The Department of Agriculture was established at the centre in 1877 followed by setting of similar departments by the provinces. It was soon realised that research and education are the very foundations for the development of agriculture. Mahatma Jyotiba Phule, the noted thinker, social reformer and agriculturist of Pune appealed to the British Government to set institutions for agricultural education and research in India. This led to the opening of a branch for teaching agriculture in the College of Science at Pune in 1879 that was subsequently developed into a separate College of Agriculture in 1907. Initially three year diploma of the Bombay University was offered. In 1899 a degree course leading to Licentiate in Agriculture(L.Ag.) was started. The Bombay University in the year 1909, further extended the scope of these studies, raised the standards and instituted the degree of Bachelor of Agriculture (B.Ag.) Its nomenclature was changed to Bachelor of Science in Agriculture B.Sc.(Ag), and the first batch of graduate with this degree passed out in 1937.
The College of Agriculture, Pune is one of the first five agriculture Colleges established in India. From its very inception, there has been a close co-ordination between research and teaching. After establishment of Maharashtra Agricultural University in the year 1968 , the College of Agriculture, Pune was transferred to the University as a constituent College. In 1969, the College was transferred to the Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth (Agricultural University), Rahuri established in that year. The B.Sc.(Hort) degree programme was started in the year 1984. The University headquarters are located in Rahuri, Dist.Ahmednagar 160 km to the north of Pune.
