About National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources

The National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR) is a premier organization under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), dedicated to the conservation and sustainable utilization of plant genetic resources for national food and nutritional security. For aspirants of government jobs in the research and agricultural sectors, NBPGR represents a significant opportunity to serve the nation through scientific innovation. It plays a pivotal role in public service by managing India's plant genetic diversity, which is crucial for crop improvement and agriculture-based national development.

The organization was established in August 1976 as the 'National Bureau of Plant Introduction' and rechristened to its current name in January 1977. Its origins trace back to the need for plant introduction and germplasm augmentation felt as early as 1935. The formal journey began in 1946 under the leadership of the Late Dr. Harbhajan Singh as the first 'Operational Scientist' within the ICAR scheme for 'Plant Introduction' at IARI. This evolution from a unit in the Botany Division to an independent institute marks a significant chapter in India's scientific history.

Professionals seeking government jobs and public sector careers in science and research will find meaningful opportunities at NBPGR. The organization frequently announces the latest sarkari naukri for positions that contribute to its mandate of plant introduction and germplasm management. By joining NBPGR, candidates become part of a legacy that began with the vision of Dr. B.P. Pal and Dr. Harbhajan Singh, contributing to India's agricultural resilience and scientific growth.
