ICAR-DGR was established in 1979 ( at [Junagadh] by the Founder Director Dr. Durga Prasad Misra), [[Gujarat]] to give a fillip to research for enhancing productivity of groundnut in keeping with its importance among the oilseed crops of India. The research centre came into being as the first crop commodity research unit under the category of NRC's (National Research Centres) of the [[Indian Council of Agricultural Research]], as an autonomous body set up as a registered society. The National Research Centre on Groundnut (NRCG) was elevated to the level of a Directorate in the year 2009 and rechristened as the Directorate of Groundnut Research.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dgr.org.in |title=ICAR-DGR official website |date= |accessdate=2015-04-20}}</ref> | ||
