Sprawling across a monumental 10,000 acre green campus in the fertile Terai plains of Udham Singh Nagar district, the G B Pant University of Agriculture and Technolog (GBPUAT) in Pantnagar is celebrated as the cradle of India's Green Revolution in Uttarakhand. Inaugurated on November 17, 1960, by India's first Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru as the Uttar Pradesh Agricultural University, it became the country's very first agricultural university modeled on the American land grant university system.
Renamed in 1972 in honor of Bharat Ratna Govind Ballabh Pant, the premier institution spearheaded pioneering agronomic research and high yield seed propagation under Nobel laureate Dr. Norman Borlaug. The sprawling academic campus houses specialized faculties for agriculture, veterinary sciences, technology, and agribusiness management.
Visitors and researchers explore the expansive crop research farm plots, livestock breeding centers, botanical gardens, and the university agricultural museum. Wide tree lined boulevards, peaceful ponds, and seasonal flower exhibitions make the campus a landmark of national pride.
