Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir (SKUAST-K)

SKUAST-Kashmir is one of the leading farm universities in India that caters to North-Western Himalayan hill and mountain agriculture. Since its inception it has been our consistent endeavor to help state in achieving the food and nutritional security imperatives and fulfill the aspirations of various stakeholders. Our broader objectives of creating a competent human resource and provide technology back up and outreach have shaped our activity landscape and we are consistently striving to work for improving overall quality of life encompassing food, nutritional and economic security as well as work towards a broader objective of improved one health (plants, animals, humans, soil and environment). Our achievements have resulted in tangible overall economic benefits to UT at large and J&K has emerged as top performers in farm income and farmer prosperity despite going through unwelcome situations. We are realigning our research priorities in line with farmer’s production constraints and livelihood opportunities to create viable and profitable farming systems in state. SKUAST-K as an institution of higher learning has started an ambitious journey on the path of a progress in terms of students output, research excellence, outreach and overall institutional indicators and we are committed to our broader responsibilities as a socially responsible institution and will continue our efforts towards our mandated goals by creating enabling infrastructure and ecosystem and a pool of competent human resource that will lead us to be a part of fourth industrial revolution that drives technology based solutions to societal issues.
