History of LUANAR

In a landmark address to parliament on 24th May 2010, the third State President of Malawi, His Excellency Professor Bingu wa Mutharika shared his vision of establishing six universities within a period of ten years. This was meant to address the problems of limited University access and increase the pool of well-trained human resource in the country that will accelerate socio-economic development of Malawi. One of the new universities to be established was Lilongwe University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (LUANAR). The President directed that LUANAR be created by transforming Bunda College of Agriculture and Natural Resources College (NRC) into a University in its own right. LUANAR was, therefore, created through an Act of Parliament No. 22 of 2011. LUANAR started her operations on 1st July 2012.
