The College of Agriculture is the oldest and the largest of the six constituent colleges of Punjab Agricultural University. The college was originally established in 1906 as Punjab Agricultural College and Research Institute, Lyallpur (now Faisalabad, Pakistan). The College was established at its present site in July, 1957. The college imparts quality education, generates unmatched research output and reaches out to the peasantry through a large network of 10 departments/schools (Departments of Agronomy, Climate Change & Agricultural Meteorology, Entomology, Extension Education, Food Science & Technology, Plant Breeding & Genetics, Plant Pathology, Soil Science, School of Agricultural Biotechnology and School of Organic Farming). The college strives to achieve its mission through its team of 259 highly competent and well-qualified faculty members and state-of-the-art infrastructure. Well-equipped experiential learning units of the college help produce job providing, rather than job seeking, graduates. The college has thus far contributed around 7204 well-trained graduates to the human resource pool of agriculture and allied sectors. Many alumni of the college have risen to exalted positions - Vice Chancellor (44), Chairman Agricultural Scientists Recruitment Board (4), Director General ICAR (1), Director General Civil Aviation (1), Agriculture Commissioner (5) and Horticulture Commissioner (2). Our alumni have been honoured with prestigious International and national awards viz. World Food Prize (2), Padma Bhushan (7) and Padma Shri (11). The college received the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry Award in 1977 in recognition of its outstanding contribution to the field of agriculture.
