1. MUSHROOM RESEARCH TOPIC :- MUSHROOM RESEARCH CENTRES OF INDIA Guided By :- Sushil Kumar Shahi Sir

2. Mushroom Research in India started in 60s in the states of Himanchal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir and remained confined to these states with focus on White Button Mushroom . Later, a National Seminar on research , production , processing and marketing of mushroom was organized by the ICAR on January 21-22 , 1979 which was inaugurated by the then Prime Minister Shri. Morarji Desai and presided over by Shri. Surjit Singh Barnala the then Union Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation. During this seminar it was recommended to establish a National Research Centre on Mushroom and to strengthen mushroom research under coordinated programmes . As a result National Centre for Mushroom Research and Training (NCMRT) as well as All India Coordinated Mushroom Improvements Projects (AICMIP) was sanctioned in VI th Five Year Plan . NCMRT became operational at Chambaghat , Solan in June , 1983 . It was renamed as National Research Centre for Mushroom in 1997 and upgraded to Directorate of Mushroom Research in December 2008 with its headquarter at Solan Himanchal Pradesh . Being quite industrialized , Solan is widely popular for its mushroom cultivation and bearing the title of “Mushroom City of India” on 10 th September 1997 during the Indian Mushroom Conference Organized jointly by the DMR and Mushroom Society of India .

3. It was established with the objective of undertaking research on all aspects of mushroom and also to impart training to the trainers and growers . Presently AICRPM has its 23 Coordinating and 9 Cooperating Centres in 27 states of the country with the mandate to make survey in the regions , to collect new types of mushroom , to undertake research and examine the adaptability of mushroom and their different strains in different agro – climatic zones of the country and to test the developed technology of ICAR – DMR In the past 37 years of its existence the Directorate has made significant contributions in the field of mushroom research and development in the country . By the concerted efforts of the scientist of ICAR – DMR Solan , Mushroom productivity in the country has almost doubled while production has registered a six fold increase . Currently ICAR – DMR is working on collection , identification , conservation and genetic characterization of mushroom germplasm , development of high yielding varieties , Improvements in production technologies of different edible mushrooms .
