The AGRO-ECONOMIC RESEARCH CENTRE (AERC) After the initiation of the era of planned development in India, need was felt for carrying out studies for proper understanding of the changes occurring in the structure and functioning of village economy and other specific problems arising from time to time.

The Agro-Economic Research Centre (AERC) at the Himachal Pradesh University-HPU was established in December 1972 by the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India to carry out research and investigations in the field of Agricultural Economics in Western Himalayan Region consisting of Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir.

Distance education is now recognised as one of the most effective methods of instruction in all countries of the world. Academics of all shades acknowledge that it is learning which is important and not the channel of education. The conventional system of education has undoubtedly contributed significantly both to the advancement and dissemination of knowledge, yet the fact remains that the conventional system has neither been able to solve the problem of access, nor of equity and equality. The education through correspondence or distance is an alternative mode of imparting instruction, which has helped the country to meet the demand for education of millions of people at different levels. Education is now considered as one of the most effective methods of instruction in all advanced countries of the world.
