About Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwavidyalaya - JNKVV
Indira Gandhi National Tribal University (JNKV) is a tribal University situated at Amarkantak. It has been established by an Act of the Parliament of India and came into existence by the Indira Gandhi National Tribal University Act, 2007 on July 8th, 2008. The University is fully funded by the Central Government through the University Grant Commission and its jurisdiction extended to the whole country.
