Historical Background

The establishment of Farm Universities in India was strongly recommended by expert committees to integrate education, research, and extension activities in agriculture and allied fields. This vision led to the creation of the Andhra Pradesh Agricultural University in 1964. Over time, several institutions and research centers were incorporated into its structure. Following the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh in 2014, the Professor Jayashankar Telangana  Agricultural University (PJTAU) was established to serve the specific needs of the farming community of Telangana.
