Indian Grain Storage Management and Research Institute, Hapur

In order to develop facilities for Applied Research and Apex Level Training in the field of foodgrain storage and preservation, a Grain Storage Research and Training Centre was established at Hapur in 1958, which was later on expanded into Indian Grain Storage Institute (IGSI) with two field stations at Ludhiana and Bapatla (later shifted to Hyderabad) with the financial assistance from UNDP in 1968. Three field stations at Jabalpur, Jorhat, and Udaipur were subsequently established in 1981. In 1996, the IGSI was renamed as Indian Grain Storage Management and Research Institute (IGMRI). Field Stations at Jabalpur and Udaipur have however been closed w.e.f. October 2002. While the training, and research and development activities are undertaken by IGMRI, the work of popularising scientific methods of foodgrain storage developed by IGMRI among farming community is implemented through the Save Grain Campaign teams.
