Voronezh State Agrarian University. Emperor Peter I is one of the largest city educational institutions of higher professional education. It has its own hostel system, a huge botanical garden, and even its own rock festival. Today we will talk about the history of the creation of the university, about the competencies that are taught at the Voronezh State Agrarian University, and how to get to it.
History of Creation
This educational institution is one of the oldest in Voronezh. It was established by Nicholas II at the very beginning of the 20th century, 5 years before the start of the Civil War. The opening of the Voronezh Agrarian University took place a year later - in 1913. True, the university was then called the Voronezh Agricultural Institute.
The famous scientist Konstantin Dmitrievich Glinka became the first rector. As a doctor of mineralogy and geognosy, he was able to establish a scientificwork at the institute in such a way that even the Civil War could not destroy the imperial university.
After the establishment of Soviet power, the leadership of the Voronezh State Agrarian University named after Peter I sent a delegation to Moscow, where they successfully proved that the city and the new state needed the university. These drastic actions made it possible to receive annual funding and continue to enroll students.
Then there was the emergence of new faculties, and evacuation during the war, and a period of stagnation. But all this time, the university continued to train specialists and move forward the agriculture of the region.
With the collapse of the USSR, the status of the SHI has also changed. In 1991, the Voronezh State Agrarian University appeared, which proved the necessity of its existence on the city map. An interesting fact is that the university is in financial surplus. The average income of Voronezh State Agrarian University named after Emperor Peter I is 1.5 rubles for each ruble of budget funding.
