Overview
The College of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine (CAVM) was first inaugurated as
the College of Agricultural Sciences in the academic year 1980/1981. At that time
the academic structure included only two departments, namely, the Department of Plant
Production and the Department of Animal Production. In 1995 the college program was
further developed to focus on ‘Arid Land Agriculture’ and ‘Food Science and Nutrition’
by adding the Department of Food Science and Nutrition.
