'''Anand Agricultural University''' ('''AAU''') is located in the western [[India]]n state of [[Gujarat]] between the cities of [[Vadodara]] and [[Ahmedabad]].

It has three constituent colleges, for agriculture, veterinary science and animal husbandry and dairy science. The jurisdiction of the university covers [[Kheda]], [[Anand, Gujarat|Anand]], [[Ahmedabad]], [[Vadodara]], [[Dahod]] and [[Panchmahal]] districts. It was set up to provide education support to the farming community in areas such as [[Agriculture]], [[Horticulture]], [[Engineering]], [[Information technology]] and [[Business Studies]].<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Anand Agricultural University was previously a part of [[Gujarat Agricultural University]], a benchmark project initiated by [[Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel]] and [[K.M munsi]] by incorporating Krushi-Go-Vidhya Bhavan or the Institute of Agriculture, in 1938. The institute was popularly known as Khetiwadi; it became part of [[Gujarat Agricultural University]] in 1972.<br />
<br />
The B. A. College of Agriculture, established in 1947, was initially affiliated to [[Bombay University]] until 1956, followed by [[Gujarat University]] until 1962 and [[Sardar Patel University]] along with the Sheth M.C College of Dairy Science. In 1972 they became integral institutions of [[Gujarat Agricultural University]] along with the Government [[College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Anand]], which was established in 1964. The activities of the Anand zone of the erstwhile [[Gujarat Agricultural University]] have been transferred to the Anand Agricultural University with effect from 2004.<br />
