Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agriculture Sciences and Technology of Kashmir (SKUAST-K)

Agriculture sector in Jammu and Kashmir State comprising agriculture, horticulture, forests, sericulture, fisheries, animal husbandry and allied fields is pivotal in the development of its economy. The sector constitutes the main source of livelihood for nearly 80 per cent of the population and contributes more than 50 per cent to Net Domestic Product. The agro-eco-environment of the State, especially in the provinces of Kashmir and Ladakh, is entirely different from rest of the country. In view of the complex problems, born out of natural factors facing the agricultural development of the State, the need for establishing a sound agricultural research and education system was felt since long and several patterns were considered since 1970’s. Finally the State Govt. decided to set up an Agricultural University and Technology Act which was passed by Legislative Assembly of the State in March, 1982 that came into force from August, 1982
