Under the MOU, the UVAS and POULTA INC will join hands to fill gaps between the industry & academia for advancements in eggs and chicken industries by using higher-level research & development techniques.
Both the organisations will help industry people to transform traditional poultry industry with digitized and scientifically-predictable poultry farming by introducing and training modern/smart poultry farming at a national and global level.
The aim is to make poultry products safe, healthy, accessible, affordable and bring sustainable economic growth worldwide. POULTA will provide services to the undergraduate and postgraduate students in terms of paid internships leading to jobs and provision of day old chicks and feed, etc, for conducting research projects at UVAS.
UVAS will allow utilization of the facilities like labs, lecture rooms and model farms.
