1. INTRODUCTION
Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI) was established on 9th
December, 1889 as an Imperial Bacteriological Laboratory at Pune
(Maharashtra) and was later-on shifted to Mukteswar (Kumaon, Uttranchal)
in 1893. Mukteswar was chosen because of its suitability for research on
infectious diseases. Subsequently, for extending the activities of the Institute,
Izatnagar, Bareilly (UP) campus was established in 1913 for large scale
production of sera and vaccines. It gradually expanded to the present size
with its headquarters at Izatnagar (UP) and campuses at Mukteswar (Nainital,
Uttranchal), Bangalore(Karnataka), Bhopal (MP) and regional stations at
Palampur (HP), Srinagar (J&K) and Kolkata (WB). At present, there are 21
Divisions and 6 Sections specialized in various disciplines/areas. Research
conducted in the areas of animal health, production and technology with
multidisciplinary approach has paid rich dividends. The research contributions
have facilitated development of new biologicals used for diagnosis,
prevention, cure and control of many devastating diseases of livestock and
poultry, increased production of milk, meat, eggs and other animal products.
Upgradation of livestock and poultry with increased production potential,
overcoming the shortage of animal feeds by better utilization of existing feed
resources and substitution of conventional feeds by cheaper agro-industrial
by-products are other significant contributions. Post-graduate teaching and
training programmes started in 1900 at the Institute when training was
imparted to field veterinarians, civil and army personnel on various aspects
of animal health-care. Later, Associateship of IVRI and National Diploma
courses were added as a part of post-graduate teaching programme.
However, with the establishment of Post-Graduate College of Animal
Sciences in 1958, the Institute has been providing quality education at masters'
and doctoral levels in 23 and 20 disciplines respectively. The Institute has
been conferred the status of Deemed to be University with effect from 16th
November, 1983 under Section 3 of the University Grants Commission Act
(1956). The first academic session under Deemed University started on
15.1.1985. The administrative control of the Institute is vested with the Indian
Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). The Institute has been attracting a
large number of foreign students, specially from developing countries.
Scholars have been deputed to this Institute from different Countries for
various short and long-term training programmes, diplomas and degree
Courses. Besides the above courses, the institute has also been conducting
various short term National and International Training Programmes, Staff
Courses and Summer Institutes from time to time to make the professional
workers familiar with latest Developments in veterinary and animal sciences.
The Institute has also been recognised as the Centre for Advanced Studies
in Animal Nutrition, and Animal Physiology and Centre of Excellence in Animal
Biotechnology by Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi. The
Institute, spreaded over an area of 307 hectares, has a well established
National Library of Veterinary Sciences, Animal and Fodder Farms, Boys
and Girls' Hostels, Bank and Post Office facilities at its Izatnagar campus. It
is located at a distance of 250 Kms from New Delhi, & about 8 km from
Bareilly Jn. (BG) and 1 km from Izatnagar Railway Station (MG).
