Agricultural College

About

Andhra Pradesh is predominantly an agricultural State with 70% of the population depending on agriculture for their livelihood. Agriculture not only provides food, fodder and industrial raw material but also serves as the largest sector of employment contributing 45% of State’s income. The Agricultural prosperity of the State is the result of continuous and collective endeavour of several agencies and institutions among which the Agricultural College, Bapatla can claim its legitimate place.

From the time Andhra University carved out, there was a persistent demand for opening of college of Agriculture in Andhra area. The college owes its inception much to the earnestness and dynamism of Sir S V Ramamurthi, ICS, Advisor to the Governor of the erstwhile Madras State, in-charge of Agriculture portfolio. With the launching of many agricultural projects and “Grow More Food Campaign” in post-second World War reconstruction era, an urgent need was felt to have more agricultural graduates the Agricultural College, Coimbatore could then turn out.
