Description: Located in the heart of India, named after the architect of modern India, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, a multi-campus University, Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya (JNKVV) was inaugurated by the then Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Smt. Indira Gandhi on October 2, 1964. Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (JNKVV), Jabalpur was established in 1964, as the biggest multi-campus university, with an approach to narrow down the gap between the experts and farmers, through Joint Indo-American Team on Agricultural Research and Education in 1954-55 and 1959-60 on the patterns of Land Grant Colleges of USA. In subsequent years, the University had to part with its area of jurisdiction due to creation of sister universities- Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (IGKV) at Raipur in 1987, Rajmata Vijayaraje Scindia Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya, Gwalior in 2008 and Nanaji Deshmukh Pashu Chikitsa Vigyan Vishwa Vidyalaya, Jabalpur in 2009. The Central Administrative Office of the University is located about 7 km North of Jabalpur town on National Highway No. 7. At present, JNKVV encompasses five Colleges of Agriculture (Jabalpur, Rewa, Tikamgarh, Ganjbasoda and Waraseoni); one College of Agricultural Engineering (Jabalpur); four Zonal Agricultural Research Stations (ZARS) (Jabalpur, Powarkheda, Tikamgarh and Chhindwara); four Regional Agricultural Research Stations (Rewa, Sagar, Dindori and Waraseoni); four Agricultural Research Stations (ARS) (Naugaon, Garhakota, Sausar and Tendini) and twenty Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVK) representing six agro-climatic zones spread over 25 districts. JNKVV has produced competent human resource for managing the activities of agriculture and allied sectors, and the need based research and its rapid dissemination has led to several improved technologies, which have played important role for increased production and productivity of crops on sustainable basis, as reflected in 18.9 % growth rate in total agricultural food grain production during the year 2011-12 and 16.4 % during the year 2012-13 of the state of Madhya Pradesh.. The State ranks first in production of pulses, second in production of oilseeds and third in production of cereals at national level. The state’s contribution to the national food basket is about 11.2% (2012-13). The State received “Krishi Karman Award” at national level for two consecutive years, i.e. for the years 2011-12 and 2012-13. The area covered by the University is not only large but also diversified. Since its establishment the university has made laudable progress and has come to the expectations of the people of the state by greatly benefiting the farming community. Research Stations Multi disciplinary research of applied nature is conducted on Natural Resources Management, Crop Improvement, Crop Protection, Post Harvest Technology, Farm Machinery and Livestock Production and Management at four Zonal Agricultural Research Stations, Regional Research Stations, and Agricultural Research Stations, respectively after the formation of RVSKVV, Gwalior. Well-equipped and mechanized farms, workshops, laboratories, Agro-met Center, glass and nethouses, library, ARIS Cell with latest information and communication technology strengthen are the major facilities of the University. As on date All India Coordinated Research projects, ICAR Network Projects (40), NAIP, Ad-hoc Research Projects (58), State Plan and Non- Plan Projects, Madhya Pradesh Mandi Funded Projects, other externally funded projects (BARC, MSSRS, MAPCOST etc.), Government of India projects (Agro-Economic Research Center, CCS etc.) are in operation to carry out the research work in agriculture and allied fields. Besides it, University is extending services as Product Testing facility for the corporate sector.

Description: Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, is an autonomous nonprofit, research and educational organization working for the up-liftment of farmer's livelihood of Chhattisgarh. Education, Research and Extension are the major activities coordinated through agriculture, veterinary, dairy and agricultural engineering faculties and Directorates of instruction, research and extension. Grant in aid is received from ICAR, State Government and international agencies. Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur, has a long historical background. IGKV was established on 20 th January 1987 after bifurcating from Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Jabalpur . From that time to this date, the University has been expanded several fold. In the British regime one Agricultural Research Station was established in 1903 known as “Labhandi Farm” at Raipur . This Labhandi Farm had grown slowly and today it has become the campus of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur . In Between, Rice Research Station (RRS) was established in mid sixties. Later in 1974 Madhya Pradesh Rice Research Institute (MPRRI) was established under the able leadership of great rice scientist Dr. R.H. Richharia. The College of Agriculture was established in 1961 under the government of Madhya Pradesh and it was shifted to the present campus in 1964. After the establishment of Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Jabalpur in 1964 as a State Agricultural University (SAU) under the land-grant pattern of USA , the College of Agriculture became a constituent college of Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwavidyalaya , Jabalpur , Madhya Pradesh. In 1979 National Agricultural Research Project (NARP) came into existence with the financial support of World Bank. The jurisdiction area of IGKV is the entire Chhattisgarh State situated in Eastern India consisting of 18 districts having 3 different Agro climatic Zones. The state is larger than Punjab , Haryana and Kerala states when put together. Rice is the main crop grown during the monsoon season (June-September). In fact, the role and responsibility of IGKV is vital, because it has to cater the needs of socio-economically resource poor, relatively illiterate and tribal farmers with tradition bound agriculture. Mandates The major objectives of the university are; Undertake basic, applied and adaptive research to evolve appropriate solution and technology. Diversification of crops and farming systems. Collaboration with the state, national and international research institution Imparting knowledge and education to the people engaged in agriculture and allied fields. Developing educational and research networks in agriculture and allied field for the state agriculture and allied sectors. Constituent Govt. Colleges College of Agriculture, IGKV, Raipur T.C.B.

Birsa Agricultural University was established on 26th June, 1981 after its formal inauguration by the then Prime Minister of India, Late Smt. Indira Gandhi. Its primary objective is to develop area specific technologies and manpower in the field of agriculture, animal husbandry and forestry for the agricultural development of the plateau region of Bihar and economic upliftment of tribal and other backward class population of the region.
