Rampur Campus is the first agriculture college under Tribhuvan University’s Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS). It was initially established in 1972 AD at Jagadamba Bhawan in Pulchowk, Lalitpur. In 1974, the campus was relocated to Rampur, Chitwan, with 110 hectares of land and a few buildings, which expanded to 235 hectares by 1978. Located about 10 kilometers south of Bharatpur, the campus has grown into a recognized center of excellence in agricultural education, research, and technology transfer.
Rampur Campus plays a key role in preparing skilled professionals in agriculture, animal science, veterinary science, and other related fields. The mission of the campus is to train competent manpower in agriculture and allied disciplines while promoting research, innovation, and the dissemination of agricultural technologies to meet Nepal’s growing needs.
Over the decades, graduates from Rampur Campus have made remarkable contributions across sectors. From ministries and government departments to academic institutions, NGOs, and international organizations, alumni from Rampur Campus have consistently led and influenced agricultural development and policymaking in Nepal.
