VH Group / Dr. B.V. Rao. INSTITUTE OF POULTRY MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY
The art of poultry farming could evolve into a science because man decided to practice it, study the niceties, gain in-depth knowledge of the techniques and document them for future generations. Thus was sown the seed for the Dr. B. V. Rao Institute of Poultry Management and Technology. Set up to impart practical training on scientific lines, this pioneering and one-of-its-kind Institute has contributed largely in transforming the poultry sector in India from a backyard activity just a few years ago, into a commercial business, managed professionally. Nestled next to the tiny town of Uruli Kanchan, near Pune, over an expanse of 46 acres, the Institute was inaugurated on 16th of May 1987. Since then and till date, it has trained over 11,000 students from India and abroad. The emphasis in training is on hands-on exposure coupled with sound theoretical knowledge. The Institute is supported by Pune-based Venkateshwara Hatcheries Group, the most integrated Poultry Group in Asia and the leaders in Modern Poultry Farming in India. The students thus have access to additional specialized facilities like large Hatchery, large scale Feed Mill, Diagnostic laboratories, Vaccine and Animal Health Products Division, Egg and Poultry Processing Plant, Poultry Equipment manufacturing plant etc.
The primary objective of the Institute is to aid the progress and development of the Poultry Industry by providing it with successful entrepreneurs and skilled manpower through programmed and scientific training. It also conducts applied research, encompassing various areas of poultry management and provides facilities for field testing of new products to be released by Pharmaceutical and other companies.
The training imparted lays emphasis on practical experiences gained by direct involvement on the farms. Students are given in-depth insight into the theory and use of scientific poultry management and great emphasis is laid upon practical training. Use of computers for data analysis, maintenance of records, production projections, computing of least-cost feed formulations, proximate analyses of feed / ingredients, project preparation, etc. is encouraged.
Being a dynamic activity, the Institute vibrates with new ideas, modifying existing practices and ever on the lookout for improvements. Some highlights till date are:
A placement cell has been set up to assist fresh candidates seeking employment. Many of the alumni are self-employed.
Consultancy services are offered on a limited scale.
The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of United Nations, has sponsored senior officers from Bangladesh and Vietnam for special training programs.
Candidates from Malaysia, the Middle East, Nepal, Maldives,Bangla Desh and Nigeria have also undergone different training programs on their own
