The Allahabad Agricultural Institute is a university in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. It was established in 1910 under the leadership of Dr. Sam Higginbottom, as an ecumenical institution of the Christian churches and church organizations in India.
The first phase of the Institute was its establishment, development of appropriate training courses and training programs. Informal classes began in the fall of 1912 and it was during this period from 1912 to 1919 that the Institute faced a time of uncertainty. Diploma in Farm Machinery and Dairying were started in 1923, then a Degree in Agriculture in 1932, followed by a Degree in Agricultural Engineering in 1943.
On 15 March 2000 India's central government declared the Allahabad Agricultural Institute a deemed university. The University Grants Commission (UGC) identifies Allahabad as a deemed university with agriculture as its field of specialization.[Pallavi Singh, [http://www.indianexpress.com/story/284719.html St Stephen's acting principal Thampu's PhD fails UGC test] , "Indian Express", March 15, 2008] The university offers 34 undergraduate programs, 7 undergraduate level diploma programs, 58 post graduate programs, 6 post graduate level diploma programs, 2 certificate courses and doctorates in various disciplines.]Theology programs
Theology programs offered by AAI are not among the offerings authorized by the UGC.[ In March 2008, Valsan Thampu, the Principal of St. Stephen's College was required to tender his resignation when his PhD in theology from Allahabad was declared by UGC not to be "a recognised qualification for appointment in a teaching job in any university and college" in India.]References
