PRELUDE

Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences & Technology (SKUAST) was

established with headquarter at Shalimar in August, 1982 through an Act of Jammu &

Kashmir State Legislature with its jurisdiction throughout the State of Jammu and Kashmir.

However, an amendment in Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and

Technology (Act 1982) was promulgated through SRO-408 dated 20-09-1999, wherein

SKUAST was bifurcated in SKUAST-J & SKUAST-K with restriction of the territorial

jurisdiction to Jammu and Kashmir Divisions, respectively. The SKUAST-K is a multi-

campus institution with headquarter at Shalimar, Srinagar. The academic programmes of the

University are run at 06 campuses viz. Shalimar, Shuhama,Wadura, Rangil, Benihama &

Mirgund. Almost all the programmes of the study offered by the University at Graduate and

Postgraduate levels are accredited by Accreditation Board of Indian Council of Agricultural

Research, New Delhi.

The University has excellent infrastructure and facilities for teaching, research and extension

education in Agriculture and allied sciences with state of the art laboratories. These three

basic mandates of the University are being achieved by location- and mandate- specific 05

different Subject Matter Faculties, 02 Constituent Colleges, 26 Research

Stations/Centres/Institutes/Mountain Agro-ecosystem(Temperate/Cold Arid), 13 Krishi

Vigyan Kendras and 01 Extension Training Centre placed in different districts of Kashmir

and Ladakh Divisions of the State. The University supports student learning, development

and achievement by providing tools and opportunities for their educational and professional

growth. The University is treading with big strides to achieve excellence specifically in

Mountain Agricultural Systems of temperate and cold arid types. It is emerging in academic

and research arenas as a seat of excellent learning and capacity building in Agriculture &

allied sectors.
