24 June 2026, Sri Vijaya Puram, Andaman & Nicobar Islands

ICAR–Central Island Agricultural Research Institute, Sri Vijaya Puram has developed an innovative Integrated Monitoring and Contamination-Controlled Fly Rearing Unit. The advanced fly rearing system is designed for the efficient, contamination-free rearing of house flies and flesh flies to support studies on the efficacy of their prevention and control measures. The unit enables easy feeding and observation, prevents contamination from fruit flies, ensures uninterrupted colony maintenance, and minimizes fly escape during handling.

The technology was developed by the scientific team comprising Dr. T. Sujatha, Dr. D. Bhattacharya, Dr. B. W. Narladkar, Dr. A. K. De, Dr. Jai Sunder, and Dr. E. B. Chakurkar, former Director, ICAR–CIARI.
