The majority of population in our country depends on Agriculture for their livelihood. To improve the livelihood of rural people and to increase the agricultural production, the Acharya N.G. Ranga Agricultural University (ANGRAU), which is one of the prestigious Agricultural Universities in the country, is striving hard to provide quality service to state of Andhra Pradesh through Teaching, Research and Extension. ANGRAU has been honoured twice with the Best Institute Award by Indian Council Of Agricultural Research (ICAR) for its overall outstanding performance among all the State Agricultural Universities in the country and it has also been honored twice with the All India Performance Award of ICAR which is given for bagging maximum number of Junior Research Fellowships ( JRFs) and Senior Research Fellowships ( SRFs).

The University through its 48 Research Stations spread over nine agro-climatic zones of the state is making intensive efforts to increase agricultural production by developing improved varieties and sustainable technologies such as IPM, INM, SRI, Precision farming etc. So far the University has developed 371 varieties / hybrids in different crops and these varieties have been extensively adopted by the farmers of the state and also in the neighboring states. In fact twenty five per cent of the rice area cultivated in the country is under varieties developed by ANGRAU.

Transfer of Technology to the farmers is the integrated part of University mandate. University has efficient network of extension units like DAATTC (22) and KVKs (16) located across the state and Agricultural Information and communication Centre, Electronic Media Wing, Agricultural Technology and Information Centre located at the University main campus. The University Scientists provide advisory services to farmers through diagnostic field visits, Kisan Melas, Rythusadassus and testing of technologies in the farmers fields.
