One of the best campuses full of greenery. An amazing place to walk at night and catch up some cold breeze. This is a huge campus with many good facilities.

It is an agricultural university located in north part of Bangalore city.This university is involved in research in the field of agricultural science.The university has enough agricultural land to implement their innovations.The university conducts Krishi Mela once in an year to demonstrate their innovations.Various agricultural universities from all over Karnataka participate and showcase their contributions.One can get agricultural related information,live demo from technology,products,resources etc under a single roof.They offer full time courses and mid term courses.

Lovely place to spend time on weekend with nature. Best place to read books and for cycling. You will get rented bicycle from yaana bicycle sharing services. Best place to capture minuscule pictures ( macro images) during raining time. There are many beautiful Sunflower gardens inside the campus.

Best campus for Agriculture information and knowledge

Gkvk a serene and green place in the midst of concrete jungle which is one of premiere institute in Agricultural research and training. Every year the Krishi Mela (a place and a platform for agricultural and farmers gather for B2B and B2C discussions and trading) is conducted jointly by different government departments in the middle of November every year. Lakhs of farmers from nook and corner of Karnataka to learn and see new things.

Its nice place.. Horticulture greenery.. Nice atmosphere..Plants are nicely segregated as per departments like ornamental aromatic medicinal..Price is also reasonable..Billing process is a little tedious..It all can streamlined..Other wise nice place

It is a pleasant and a great place. I had been here for the KRISHI MELA organised by the government of Karnataka. I could see a many varieties of plants,crops and different species of domestic animals and also the machinery used for agriculture and many updated technology in the field of agriculture.Coming to history here it isThe rulers of Mysore kingdom (The Wodeyars) felt the need to establish research units in the field of agriculture and donated about 30 acres (120,000 m2) of land to set up an Experimental Agricultural Station at Hebbal, and appointed German chemist Lehmann to initiate research on soil crop response with Laboratory in the Directorate of Agriculture around 1900. Later in 1906, Leslie Coleman, a Canadian Entomologist and Mycologist succeeded Lehmann and served for 25 years.What began on a 30-acre (120,000 m2) land in 1899 was soon extended to about 1,300 acres (5.3 km2). The increasing reputation of this experimental station as a training center led to the foundation of the Mysore Agricultural College at Hebbal in 1946 affiliated to the Mysore University. This was soon followed by the Agricultural College at Dharwad in 1947 which was then affiliated to Karnataka University. In 1958, veterinary science as a discipline was started with the establishment of the Veterinary College at Hebbal also affiliated to Mysore University.FormationWith growing impetus given by the Indian Government for the agricultural sector, leading to what has been termed the Green Revolution, many agricultural universities were established throughout the country. The then Mysore State Government through its Act No. 22 passed in 1963 provided for the creation of the University of Agricultural Sciences. The university came into existence on 21 August 1964 with operational jurisdiction over the entire state of Karnataka.The UAS was inaugurated on 21 August 1964 by Vice President of India Zakir Hussain in the presence of Chester Bowles, United States Ambassador to India and S. Nijalingappa, Chief Minister of Karnataka. On 12 July 1969, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi inaugurated GKVK campus.The University included the agricultural colleges at Hebbal and Dharwad, Veterinary College at Hebbal and 35 research stations located in different parts of the state along with 45 ICAR projects which were with the State Department of Agriculture, Horticulture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries. Kullal Chickappu Naik was the first Vice Chancellor of this new university.Later years and growthLater on the Marine Product Processing Training Centre (MPPTC) at Mangalore and Krishi Vignana Kendra, Hanumanamatti, Dharwad were also transferred to the university.The university established the Fisheries College at Mangalore in 1969 to provide degree level training and the Agricultural Engineering Institute at Raichur in the same year to offer a three-year diploma course in Agricultural Engineering. The Home Science College was started to impart education on rural based home science at Dharwad campus in 1974, besides establishing a College of Basic Sciences and Humanities and College of Post Graduate Studies at Hebbal.The phenomenal growth of the university, the differences in agroclimate in the parts of the state, led to the bifurcation of the university into two agricultural universities. An amendment to the University of Agricultural Sciences Act in 1986 saw the birth of the second university for agriculture in the state. The University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore was entrusted territorial jurisdiction over 15 southern districts of Karnataka comprising nearly fifty percent of the total area of the state, while the University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, was given jurisdiction over the remaining area in the northern districts of the state.

This is Our University. One of the best Agriculture University in India

One of the finest institutions in India for higher learning and education which caters to the agricultural, horticultural and allied sciences in India.I have been an old visitor to the campus. My first visit to the institute was to departments of sericulture, moriculture and apiculture. It is here that I learnt about the rearing of bees to collect honey and silkworms for silk. I also learnt about the various fruits and vegetables, their growing seasons, the effect of rain, sunshine and wind to the yield.A must visit for the interested learners.

A vast campus with scenic views.

GKVK is a heaven on earth for natures diversity and an excellent institute for learning

2 days Local Agri Expo in Oct 2013 - a prelude to International Agri Trade Fair was conducted by UAS had useful stalls. The campus about 1000 Acres area is nice and with good effort UAS may achieve taking agri to many persons. A lot of improvement in organisation will be very useful.
