Focus and Scope

The Journal of Tarunasita: Agricultural Development and Technology. The name Tarunasita embodies the spirit of advancing knowledge and agricultural innovation. “Taruna” represents an emerging generation characterized by dynamism, adaptability, integrity, and a commitment to renewal, while “sita” is associated with the Sanskrit term sītā, meaning a furrow made by a plough and symbolizing cultivation, soil fertility, and agricultural life. Together, these elements express the spirit of a pioneering generation that opens new furrows of knowledge, sows ideas and innovations, and contributes to agricultural progress. The name reflects the journal’s commitment to connecting human resource development with science and technology to support productive, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable agriculture, while affirming Polbangtan YOMA’s role in preparing innovative agricultural professionals dedicated to community development.
