Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Solan Act, 1985

Environmental198557 sections

This law establishes a dedicated state university in Solan, Himachal Pradesh, focused specifically on horticulture and forestry. It regulates university governance, academic standards, budgets, and the transfer of staff, research stations, and property from Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishva Vidyalaya. The Act applies to university officers, teachers, administrative employees, registered students, and regional research centers throughout the state. It matters because it separates horticulture and forestry education from general agriculture, creating a specialized institution to advance scientific research, modern orchard management, woodland conservation, and rural farming livelihoods through statewide academic degrees and direct community extension training.
