Reference excerpt

SAARC Agriculture Centre (Bengali: সার্ক কৃষি কেন্দ্র) is a South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation Regional Centre responsible for promoting research and development in agriculture and allied sectors in South Asian countries. The Centre’s headquarter is in the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council Complex, Farmgate, Dhaka. The Centre is headed by a Director, deputed by the host country Bangladesh; accompanied by regionally recruited competent Professional Staff designated as Senior Program Specialists (SPS), and the General Service Staff (GSS). Dr. Md. Baktear Hossain became director of the SAARC Agriculture Centre in December 2020. The Professional Staff are recruited from the regional competition among the applicants from the SAARC member states. There are six Senior Program Specialists (SPSs)- in the Centre to handle different themes of agriculture and allied sectors- crops, horticulture, livestock, fisheries, natural resources management (NRM) and priority setting & programme development (PSPD).

History SAARC Agriculture Centre was established by the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation, a regional association of South Asian countries formed in 1985, in 1988 as the SAARC Agricultural Information Centre. In 2007, it was renamed to SAARC Agriculture Centre. The capital cost for establishing the centre was provided by the Government of Bangladesh. With the passage of time, the Centre braced up for broader challenges to make regional cooperation more responsive to the changing needs of the farming communities and relevant stakeholders. The SAARC Agriculture Centre has now been given an enhanced mandate for supporting the member states to address common regional challenges of the food and agriculture sector by strengthening agricultural research and extension systems, knowledge management, and appropriate agricultural policies and program development. It is financially supported by member states of SAARC and its contribution is based on a percentage of their national budgets.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with SAARC Agriculture Centre

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what SAARC Agriculture Centre claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to SAARC Agriculture Centre before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about SAARC Agriculture Centre ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of SAARC Agriculture Centre

In research: SAARC Agriculture Centre appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses SAARC Agriculture Centre in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: SAARC Agriculture Centre is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1988 establishments in Bangladesh, Agricultural research institutes, Bangladeshi organisation stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for SAARC Agriculture Centre outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
