Taking cue, a number of manufactures are involved in the fabrication of agricultural implements in the region However, their competence in the field can be assessed and appraised of only through precise, methodical and technical testing and evaluation for prototype development for mass scale production and utilization. further, certification of the same for validation and authentication is also a must for commercilization. With this is view, under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana a FIMTTC was sanctioned to the university in 2011. The establishment of this center at Bikaner improved the quality of manufacturing as per the standards of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The center also awarded ISO90001:2015 certification in the year 2016.
