Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya

Chaudhary Sarwan Kumar Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya at Palampur, established in 1978, is Himachal Pradesh's state agricultural university, recognised by the ICAR and the Veterinary Council, and its specialism is genuinely distinctive: agriculture adapted to mountain conditions. Teaching and research revolve around hill farming systems — from crop science to veterinary and animal husbandry — making it the natural destination for students targeting agricultural research, extension services and allied government careers in the Himalayan states. It holds an A grade from NAAC. The campus sits in the Kangra valley beneath the Dhauladhar range, a setting as pleasant as any Indian university enjoys, with fees at modest state levels. It suits students committed to agricultural and veterinary sciences, particularly those from hill states who intend to work within the region's farm economy and public institutions.
