ICAR-Central Institute of Fisheries Education (CIFE) is a leading Fisheries University having a distinguished heritage and has nurtured many illustrious scholars and leaders over the years. In over 50 years of existence¸ CIFE has emerged as a centre of excellence for higher education in fisheries and allied disciplines. The Institute was established on 6th June 1961¸ under the Ministry of Agriculture¸ Govt. of India with assistance from FAO/UNDP. It came under the administrative control of Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) on 16th April 1979 and subsequently¸ the scope and mandate have been widened to include education¸ research and extension.

Recognizing the pivotal role played by CIFE in human resources development in fisheries¸ the institute was conferred the status of Deemed-to-be-University on 29th March 1989. Encouraged by the new status¸ the University grew by leaps and bounds. Building professional capabilities and competencies of more than 4000 State fisheries extension and development personnel since 1961¸ the emphasis has always been on quality education. Now CIFE is a knowledge powerhouse and a brand name in fisheries higher education.
