University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore

About the university

The rapid advances made during the last five decades in agricultural sciences and technology has reduced many of the constraints of agricultural production by raising the capabilities of the man behind the plough. Human resource plays a vital role in agricultural development processes.In this perspective the agricultural education was much emphasised during the post-independent period.One of the important measures undertaken by India immediately after attaining freedom was the setting up of the University Education Commission to revitalise higher education in the country.Arising from the recommendations,two Indo-American teams spent considerable time in formulation of proposals to recognise agricultural education in India by adopting some of the features of the land grant system of USA.The agricultural university movement launched in 1950s has blossomed now to 68 universities of higher education in agricultural sciences,this being the largest number of such institutions in the world.

Objective

Teaching

To make agricultural education responsive to the growing and changing needs of the society in general and aspirations of the farming community in particular.

To establish a dynamic system of agricultural education to train highly skilled and competent manpower to address the challenging tasks with new emerging areas of research,extension and industry.

Research

To develop suitable end-use technologies to solve farmers problems vis-a-vis agricultural production including animal husbandry and fisheries and foster research aimed at conceptual advances in all disciplines for technology development in the long run.

To establish state-of-art infrastructure including well-equipped laboratories,extensive farmlands and an operational research management system that will ensure quick,efficient and cost effective implementation of research programmes.

To attract qualified and talented personnel to undertake research in the university.

Extension

To ensure that the research findings and innovations, after their proven demonstration,are communicated to the farmers on a logistically feasible scale.this mechanism acts as an interface between farmers and researchers and enables identification of problems through a positive feed back.

To reach the knowledge and technology to farmers on a wider scale by training the grassroot level workers and officers of the state departments of agriculture,horticulture and sericulture on recent advances in the respective fields through subject matter specialists.
