The university is the country's first technical university that offers agricultural workforce development and promotes research in agriculture, forestry, and allied disciplines through teaching, research, and extension programs across the country. The soul aim of the university is to produce mainpower for agriculture and forest industry.[8][9]
Agriculture and Forestry University (AFU) was established as a result of a bill enacted by the Nepalese Parliament in June 2010 authorizing the creation of three new universities at campuses owned by Tribhuvan University. The Rampur Agriculture Campus, associated with the Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science and the Forestry Campus, Hetauda, associated with the Institute of Forestry were designated as campuses for the new university. As of February 2015, Tribhuvan University had refused to transfer ownership of the campuses to the new university, citing its autonomy from the Nepalese legislature.[10]
