Birsa Agricultural University, Jharkhand

About Birsa Agricultural University

Agricultural education in Bihar began in 1945 with the Bihar Agricultural College at Sabour. Due to the distinct agricultural conditions of South Bihars plateau region, Ranchi Agricultural College was established in 1955, followed by Ranchi Veterinary College in 1961 and the College of Forestry in 1980. Rajendra Agricultural University was created in 1971, and the need for a second university led to the formation of Birsa Agricultural University (BAU). BAU was inaugurated on 26 June 1981 by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Its aim is to develop region-specific technologies and skilled manpower in agriculture, animal husbandry and forestry. The university operates multiple colleges, research centres, farms, Krishi Vigyan Kendras and residential facilities to support education, research and extension activities.
