The Central Research Institute (CRI) in Kasauli, Himachal Pradesh, is one of India's premier medical research institutions. Established in 1905 by the British Raj to conduct research and produce vaccines for rabies and other infectious diseases, it marks a significant point in India's medical history. Nestled in the scenic Shivalik Range of the Himalayas, this institute has been at the forefront in the development and production of vaccines. It's also involved in accreditation of testing laboratories and pharmacies. The campus is not just a research facility, but also a colonial architectural marvel set amid coniferous trees, green lawns, and flowerbeds. Over time, the Institute has expanded its research to include many other infectious diseases, playing a critical role in public health care in India. Visitors to the Institute can learn about the history of vaccine development in India and see the heritage buildings that are still in use today.
