University of Horticultural Sciences (UHS) Bagalkot

University of Horticultural Sciences (UHS) at Bagalkot was born out of a realization of the Government of Karnataka on the need of a horticultural university in the region. The exclusive University which came into being in 2008 was set up in Bagalkot because of its rich horticultural produce. It is the production base of grapes, pomegranate, sapota, fig, lime, sweet lime, ber, varieties of vegetables, spices and medicinal plants. Besides, the bordering districts of Belgaum on West, Dharwad and Koppal on South, Bijapur on North and Raichur on East are the hub of horticulture because of the favourable climate for horticulture crops in the area.
