Gandhi Krishi Vigyana Kendra (GKVK), is one of the campus and administrative headquarters of UAS (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore).

[1] Maharani Kempa Nanjammanni Vani Vilasa Sannidhi, the Regent of Mysore, donated 30 acres of land in 1899 for the Experimental Agricultural Station at Hebbal.

The station expanded to 202 acres, aided by M. Vishveshwaraiah, who established the Mysore Agriculture Residential School in 1913.

In 1963, the University of Agricultural Sciences (UAS) was established, with 1300 acres granted for the Gandhi Krishi Vigyana Kendra Campus.

[3][4] The university has engaged in development of various agro and biotech research plots, as well as nurturing its landscape to support a diverse range of flora and fauna.

In addition to its research endeavors, the university has facilitated the collection of a wide array of germplasms and has established a botanical garden boasting nearly 600 species of important plants.
