About Us

The idea of forming some kind of an organization to provide stimulus to the poultry developmental activities in the country was a matter of consideration in the Government and University circles for quite sometime. The issue however, received serious thought during the Poultry Research Worker’s Conference in March 1965 at Pune, wherein it was resolved to establish the Indian Poultry Science Association with certain well defined objectives with a view to promote poultry development activities and knowledge base in the field of poultry science.

For an effective working and growth any organization needs a sound base and appropriate support of its constituent Members. The same was true of the IPSA also. The Association was, therefore, rightly provided with the needed support through the scientific and technical hands available at the erstwhile Poultry Research Division of Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar (UP). With Dr. S. Bose, the then Head of the Division assuming responsibility as an Honorary Chief Editor, the first issue of the Indian Journal of Poultry Science (IJPS), an official organ of the Association, rolled out of press in September 1966. Unfortunately, however, both the Association and its journal suffered a temporary setback during the period 1968-72.
