Also known as the Bukalasa Agricultural Training Institute (BATI), the public vocational training school was established by the government of Uganda in 1920 as a cotton research center. By the time Gene Casto arrived in 1963, the school had become a comprehensive agricultural research and training center offering a two-year certificate and a diploma course.
