University of Agriculture, Faisalabad

The University of Agriculture Faisalabad (UAF), founded in 1906 as the Punjab Agricultural College and Research Institute, Lyallpur, has played a pioneering role in converting barren lands into fertile, food-secure regions during British India’s canal colony era. It was upgraded to West Pakistan Agricultural University in 1961 and renamed UAF in 1973. Since then, it has remained Pakistan’s premier institution in agricultural education, research, and innovation.
