The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) is the apex body for coordinating, guiding, and
managing research and education in agriculture in the entire country under the aegis of DARE,
Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare. Considering the importance of agricultural education,
the University Education Commission (1948) chaired by Dr. S. Radhakrishnanrecommended the
establishment of Rural Universities in the country. As a result, the first State Agricultural
University was established in 1960 at Pantnagar on the pattern of the Land Grant Colleges of the
United States
