B.A.College of Agricultural , Anand

The B.A. College of Agriculture, Anand, was established in 1947 in the state of Gujarat, India. It was initially affiliated to Bombay University until 1956, then to Gujarat University until 1962, and subsequently to Sardar Patel University along with the Sheth M.C. College of Dairy Science. In 1972, it became an integral institution of the newly formed Gujarat Agricultural University, alongside the Government College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Anand, which was established in 1964. With effect from 2004, the activities of the Anand zone of the erstwhile Gujarat Agricultural University were transferred to the newly created Anand Agricultural University (AAU), of which the B.A. College of Agriculture is now a constituent college. The college has also served as the base for several other educational wings, including the College of Horticulture, Anand, the College and Polytechnic of Agriculture, Vaso, and the College of Agriculture, Jabuagm, all established as wings under the B.A. College of Agriculture. The broader Anand Agricultural University, of which this college is part, provides education in agriculture, horticulture, engineering, information technology, and business studies, serving the farming community across several districts of Gujarat.
