About Assam Agricultural University
Assam Agricultural University (AAU), established on April 1, 1969, in Jorhat, is the first agricultural university in Northeast India. Its roots trace back to 1948 with Assam Agricultural College (Jorhat) and Assam Veterinary College (Nagaon), inspired by Gopinath Bordoloi. Early rice research stations in Karimganj (1913) and Titabor (1923) laid the foundation for agricultural education in the region. AAU has six faculties—Agriculture, Veterinary, Community Science, Fishery, Horticulture, and Sericulture—with nine constituent colleges. It oversees education, research, and extension programs through dedicated directorates and officials. The university’s mission is to produce skilled human resources, advance agricultural research, and disseminate sustainable technologies for farmers, agripreneurs, and the agricultural industry. 1674
