The Faculty of Agriculture was established in February 1919 and has developed steadily while making great strides in the fields of research and education of agricultural science and technology, including newer areas such as biological control, food science and technology, genetic resources and biotechnology. The Faculty aims at research and education in the development of advanced technology using biological resources for environmental conservation in the 21st century.

We are entering a new era of applied biology supported by a profound understanding of nature and by the advancement of gene manipulation, protein engineering, cell fusion etc, which have not only improved extant biological techniques but also made it possible to design innovative hitherto-unknown methodologies and techniques. Incorporating these into our programs, our research and education cover a broad spectrum of disciplines including biological, chemical, physio-mathematical, social and environmental sciences.

The Faculty now comprises eleven departments and five research and education facilities that include the University Farm, University Forests, Fishery Research Laboratory, Institute of Biological Control and Institute of Genetic Resources. The School of Agriculture comprises four courses. In addition, the Biotron Institute of Tropical Agriculture of University are closely associated with the Faculty.

Each department, assisted by the research and education facilities, offers programs in its specialization both for undergraduate and graduate students.
