Historical AccountM E M O I R S

Dr. J. A. Voelcker

Lord Morley

In early British rule, the growth and improvement of agriculture were not being pursued under a definite

policy. However, gradual increase in population pressure on land resulted in the restructuring of land relations and steady expansion of cultivated area. Consequently, a separate Department of Agriculture was created in 1871 in the country. Subsequently, agricultural departments were also set up at the provincial level. The great devastating famine of 1876-78 had taken a heavy toll of the population. A Famine Commission was appointed in 1880. The commission made several recommendations for development of agriculture. The resolution of the Government of India during December 1881 defined the functions of the Provincial Agricultural Departments as an agricultural enquiry for improvement and famine relief. Statistical enquiries and management of famine relief became the primary concerns of the department and the subject of agriculture was combined with land reforms and settlement work. However, the first serious attempt to form a policy of agricultural research was made in 1889 by Dr. J. A. Voelcker, a Consultant Chemist to the Royal Agricultural Society. The first attempt at higher

education level was the opening of Agricultural Schools at Coimbatore, Poona and Cawnpore in 1878, 1890 and 1893, respectively.

Considering the severity of famine, Viceroy Lord Curzon thought that India requires more attention on development of agriculture. The year of inception of agricultural education in the State of Uttar Pradesh was 1893, when not far from the spot where now stands the stately building of the college, there, nestling among huge trees and surrounded by thick forest, was a small and somewhat odd looking building, which did serve for what was the first School of Agriculture in the State Government for training Revenue Officers (Quanungos). Out of that school with bare 25 seats has sprung the present institution. This led to the government of India to take the decision to start agricultural education in the country. Accordingly, four places were selected in 1905 covering the entire country for establishing four agricultural schools. First school was opened in Lyallpur (now known as Faisalabad in Pakistan) of undivided Punjab (having five rivers) in North India, second in Cawnpore (Kanpur) for meeting the requirements of Central India, third in Coimbatore for meeting the requirements of South India and fourth in Pune for meeting the requirements of Southern plateau. However, agricultural education at Kanpur was started by elevating the status of the school (already established in 1893) to Cawnpore Agricultural College. Thus, a three years course in agriculture for students having matriculation with some experience in agriculture was started in the year 1906 and the diploma of “Licentiate in Agriculture” (L. Ag.) began to be awarded.

The superior staff proposed at each of these provincial institutions comprised of an expert Agriculturist, an Economic Botanist, an Agricultural Chemist, an Entomologist, and a Mycologist and one of the members of this staff discharged the duties of the principal of the college. The staff was to combine teaching with research. It was held that research would ordinarily be more active and better

sustained, if associated with lecturing as this would check any tendency to the investigation of problems unlikely to lead to practical results. To enable the experts to carry out research and to tour, an adequate number of assistants and demonstrators were to be provided. They would also assist in the teaching so that the time of the experts might not be wasted in elementary tuition.

To direct the work, civilian directors were appointed in all the larger provinces. Nevertheless, the expansion of staff was not as rapid as was anticipated. The view was taken that the backbone of the scheme was the educational aspect, and the establishment sanctioned for each of the provinces was limited to an all-round Agriculturist as principal of the college, an Agricultural Botanist and an Agricultural Chemist. In the words of Lord Morley, the creation of provincial colleges having the above-mentioned staff would remain a primary feature of the scheme.

Muzaffarpur (Bihar); Ranchi (Bihar)

Salt affected soils occur extensively in arid and semi arid regions in different agro-ecological zones of the country, as a consequence of hydro-geochemical conditions. Research on nature and reclamation of usar soils in Uttar Pradesh have been carried out since long, a

thmention of which is noticeable even in the British memoirs of 19 century. It was reported that in the state of UP (then United Province) 2alone, an area of about 10,000-12,000 km was affected with salinity. The complaint about the development of salinity was made in the

Munak area of Karnal district in 1855, which prompted authorities of irrigation and revenue departments to send soil and water samples to Royal Mineralogical Laboratories of Dr. J. Percy and Mr. W.J. Ward, England for analysis. Analytical report that appeared in 1865, could not establish the cause of formation of these soils but emphatically stated that there could be no doubt that 'reh' is great and increasing evil, which should, if possible, be cured and its further spread prevented. Similar situation was experienced simultaneously in command area of Ganga canal of Uttar Pradesh commissioned in 1850, Deccan canal commissioned in 1884 and further during the year 1918 when Punjab canals became operative in West Pakistan.

Agricultural research in the state nucleated as early as 1883 when a permanent manurial experiment was started at Kanpur to compare relative efficacy of organic manures against inorganic fertilizers on maize and wheat.

By the establishment of colleges, it was clear that apart from teaching there was an enormous amount of experimentation and research to be done if agriculture was to be improved. Officers are necessary from the superintendents of farms for experimentation and for the supervision of demonstrations and seed distribution. The duties of such officers could not be carried out satisfactorily by the experts who are tied down to their headquarters for teaching duties. To meet this desideratum, Deputy Directors were appointed. The importance of a staff of Entomologists and Mycologists for the larger provinces was again emphasized. The addition of Entomologists and Mycologists was, however, considered by the Secretary of the State to be premature, as it was thought that the Imperial Entomologist and the Mycologist could undertake important investigations for the provinces and could train Indian assistants.

In 1901, Lord Curzon appointed Agricultural Superintendent General for monitoring the directives of the new agricultural policy and controlling the situation. Lord Curzon's Viceroyalty marks the beginning of a new era of growth for agricultural departments both at the Centre and Province levels

thand the despatch of the government of India of 4 June, 1903 provided its key-note. In 1905, the Government of India decided to set apart annually Rs. 2 million to assist to improve the agricultural research, demonstration and education in the province. At this stage, a full time Director of Agriculture was appointed. The province was divided into a suitable number of circles and each circle was to have an experimental farm on the basis of regional differences of soil and climate under a Deputy Director of Agriculture. These farms were also to function as depots for seeds, manures and implements. With the annual grant of Rs. 2 million, it was contemplated to establish, in each important province, an agricultural college and research station adequately equipped with laboratories and classrooms, to which would be attached a farm of suitable size.

The Cawnpore Experimental Farm was, however, exceptional. Voelcker noted that several kinds of implements were manufactured and sold yearly. In 1888-89, 84 ploughs ('Watts” and “Kaisar”), 22 pumps, 24 corn-grinders (costing Rs 25 each) and 8 chaff-cutters, were sold at the Cawnpore Farm. Sometime implements were given out for conducting trials, but most were sold outright. The pump sold here was known as the “Cawnpore pump”. It was a kind of chain pump, admirably suited for raising the water table, the depth of which below the surface did not exceed 20 feet (6.1m). The pump had considerable success in the neighbourhood, though it hardly came within the raiyat's means; the prices were, for depths from 3 to 10 feet (0.9 to 3m) Rs.; 40; for a depth of 15 feet (4.6m) Rs. 45; and for a depth of 20 feet (6.1m) Rs. 50. This pump was an adaptation from the one brought by Sir Edward Buck from Australia.

J. W. Leather (1900), the then Imperial Agricultural Chemist, deserves to be called the first chemist to initiate systematic study on the soils in Uttar Pradesh. Based on voluminous and pioneering research work, of immense practical value carried out on salt affected soils by the erstwhile Agricultural chemist to Govt. of U.P. and at present by C. S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur.

Research work on crop improvement started with the establishment of the unit of Economic Botanist (Rabi Cereals) in 1904, which was the first post of Economic Botanist in the Country along with the same E.B. (Rabi Cereals) in Lyallpur (now in Pakistan). It provided a sound base for systematic research on wheat improvement. While the work on Plant Protection was started in the section of Entomology in 1906 for research work on cotton pink bollworm.

In 1913, the Quanungo classes were separated from the agricultural course and in 1914, in lieu of three-year course, a four years course was introduced. In 1926, the Board of High School and Intermediate Education, Allahabad recognized the first two years of the four-year courses as Intermediate Diploma in Agriculture. Subsequently, in 1930, Agra University recognized the four-year course equivalent to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Agriculture.

Historical Account

M E M O I R S

The M.Sc. classes were introduced, for the first time, in Uttar Pradesh in 1944-45 in Agricultural Botany and Entomology. M.Sc. (Ag.) classes in other subjects were started in subsequent years. Research work leading to the award of the Ph.D. degree was also carried out under the guidance of Professors and Scientists in subsequent years. With the establishment of Kanpur University in 1965, the affiliation of college changed from Agra to Kanpur University.

In 1965, a committee comprising of representatives of ICAR and Universities with Dr. Dharampal Singh, the then Principal, Government Agricultural College, Kanpur as Chairman, was set up to study the working of Agricultural Institutions in the State. On the recommendations of this committee, the three years B.Sc. (Ag.) degree course was introduced in the agricultural colleges. This committee also felt the need of improving the quality of agricultural education by bringing about integration between teaching, research and extension education through reorganization and modernization of agricultural programmes on the pattern of Agricultural Universities. Therefore, the State Government decided to upgrade the Government Agricultural College, Kanpur to the status of U.P. Institute of Agricultural Sciences during 1969 by integrating teaching, research and extension education. Five positions of Senior Research Professors viz. Professor of Agronomy, Soils and Agricultural Chemistry, Entomology, Plant Pathology and Genetics and Plant Breeding, were created and appointments on these posts, except Senior Research Professor (Genetics and Plant Breeding), were made on 23 November, 1969. Thereafter, these posts were

th abolished on 18 March, 1971 and posts of Professor and Heads were created. On the recommendations of the High Level Committee constituted by the State Government, the Institute was reorganized in 1970 with the following objectives-

1. By reorganization of UP Institute of Agricultural Sciences shall impart higher education, both at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, in different branches of agricultural sciences, including animal husbandry and such allied branches of learning and scholarship which the institute may deem to be necessary to improve standards of agricultural education and research.

2. The institute shall pursue research in agriculture and animal husbandry, both of fundamental and applied natures, with a view to earn new knowledge for enrichment of its educational programmes as well as for solution of production problems in agriculture.

3. It will also undertake the dissemination of such knowledge and techniques to the rural people of the State, in general and of Kanpur region, in particular. It shall arrange extension-training programme for speedy transfer of new knowledge and techniques to primary producers as well as to their trainers.

The institution, thus had above three main functions of teaching, research and extension education. All the research units of State Department of Agriculture were then transferred to the Institute.

The committee also considered ideas that the Institute should be a nucleus for a second agriculture university of the State. Till, its conversion into an Agriculture University in 1975, the Institute continued as Government Institute under UP Government. The teaching, research and extension education activities of the Institute were used to be carried out through different divisions as per the recommendations of the above committee.

The Institute continued to be affiliated with the Kanpur University. The State Government set up another committee in 1973 with Dr. Dhyan Pal Singh, then Vice Chancellor, G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, as Chairman with representatives of the Planning Commission, ICAR, Directors of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, UP Government; Director U.P. Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Kanpur, Principals of Agricultural Institute, Allahabad and R.B.S. College, Agra as members. The committee was given comprehensive terms of reference, namely, to study the existing organizational structure of agricultural education and research in the State and to suggest modifications and ways and means for improvement. The committee recommended that for speedy development of technology and its quick transfer to a vast number of farmers, it is necessary to establish two more Agricultural Universities in the state, besides Pantnagar, i.e., one at Kanpur and another at Faizabad with their separate areas of responsibilities. Consequently, in 1975,

the Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, came into being by an Act of legislation, UP Act XI-V of 1958. The Act was later amended under UP Universities Re-enactment and Amendment Act 1972. The University was

thdedicated to the Nation on 17 November, 1975. The U.P. Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Kanpur and its all research units were made the constituent units of this University with headquarters at Kanpur. The various divisions of UP Institute of Agricultural Sciences were renamed as Departments in the College of Agriculture of the University. The degrees of undergraduate and postgraduate students of the college of Agriculture continued to be affiliated to Kanpur University till 1977.
