Pantnagar is a town and a university campus in Udham Singh Nagar District, Uttarakhand. Nainital, Kashipur, Rudrapur, Kiccha and Haldwani are the major cities surrounding Pantnagar.

The town is home to the first agricultural university of India which was established on 17 November 1960.^[1] The university was earlier called the Uttar Pradesh Agricultural University or Pantnagar University. It was renamed G. B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology.^[1] keeping in view the contributions of Pt. Govind Ballabh Pant, the then Chief Minister of UP.

In recent years, an integrated industrial estate has been established near the campus which houses companies such as Tata Motors, Bajaj, Britannia, Hewlett-Packard, Hindustan Computers Ltd., Voltas, Schneider Electric, Nestle, Dabur, Vedanta Resources, etc., as a part of SIDCUL Industrial Area developed by the government owned State Industrial Development Corporation of Uttarakhand.
