Director of ICAR-National Institute on Foot and Mouth Disease(NIFMD)

Director's Message :

It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you all to the web portal of ICAR - National Institute on Foot & Mouth Disease (ICAR - NIFMD), Bhubaneswar.

Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is a devastating transboundary animal disease endemic in India, with serotypes O, A, and Asia1. Of these, majority of cases are attributed to serotype O. India has implemented a vaccination-based control program to manage and eliminate the disease under the National Animal Disease Control Programme (NADCP)/Livestock Health and Disease Control Programme (LHDCP). The ICAR - NIFMD is the premier institute in India dedicated to FMD related Research & Development and value-added services since 1968, when AICRP on FMD started under the ICAR, New Delhi. Recognized as the National Institute on FMD on February 17, 2023, with state-of-the-art BSL3-Ag which is also DBT/RCGM certified facility, the institute also functions as an "FAO Reference Centre for FMD" and National Reference Centre for FMD. FMD surveillance and vaccine monitoring in India is conducted in collaboration with a network of 32 regional and collaborating centres located across the country, supported by ICAR & Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (DAHD), Government of India and operated under the auspices of ICAR - NIFMD, Bhubaneswar. The Institute was initiated as Project Directorate (2001), and upgraded to Directorate (2015) and National Institute (2023).
