first university in India to blend technology with
agriculture. In 1949, the Radhakrishnan University
Education Commission was set up to impart agricultural
education by establishing rural universities. In 1954,
it was decided by an Indo-American team led by Dr. K.R.
Damle, the Vice President of ICAR, to establish a 'Rural
University' on the land-grant pattern of USA. Thus the
task of assisting Uttar Pradesh in setting up an
agricultural. university was assigned to the University
of Illinois. In 1960, the first agricultural university
of India came into being, which was later named after
pt. Govind Ballabh Pant, the former Chief Minister of
UP. It is indeed a symbol of successful partnership
between India and the United States of India. The
university has pioneered revolution in agricultural
education, research and extension. The impressive main
campus is studded with all modern amenities. It has the
area responsibillty for the entire Uttaranchal
representing plains, Tarai, Bhabar and hill areas.
However, to provide service to the hill region its other
stations are situated at Ranichauri (Tehri district),
Majhera (Nainital district) and at Lohaghat-Sui
(Champawat district). |
