1.1. Assam Agricultural University Established on April 1, 1969 with its Headquarters at Jorhat, Assam Agricultural
University (AAU) is the first institution of its kind in the whole North-Eastern Region of India. The base of this
institution comprised the erstwhile Assam Agricultural College at Jorhat and the Assam Veterinary College at
Khanapara, Guwahati. Subsequently, seven more colleges, namely the College of Community Science at Jorhat, the
College of Fisheries at Raha, the Biswanath College of Agriculture at Biswanath Chariali, the Sarat Chandra Singha
College of Agriculture at Rangamati, Chapar, the Lakhimpur College of Veterinary Science at Joyhing, North
Lakhimpur, the College of Horticulture at Nalbari and the College of Sericulture at Titabar were established at
different point of time under the AAU.
