Purwanchal Krishi Campus is situated in Gauradha municipality of Jhapa District in Eastern Terai of Nepal. PAC is about 6 km from the East-West Highway nearby Damak. Eastern Terai of Nepal is famous for most commercial crops like rice, tea, black cardamom, maize, wheat, etc. including animal husbandry and fisheries. Therefore  the faculty would be more diverse in agricultural  activities. This would diversify food production and availability in Nepal and boost national food security.  The Prime Minister Agriculture Modernization Project (PMAMP) has exclusively quoted Jhapa to be a super  zone of paddy production, which furthermore would  attract more quality staff and students in the days  ahead by producing competent human capital in the  field of agriculture.
