Ø  Public-Private Partnerships

JNKVV has implemented the benefit sharing of the public sector breeds with the private sector. There seems to be a tremendous potential to develop the seed links programme of public/private sector. This helps in developing/strengthening research resources and adequate resource income to University. AnMoU has been developed for the purpose. This MOU is as per the guidelines of IPR Management for Agriculture Research Technologies of NARS and approved by Board of Management of University. Seed companies i.e., Vikki Agro Tech, Vibha Seeds, J.K. Agric Genetics, Dhanuka Seeds, Agri. Co. Seed, Spriha Seeds, Sarkar Seeds, Kohinoor Seeds, AmareswaraAgritech, Ajit Seed and a dozen of seed companies showed interest for commercialization of early maturing Rice hybrids on non exclusive basis. Similarly in medicinal and aromatic plants partnerships are being developed through three-party agreement i.e., JNKVV, farmers and industry on mutually agreeable terms and conditions. A Business Planning Development Unit of the University has been established to care of transferable technologies for commercialization of Seed Production, Medicinal & Aromatics, Biofertilizer technologies etc.
