MISSION
 Quality Human Resource Development  Soil, Water and Plant Nutrient management for Sustainable Crop Production.
PROFILE
The Department of Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry came into existance in 1955 as an integral part of Ranchi
Agriculture College, under Ranchi University. Since 3rd December 1970, College came under the administrative control
of Rajendra Agricultural University, Pusa, Bihar. Birsa Agricultural University came into existence in June, 1981. Since
inception under the guidance of Professor S. C. Mandal, Under Graduate and Post Graduate teaching contributed key
role in agricultural education and research in the country. Emergence of Jharkhand as a new state after bifurcation of
Bihar in November 2000, has thrown up new challenges for this department.
Since inception, a glory of renowned Soil Scientists of National and International repute having their visionary idea, keen
interest, depth of knowledge and stewardship has raised the department to this stage as is visible today.
