Central Institute for Fodder technology and various methods of Fodder cultivation. Managed by Indian Council for Agricultural Research. Nice place to gain knowledge on Fodder, Livestock and Grasslands.

Agriculture science BEST institute

IGFRI, a national institute under the administrative control of Indian Council of Agricultural Research, is mandated to conduct Basic, strategic and adaptive research on improvement, production and utilization of fodder crops and grasslands; Coordination of research on forages and grasslands for enhancing productivity and quality for enhancing livestock productivity; Technology dissemination and human resource development. The Institute has highly experienced and internationally trained human resources engaged in need-led, participatory, inter-disciplinary approaches. With more than 50 years of experience in forage research and development, IGFRI today stands as the premier R&D institution in South Asia for sustainable agriculture through quality forage production for improved animal productivity.

This is a amazing institution for Agricultural researcher

It's a lab whose main objective is to improve the fodder and forage for livestock. This is still improving and is in its development stage. Research done here has a noticeable effect globally, though some of the scientists here and staff is just for sitting and catching flies, i doubt on their qualification. While most for the scientists are hard working and talented and honoured.

Treasure trove of fodder crops. If you plan to have a farm with cattles, make a point to visit this place as often as possible. Visit any department and you will be given guided tours and samples by very generous and sincere scientists themselves.

IGFRI, a national institute under the administrative control of Indian Council of Agricultural Research, is mandated to conduct basic, strategic, applied and adaptive research; development and training in forage production and its utilization. To fulfil the needs of the nation's and to conduct organized scientific researches exclusively on grasslands and fodder productions and their utilization, Government of India established an institute of national importance, Indian Grassland and Fodder Research Institute (ICAR-IGFRI), at the heart land/biodiversity hotspot of grasses (Jhansi) in 1962. On 1st April, 1966, it became a part of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). In addition, All India Coordinated Research Project on Forage Crops and Utilization was created in 1972 with IGFRI as head quarter for multi-location testing of forage varieties and technologies in different agro climatic zones of the country through 22 coordinating centres at various State Agricultural Universities under the National Agricultural Research System. The institute consists of seven multi-disciplinary divisions viz., crop improvement, crop production, farm machinery and post-harvest technology, seed technology, social science, grassland and silvipasture management and plant animal relationship. Among 7 divisions, two divisions mentioned at last are unique. It also has five units viz., PME, HRD, ATIC, ITMU and AKMU and facilities like Library, Central Research Farm, Dairy and Central Instrumentation Lab. As offshoot, institute has three regional stations located in Avikanagar (Rajasthan), Dharwad (Karnataka) and Srinagar (Jammu & Kashmir) to conduct focussed forage research on arid, semi-arid and temperate climatic conditions, respectively and a grassland centre at Palampur (Himachal Pradesh).

It is the most premier institute in the grassland and fodder research in the country... it is one among the biggest institutes of Indian Council of Agricultural Research
