After the Independence of Bangladesh, the government felt the institute was important and as a result the Central Extension Resources Development Institute was established in 1976 as a joint venture between the governments of Bangladesh and Japan. Japan withdrew from the institute in 1983, the institute was reorganized through a gazette notification on 27 June 1984.[2][5] On 3 April 2013 the organization was reorganized and renamed to National Agriculture Training Academy.[6]
