Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT) came in to existence as the second Agricultural University, on 24th August, 1962 through an act passed by the Orissa Legislative Assembly. Under the USAID programme, OUAT developed linkages with the University of Missouri and Mississipi, a Land Grant University of the US, to strengthen its teaching, research and extension programmes. At present, the University has 8 constituent colleges. The University has separate wings for Research, Extension Education and Planning, Monitoring & Evaluation.
