Biotechnology was initiated at National Dairy Research Institute NDRI, Karnal during mid eighties under a UNDP 'Centre of Excellence on Biotechnology' program.

It organize M.Sc. and Ph.D. programmes in Biotechnology for the NDRI Deemed University.

The Centre also offers M.Sc./M.V.Sc./M.Tech and Ph.D. (Animal Biotechnology) programmes.
