The College of Agriculture, Hassan - University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore is located in Hittalaladahalli, Karnataka. The university has a rich historical legacy dating back to 1899, when it began as a small agricultural research farm on 30 acres of land donated by Maharani Kempa Nanjammanni Vani Vilasa Sannidhiyavaru, the Regent of Mysore. Initially, Dr. Lehmann, a German scientist, was appointed to conduct research on soil crop response with a laboratory in the Directorate of Agriculture.

Under the initiative of Dewan of Mysore Sir M. Vishweshwaraiah, the Mysore Agriculture Residential School was established in 1913 at Hebbal, initially offering a Licentiate in Agriculture and later a diploma program in agriculture during 1920. The institution evolved significantly, being upgraded to an Agriculture College in 1946 that offered four-year degree programs in Agriculture. A pivotal moment came in 1963 when the Government of Mysore, led by Chief Minister Sri S. Nijalingappa, established the University of Agricultural Sciences following the Land Grant College system of the USA.

The university was officially inaugurated by Dr. Zakir Hussain, the Vice President of India, on August 21, 1964. Its core mission is to bring about significant improvements in rural life, transform agricultural production methods, and provide a new vision and hope to rural communities. On October 1, 1965, the University of Agricultural Sciences was formally established, incorporating Colleges of Agriculture at Hebbal and Dharwad, a Veterinary College, 35 research stations across the state, and 45 ICAR schemes from various agricultural departments.
