Johl, renowned agricultural economist, policy maker and educationist has been at the vanguard of academics since 1994. Our mission is to provide value based education & training to the rural youth.

The institution was established in the memory of Amardeep Singh Shergill, an illustrious student of London School of Economics, who passed away in the prime of his youth.
