Dakshin Gangotri was the first scientific base station of India situated in Antarctica, part of the Indian Antarctic Programme. It is located at a distance of 2,500 kilometres (about 1,600 mi) from the South Pole. It is currently being used as a supply base and transit camp. The base is named after Dakshin Gangotri Glacier.

It was established during the third Indian expedition to Antarctica in 1983. This was the first time an Indian team spent a winter in Antarctica to carry out scientific works. The station was built in eight weeks by an 81-member team that included geologist Sudipta Sengupta.

Bharati is an Antarctic research station commissioned by India. It is India's third Antarctic research facility and one of the two active research stations alongside Maitri.

A After a humble beginning, the Indian Antarctic programme has now credited to have built three permanent research base stations in Antarctica-named Dakshin Gangotri, Maitri, and Bharati. As of today, India has two operational research stations in Antarctica named Maitri and Bharati.

The institutes with their correct location are given below:

Indian Institute of Forest Management is situated in Bhopal not in Kolkata. Rest of the pairs are correctly matched.

Central Arid Zone Research Institute (CAZRI) is situated at Jodhpur. It was finally upgraded to Central Arid Zone Research Institute in 1959 under Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi.

To arrest the degradation process and for scientific and sustainable management of the resources, Desert Afforestation Research Station was established in 1952 at Jodhpur. This was later expanded into Desert Afforestation and Soil Conservation Station in 1957, and finally upgraded to Central Arid Zone Research Institute (CAZRI) in 1959 under Indian Council of Agricultural Research, New Delhi. The CAZRI operates through Six Divisions, located at the headquarters in Jodhpur. There are five Regional Research Stations located in different agro-climatic zones (Bikaner, Pali, Jaisalmer, Bhuj and Leh) to work on location-specific problems.
