Objectives of AAS ‘The Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAS) is one among the five technical institutes under Tribhuvan University, Nepal. The mission of IAAS is to train competent manpower in agriculture and allied disciplines, and to promote research, development and technology dissemination in agriculture. The objectives of IAAS are as follows: ‘+ To design and implement educational programs in agriculture in order to obtain’ an appropriate balance among established and emerging needs of the agricultural sector in Nepal. + To promote excellence in instruction, research and technology dissemination in agriculture, To develop technically competent agricultural graduates ready to apply the knowledge and skills in technical agriculture, agricultural extension, agricultural education, agribusiness and agricultural and rural development programs. * To encourage and support faculty members and students for research and scholarly activities relevant to the needs of Nepalese agriculture and farmers ‘+ To foster students self-development, commitment and responsibility for the welfare of Nepalese society. 2. History of Development ‘The Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAS) began as @ School of Agriculture under the Ministry of Agriculture in 1957 to train Junior Technical Assistants TAs) in agriculture. In 1968, the school was upgraded to College of Agriculture and a two- year Intermediate of Agricultural Science (LSc.Ag,) program was started. In 1972, the College of Agriculture was given the status of the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science under Tribhuvan University. Until that time, the institute did not have its own buildings and facilities and was operated at Jagdamba Bhawan at Pulchok in Kathmand. In 1974, the institute was relocated from Kathmandu to its present site at Rampur in Chitwan district where 110 hectares of land, buildings and facilities of then Panchayat Training Center were endowed tothe institute. Later in 1978, 125 hectares of livestock farm under Ministry of Agriculture was handed over to TAS for teaching. At present the institute has three campuses. The Rampur Campus, which is the main Campus located at Rampur, Chitwan district, other two campuses are the Lamjung Campus, located at Sundar Bazar, Lamjung established in 1975 and Paklihawa Campus located at Bhairahawa, Rupandehi distri established in 1978. At present, the institute offers a B.Sc. Agriculture (Bachelor of Science in Agriculture), B.V.Se.& A. (Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry), ‘MSc. Agriculture, MSc Animal Science and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) programs at Rampur Campus. The other two campuses also offer initial two years of B.Se. Agriculture course. The IAAS was started witha few permanent faculty positions in 1972, however, now it implements teaching, research and extension programs through a core of aver 150 trained and dedicated faculty members at its campuses.3.
