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 &
