Overview
About College of Forestry GKVK
Department of Forestry & Environmental Science, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore is an agriculture veterinary college in Bengaluru, Karnataka, established in 2004. It is affiliated to University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore. Its programmes are approved by the ICAR. They are M.Sc. (Agri.) in Forestry and Environmental Science and Ph.D. in Forestry and Environmental Science. Official UAS Bangalore pages identify the Bengaluru/GKVK unit as the Department of Forestry & Environmental Science within the College of Agriculture, GKVK—not a standalone College of Forestry. The separate College of Forestry, Sirsi/Ponnampet is a different unit and was not attributed here. The department was established in 2004, offers M.Sc. (Ag.) Environmental Science, receives DST-FIST support, and reports 36 research projects over the preceding two decades. GKVK is the university campus; no veterinary hospital or parent hospital was identified. Information is based on official pages published in 2021–2022; no 2026–27-specific academic regulations or faculty total were published on the reviewed pages. The input master name incorrectly labels this unit as a College of Forestry and marks it as a duplicate. Official UAS pages identify it as a university department on the GKVK Bengaluru campus, established in 2004 by amalgamating the former Botany and Forestry departments. It is not the separately listed College of Forestry, Sirsi, or the College of Forestry, Ponnampet. The ICAR 23 December 2025 accreditation list accredits UAS Bengaluru and names its accredited constituent colleges, but does not list this department or a College of Forestry at Bengaluru.
