Background and Location Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, was established on 1 st December, 1985 with the objective to promote education, research and extension education in the fields of horticulture, forestry and allied disciplines. Late Dr. Yashwant Singh Parmar, the 1 st Chief Minister and the architect of Himachal Pradesh perceived the importance of Horticulture and Forestry to develop and improve the State economy which led to the establishment of this University. Its history lies in erstwhile Himachal Agricultural College, Solan, established in 1962 and affiliated to the Panjab University. It became one of the Agriculture Campuses of Himachal Pradesh University on its formation in 1970. Consequent upon the establishment of Himachal Pradesh Krishi Vishvavidyalaya in 1978, this campus became its Horticulture Complex and finally in 1985, assumed the status of a State University, being the only University in the country engaged exclusively in teaching, research and extension in horticulture and forestry. The University is located at Nauni in Solan district of Himachal Pradesh, 13 km from Solan on Solan-Rajgarh road, at an elevation of 1300 metres above mean sea level.
