Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

The Assistant Professor of Statistics at the Government College of Agriculture, Dhule (affiliated with MPKV Rahuri) is responsible for conducting undergraduate theory and practical lectures for B.Sc. (Hons) Agriculture students. Key duties include teaching Agricultural Statistics, experimental designs (CRD, RBD, Factorial, Split Plot), biometrics, statistical software analysis, practical examination invigilation, paper assessment, and assisting PG students in experimental research data analysis.
