Message from Special Officer, CoA, Chamarajanagara & Dean Student Welfare

It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you to the College of Agriculture, Chamarajanagar, a constituent institution of the University of Agricultural Sciences, Mandya. Since its establishment in 2018, our college has been committed to nurturing young minds and shaping them into competent, confident and socially responsible agricultural professionals. Situated in a district blessed with diverse agro-climatic conditions, our campus offers a unique environment for experiential learning, innovation and meaningful engagement with farming communities.

Agriculture today is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by technological advancements, climate challenges and the growing need for sustainable food systems. In this dynamic scenario, our primary goal is to equip students with strong scientific knowledge, practical skills and an entrepreneurial mindset. With a team of dedicated faculty, well-established research units and access to the Krishi Vigyan Kendra and AICRP projects on Sorghum and Cotton, students are provided with exceptional opportunities to learn, innovate and apply their knowledge in real-world situations.

We take immense pride in our students, who consistently demonstrate excellence not only in academics but also in sports, cultural activities and community outreach. Their enthusiasm, curiosity and commitment are the driving force behind our continued progress.

As Dean, I believe that education is not merely about earning a degree it is about shaping character, fostering leadership and inspiring service. I invite all aspiring students to join us in our journey toward strengthening agriculture, empowering rural communities and building a brighter, more sustainable future for our nation.
