Kolkata Centre
CIFE, Kolkata Centre has historical importance in imparting fisheries education in India. It was established in 17 th March 1947 as & 'Inland Fisheries Training Centre' (IFTC) under Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute (CIFRI), Barrackpore in West Bengal under Government of India. This Centre was solely responsible for providing trained manpower to fisheries sector in the country as during that time there was no fisheries college or university. It was taken over by CIFE in October, 1967. The CIFE along with its various centres were brought under the fold of the ICAR in April, 1979. The Centre was shifted to its own campus at 32-GN Block, Sector -V, Salt Lake City, Kolkata, on 20th June 1997 and started functioning under the name of “CIFE, KOLKATA CENTRE".
