About ICAR-NRC on MithunICAR-National Research Centre on Mithun, the only research organization in the world is exclusively working for the continual improvement and conservation of Mithun (Bos frontalis). During the last 30 years, the Institute has not only generated invaluable scientific data towards the understanding of this unique species but also developed several

packages of practices and technologies. Conservation efforts including taming of mithun and demonstrating an alternative system of semi-intensive rearing of mithun resulted in the complete domestication of the species. Popularization efforts led to the adoption of scientific rearing of mithun by the tribal communities of North Eastern Region (NER) with better returns.

About ISVIBIndian Society for Veterinary Immunology and Biotechnology (ISVIB) was started in the year 1990.The founder members included Drs. B.B.Mallick, S.Krishnaswamy, M.V.Subba Rao, V.D.Padmanabhan and A.S.Grewal. Scientists from Veterinary Microbiology, Biotechnology and other disciplines are life members in this society. The organization has

grown over the years with a current membership of over 1000 scientists from India and abroad. Indian Society for Veterinary Immunology and Biotechnology motivates the members to discuss, analyze and formulate suitable strategies for safeguarding animal health and thus to ensure improved animal production. The society strives to highlight the role of veterinary scientists in achieving availability of balanced nutrition for all people and freedom from zoonotic diseases by applying biotechnological tools in animal and fisheries sphere of agriculture. To achieve this annual conventions and national/international symposia are organized to critically analyse and update our knowledge and understand issues concerning Immunology and Biotechnology based technologies in animal production and health. So far 24 conventions and one colloquium were organized in association with different institutions. Last convention (24th) was conducted in the College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Parbhani, Maharastra during 5-7th About ISVIB December 2017. Many scientists from different parts of our country participated in the convention. Apart from organising conventions with National and International symposia/ seminars ISVIB also honours and encourages senior and young scientists by instituting many awards. The highest award of the society is the Dr.P.Richard Masillamony oration award. Scientists are also recognised by the Fellow of ISVIB awards. The other awards are ISVIB Young

and Mid career scientist awards, ISVIB GADVASU Woman scientist award, Sir. F.M. Burnett memorial award (Team research), ISVIB (Product development), ISVIB Scientist award (Research article in high impact factor journal) and poster awards. To encourage UG and PG students to participate and present research abstracts in the conventions ISVIB has instituted two student travel grants.
