The State-wise list of centrally controlled/ administered Agricultural Universities/ colleges is placed at Annexure.
The agriculture including agricultural education is a state subject, therefore, state governments establish agriculture universities/colleges as per their requirement.
Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has developed ‘ICAR Model Act (Revised 2023)’ for Higher Agricultural Educational Institutions in India and ‘Minimum Requirements for Establishing the Agricultural Colleges’.
There is no such proposal to open an agricultural school in the aspirational district of Sirohi. However, Sirohi district has 01 Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) which provides skill development trainings to farmers including local youth.
Agricultural education, being the State subject, the State Governments have their own policies and guidelines to promote private universities and colleges. ICAR only provides accreditation to agricultural colleges and universities based on their demand. During last five years, number of private accredited agriculture colleges increased from 05 (2020-21) to 22 (2024-25) in the country.
This information was given by Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Shri Bhagirath Choudhary in a written reply in Lok Sabha today.
