The Indian Veterinary Research Institute was founded in 1889 as the Imperial Bacteriological Laboratory in Pune, Maharashtra. It was later shifted to Mukteshwar in 1893 and finally to its current location in Izatnagar in 1936.

Over the years, it has evolved into a comprehensive research and educational institution.
