Facilities in Indian Agricultural Research Institute

IARI Library

The Indian Agricultural Research Institute is the heart of the Institute. For the last 90 years, the Library has expanded to meet the ever growing needs of the scientific and student community of the Institue and of the country as a whole. It has assumed the de facto status of National Agriultural Library of India and has been regarded as one of the 10 best agrobiological libraries of the world.

The IARI library was established as an organ of the Institute at Pusa (Bihar) in 1905 with a small collection of 5,000 publications donated by the Department of Agriculture, Govt. of India. After the devastating earth-quake in 1934, the Insitute was shifted with the Library to its present campus in New Delhi, where it was inaugurated in 1936 by Lord Linlithgow, the then Viceroy and Governor of India, and the Library was named after him as Linlithgow Library.

The Library today houses over 6,00,000 highly specialised research publications on agriculture and related sciences consisting of books, monographs, reference materials, journals, advances and annual reviews, abstracting and indexing journals, translated periodicals, statistical and data publications, bulletins (series publications), reports, pamphlets, reprints, news clippings, post graduated thesis of IARI and ICAR research fellowship thesis. The collection gets enriched annually at the rate of 8,000 to 9,000 documents. The Library has 10,500 serial files, and 4,000 current serials are being procured from 80 countries through subscription, gifts and exchanges.

 

Research Activities of Indian Agricultural Research Institute

The Indian Agricultural Research Institute is the country’s premier national Institute for agricultural research, education and extension. It has the status of a ‘Deemed-to-be-University’ under the UGC Act of 1956, and awards M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in various agricultural disciplines. The growth of India’s agriculture during the past nearly 100 years, is closely linked with the researches done and technologies generated by the Institute. The Green Revolution stemmed from the fields of IARI. Development of high yielding varieties of all major crops which occupy vast areas throughout the country, generation and standardization of their production, techniques, integrated pest management and integrated soil-water-nutrient management have been the hallmarks of the Institute’s research.

As per the research mandate of the Institute to conduct basic and strategic research with a view to understand the processes, in all their complexity, and to undertake need-based research, that lead to crop improvement and sustained agriculture productivity in harmony with environment to provide national leadership in Agricultural Research, Extension and Technology assessment and transfer by developing new concepts and approaches and serving as a national referral point for quality and standards, the Indian Agricultural Research Institute concentrated mainly its activities on:

1. School of Crop Improvements
2. School of Crop Protection
3. School of Basic Sciences
4. School of Resources Management
5. School of Social Sciences

 

Organisation Setup of Indian Agricultural Research Institute

The administrative and technical head of IARI is its Director. The Board of Management, with the Director as its chairman, served by four Councils, namely, Research Advisory Council, Academic Council, Extension Council and Executive Council, provides the overall management direction. The Director is assisted by a Joint Director (Research), a Dean, and a Joint Director (Extension) who are equivalent to the Directors of ICAR institutes which are not deemed universities.

About the Indian Agricultural Research Institute

The Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) is the country’s premier national Institute for agricultural research, education and extension. It has served the cause of science and society with distinction through first rate research, generation of appropriate technologies and development of human resources. In fact, the Green Revolution was born in the fields of IARI and our graduates constitute the core of the quality human resource in India’s agricultural research and education. The Institute has all along been adjusting and improving its policies, plans and programmes to effectively respond to the needs and opportunities of the nation. During the fifties, the advancement of scientific disciplines constituted the core programme and provided the base for its fast expansion in the 1960’s and 1970’s in all its three interactive areas, namely, research, education and extension. Besides basic research, applied and commodity research gained great importance resulting in the development of several popular high yielding varieties of almost all major crops and their associated management technologies, which brought about an unprecedented increase in the national food and agricultural production.

 

History of Air Force

The Indian Air Force took off as a tiny fleet with four Westland Wapiti army co-operative by-planes, six RAF trained officers and 19 Hawai Sepoys. Today, it is the fourth largest Air Force in the world with a highly technical and specialised fighting force that safeguards our skies against enemy invasions.

A glance at the annals of its history will help us understand the glorious sixty nine years of our legendary Air Force.
[1st April 1932- 1st April 1954] The Two Births
[1955-1971] A Period Of Turmoil
[1972-1990] A Time Of Progress
[1990- Present] Piloting India Into The New Millennium

[1st April 1932- 1st April 1954] The Two Births
The two dates, mentioned above, are landmarks in the history of the Indian Air Force. On 1st April 1932, the Indian Air Force came into being and on 1st April 1954 Air Marshal Subroto Mukherjee, one of the founding members of the Air Force took over as the first Indian Chief of Air Staff.

The interim witnessed the most bloodiest war in the history of mankind, for the second time-World War II. The IAF lent its support to UK during the war. KK Majumdar, one of the legendary heroes of the Indian Air Force was rated one of the twelve best pilots of the Allied Air Forces.

The same decade also saw the birth of an Independent India followed by the formation of the Indian Air Force, as we know it today.

[1955-1971] A Period Of Turmoil
This was the time the Indian Air Force entered a new era with the acquisition of jet aircraft. The period also saw the two Indo-Pak wars, both of which were marked by the neutralisation of Pakistani Air efforts by the Indian Air Force. The IAF also contributed to the UN Peace keeping mission in Congo as well as the Sino India Conflict, with dedication and commitment.

[1972-1990] A Time Of Progress
Over the next two decades the Indian Air Force undertook massive upgrading of its aircraft and equipments. As part of the process, the Indian Air Force introduced over twenty new aircraft types. Jaguars and several variations of the MiG were among the aircraft introduced to replace the Dakotas and the Packets. The MiG is a revolutionary aircraft that was introduced to the Indian fleet in the eighties. It operates up to three times the speed of sound and over 80,000 feet above sea level.

The same period also witnessed a number of world records set by Indian Air Force personnel. Sqn Ldr Makkar and Flt Lt RTS Chinna set a world record by bombing from their Mi-17 helicopter in Ladakh at an altitude of 5050 meters. Sqn Ldr Sanjay Thapar, was the first Indian to para jump over the South Pole. Exploring new vistas, Sqn Ldr Rakesh Sharma was the first Indian cosmonaut to venture into outer space as part of an Indo-Soviet space program.

[1990 - Present] Piloting India Into The New Millennium
The last decade of the twentieth century saw a phenomenal change in the structure of the Indian Air Force with induction of women into the Air Force for short service commissions. It was also a time when the Air Force undertook some of the most perilous operations ever undertaken.

In 1999, the Indian Air Force undertook “Operation Safed Sagar", the most unique air operation undertaken by any air force in the world. An air attack was launched and won at an unprecedented height, under hostile climatic conditions against an intruding enemy. The Indian Air Force also participated in the peacekeeping mission at Somalia as part of a humanitarian operation.
