He said that as per the provisions of the Act, all the institutions running programmes related to agriculture education were to submit a status report with regard to affiliation, admission, curricula, staff etc to the council within 30 days and a compliance report within six months, so as to seek approval of council within two years from the date of commencement of this Act. The Act was notified on 2nd January, 2018.

Pannu said that 25 institutes offering education in the discipline of agricultural sciences submitted the status report with regard to fulfilling the conditions as prescribed under the Act. However, it has been observed that these institutions do not fulfil the prescribed conditions.
