Summary
University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore (UAS Bangalore) is located in Bengaluru, India. It was established in 1964 as UAS Bangalore by a legislative act.
The British government in India, shaken by several famines in India, set up a commission to improve the state of agriculture to reduce the impact of famines.
