National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR)

The National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR) is an Indian government institute that conserves and manages plant diversity for agriculture. It collects, studies, and preserves seeds and genetic material of crop varieties, ensuring they are available for breeding, research, and future food security. By safeguarding this genetic wealth, NBPGR helps enhance crop resilience, improve yields, and support sustainable farming practices, ultimately contributing to national food security and agricultural development.
