Allahabad Agricultural Institute and Anapur estate

Dr Sam Higginbottom the founder of Allahabad Agricultural Institute was a close friend of Rai Bahadur Babu Bhagwati Saan Singh. Rai Bahadur sahib was a man ahead of his times. He practiced agriculture in the most scientific way and also maintained a dairy cattle farm which was scientifically planned. Seeds, implements and sometimes cattle (red Sindhi and other breeds) for Anapur estate were procured from Allahabad Agricultural Institute.
