As part of the tour, the alumni visited class rooms, the play area, library, auditorium, botanical garden, wet land plot cultivation, hostel, food mess among other hotspots located at the TNAU campus. On Sunday, as a token of gratitude to their alma mater, the former students of the varsity donated a monument related to Agriculture which was installed at the botanical garden as a permanent fixture.
Besides this, a life-size statue of a farmer with a plough made of brass was mounted on a podium that is 4 ft above the ground.
The podium surrounded by granite slabs symbolically represents Agriculture, Horticulture and Agri-engineering and has the description of the inauguration inscribed on it. The monument was inaugurated by Dr. N Kumar, Vice-Chancellor, TNAU inside the botanical garden. The new additions to the botanical garden will also double up as tourist spots for visitors.
