INFORMATION BROCHURE – 2020

REVISED INFORMATION BROCHURE – 2020

Historical Background

The idea of establishment of University for the development of various sectors of agriculture was under

persuasion by the government of Jammu and Kashmir right from early 1970’s. But its dream came true

with its establishment in the year 1982 and was named after great legendary leader, the Sher-e-Kashmir,

Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah as Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology

with its main campus at Shalimar, Srinagar with a vision to pursue teaching and conduct research and

extension services in agriculture and allied sciences directed to food, nutritional and livelihood security.

During 1998-99, the territorial jurisdiction of the University was redefined by amending the SKUAST

Act under which a separate Agricultural University was established for Jammu Division and accordingly

the parent University was renamed as Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and

Technology of Kashmir (SKUAST-K) with its jurisdiction of following two agro-ecological regions:

Mid-High Altitude Temperate Zone namely the Kashmir Valley covering ten districts of

Anantnag, Budgam, Baramulla, Pulwama, Kupwara, Srinagar, Ganderbal, Kulgam, Bandipora

and Shopian. This region experiences an average annual precipitation of 660mm with mean

temperature around 130C and the altitude ranging between 1500-2500 m amsl.

Cold-Arid region namely Ladakh, the districts of Leh and Kargil which are cold desert with

precipitation only around 90-275mm and altitude above 2000 m amsl.

The agricultural economy in India during the past four decades got transformed inviting attention to mark

a shift from subsistence agricultural economy to high-tech agri-business economy by keeping intact the

historic and futuristic identity of the ecological regions. Therefore, identifying the nature and pattern of

complimentary links within the sub-sectors of agriculture under the complex challenges of climate

change, economic shocks, energy security and other uncertainties especially in the Himalayan region

demanded specialization and super specialization of Institutions for academic and research excellence in

the specific and niche areas. With this in view, the mandate and mission of SKUAST-K, was redefined to

become an Institution of Excellence in Mountain and Hill Agriculture.

Mandate

Imparting education in different branches of study like Agriculture, Horticulture, Veterinary and

Animal Sciences, Forestry, Fisheries, Agricultural Engineering, Home Science, Environmental

Science, Sericulture and other allied sciences;

Undertake strategic and applied research in agriculture and other allied sciences with emphasis

on temperate and cold arid agriculture;

Dissemination of such sciences and technologies to the rural and hill farming community through

extension services; and

Such other purposes as the University may form from time to time.

Mission

University is committed to provide food, nutritional and livelihood security by producing

excellent human resource, innovative technologies and their dissemination and become a leading

University in Hill and Mountain Agriculture.

Goal

To produce human resource in Hill Agriculture and allied disciplines that serve the state/country

and society at large;

To develop technologies for solving farmer’s problems in agriculture and allied sciences as well

as disseminate them;

To improve productivity, profitability and employability.


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. At

present the SKUAST-Kashmir is ranked amongst first 10 Agricultural/Veterinary/Horticultural

Universities of the Country.
