In this process, incubation facilities and expertise already available with participating academic,
technical, management and R&D institutions in the country shall be utilized on an individual or
collective basis to harness synergies. IVRI Pashu Vigyan Incubator at ICAR-IVRI has been bestowed
with an incubator namely Indian Veterinary Research Institute Remunerative Approaches for
Agriculture and Allied Sector Rejuvenation Agri Business Incubation (IVRI-R-ABI) under this
scheme in January 2019.
Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI) was established on 9th December, 1889 as an Imperial
Bacteriological Laboratory at Pune IVRI "Deemed to be University" (Maharashtra) and was later-on
shifted to Mukteshwar (Kumaon, Uttrakhand) in 1893. Mukteshwar was chosen because of its
suitability for research on infectious diseases. Subsequently, for extending the activities of the
Institute, Izatnagar, Bareilly (UP) campus was established in 1913 for large scale production of sera
and vaccines. It gradually expanded to the present size with its headquarters at Izatnagar (UP) and
campuses at Mukteshwar (Nainital, Uttrakhand), Bengaluru (Karnataka), Pune (Maharashtra) and
regional stations at Palampur (HP), Srinagar (J&K) and Kolkata (WB). At present, there are 21
Divisions and 6 Sections specialized in various disciplines/areas. Research conducted in the Institute
in the areas of animal health, production and technology with multidisciplinary approach has paid rich
dividends. The research contributions have facilitated development of new biologicals used for
diagnosis, prevention, cure and control of many devastating diseases of livestock and poultry,
increased production of milk, meat, eggs and other animal products.
B. Seed Stage Funding as grant-in-aid to Startups
This seed stage funding will be available to incubatees who are incubated at the R- ABI. Under this,
financial assistance of a maximum of Rs. 25 lakhs will be granted to potential startups that have a
minimum viable product (MVP) based on innovative solutions/ processes / products/ services/
