What is NDRI?

ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI) at Karnal, Haryana is one of the premier Institutes in the dairy sector.
It has contributed a lot in the growth of the dairy industry and played a crucial role in India’s development in milk production with its continuous research.
Hundreds year old NRTIs lineage goes back to the Imperial Institute for Animal Husbandry & Dairying which was set up in Bangalore in 1923 as a center for dairy education.
In its erstwhile form of Imperial Institute in Bangalore, Father of the Nation’ Mahatma Gandhi and ‘Bharat Ratna’ Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya, were imparted training at the Institute in 1927.
