Bare Act

The Gujarat Agricultural Universities Act, 2004

The Gujarat Agricultural Universities Act, 2004 repeals previous legislation to establish four distinct agricultural universities across Gujarat: Anand, Junagadh, Navsari, and Sardar Krushinagar Dantiwada. It regulates their territorial jurisdictions, governance structures, academic administration, research activities, extension education, and affiliation of colleges. The law applies to agricultural institutions, faculty, staff, and students within these university zones, as well as state agricultural authorities. By decentralizing agricultural education, research, and field training, this Act strengthens regional focus on local farming challenges, modernizes agricultural technology transfer to farmers, and ensures standardized quality in veterinary, forestry, dairy, and agricultural higher education across Gujarat.
