About Us
Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) was established on October 17, 1962. It was formally inaugurated by the then Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, on July 8, 1963. On trifurcation of Punjab State in November 1966, Haryana Agricultural University (HAU) was carved out of PAU by an Act of Parliament in February 1970. In 2006, the College of Veterinary Science was upgraded to Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (GADVASU) at Ludhiana.
College of Agriculture, Palampur, established under the aegis of PAU, was transferred to Himachal Pradesh University in 1970, which later led to the establishment of Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyala (CSKHPAKV), Palampur, in 1978. Later Dr Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture & Forestry, Solan, was carved out of CSKHPKV in 1985. Punjab Agricultural University rightly reserves the claim to be the vanguard of multiple State Agricultural Universities.
