Till 1946, the Agricultural College and Research Institute, Coimbatore was the only institute for Agricultural Education for the whole of South India. In 1958, it was recognized as a Post-Graduates Centre leading to Masters and Doctoral degrees. The Agricultural College & Research Institute, Madurai was established in 1965.
