The Department of Dairy Science & Technology was established in 1949 with undergraduate classes in B.Sc Agriculture with a view to impart quality education to the coming generations. It encompasses all aspects of Dairy Science — from Production to Consumption — with special empahsis on teaching and research, and partly on activities. The department is fully supported by the Government of Uttar Pradesh. The department has passed a long journey under the able leadership of Shri P.S. Malik (1960-1964), Shri S.S. Bhati (1964-1973), Dr. P.S. Malik (1973-1989), Dr. G.S. Lavania (1989-1997) and Dr. K.P.S. Sangu (1997 onwards).

Currently, the department is engaged in...
*Offering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes
