Preamble

The Institute started as Imperial Institute of Animal Husbandry and Dairying in 1923 at Bangalore is currently located at Karnal since 1955 as National Dairy Research Institute and has two regional stations viz. Southern Regional Station at Bangalore and Eastern Regional Station Station at Kalyani to serve the cause of dairying in the southern and eastern states respectively. The University Grants Commission conferred the Institute with Deemed University status in March 1989.The Director and the Joint Directors (Research & Academic) through scientific, technical, administrative and supporting staff manage the Research, Education and Extension activites of the Institute. The Institute presently has strength of 176 scientific, 365 technical, 172 administrative/ ministerial and 788 supporting staff.
