== History == |
|||
IAAS was founded in [[Kathmandu]] in 1957 as a school of agriculture to train junior technical assistants. In 1968, the school was upgraded to a college of agriculture. Four years later it became affiliated with Tribhuvan University (TU), and moved to [[Bharatpur, Nepal|Rampur, Chitwan]] in 1974. The institute's mission is to provide higher education in agriculture and agricultural development, focusing on teaching, research, and [[continuing education]]. The government of Nepal established the Agriculture and Forestry University (AFU) in Rampur in 2010, and AFU took over IAAS' physical plant and other assets. The IAAS dean's office moved to Kathmandu in 2011 and continues its programs and activities at satellite offices in [[Sanepa]], [[Lalitpur, Nepal|Lalitpur]] and [[Kirtipur]]. |
|||
IAAS was established in 1959 AD under [[Tribhuvan University]] as one of the technical institute at Rampur, Chitwan. Later constituent Campuses were established in Lamjung, Paklihawa and Jhapa respectively. Currently the central campus Rampur Campus is situated in Khairahani, Chitwan.<ref>{{Cite web |title=कृषि तथा वनविज्ञानमा भर्ना लिने त्रिविको तयारीप्रति आपत्ति |url=https://www.onlinekhabar.com/2016/05/432919 |access-date=2023-10-16 |website=Online Khabar |language=en-US}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=५० वर्षपछि अस्तित्व जोगाउन भौँतारिँदै रामपुर क्याम्पस |url=https://www.nayapatrikadaily.com/news-details/96240/2022-09-20 |access-date=2023-10-16 |website=Naya Patrika |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=त्यो भव्य रामपुर क्याम्पस, अहिले आफ्नो भवन पनि छैन |url=http://ekantipur.com/pradesh-3/2022/08/08/165993570615484745.html |access-date=2023-10-16 |website=ekantipur.com |language=ne}}</ref> |

The institute's postgraduate program was moved to Kathmandu in 2013, and classes are conducted in TU's Research Centre for Applied Science and Technology (RECAST) building in Kirtipur and other TU classrooms. It has a Master of Science in Agriculture (M. Sc. Ag.) program in seven departments, Master of Science in Animal Science (M.Sc. An. Sc.) and Master of Veterinary Science (M. V. Sc.) programs in two, and two Ph.D. programs (Plan A and Plan B) in several departments. In Plan A, students attend theory and practical classes in relevant subjects offered by the department. In Plan B, students conduct research and submit a progress report each semester; classes and practical work are not mandatory. |

The institute has collaborated with the TU central library in Kirtipur, and student access to the library has been ensured. It has donated a number of postgraduate reference books, and the library has committed to obtain books and other publications required by IAAS students. In addition to maintaining its laboratory, the institute has signed in an agreement with the Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC) for student practical work and research activities. The institute has involved TU professors and researchers and other governmental and non-governmental organizations. |
