Division of Biochemistry, ICAR-IARI, New Delhi

The Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) is the country’s premier institution for agricultural research, education and extension. It has been serving the cause of science and society with distinction through basic research, generation of appropriate technologies and development of human resources. Recognizing the importance of biochemical studies in crop research, the Division of Biochemistry was created in 1966 as separate Division with major emphasis on plant biochemistry, molecular biology and food-nutrition. Since its inception, the Division has acquired the best research, teaching,  training facilities and take legitimate pride in being recognized as the only Centre of Advanced Faculty Training in Biochemistry in NARS by ICAR ever since 1995.
