The College is about 4 Kilometres away from Waraseoni on Waraseoni-Lalburra Road. As the location of RARS is very near to the village Murjhad, the farm is popularly known as "Murjhad Farm". Geographically, its altitude, Longitude and Latitude is 301.5M, 80°50'E and 21°45'N, respectively. The Murjhad Farm where the College is located was established during the British rule (1917-18) and after independence, in 1965, it came under the aegis of JNKVV, Jabalpur and was subsequently rechristened as Regional Agriculture Research Station, Murjhad Farm. The primary objective of the farm was to supply high quality pure seeds of recommended paddy varieties to the farmers of the Balaghat region. Later, because of inclusion of Balaghat district in the Chhattisgarh plain agro-climatic zone, the RARS was attached to the then newly established Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwa Vidyalya, Raipur in 1987-88. However, with the formation of Chhattisgarh as a new state in year 2000, RARS, Waraseoni was again transferred back to JNKVV, Jabalpur on 6th November 2000. Since, then the RARS Murjhad Farm is an inherent part of JNKVV, Jabalpur. In the year 2019, College of Agriculture, Balaghat was accreditated by the ICAR peer review committee with a prestigious score of 3.01.
