Gorakhpur: The Government of Uttar Pradesh has approved the establishment of a Forestry and Horticulture University in Gorakhpur. This will be the first university in the state to promote higher education and research in subjects related to forests, the environment, and horticulture.
According to the proposal, the university will be constructed on approximately 50 hectares of land in the Campierganj area. A modern educational infrastructure will be developed here, including classrooms, laboratories, research centers, and administrative buildings.
The university will offer undergraduate, postgraduate, and research (PhD) level courses. Additionally, specialized diploma courses related to forestry, wildlife conservation, environmental science, climate change, natural resource management, and horticulture will also be launched.
Facilities such as hostels for students, residential facilities for teachers, a library, a playground, and other basic amenities will be developed on the campus. The university will provide students from the Purvanchal region and across the state with new opportunities for environment-based education and employment.
This project is considered a significant step towards the educational and economic development of the region. The establishment of the university is expected to give Gorakhpur a new identity in the field of education and research.
