.
Hospitality pertains to the sector dedicated to providing exceptional service and experiences within the realms of accommodation, food and beverage, and event management. It encompasses the strategic and operational aspects of ensuring guest satisfaction and delivering high-quality service in various settings, such as hotels, restaurants, and resorts.
Tourism involves the study and management of travel and leisure activities, focusing on the planning, promotion, and administration of travel experiences and destinations. It examines the dynamics of travel behavior, destination marketing, and the economic impact of tourism, aiming to enhance the visitor experience while fostering sustainable practices in the industry.
