This creative and innovative university was founded by the great national leader, Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya, in 1916 with cooperation of great personalities like Dr. Annie Besant, who viewed it as the University of India. The University has two campuses, the main campus being at Varanasi and the south campus located in the district Mirzapur. The south campus of the university known as Rajiv Gandhi South Campus (RGSC), Barkachha in Mirzapur district, covering an area of 2700 acres is coming up. The university comprises 3 Institutes, 14 Faculties, 140 Departments, 04 Interdisciplinary Centers, A Constituent College for women and 3 Constituent Schools, spanning a vast range of subjects pertaining to all the branches of humanities, social science, technology, medicine, science, fine arts and performing arts. Ever since the creation of the Institute of Agricultural Research in 1931 the Institute of Agricultural Sciences has been rendering unique service to the country in the areas of teaching, research and extension of Agricultural Sciences and technological advancements in this field. It was established as Institute of Agricultural Research in 1931 and became the Institute of Agricultural Sciences in 1980. Starting with only 03 teachers in 1931, the Institute now has 135 teachers and scientists. The Institute is providing training not only to the UG & PG students but is also providing improved technology and technological inputs such as quality seeds, saplings, organic manures etc. to the farming community of the region. The Krishi Vigyan Kendra under the administrative control of the University was established to the year 1984 at village Barkachha in Mirzapur district and started full-fledged functioning from 1987 onwards. Presently the KVK is not only performing its mandatory work but is also involved in teaching of the undergraduate students of agriculture at Rajiv Gandhi South Campus of the University. Thus, it is directly associated with agricultural education as well as extension of the improved agricultural techniques helping both of its clienteles, i.e. students and farmers. It is perhaps the first KVK in the country which is efficiently bridging the gap between the academia and practitioners of agriculture.
