One of the oldest college started teaching in Saharanpur district of Western Utter Pradesh to cater the needs of society. Over a period of time it attained the centre of Excellence in teaching of Agriculture.

In early fifties there were no colleges to teach agriculture in Saharanpur district of western Uttar Pradesh. The most people of Western Uttar Pradesh were socio economically backward due to poor higher educational status. However, some of the rich people were used to go far off places to obtain their higher education. Chaudhary Multan Singh, an eminent Socialist & Educationalist started Gurjar Degree College in Rampur Maniharan district Saharanpur (UP) in 1959 with an objective to provide higher education in Agriculture and Science. The college has been affiliated to Chaudahry Charan Singh University, Meerut (UP). Later, during 1970s the name of college was changed as Gochar Mahavidyalaya. Though the college has been started to teach B.Sc. (Ag), presently apart from B.Sc. (Ag), the college is running courses viz., faculty of Arts, Science, Physical Education, Commerce, Management, Education, Home Science and BTC, etc. During 1988 the college has been upgraded as Post Graduate College with the PG courses of teaching and research in M.
