The ICAR-National Research Centre on Pomegranate was established on June 16, 2005 by Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi, as a step to strengthen the research and development infrastructure for the pomegranate crop. Though Universities and institutes all over the world are having research programmes on pomegranate, this is the only institution working solely on pomegranate. The centre was established to fulfill the growing demand for pomegranate both in the domestic and export market by tapping the immense production potential prevailing in the country.
