Sri Karan Narendra Agriculture University, commonly known as SKN Agriculture University, is a public agricultural university at Jobner in Rajasthan. It was established by the Government of Rajasthan on 14 September 2013 under the Agriculture University, Jobner Act to strengthen teaching, research and extension in agriculture and allied sectors. The university inherited the academic legacy of SKN College of Agriculture, Jobner, whose roots reach back to an Anglo-Vedic school founded in 1893 and which became an agricultural college in 1947. Today the university forms part of India’s National Agricultural Research System and serves a large territory across eastern and north-eastern Rajasthan. Its jurisdiction covers multiple agro-climatic zones, ranging from semi-arid plains to flood-prone eastern areas, making location-specific agricultural research a central responsibility. The university operates constituent colleges, agricultural research stations, research substations and Krishi Vigyan Kendras, while also affiliating colleges that deliver undergraduate agricultural education. Academic programmes include undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral study in agriculture and allied sciences, with additional activity in dairy technology and agribusiness management. The Rajasthan Agricultural Research Institute at Durgapura is a major research component, while the historic Jobner college remains the principal teaching campus for advanced agricultural study. Research priorities include climate resilience, soil and water management, crop improvement, plant protection, horticulture, seed systems, farm technology and resource-efficient production. Through extension, field demonstrations and KVK activity, university scientists connect research outputs with farmers and rural communities. SKNAU’s combination of long agricultural-education heritage and a newer university structure gives it a role in developing skilled human resources and technologies for Rajasthan’s diverse farming systems. The university’s territorial mandate covers millions of hectares and villages, so its research agenda is connected with farm problems rather than laboratory work alone. Field testing, extension education and farmer training are essential parts of the system used to evaluate and disseminate technologies developed by university scientists.
