When Smt. Kantaben Kashiram Rambhai chose to support Ganpat University, she did not just fund an institute she sowed the seeds of a new future for thousands of rural youth. Her generosity gave birth to the Kantaben Kashiram Institute of Agriculture Sciences and Research (KKIASR), a landmark initiative of Ganpat University dedicated to transforming agriculture through education and innovation.
For years, aspiring students from farming families in North Gujarat lacked access to advanced agricultural education. Opportunities to study modern farming, agri-technology, and sustainable practices were often far from their reach. The establishment of KKIASR changed this story forever.
Today, KKIASR stands as a living legacy of Kantaben’s vision equipped with modern classrooms, research labs, demonstration farms, and a curriculum designed to bridge traditional farming wisdom with scientific innovation. Here, young men and women learn not just how to cultivate crops, but how to cultivate sustainable livelihoods, resilient farming models, and agri-business enterprises.
The impact is already visible: graduates of KKIASR are leading organic farming ventures, experimenting with climate-resilient crops, and working on CSR and government projects to uplift rural communities. For many families, this institute is the first step toward economic independence and dignity.
A student shared with pride: “Because of KKIASR, I am not only a farmer’s son, I am becoming an agri-scientist. This dream was possible only because of Kantaben’s blessing and Ganpat University’s vision.”
Through KKIASR, Kantaben Kashiram Rambhai’s legacy lives on—turning fields into classrooms, and classrooms into engines of rural transformation.
