About Us

The College of Agriculture Business Management started functioning in 2011 and the College of Agriculture was established in 2012 as associate institutes.

Based on an eco-friendly, smoke-free campus with pleasant and pollution-free ambience, the college comes with an ultra modern, well-secured girls hostel.
