Overview

To perform the various agricultural activities, the state Government (Mumbai state)

established research farm in 1955 at Waghai in Dangs district and was initially under the

control of State Agriculture Department. It was transferred to erstwhile Gujarat

Agricultural University in 1972 and to the Navsari Agricultural University in 2004. The

whole is located at two different places located 4 km from each other. One is

situated on the left side of road to Ahwa in village Rajendrapur, 200 m from Waghai

village circle. The total area is about 13.47 hectares.Agricultural schooling started in Dangs in 1985-86 which was later upgraded to the

Polytechnic in Agriculture cooperation and marketing in 2010-11 and thereafter to Polytechnic in Agriculture from 2014-15. However, there was no facility of higher education based specially on Agriculture and allied fields. This was more needed particularly for sons and daughters of poor tribals, small and marginal farmers who could ill afford to send their wards to far off places in Gujarat or outside the state. Hence, there was a strong need to establish an institute which can cater to the educational need of tribal population with respect to Agriculture and allied fields in particular.Agricultural schooling started in Dangs in 1985-86 which was later upgraded to the
