About Institute
Way back in 1930s, the role of poultry in uplifting rural economy and alleviation of malnutrition was recognized and on the recommendations of Royal Commission on Agriculture (1927), a separate Poultry Research Section at the Imperial (now Indian) Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI), Izatnagar (UP), Bareilly was created on March 11, 1939, which was later on upgraded to Poultry Research Division (PRD) in the mid 50s and continued to play a significant role in growth and development of the Indian Poultry sector under the valiants like Mr. MacDonald (1939-1947), Dr. S.C. Iyer (1949-1955), Dr. S. Bose (1958-1968), Dr. B. Panda (1969-1979) and others thereafter. The PRD made remarkable progress during 70’s and became the biggest poultry research unit in India. During 1971, an All India Coordinated Research Project (AICRP) on Poultry Breeding was initiated in this Division with its 14 centres in different parts of the country. Later, it drew the attention of United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and a Center

Central Avian Research Institute is a premier research organization under ICAR, dedicated to advancing poultry science through cutting-edge research, innovative technologies, and comprehensive training programs.
Core Research Areas
Avian Genetics & Breeding
The Division is involved in conducting basic, applied and adaptive research in the areas of Avian Genetics & Breeding and Avian Biotechnology. Main thrust areas include genetic improvement of diversified poultry species, maintenance, evaluation and utilization of native chicken, development and multiplication of superior germplasm, genomics and functional genetics analyses, rCytokine production and application of gene driven technologies like transgenesis and RNAi, etc. Development of highly skilled and trained manpower and imparting specialized training and post-graduate education in the area of Avian Genetics and Breeding constitute an important mandate of this Division. The Division also provides assistance in training programmes organized by Post Graduate Education & Training and/ or Technology Transfer sections, consultancy services to farmers and various organizations, transfer of proven technologies to end users and supply of superior germplasm in the form of fertile eggs and day old chicks to various stake holders. Divisional facilities encompass five
