Farmers owning best buffaloes and bulls were identified and were called for meeting at the premises of CIRB.

Since then regular meetings are conducted by the members. Membership campaign has been initiated and buffalo owners are coming forward to become members. It was decided after this stipulated period that the executive committee wil be elected for a period of 3 years.It was decided that role of executive body will be to carry out day to day business like cheque signing, passing of resolutions, conducting meetings etc.Since its establishment, the association is working with full zeal.
