Foreword
For more than thirty years now, the Asian Association of Agricultural
Colleges and Universities (AAACU) stands firm in its commitment to serve towards
the improvement of agricultural and human welfare in Asia.
This booklet is a record of AAACU’s beginnings, its reason for being, the
people involved, and the Association’s modest achievements in the area of agriculture
education and research in the region. Consolidating the data from 1972 up to 2006
and writing about the life of this Association is not an easy task. But I realize that
I wish to acknowledge the contribution of all those who helped in
reconstructing the historical data of the Association.

Historical Background
The idea of establishing an institution for
regional cooperation was an offshoot of the First Asian
Agricultural College and University, Ludhiara, India.
The follow-up Committee on the establishment of an
association of agricultural colleges and universities in
Asia chaired by Dr. M.C. Chakrabandhu, the then
Rector of Kasetsart University in Thailand, drafted the
Constitution and By-Lawsof the Association. Members
of the Committee included Dr. K.C. Naik, then ViceChancellor of the University of Agricultural Sciences at
Bangalore, India; Dr. F.A Bernardo, then Dean of
College of Agriculture at University of the Philippines,
Los Baños (UPLB); Dr. Jannes Hutasort of Gadjah
Mada University, Indonesia; and Dr. Hyun Koo Pyo of
Seoul National University, Korea.
Serving as consultants were Dr. Edward Nocholson of United Nations Development
program (UNDP), Dr. Don Kimmel of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)
of the United Nations; and Dr. R.W. Cummings of the North Carolina State
University, U.S.A.
On 1 May 1972, the Asian Association of Agricultural
Colleges and Universities (AAACU) was officially
formed during the Second Agricultural College and
University Seminar at the Pines Hotel in Baguio City,
Philippines.
Objectives
With the firm belief that institutions of higher learning have the responsibility of
“contributing to the improvement of human condition” the Asian Association of
Agricultural Colleges and Universities formulated the following objectives, which
have guided the AAACU in all its activities since its establishment:
a. To help enhance the effectiveness of programs in agricultural instruction,
research and extension;
b. To formulate of promulgate plans, programs, and policies that will enable the
members institutions to achieve common or similar goals;
c. To determine ways and means by which member institutions maybe able to
build strong linkages among institutions and agencies serving agriculture; and
d. To exchange experiences among the members as to the means by which they
can contribute more effectively to the advancement of human welfare in Asia.

Secretariat
From its establishment in 1972 until December 1975, AAACU’s Secreatariat Office
was based at the College of Agriculture of UPLB, the Philippines. With the transfer
.of Dr. F.A.Bernardo to the Visayas State College of Agriculture (ViSCA), the AACU
Secretariat Office relocated to ViSCA’S Liaison Office in Pasay City, Metro Manila
in January 1976 until 1985.
When Dr. Bernardo, who subsequently became President of AAACU, moved to the
SEAMEO Regional Center for
Graduate Study and Research in
Agriculture (SEARCA) in 1986,
the Secretariat was again relocated to SEAMEO-SEARCA in
College,Laguna. Dr. Sarn-ang
Srinilta, Deputy Director of
SEAMEO-SEARCA was elected
Executive Secretary in 1986.
With the completion of Dr.
Sam-arng’s term of office as
Deputy Director of SEAMEO-SEARCA,
he went back to Thailand in 1992. AAACU established a temporary AAACU
Secretariat at Kasetsart University while maintaining the main secretariat at
SEAMEO-SEARCA. When Dr. Sarn-ang was appointed as Vice-Rector for Planning
and Development in 1994 at Suranaree University of Technology (SUT), a Secretariat
office was then set up at SUT. The office at KU was retained as a liaison office.
The Executive Board decided to dissolve the Secretariat offices in Thailand and
concentrate AAACU secretariat operations at SEAMEO-SEARCA starting 1997. In
1998, the SEARCA Governing Board approved the proposal of the AAACU
Executive Board for the permanent location of the AAACU Secretariat at SEARCA.
In 2000, Dr. Ruben L. Villareal who concurrently served as Director of SEAMEOSEARCA was elected as Executive Secretary.
The following served as Executive Secretary-Treasurer of AAACU: Dr. F.A.
Bernardo, 1970-1980; Dr. Jose Sal.Tan, 1981-1986; and Dr. Sam-arng Srinilta, 19861996; Dr. Percy E. Sajise, 1996-1999; and Dr. Ruben L. Villareal, 2000-14 August
2003; Dr. Arsenio M. Balisacan, 15 August 2003-present. Dr. Editha C. Cedicol
serves as AAACU Administrative and Editorial Assistant from 1986 until December
2006.
