The Central Sheep and Wool Research Institute is located at which place in Rajasthan?

  1. A.Bikaner
  2. B.Jodhpur
  3. C.Avikanagar in Tonk
  4. D.Jobner in Jaipur

Correct answer

C. Avikanagar in Tonk

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Avikanagar in Tonk. The Central Sheep and Wool Research Institute, an institute of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, works at Avikanagar in Tonk district on sheep and rabbit breeding, wool quality and grazing management. The Avikalin and Avimaans crossbreds developed there carry the place name, which is a useful memory hook.

Option A, Bikaner, hosts the National Research Centre on Camel and the Central Institute for Arid Horticulture, and also the Rajasthan University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, but not the sheep institute. Option B, Jodhpur, is the seat of the Central Arid Zone Research Institute, which studies desert soils, dunes and dryland crops. Option D, Jobner near Jaipur, has Sri Karan Narendra Agriculture University, a teaching university. Keep one institute to one town, because the whole question type lives on this confusion.
