Overview

Established in 1923, National Dairy Research Institute is a non-profit public higher education institution located in the the suburban setting of the large town of Karnal (population range of 50,000-249,999 inhabitants), Haryana. This institution has also branch campuses in the following location(s): Bangalore, Kalyani. Officially accredited/recognized by the University Grants Commission, India, National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI) is a very small (enrollment range: 500-999 students) coeducational higher education institution. National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI) offers courses and programs leading to officially recognized higher education degrees such as pre-bachelor degrees (i.e. certificates, diplomas, associate or foundation degrees), bachelor degrees, master degrees, doctorate degrees in several areas of study. This 94 years old H.E. institution has a selective admission policy based on entrance examinations. International applicants are eligible to apply for enrollment. NDRI also provides several academic and non-academic facilities and services to students including a library, housing, sport facilities and/or activities, financial aids and/or scholarships, study abroad and exchange programs, as well as administrative services.

History

The National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal was originally started as Imperial Institute of Animal Husbandry and Dairying in 1923 at Bangalore. It was expanded and renamed as Imperial Dairy Institute in 1936 and was known as National Dairy Research Institute after independence in 1947. Subsequently, in 1955, NDRI headquarters was shifted to Karnal. Facilities at Bangalore were retained to function as a Regional Station to serve the Southern States.

In 1964, Eastern Regional Station of the Institute was established at Kalyani, West Bengal. Both these Regional Stations continue to provide region specific R&D support for dairy development in these areas. In 1970, NDRI was brought under the wings of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research to provide greater operational autonomy to the Institute in research management functions.

In 1989, status of Deemed University was conferred to the Institute for further strengthening the academic programmes for human resource development.

In 1990, with the birth of “Pratham”, the first IVF buffalo calf of the world, NDRI reached a significant milestone.

Animal Biotechnology Centre Achievements

  • PRATHAM: National Dairy Research Institute has gathered world repute by making the first IVF (in vitro fertilization) buffalo in the world.
  • SAMRUPA: The world’s first cloned buffalo calf, was to be India’s answer to Dolly the sheep. But unlike Dolly, the first mammal cloned 13 years ago, who lived for seven years, Samrupa succumbed to a lung infection, five days after it was born.
  • First cloned Calf: On Feb 6, 2009, the first cloned calf was born; it survived for only six days and died on February 11. The Scientists of NDRI had developed a landmark technique and had created the first cloned buffalo calf.
  • GARIMA: The world’s second cloned buffalo calf through the Advanced Hand-guided Cloning Technique was born at NDRI, Karnal on June 6, 2009. It survived for more than two years but she died of heart failure on August 18, 2011.
  • Gamini: On Aug 22, 2010, a cloned calf of female buffalo ‘Garima-2’ nicknamed Gamini was born from embryonic stem cell; she is the mother of a calf named ‘Mahima’.
  • Shrestha: On Aug 26, 2010, a cloned calf of male buffalo ‘Shrestha’ was born from the somatic cell from the ear of an elite bull; it has been producing a good-quality of fertile semen.
  • Noori: On 9 March 2012, world’s first pashmina goat was born and was named Noori. She is a healthy female and the first pashmina goat to produce by a process of cloning using the nuclear transfer method. Noori was produced at the Centre for Animal Biotechnology at Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir (SKAUST), in Srinagar, India. Funded by World Bank, the clone project was a jointly worked by SKAUST and National Dairy Research Institute (NDRI).
  • Mahima: On 25 January 2013 at 1.51 PM by normal parturition a female calf was born from cloned buffalo Garima. NDRI has named the newborn female calf “Mahima”. In the world, it is the first calf born from cloned buffaloes, produced through hand-guided cloning technique. Mahima weighs 32 kg,
  • Swarn: On Mar 18, 2013, a clone of male buffalo ‘Swarn’ born from the somatic cell of semen; it is alive and healthy.
  • Purnima: On Sept 6, 2013, a clone of female buffalo ‘Purnima’ born from a high milk-yielding animal; it survived for 21 days before dying.
  • Lalima: On May 2, 2014 ‘Lalima’ was born through the NDRI’s ‘hand-guided cloning technique’.
