=={{anchor|Background|Present scenario}}Overview==


== 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, 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, Kathmandu.
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>


== Constituent Campuses ==
The postgraduate program of IAAS was moved to Kathmandu in 2013. Now classes are conducted in RECAST building of TU in Kirtipur. In addition, to RECAST, classes are also going on in some other classrooms of TU. At present, the institute is running Master of Science in Agriculture (M. Sc. Ag.) in seven departments, Master of Science in Animal Science (M.Sc. An. Sc.) in two departments, Master of Veterinary Science (M. V. Sc.) in two departments and also the Ph. D. program in some departments. It has its Ph.D. programs under two plans viz; Plan A and Plan B. Under Plan A, the student has to attend theory and practical classes of relevant subjects offered by the department. However, under Plan B, the student has to conduct research and submit a progress report each semester but, regular classes and practical works are not mandatory. The institute is planning to run its PG program in some other departments also from the academic year 2014/015 (2071/072).
To widen and enhance quality education, the institute has collaborated with TU Central Library, Kirtipur, and students' access to the library has been ensured through inter-institution collaboration. The institute has already donated a sufficient number of valuable reference books related to PG program, and the central library has also committed to purchase and maintain a significant number of necessary books and other publications required for IAAS students. In addition to maintaining its own laboratory equipped with minimum required facilities, the institute has also signed in an agreement with Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC), especially for practical works and research activities of the students. For the successful running of the PG program, the institute has involved a sufficient number of well-experienced and highly professional professors and researchers from the same institute and other government and non-government organizations.
IAAS is progressing towards academic excellencies and struggling to strengthen its academic as well as administrative activities. IAAS got 60 Ropani lands from TU in its premises and planning to construct academic and other buildings in the near future.

==Constituent campuses==


* Rampur Agriculture Campus, Khairahani, Chitwan<ref name=":2" />
With the establishment of AFU at IAAS, Rampur; both the constituent campuses of IAAS, (i.e. Lamjung and Paklihawa campuses) which were running only the initial two-years program out of four-years B.Sc.Ag., have been upgraded to full-fledged B.Sc.Ag. program in 2012. Paklihawa campus is also running five-years B.V.Sc. and A. H. program. Then after, Lamjung campus started to enroll at least 100 students in B.Sc.Ag. and the Paklihawa campus 60 and 40 students, respectively in B.Sc.Ag. and B.V.Sc.and A.H. programs each year. The B.V.Sc. and A.H. program was shifted to Paklihawa campus from Rampur in 2013. Students are mostly selected on merit based on their qualifying exam scores and are offered full scholarships (which includes hostel accommodations) but around 20% of the students accepted have to pay Rs. 100,000 ($1200) to enroll. These constituent campuses are trying their best for academic excellence within the framework of limited resources.
