Animal experimentation in Bio-medical research continue to remain crucial to find out better ways to understand, prevent, treat and cure diseases as currently there are no existing alternatives to substitute the biological systems. World over, new drug research as well as tests meant for assuring the quality, safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products /vaccines/ recombinant products are based on experiments involving animals. The use of animals for research is essential for the development of new and more effective methods for diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect both humans and animals. Virtually every breakthrough in new drug/vaccine development has been the direct result of research in animals.
Therefore, the first EFC for the institution submitted to the Ministry on 21st October 2004 and the Government of India accorded approval for its formation on 18th November 2015. The Department of Health Research (DHR) Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has conveyed the orders on 3rd December 2015 for creation of National Animal Resource Facility for Bio-Medical Research (NARFBR) institute. ICMR issued OM and notification for establishing it as a permanent institute of ICMR on 1st Jan 2016.
