DESCRIPTION :

In the imperial Gazetteer of India 1878¸ Pusa was recorded as a government estate of about 1350 acres in Darbhanba. It was acquired by East India Company for running a stud farm to supply better breed of horses mainly for the army. Frequent incidence of glanders disease (swelling of glands)¸ mostly affecting the valuable imported bloodstock made the civil veterinary department to shift the entire stock out of Pusa. A British tobacco concern Beg Sutherland & co. got the estate on lease but it also left in 1897 abandoning the government estate of Pusa.

Lord Mayo¸ The Viceroy and Governor General¸ had been repeatedly trying to get through his proposal for setting up a directorate general of Agriculture that would take care of the soil and its productivity¸ formulate newer techniques of cultivation¸ improve the quality of seeds and livestock and also arrange for imparting agricultural education. The government of India had invited a British expert. Dr. J. A. Voelcker who had submitted as report on the development of Indian agriculture. As a follow-up action¸ three experts in different fields were appointed for the first time during 1885 to 1895 namely¸ agricultural chemist (Dr. J. W. Leafer)¸ cryptogamic botanist (Dr. R. A. Butler) and entomologist (Dr. H. Maxwell Lefroy) with headquarters at Dehradun (U.P.) in the forest Research Institute complex.
