Wheat genetic breeding experts Jin Shanbao became the first chairman. In 1960s, the college was identified by the State Council as one of the country's two key agricultural colleges and universities.^[2] In 1972 January, the school moved to Yangzhou, and the then north of Jiangsu Agricultural College merged with the establishment of Jiangsu Agricultural College. In February 1979, approved by the State Council, Nanjing Agricultural College in the original site of the resumption of schooling, included in the Ministry of Agriculture under the national key universities.^[3]
