The National Dairy Research Institute metamorphosed from erstwhile Imperial Institute for Animal Husbandry& Dairying, which was established at Bangalore, India in 1923. In 1936, it was expanded and renamed as Imperial Dairy Institute. It was in 1955 that its Headquarters were shifted to Karnal at the location formerly called Central Cattle Breeding Farm. With a view to consolidate the infrastructure already developed at Bangalore, the unit was reorganised to serve as the Southern Regional Station of the Institute.
