The northern part of West-Bengal is endowed with diverse natural resources like forest, economic plant resources, agro-ecosystem, agro-biodiversity etc. together with an extremely responsive rural communities. It comprises of old alluvial, terai and hill zones distributed in six northern districts of West Bengal viz., Cooch Behar, Jalpaiguri, Darjeeling, Malda, Dakshin Dinajpur and Uttar Dinajpur. The economy of this part of West Bengal is predominantly agrarian in nature and agriculture is characterized by low productivity and subsistence farming with limited number of crops due to inherent soil-climatic and agro-ecological conditions. Thus, generations of improved technologies befitting to the agro-climatic and socio-economic characteristics of this region is an important issue.
Keeping this perspective in view, the State Government established a satellite campus of the State Agriculture University, Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya at Pundibari of Cooch Behar district in 1979. The Indian Council of Agriculture Research accredited the campus and started extending development support since then. A notable change in agricultural and horticultural crops production, productivity and cropping pattern in North Bengal became perspective from late eighties onwards.
Despite inadequate manpower and infrastructural facilities, the research extension and teaching activities at North Bengal campus were note worthy. During late nineties, Post Graduate programme was also started here. With the introduction of National Agriculture Research Project (NARP), Pundibari became the head quarter of the Terai agro-climatic zone of West Bengal. Since then region specific problems had been taken care of by the campus and lots of technologies have been generated through various research programmes.
However, all these were still meager, compared to the desire and need of the farmers. Later, the State Government strengthened this satellite campus of Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya further, and ultimately decided to upgrade this campus to a full- fledged State Agricultural University in July, 2000 covering the entire North Bengal.
The Uttar Banga Krishi Viswavidyalaya was established by West Bengal Act XX of 2000 and startedfunctioning from the 1st February, 2001.
