MESSAGE

The FAO International Technical Conference on Plant Genetic Resources held inLeipzig, Germany, formally adopted the Global Plan of Action (GPA) on 23 June 1996and, along with it, a Leipzig Declaration that affirmed government level commitment toimplement the GPA in the context of national efforts to strengthen world food security.The GPA and the Report on the State of the World’s Plant Genetic Resources wereprepared through a unique, country driven process. The process was guided by theCommission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and culminated in theInternational Technical Conference at Leipzig (Germany), attended by 150 countriesand over 50 non-governmental organizations.

The Government of India is one amongst the seven Asian Countries (Bangladesh,India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam) that have signed anagreement with Food & Agriculture of the United Nations to participate in the RegionalCooperative Project “Implementation of the Global Plan of Action for the Conservation& Sustainable Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources for Food & Agriculture (PGRFA) inAsia and the Pacific Region”. The project aims at promoting the implementation of theGPA and to contribute to establishing a continuing monitoring framework of the GPAimplementation at national and regional levels and a mechanism for gathering andsharing information, as well as for priority setting for the GPA implementation.

I am glad that the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), NewDelhi is bringing out the final report of the FAO sponsored project “Establishment of theNational Information Sharing Mechanism on the Implementation of the GPA for theConservation and Sustainable Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources for Food andAgriculture (PGRFA) in India” (GCP/RAS/186/JPN project) funded by Government ofJapan for US$ 53,000.

This project was assigned by Department of Agriculture and Co-operation to NBPGR,New Delhi through Indian Council of Agricultural Research during November 2004 forimplementation. The NBPGR, New Delhi identified 114 stakeholders representing ICARInstitutes, State Agricultural Universities, State Departments of Agriculture, Non-

Governmental Organizations, Private Institutes. Concerted efforts have been made togather relevant information from stakeholders related to PGRFA to establish a centralizedinformation system. The present report is the culmination of these efforts. It brings outthe process undertaken for the establishment of the National Information SharingMechanism on GPA Implementation and includes the analysis of the data gatheredthrough this mechanism as the outcome of this project.

NBPGR has also developed in collaboration with FAO staff a website (http://www.nbpgr.ernet.in) on the National GPA Information Sharing Mechanism, describingits establishment and purpose, listing its participants/stakeholders and making accessiblethe information so far gathered. Using this website, one can have a fair idea of variousactivities related to plant genetic resources in India.

I am sure that the information gathered under this project can be used for effectiveplanning, management and identifying priority areas in the plant genetic resourcesactivities in India. It would also help to eliminate replication of efforts of the variousagencies involved in management of plant genetic resources in India.

FOREWORD

The Global Plan of Action (GPA) represents an important contribution to theimplementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity in the field of food and agricultureand it is one of the supporting elements to the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resourcesfor Food and Agriculture. Its main objectives are (i) to ensure the conservation of plantgenetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) as a basis for food security, (ii) topromote sustainable utilization of PGRFA in order to foster development and to reducehunger and poverty, (iii) to promote a fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising fromthe use of PGRFA, (iv) to assist countries and institutions responsible for conserving andusing PGRFA to identify priorities for action, and (v) to strengthen national, regional andinternational programmes for the conservation and utilization of PGRFA, including educationand training. The GPA provides a normative framework for 20 inter-related activites, whichare organized into four groups: In situ Conservation and Development, Ex situ Conservation,Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources, and Institutions and Capacity Building. Furthermore,a catalyst for both priority-setting and creating synergies among ongoing activities for theconservation and sustainable utilization of PGRFA. The signatory countries are committedto implement the plan, whose overall progress in implementation is monitored through theFAO Commission on Genetic Resources (CGR).

We are very pleased that India and the other six participating countries of the GCP/RAS/186/JPN project are among the first countries to establish a National Information SharingMechanism on the Implementation of GPA (NISM-GPA). The Mechanism is based on theparticipation of stakeholders at national level and seeks to promote information exchangeand strengthen stakeholder cooperation, thereby contributing to enhance the capacity ofthe national programmes for the conservation and sustainable utilization of plant geneticresources. The Mechanism uses a computer application that facilitates the documentation,management and analysis of the information addressed by a list of indicators and a relatedreporting format for monitoring the implementation of the GPA activities in the country.

We recognize the excellent leadership played by the National Bureau of Plant GeneticResources (NBPGR), Indian Council of Agricultural Research, Ministry of Agriculture, in thewhole process in establishing the NISM-GPA in India. The ability of NBPGR to bring togetherover one hundred stakeholders from around the country to discuss and share knowledgeabout the GPA, the purposes and the activities of the NISM-GPA and to commit stakeholdersto collaborate in establishing the Mechanism was highly commendable. The many meetingsand training workshops on the use of the computer application for gathering information,validation of data and the preparation and review of the draft report that were organized bythe NBPGR requires tremendous efforts and time of its responsible staff members, particularlythe authors of the report. The collaboration and time devoted to this work by the participatingstakeholders and the support from the FAO and the GCP/RAS/186/JPN project are important

factors contributing to the success in the establishment of the Mechanism. The guidanceand advices provided by the members of the two National Coordination and MonitoringCommittee of the GPA project played a very vital part in the achievement of the project.

We are very pleased that a vast amount of very useful information on PGR activitiesthroughout the country has been gathered and documented in the NISM-GPA database,which has now been made accessible to the public. We believe that the information anddata presented in this well synthesized report and the available database will help in effectiveplanning of projects and identifying priority areas in plant genetic resources in India. Theestablishment of the NISM-GPA would also enhance coordination and collaboration ofactivites and reduce duplication of efforts among the various agencies in India. Theinformation will also be very useful for other countries and interested parties.

The FAO International Technical Conference on Plant Genetic Resources held in Leipzig,Germany, formally adopted the Global Plan of Action (GPA) on 23 June 1996 and, with it, aLeipzig Declaration that affirmed government-level commitment to implementing the GPAin the context of national efforts to strengthen world food security. The GPA and the Reporton the State of the World’s Plant Genetic Resources were prepared through a unique,country-driven process. The process was guided by the Commission on Genetic Resourcesfor Food and Agriculture and culminated in the International Technical Conference, attendedby 150 countries and over 50 non-governmental organisations.

The Government of India is among the seven Asian countries (Bangladesh, India,Malaysia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam) that signed agreement with theFood and Agriculture of the United Nations (FAO) to participate in the regional cooperativeproject “Implementation of the Global Plan of Action (GPA) for the Conservation andSustainable Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA) inAsia and the Pacific Region”, GCP/RAS/186/JPN, a project funded by Government of Japan.The project aims to promote the implementation of the GPA and to contribute to establishinga monitoring framework of the GPA implementation at national and regional levels and amechanism for gathering and sharing information, as well as for priority setting for GPAimplementation.

One of the main immediate objectives of this project is to establish a National InformationSharing Mechanism on the implementation of GPA (NISM-GPA) in each of the participatingcountries for enhancing coordination of plans and activities on conservation and sustainableutilization of PGRFA amongst stakeholders and for sharing information.

The NISM-GPA databases put online (http://www.nbpgr.ernet.in) for sharing with thestakeholders and other interested parties are the culmination of hard work made during thepast 18 months by the national focal point of the project and numerous national stakeholdersin India, with some technical support from the FAO and the GCP/RAS/186/JPN project. Themodest funding support provided by the GCP/RAS/186/JPN project and FAO wassupplemented with actual and in kind contributions from the Government of India.

It is a network of 114 public and private institutions which conserve and/or use plantgenetic resources in India. Its objective is to share information related to Indian PGRFA and,in particular, to the implementation of the GPA.

In the present report, the process of establishment of NISM-GPA in India, data analysisand reporting based on the data submitted by the stakeholders in the categories - state ofdiversity; state of in situ management; state of ex situ management; state of use; state ofnational programmes; training and legislation; state of regional and international collaboration;access to plant genetic resources and sharing of benefits arising out of their use, and farmers’rights and the contribution of PGRFA management to food security and sustainabledevelopment have been discussed.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Seven Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka,Thailand and Vietnam have signed an agreement with the Food and Agriculture of theUnited Nations (FAO) to participate in the regional cooperative project “Implementation ofthe Global Plan of Action (GPA) for the Conservation and Sustainable Utilization of PlantGenetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGFRA) in Asia and the Pacific Region”,funded by the Government of Japan. The project aims to promote the implementation of theGPA and to contribute in establishing a monitoring framework of the GPA implementation atnational and regional levels.

In India, the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), New Delhi wasidentified by the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India as the lead center to implementthe project. One of the immediate objectives of this project was to establish a NationalInformation Sharing Mechanism on the implementation of GPA (NISM-GPA) in the countryfor enhancing coordination of plans and activities on conservation and sustainableutilization of PGRFA amongst stakeholders and for sharing information, as well as forpriority setting for the GPA implementation. A network of 114 public and private institutionsinvolved in conservation and/or use of plant genetic resource (PGR) in India has beendeveloped.

The NISM in the Monitoring of the Implementation of the GPA has been a very usefulexercise in India. This project has helped in identifying the institutions involved in PGRrelated activities and the synthesis of all the PGR work in India. Perceiving the greatthreat to PGR, last three decades have witnessed deployment of large resources for exsitu conservation particularly in genebanks. The National Genebank at NBPGR currentlyholds more than 311,554 accessions of germplasm belonging to about 600 species. Inaddition, there are more than 50 National Active Germplasm Sites (NAGS) as integralpart of national plant biodiversity conservation network. The NAGS conserve germplasmas active/working collections in modules maintained at 4-80C and 35-40% relative humidity,which are used in on-going research and crop improvement efforts. However, the wildrelatives are poorly represented in most of the ex situ collections and priorities in themajor food crops should be to collect mainly for gaps in collections with trait-specific andarea-specific explorations; to collect the wild and weedy relatives of under-utilized cropsand a number of native species that occur in the wild which are utilitized for medicinalpurposes in the traditional health care systems. Though, it is encouraging that a largenumber of PGR have been assembled representing a broad range of diversity particularlyin major food crops, only some of these have been used in the breeding programmes. Anational effort by multi-disciplinary teams of scientists for the characterization (includingmolecular characterization), evaluation and pre-breeding programmes, usingbiotechnological tools, wherever required, would provide the required thrust for utilisation

of conserved PGR. The PGR conservation is a long-term, resource-intensive commitment,but is imperative for sustainable development and for posterity.

Inspite of commendable efforts in ex situ conservation, a serious lack of effort andinstitutional mandate is felt in the area of in situ management of PGR specially the cropspecies, wild food plants and wild related species. For PGR, due emphasis on in situ on-farm conservation of old varieties, traditional cultivars and landraces is required, as theseare the storehouse of desirable traits such as drought tolerance, heat tolerance, diseaseresistance and sustainable yield. These are the potential resources for development ofnew improved varieties. Information generated under this project can be used for effectiveplanning and identifying priority areas of research. It will also help to eliminate duplicationin efforts of the various agencies. Gaps in PGR activities would be filled with certaintyand not based on speculation. As part of awareness raising and strategic development,policy makers in the country would be supplied with vital information on PGR relevant topolitical debate and interested parties would be given appropriate advice.

INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION

The project entitled “The Implementation of the Global Plan of Action (GPA) for theConservation and Sustainable Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources for Food andAgriculture (PGRFA) in Asia and the Pacific” is a cooperative project between Food andAgriculture Organization (FAO), Government of India and Indian Council of AgriculturalResearch (ICAR) and six other member countries in Asia (project no. GCP/RAS/186/JPN). It aims to contribute towards enhanced world food security and socio-economicdevelopment, reduced poverty and more sustainable agricultural systems throughconservation and sustainable use of PGRFA. Its immediate objectives are to

(a) Promote the implementation of the twenty priority activities of the GPA for theconservation and sustainable utilization of PGRFA.

(b) Contribute towards establishment of a continuing monitoring framework of the GPAimplementation at national and regional level and a mechanism for gathering andsharing information, as well as setting priorities for GPA implementation:

(i) thorough assessment of the present status of PGRFA in the country and theregion for identification of needs and effective strategies for conservation andutilization of PGRFA.

(ii) establishment of a national information sharing (clearing-house) mechanismon the GPA implementation (NISM-GPA) to enhance coordination of plans andactivities on conservation and utilization of PGRFA amongst stakeholders andfor achieving the objective (a).

(iii) capacity building and training for National PGRFA Programmes.

(iv) sharing of experiences in PGRFA in situ conservation, and on-farm management.

(v) improvement of regional cooperation.

Thus, the scope of this project covers genetic resources of all plant species withpotential for food and agriculture, in situ management and development, ex situconservation, utilization and institution and capacity building within the framework ofthe GPA. The project works with the national partners and collaborates with regionaland international organizations, especially Biodiversity International and otherConsultative Group on International Agricultural Research centres and networks in theregion.

Seven countries, namely, Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka,Thailand and Vietnam participated in this project which was funded by the Governmentof Japan.

Approach for Monitoring the Implementation of the GPA

Activities under the GCP/RAS/186/JPN project commenced in June 2003. At thattime, the FAO Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (CGRFA)was considering a new approach for monitoring the GPA implementation, which wasbeing developed by FAO with inputs from Biodiversity International. This was in linewith the recommendations made by the Inter-governmental Technical Working Groupon PGRFA in 2001. The new approach envisaged a country-driven, participatory andcapacity building process which culminated with the establishment of a NISM-GPA.

NISM-GPA is based on a set of internationally agreed indicators and reporting formatfor monitoring the GPA implementation and an information system developed to facilitateand simplify recording, processing, analysis and sharing of the information addressedby the indicators and the reporting format. The indicators and the reporting format weredeveloped in consultation with an expert group at a meeting convened by FAO andBiodiversity International in February 2002 (CGRFA-9/02/Inf.2).

The new monitoring approach was tested in a pilot study in several countries duringthe later part of 2003 and early 2004. Based on the results from this study, some revisionsor modifications were made in the Indicators and Reporting Format during an EvaluationMeeting on Pilot Testing in May 2004. The revised Indicators and Reporting Formatwere adopted by the Commission on its 10th Session in November 2004 (CGRFA-10/04/Inf.5). Since then, several revisions and updated versions of the computer applicationfor the NISM have been released for use by the countries, the most recent being version3.8.

The FAO-GCP/RAS/186/JPN project took advantage of this development, adoptedthe new approach for monitoring GPA implementation and its components in order toassess the current status of PGRFA and identify gaps and priorities for carrying outfurther work in each participating country. The project contributed to the revision of theindicators and the development of the NISM-GPA computer application.

Objectives of the GPA Monitoring Approach

The main objectives of the new GPA monitoring approach, which culminated withthe establishment of a National Information Sharing Mechanism on GPA implementation,were to:

� Improve countries’ capacity to manage information on PGRFA

REPORT ON NISM-GPA

7

� Increase visibility of on-going efforts, as well as access to the sharing ofinformation about PGRFA at national, regional and global levels

� Promote understanding of status and dynamics of these resources

� Allow meaningful analysis of gaps and priorities

� Improve decision-making for planning of available resources

� Build stronger partnerships among stakeholders for management of PGRFAwithin each country

� Enhance countries’ capacities to meet international reporting commitments (e.g.GPA implementation, Second Report of the State of the World’s PGRFA, CGRFA,CBD)

The process for applying the new monitoring approach and establishing NISM-GPArequires the involvement of a wide range of stakeholders of PGRFA. These would includedifferent government departments and ministries, research and educational institutions,private sector, NGOs and international organizations in the country. Through thisparticipatory process, all stakeholders were called to contribute in establishment of theMechanism within their own information, experience and perspectives.

Information that was gathered and compiled under the NISM provided a thoroughassessment of the state of PGR in the country and for the identification of needs andpriorities on PGR activities. Furthermore, the information gathered through the sameprocesses in different countries in the region and around the world would allow a betteranalysis of the status of PGRFA on a regional and global scale, based on the needassessment of the countries involved. Thus, country-driven national, regional and globalstrategies for in situ conservation and development, ex-situ conservation, utilizationand institution and capacity building could be properly addressed and developed1. Theseprocesses would also contribute in enhanced cooperation and collaboration amongnations, regional networks and international organizations in effective implementationof the GPA.

Expected outputs of the project on establishing NISM-GPA

As a result of the application of the new monitoring approach and the establishmentof the NISM-GPA, two reports have been produced and a dataset made available.

1. A synthesis report on the process for establishing the NISM-GPA, pertaining tothe involvement of stakeholders, data collection and sharing, results on theanalysis of data collected, success and failure if any, and lessons learned from

the process including recommendations for further improvement on the processand the computer application if any and plan for its future maintenance.

2. A country report on the state of PGRFA2, based on the analysis of data gatheredthrough the application of the new monitoring approach, including identificationof needs and priorities for further work to fully implement the GPA in the countryhas been prepared.

3. A data set on the GPA implementation has been made available for access bythe public through the Internet and/or CDs.

ROLE OF THE NATIONAL FOCAL POINT AND STAKEHOLDERS

National Focal Point

In India the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resource, New Delhi, has beenappointed as the National Focal Point by Govt. of India to carry out followingresponsibilities-

� To prepare reports on the GPA implementation for submission to the FAO-GCP/RAS/186/JPN project and CGRFA

� To coordinate and facilitate in-country activities of information exchange andpresenting reports at national, regional and international fora

� To initiate, organize and direct the involvement of stakeholders

� To revise and complete the Common Tables in the Computer Application, to beused as a reference information by stakeholders to facilitate data entry

� To organize the in-country stakeholders’ meetings

2The Tenth Regular Session of the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture held at theFAO headquarters in Rome, 8 – 12 November 2004 adopted the FAO Guidelines for preparation of thesecond report on the state of the world’s PGRFA as well as the new approach for monitoring the GPAimplementation. It was stressed by the Commission in its previous Session that the preparatory process forthe second Report is to be fully integrated with the process of the new approach of monitoring theimplementation of the GPA. Guidelines for country reports (CGRFA-10/04/Inf.8) for the preparation of thesecond report on the state of the world’s PGRFA were prepared by FAO, at the request of the Commissionand its Working Group on Plant Genetic Resources. To ensure integration of the preparation of the countryreport and the process for monitoring the GPA, the questions and tables contained in the Indicators andReporting Format (CGRFA-10/04/Inf.5) are cross-referenced under each of the relevant chapters of thecountry report. The Commission adopted the guidelines for member countries for the preparation of theirreport for the second state of the world’s PGRFA.

The project meeting held in Chiang Mai in February 2005 agreed to adopt the FAO guidelines as closely aspossible for the preparation of the country report on the status of (or state of) the implementation of the GPA,including the needs and priority for the future. The project member countries shall also prepare a synthesisreport on the process for establishing the NISM-GPA, as detailed in point 1 above.

THE PROCESSTHE PROCESSTHE PROCESSTHE PROCESSTHE PROCESS

A. BACKGROUND

The process for the establishment of the NISM began in 2004 through a Letter ofAgreement (Annexure XVI) signed between Department of Agriculture and Cooperation,Government of India and the FAO.

All activities foreseen under this Agreement have been coordinated by the NBPGR.These can be grouped into three distinct phases: a preparatory phase, an implementationphase and a reporting phase.

During the preparatory phase, work focused on reviewing all materials, briefing andraising awareness among authorities and getting necessary permissions to undertake acollaborative information sharing process that includes the national PGR programme,the private sector, civil society organizations and other public sector organizations. Acommittee of key stakeholders was formed to guide the GPA monitoring process, andidentify stakeholders to be involved in the preparation of country report.

The implementation phase involved a number of stakeholders’ meetings andworkshops to explain the process, train stakeholders in the use of the computerapplication for gathering information and discuss the results achieved. Direct technicalassistance to stakeholders was also provided during this phase.

During the reporting phase, data gathered by stakeholders was analyzed and tworeports were drafted and discussed with participating stakeholders. A website describingthe mechanism, which included a database search engine for the NISM-GPA databasewas developed, using the web page installer and a customized web page sampleprovided by the FAO GCP/RAS/186/JPN project. The information is made publiclyavailable and is accessible through the URL: http://www.nbpgr.ernet.in.

A brief description of the meetings and decisions taken during the establishmentprocess of the NISM, as well as a summary of the outcome and future plans are providedin the following sections.

FUTURE PLAN FOR CONTINUATION OF NISM

Following activities were agreed upon during the workshops to be carried out forthe implementation of National Information Sharing Mechanism at a faster pace.

� The Indian Government would be requested to make financial commitment tothe Information Sharing Mechanism on PGRFA in its budget.

� The National Mechanism on GPA implementation should in future involve alarger number of stakeholders including State Departments of Agriculture, NGO’s,Community Based Organizations (CBOs), etc.

� The GPA Monitoring and Co-ordination committee should hold periodic meetingsto review the progress of NISM and suggest further action in this regard.

REPORT ON NISM-GPA

20

� National Focal Point should package the information gathered for targettedgroups to suit their interests.

� Communication channels and networks should be actively maintained to transmitresults from the pilot testing project to politicians, decision makers, policy makers,resource users and their service organizations.

� Formalize the Information Sharing Mechanism in all stakeholder institutions tofacilitate information release and exchange on PGRFA.

� Participants of the ‘Training Workshop’ should train other colleagues in the useof the NISM-GPA Computer Application with the active support of the NationalFocal Point.

� Nodal Officers should report to the Directors/Heads of their organizations aboutthe process of establishing the National Information-Sharing Mechanism onthe implementation of the GPA for PGRFA and provide regular updates to theNational Focal Point.

� All efforts should be made to integrate all PGRFA activities in the framework ofa unified national programme in a project mode.

� Public awareness should be promoted as much as possible in all PGRFAactivities to target audiences and partners through appropriate channels in thecountry.

RESOURCES REQUIRED FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NISM

� A high capacity computer server with high capacity dedicated link should beeither assigned to NBPGR or should be rented for hosting the NISM databaseand web site.

� Separate computers with accessories and internet connections should beprovided to all the Nodal Officers so that they can regularly update the informationrelated to NISM and send it to the National Co-coordinator.

CONCLUSIONS

The NISM on Implementation of the GPA has been very useful in bringing all theinstitutes involved in PGR related activities to a common platform, thereby generatingcomprehensive information on PGR work in India. The information gathered could beused for effective planning of projects and for identifying priority areas. It would alsohelp to eliminate duplication in efforts of the various agencies. Gaps identified in PGRFAactivities are based on actual data and not on speculation. As part of awareness raisingand strategic development, policy makers in the country would be supplied with vitalinformation on PGRFA. This would help to promote coherence and collaboration ofwork between different sectors, like, environment and agriculture. As much as possiblethe implementation of the NISM should be strongly linked with other areas of nationalpolicy.

“Common Tables” of the National Information Sharing Mechanism

The nine “common tables” that are used throughout the Electronic Reporting Formatwere filled in/updated by NBPGR to the extent possible and in collaboration withstakeholders. This information served to detail and substantiate answers provided bystakeholders and the National Focal Point in the reporting format. In particular, informationrelated to organisations, projects, taxon, cultivars, references and regulations related toPGRFA in the country was recorded under these nine “common tables”. To complete/update them, data from existing sources to the extent possible, such as previous countryreports, web sites and NBPGR database were initially used. Gaps in the informationwere discussed and sorted out in consultation with the stakeholders. At present, thenine “common tables” under the NISM represent the most complete inventory of PGRFArelated organisations, projects, taxon, cultivars, references and regulations in the country.

The total number of entries recorded under the common tables is reported in Table 2.

Table 2: Entries in the Common Tables of the National Information Sharing Mechanism (2005)

Name and Description of the Common Table Entries

1. ORGANIZATIONS table’ (instab) contains contact information on institutes, 1,671organizations and networks, as well as departments or subordinate structureswithin them. The field ‘parent organization’ is used to build hierarchies amongthe table entries.

2. The ‘CONTACT PERSONS table’ (pertab) contains contact information on 1,618persons, including phone and email address. Persons are usually associatedwith organizations in the organization table, where the mail address is stored.

3. The ‘PROJECTS table’ (protab) collects data on programmes, projects, 1,171activities, plans, courses, etc. A flag field indicates the context and servesfor analysis and filtering entries that belong to different priority activity areas.

Defining Indicators for Uniform Answering of Questions

To ensure that the core indicators were well understood, they were discussed indetail during the National Workshop and the first Regional Workshop. This was essentialas different stakeholders may have perceived the indicators in their own way and theinput thus received would be inconsistent and difficult for final interpretation. Therefore,a common approach to gather the information was adopted and conveyed to the variousstakeholders during the first national workshop. In the following chapters, an analysis ofthe data gathered under NISM is presented in the format of Second Report of the Stateof the World’s Plant Genetic Resources.

The Indian subcontinent is very rich in biological diversity, harbouring around 49,000species of plants, including about 18,000 species of higher plants. The Indian gene centreholds a prominent position among the 12 mega gene centres of the world. It is also oneof the Vavilovian centres of origin and diversity of crop plants. Two out of the 25 globalhotspots of biodiversity, namely the Indo-Burma and Western Ghats/Sri Lanka, occurhere4. It possesses 11.9% of world flora with 5,725 endemic species of higher plantsbelonging to about 141 endemic genera and over 47 families. About 166 species of cropsincluding 25 major and minor crops have originated and/or developed diversity in thispart of the world5.

The major crops of Indian origin are rice, pigeon pea, sesame, brinjal, okra, mango,wheat, barley (regional centre of diversity), cucumber, citrus, sugarcane, urdbean,mungbean, mothbean, spices like black pepper, greater cardamom, ginger, greencardamom, etc. The country is also a secondary centre of diversity for crops like sorghum,pearl-millet, cowpea, maize, chilli, tomato, amaranth and pumpkin. Other important cropsgrown in India include onion, sugarcane, groundnut, rapeseed-mustard, soybean, tea,coffee, sunflower and among horticultural crops banana, citrus, grapes, cashew andvegetables of European origin (Table 4). Further, 320 species of wild relatives of cropplants are also known to occur here6.

The indigenous plant wealth has been supplemented by introduction of species andforms that have greatly enriched the local flora. These introduced species also diversifiedin India due to isolation over time and space, diversity in climate and human intervention.The geographical proximity with the Indo-Chinese-Indonesian, the Chinese-Japanese,the Central and West Asian centres of diversity has helped in considerably augmenting

our crop plants resources. The influx of genetic material from the Mediterranean, Africancentre, the European and American regions in the past has also resulted in accumulationand diversification of enormous genetic variability. The ancient travellers, traders andreligious missionaries contributed significantly towards enriching the agro-biodiversity inthe Indian gene centre.

The importance of some of the major crops and processed items can also beevaluated from the quantity and value of export of principal agricultural commoditiesgiven in Table 5.

Rice, wheat and grain legumes constitute the major crops and are the most importantfor food security in India. Relative local importance is given to other crops like chickpea,pigeonpea, sorghum, maize, pearl millet and minor millets. Cotton, sunflower, soybean,

B. DIVERSITY WITHIN AND BETWEEN CROPS

Diversity of Major Crops

The diversity in genetic resources and their wild relatives is distributed in differentagro-ecological regions of the country. The number of species in wild relatives of cropplants in these regions are: 125 in warm humid tropical/ sub-tropical western Himalayas,132 in north-eastern region, 82 in eastern Himalayas, 66 in Gangetic plains, 45 in western/Sutlej plains, 145 in western peninsular region/ Malabar and 91 in eastern peninsularregion/ Deccan Plateau.

The wild and weedy relatives of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) extensively distributedin India include, O. nivara, O. rufipogon, O. officinalis, O. malampuzhaensis andPorteresia coarctata. Among the major food crops, India harbours great diversity in rice.The foothills of Himalayas, Chattisgarh and Jeypore tract of Orissa are the regionsharbouring maximum diversity. The wild relatives based on economic importance indifferent agricultural and horticultural crops are 51 in cereals and millets, 31 in legumes,

Diversity in major cereal crops like wheat, pearl millet, sorghum is decreasing atlocal level, although rice diversity at local level appears to have sustained owing to foodpreferences and social security of the farmers growing rice.

Diversity of Minor Crops and Underutilized Species

There is an increasing focus on exploring opportunities to tap the potential of minorand underutilized species to meet the demand of an ever-increasing population.Pseudocereals like amaranth, buckwheat and chenopods are rich sources of proteinand amino acids. Minor millets like ragi, foxtail millet and barnyard millet have highminerals and vitamins. Thus, the role of underutilized species in enlarging the base offood and nutritional security has now become a global issue. In India and other developingcountries which are diversity rich and hold enormous indigenous knowledge, researchand development in underutilized species is gaining momentum because of theiradaptability to local agro-ecosystems, farming systems and degraded and marginallands. Also, local crops have high genetic diversity, low pest-risk, multi-purpose usesand scope for value addition. Moreover, they are well-tuned to native/traditional farmingpractices with low inputs and provide food and nutritional security to rural communities.Minor millets and coarse grains like amaranth, buckwheat and chenopods haveconsiderable diversity in northern hills. These areas are also rich in minor fruits.

Diversity of Wild Edible Plants

The ethnic and cultural diversity of the country has also contributed to richness ofplant genetic diversity. There are over 427 tribal communities which is 9.74 % of thetotal population, comprising 227 ethnic groups, spread over 5,000 forest villages. Thesetribal communities and ethnic tribes use 1,532 wild edible plant species, including 145of roots and tubers, 521 leafy green vegetables, 101 bulbs and flowers, 647 fruits and118 seeds and nuts2.

The wild relative species strength in other genera are, 15 in Cajanus, one in Cicer,three in Sesamum, 10 in Vigna, 32 in Solanum, three in Mangifera, and 50 in Piper.

Diversity of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants

There are about 7,500 species of medicinal and aromatic plants mainly in humidregions distributed in the tropical and temperate forests of the Indian sub-continent.These are still largely used in traditional indigenous systems of medicine and are gatheredfrom the wild relatives. The important ones, for example, are Rauvolfia serpentina,Ocimum spp., Cymbopogon spp., Emblica officinalis, Swertia chirayta, Podophyllumhexandrum, Nardostachys jatamansi, etc.

REPORT ON NISM-GPA

Nearly 5,000 species have been found useful and these include both wild andcultivated plants. Under the All India Coordinated Research Project on Ethnobiologyabout 8,900 species used by tribal communities have been recorded of which 3,900 areused for food. The wild edible plants of India, enumerated include over 1,000 species ofwhich various plant parts being used are given below9:

i. Roots and tubers: 145 species of which 33 are cultivated and/ or maintained bynative communities in home gardens/ backyards.

ii. Leafy vegetables: 521 species of which 72 are domesticated/ semi-domesticated.

iii. Flowers and buds: 101 species of which 15 are cultivated and others occur inbackyards.

iv. Fruits: 647 species of which 107 are cultivated and some are only grown ashomestead cultigens.

v. Seeds and nuts: 118 species of which 25 are cultivated and/ or occur inbackyards.

About 120 species constitute the domesticated/ semi-domesticated native diversity.

In addition, it is also observed that inventories and surveys of wild plants for foodproduction and of crop-associated biodiversity are being undertaken. There is arecognizable genetic vulnerability resulting from loss of diversity grown by farmers in thecountry. The number of modern varieties used is increasing and the number of landraces/farmers’ varieties being used is decreasing.

C. RELATIVE IMPORTANCE (FOOD SECURITY, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL) OF

DIFFERENT CROPS AND THEIR PRODUCTS

The relative importance of various crops is changing significantly over the past tenyears. Oil seed crops like soybean, sunflower and groundnut have gained more acreageduring these years leading to decrease in cultivation of other crops of local importancebecause of the economic and policy changes. Land surveys and inventories,environmental impact assessments, gene bank monitoring, monitoring of reports ofland use changes are some of the important measures in this regard.

Factors responsible for Genetic Erosion in India

� Variety replacement

� Economic pressures

� Overexploitation-overgrazing; land clearing and deforestation

� Urbanization and human population growth

� Environmental effects – recurrent droughts, invasive alien species – pest anddisease; etc

D. FUTURE NEEDS AND PRIORITIES

Agricultural ecosystems that harbour diversity of PGRFA are more in a state of flux,as compared to other natural ecosystems, since cropping patterns can change everyseason. Thus, there is a great need to assess the state of PGRFA diversity at regularintervals to record changes, if any in species as well as genetic erosion. This needs tobe done at three levels:

1) Loss of diversity in farming systems using continued analysis of land usepatterns.

2) Assessment of loss of crop diversity within a crop species through geneticdiversity analysis.

3) Assessment of loss of diversity of wild and weedy relatives at in situ level.

The data provided by stakeholders indicated that regular survey and update isrequired to assess status of PGRFA with reference to number of crops cultivated in anarea and number of varieties of each crop being cultivated in that area. Similar situationis seen in relation to diversity available in situ. There is a need for further research inthis area and regular updation programmes in relation to distribution of wild relativesand assessment of genetic erosion.

Despite the fact that a lot of survey and inventorization of PGRFA has been doneover the years under various programmes at NBPGR, it’s regional stations and projecton plant biodiversity (under the National Agricultural Technology Project)* there is aneed to collect more information from unexplored areas as well as areas explored morethan 20 years back. Such surveys should use modern tools such as GIS for mappingPGRFA.

To better understand the roles and values of the diversity of PGRFA, emphasisshould be given on the food and cultural habits of the tribal communities of the countrywhich are highly dependent on local diversity for their survival. Genetic erosion needsto be globally monitored through networking systems based on regular sampling ofvarieties and their data analysis against a time line using statistical and molecular tools.International linkages, project formulation and sufficient funding for such activities needto be explored. Training on the study of genetic erosion needs to be given to at leastone plant breeder from each crop based Institute/Agricultural University and such trainingis also required in developing and using early warning systems for controlling geneticerosion.

In situ conservation of PGR forms an integral part of the biodiversity conservationprogrammes in India. The programme of biosphere reserves was initiated under the‘Man and Biosphere’ (MAB) Programme by UNESCO in 1971. The purpose of formationof biosphere reserves was to conserve in situ all forms of life, alongwith its supportsystem so that it could serve as a system for monitoring and evaluating changes innatural ecosystems. Establishment of forest area reserves, national parks and protectedareas is being promoted to facilitate in situ conservation. The Biosphere ReservesProgramme was launched by the MoEF, with the objective of identifying representativeecosystem which are still in pristine condition and to strengthen the conservation effortskeeping in view the livelihood needs of the people. Consequently, 13 biosphere reserveshave been designated (Table 7) of which three namely, Nilgiris, Sunderbans and Gulf ofMannar are included in the World Network of Biosphere Reserves (MoEF, 200410). Underthe UN World Heritage Convention, five protected areas have been designated WorldHeritage Sites; and consequent to the country becoming a party to the RamsarConvention, six wetlands (Chilka Lake, Keoladeo Ghana National Park, Wular Lake,Harike Lake, Sambhar Lake, Loktak Lake) have been designated as Ramsar sites forconserving the ecological characteristics. In addition, there are 92 National Parks and500 wildlife sanctuaries in the country covering an area of 15.67 million ha (MoEF,2004). Further, adopting a participatory approach Joint Forest Management programmes,integrating the ecological and socio-economic parameters for sustainable conservationof ecosystems have been undertaken. Under the programme, the local communitiesand the state governments have defined roles and responsibilities with regard to forestprotection and development. While ensuring forest conservation the local communitiesare provided with alternative sources of livelihoods and assured access to forest andrelated produce. Twenty eight states have adopted this programme which involves 8.4million families that manage around 17.33 million ha forests land. The establishment ofsanctuaries in Tura range in Garo Hills of Meghalaya for conservation of rich nativediversity of wild Citrus and Musa species, and for Rhododendron and orchids in Sikkimare the examples of in situ conservation of economically important species.

The important threats listed by stakeholders include - introduction of new high yieldingand improved cultivars, urbanization, deforestation, shifting cultivation, over-exploitationand lack of regeneration, genetic erosion, human interference, faulty and unscrupulouscollection, modernization of agriculture, biotic and abiotic stresses, natural disastersand lack of availability of seeds of local varieties.

Some of the important findings related to inventories and surveys are listed below:

� The survey and inventorization activities have been included in the draft nationalbiodiversity action plan, including training needs in survey and inventorization ofPGRFA in the country.

� The adequacy of Indian efforts to survey and inventorize PGRFA in the countryare reflected in the on-going plans for the PGRFA in all priority activity areas ofthe country.

� The main constraints indicated in survey and inventorization of PGRFA in thecountry are lack of focused and co-ordinated approach by the concernedorganizations, insufficient financial support and need for strengthening skills oftechnical staff. The organizations which have reported in situ conservationactivities are doing these in isolation.

� For promotion of conservation of crop wild relatives and wild plants relevant tofood production, programmes have been developed and reasonable progresshas been recorded.

� Despite a strong national policy support for the conservation of crop wild relatives,they are not usually focussed in Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs).

� For development of effective conservation strategies, there is a need forprioritizing collection of threatened landraces and species. This requires selectionof both, the area and the species. There is a constraint of trained manpowerand lack of effective conservation facilities including infrastructure.

B. ON-FARM MANAGEMENT AND IMPROVEMENT OF PGRFA

The NBPGR-NATP Mission Mode Project (2000-05) on household food andnutritional security focussed on tribal areas and local communities in 10 states of India.The project emphasized on identification of life support crop species, horticultural speciesand vegetable gardening, domestic animal species and fisheries in these areas. Thethrust was on value addition of the local germplasm and also impact assessment aftercompletion of the first phase of activities. An over all increase in household income,availability of food and nutrition was assessed in all the areas adopted under the project.

The MS Swaminathan Research Foundation, Chennai (NGO), has successfullyapplied bottom-up efforts to conserve local agro-biodiversity by linking the livelihoodsecurity of villagers with the wider ecological security of the region. It has establishedeffective community agro-biodiversity conservation and management programmes aimedat integrated village development in tribal groups particularly in the Jeypore tract of Orissa.The tribal communities of Tola, Baliguda, Patraput, Kashiguda, Nuaguda and Mohulivillages are involved in participatory plant breeding and the compilation of communitybiodiversity registers, which have been combined with the development of communityseed and grain banks. The initiative has resulted in the revitalisation of on-farmconservation traditions and livelihood systems (MSSRF, 200512).

In situ on-farm conservation of paddy in Bastar area of Chattisgarh by NBPGR;Indira Gandhi Agricultural University, Raipur and International Rice Research Institute(IRRI) is another interesting activity. Over 60 landraces of rice have been geneticallyidentified out of over 300 collected from Orissa. Molecular diversity studies in someminor millets from the tribal-tracts of Orissa is also being undertaken. Preliminary studieshave been undertaken for management of plant diversity in traditional ecosystems ofwestern Himalayas in Uttaranchal state13. Existing crop genetic diversity at inter and

intra species level was assessed mainly in rice, french bean, amaranth, buckwheat andbarnyard millet. Factors for change in crop composition and farming systems during therecent past were studied, with farmer management of rice landraces, in detail. Variousbenefit enhancing options for farmers from local crop diversity were identified based onfarmers perception and priorities for efficient management of local crop diversity on-farm and its sustainable utilization for agricultural production.

� The level of integration into national programme(s) has been reported to be lowand the level of priority of on-farm management on PGRFA within nationalprogrammes is reported to be medium.

� The major limitation for on-farm management and improvement of PGRFA inthe country are inadequate incentives to the farmers and not a national priority.The other limitations reported are insufficient seed/planting material, number ofstaff, skills and staff training and financial support (Figure 1).

� The frequency of activities carried out in the country to promote on-farmmanagement and improvement of PGRFA in the following areas is considered tobe occasional.

� Community-based research� Participatory plant breeding� Participatory cultivar selection� Processing and packaging� Market development� Strengthening local seed supply� Diversity fairs and seed exchange� Increasing public awareness

� Fourteen stakeholders are working on crop wild relatives and wild plants. Fourprogrammes and 11 activities developed for conservation of crop wild relativesand wild plants for food and agriculture, have reported significant progress in16 crop species14.

� Four programmes are in place to support community-based management ofcrop wild relatives and wild plants15 in non-protected areas.

� An Act to regulate conservation of biological diversity, sustainable use of itscomponents and fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the useof biological resources, along with associated knowledge has been recentlypassed by Indian Government (The Biological Diversity Act 2002 and Rules2004).

C. RESTORATION OF AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS FOLLOWING DISASTERS

� The greatest constraint recognized for restoration of disaster-struck agriculturesystems is the absence of collecting, inventorying and conservation activities inthese areas, prior to the advent of disaster (Figure 2).

� There is a mechanism within the country to facilitate rapid acquisition,multiplication, distribution and cultivation of germplasm, following natural disasters.This includes the assessment of the farmers needs. The information on the localseed supply system is adequate to identify and facilitate germplasm re-introduction.

� However, there is a great need for strengthening adequate linkages withinformation systems (including indigenous knowledge) for appropriate trackingof germplasm required for restoration.

D. IN SITU CONSERVATION OF WILD CROP RELATIVES AND WILD PLANTS FORFOOD PRODUCTION

Several civil society organizations in association with national and internationalagencies are engaged in situ conservation of targetted species. For example, Foundationfor Revitalisation of Local Health Traditions in collaboration with the State ForestDepartments of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, withthe support of Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA) and United NationDevelopment Programme (UNDP) have established 54 forest gene bank sites calledMedicinal Plant Conservation Areas (MPCA). The network of 54 MPCAs, measuring200 ha to 500 ha each, has been established gradually since 1993 and represents allforest types with large bio-climatic and soil regime variation. These gene banks harbour45% of recorded populations of flowering and medicinal plants of Peninsular India,including 70% of those listed in red-data book. The intra-specific diversity that is observedin the MPCA network can be used to provide authenticated quality planting material forcommercial cultivation to meet rising demands of the herbal industry. The MPCAs alsoconstitute ‘study sites’ for threatened species recovery research, and have proved crucialin capacity building of forestry staff, local communities and researchers in theconservation of medicinal plants for sustainable use and equitable benefit sharing.

Further, efforts have been made for documentation and protection of indigenoustechnical knowledge and the germplasm of the local landraces/farmers’ varieties,particularly in the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan, by the Society for Research Initiativesfor Sustainable Technologies and Institutions, Ahmedabad and National InnovationFoundation, Ahmedabad. Programmes for biodiversity conservation associated withlivelihood approach have also been undertaken by Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecologyand the Environment, particularly in Western Ghats. In addition, some other projectsand organizations addressing issues of conservation of medicinal plants, traditionalmedicine and health care, commercialization and their contribution to sustainablelivelihoods are-

E. FUTURE NEEDS AND PRIORITIES

For promotion of in situ conservation of crop wild relatives and wild food plants,there is a need to validate information about the usage of wild species for food or otherpurposes. This can be achieved through participation of communities and promotion ofvillage level gardens of local diversity.

REPORT ON NISM-GPA

40

Considering the size of the country, the number of crops cultivated and the amountof genetic diversity available in different crops, the on-farm conservation efforts havebeen very limited. Therefore, for promotion of on-farm management and improvementof PGRFA, there is a need for policy support at national level.

As this strategy of conservation is resource demanding and would involve a numberof stakeholders, it would need development of appropriate methodologies and modalitiesfor sustainable adoption. It can be achieved through a networking of existing infrastructureby involving farmers, local bodies, government and non-government agencies includingthose involved in value addition and market research. This strategy can only work ifcorresponding benefits are ensured to the farmers/communities of the country.

To take advantage of the changing agriculture scenario, in case of PGRFA, theemphasis should be on in situ on-farm conservation to evolve the genetic diversityresponding to changing environment. In this regard, the scope of home gardens needs tobe extended to medicinal food and nutritional supplements at village level to ensurenutritional security, health and improved income to the farmers.

Perceiving the great threat to PGR, the last three decades have witnessed deploymentof large resources for ex situ conservation, particularly in genebanks. The Indian NationalGenebank presently holds more than 3,00,000 accessions of germplasm belonging to about600 species. In addition, there are more than 50 National Active Germplasm Sites (NAGS)as integral part of national plant diversity conservation network. The NAGS conservegermplasm as active/ working collections in modules maintained at 4-80C and 35-40 percent relative humidity. These collections are used in on-going research and crop improvementefforts. Though, it is encouraging that a large number of PGR have been assembledrepresenting a broad range of diversity, particularly in major food crops, only limited numberof these have been used in the breeding programmes.

� Priority setting for ex situ collections are well mandated in India because ofconsiderable strength in this area. Facilitation for specific set of collections ofregional/global importance are, however, needed.

� There is a built-in mechanism to maintain duplicate accessions for safety. Theaccessions being conserved in the National Genebank are also being maintainedby National Active Germplasm Sites and the crop based institutes which areusing the germplasm in research and for crop improvement. The NationalGenebank helps in restoration of lost accessions to the active sites.

� Most of the stakeholders (65%) have reported medium to high capability forresearch on improved methodologies for ex situ conservation. The remaininghave reported low capacity.

� A total of 645 species reported under ex situ collections is given in Annexure X.

� The progress for the capacity building in gene bank management and informationsystems carried out is satisfactory, though there is a need for more medium-termfacilities.

D. FUTURE NEEDS AND PRIORITIES

� Though large germplasm has been amassed under ex situ conservation, a fewaccessions lack passport, characterization and/or evaluation data. In addition,there is an emphasis to collect and assemble trait-specific accessions fromdifferent agro-ecological zones/sources to facilitate their use in cropimprovement.

REPORT ON NISM-GPA

47

� There is a national mechanism for registration of the potentially valuablegermplasm with unique traits to facilitate their documentation and use in basicresearch and crop improvement. This area needs further strengthening withincreased evaluation of genetic resources against important biotic and abioticstresses and for desirable traits.

� The stakeholders having medium-term storage facility have reported the existingstorage space as one of the constraints while the stakeholders without suchfacility have expressed a need for creation of such facility for efficientconservation of germplasm.

� There is an urgent need to identify duplicate accessions that exist within andamong genebanks to reduce costs of conservation and to identify promisingcollections for effective utilization.

� Recognizing the mandate for conservation of a wide spectrum of crops withdifferent breeding systems, for sustainability of the present ex situ conservation,it is required to develop appropriate regeneration protocols with suitable plantpopulations. In addition, need based funding for specific programmes may berequired for regenerating threatened ex situ accessions.

Fig 7. Regeneration Capacity of Stakeholders According to Various Criteria

REPORT ON NISM-GPA

� The wild relatives are poorly represented in most of the ex situ collections andpriority in the major food crops should be to collect mainly for gaps in collectionsduring trait-specific and area-specific explorations; to collect the wild and weedyrelatives and under-utilized crops and a number of native species that occur inthe wild which are utilized for medicinal purposes in the traditional health caresystems.

� A national effort by multi-disciplinary teams of scientists for the characterization(including molecular characterization), evaluation and pre-breedingprogrammes, using biotechnological tools, wherever required, would providethe necessary thrust for utilization of conserved PGR. The PGR conservation isa long-term, resource intensive commitment, though imperative for sustainabledevelopment and posterity.

The genetic enhancement has been mainly performed through introgression of genesfor specific-traits. Nevertheless, a limited number of parents have been used indicatingthe narrow genetic base of most of the varieties developed thereby increasing the geneticvulnerability to biotic and abiotic stresses. Therefore, there is a need to use diversegenetic resources for broadening the genetic base of varieties resulting in moresustainable productivity (Table 30).

During the last 10 years, over 10,000 accessions of underutilized crops have beencollected of which nearly 8,000 accessions have been evaluated. This resulted inselection of over 25 varieties of different underutilized crops for cultivation by the farmersunder All India Co-ordinated Research Projects/ Network on Small Millets, UnderutilizedCrops and Arid Legumes. Performance of some of these varieties was verified on farmers’fields in the tribal, backward and hilly areas under NATP mission on Household FoodSecurity and Nutritional Programme wherein over 8000 farmers were involved. Forpromotion of these varieties, 740 quintal seed of suitable location specific varieties wasdistributed among another 9,000 farmers.

E. FUTURE NEEDS AND PRIORITIES

There exists a well established mechanism for distribution of the genetic resources,however, the feedback regarding the utilization is insufficient and, therefore, requiresstrengthening.

REPORT ON NISM-GPA

58

For distribution of information regarding the potential value of the germplasmconserved, it is required that more catalogues are published. Although databases atinstitute level have been developed, there is a need for linking of these databases andcreating a national database so that the information on passport, characterization andevaluation can be accessed by all the concerned stakeholders in a user friendly manner.

As a major component of the agriculture practices in the country are of subsistencenature, the traditional seed supply system is still in operation in a large part of thecountry. For rapid seed supply, there is a need for establishment of linkages betweenthe formal seed distribution system and the traditional system. This may require furtherresearch and policy support.

The establishment of a strong national programme is imperative for implementingthe PGR management activities. India has a robust national programme, with wellcoordinated activities among the various agencies. It has also taken up the activities ofgenerating human resourse in the aspects related to PGR management. In addition,the Government of India has also enacted appropriate legislations for regulatingconservation and use of PGR in response to the international treaties and commitments.

NATIONAL PROGRAMMES

� Number of technical, legal and managerial/policy experts working in the variousNational Programmes in India are currently stable but on a decreasing trend.

� Regular workshops and meetings of concerned persons and organizations arebeing held to review national activities on conservation and use of PGRFA.

EDUCATION AND TRAINING

� University-level education is offered to interested students on PGRFA in thecountry. Existence of educational and training programmes incorporating PGRaspects is sufficient both at regional and national level. Training and educationopportunities are needed in the country for effective PGRFA conservation andutilization.

� Special training programmes are required for on-farm conservation, in situconservation of vegetable crops, species level identification programme (molecularbasis), statistical methodologies and molecular analysis for QTLs. GISapplication for diversity mapping and remote sensing to manage PGR need tobe given more emphasis.

NATIONAL LEGISLATION

Several legislations or regulations relevant to PGR have been enacted over thepast 10 years. These are related to quarantine/ phytosanitary requirements, seedproduction, plant breeder’s rights, etc. Some of these act are-

� Biological Diversity Act, 2002

REPORT ON NISM-GPA

60

� Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Act, 2001

� Patents (Amendment) Act, 2005

� The Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999

� Plant Quarantine (Regulation of Import into India) Order, 2003

� Seeds Act (Act No. 54 of 1966) (under revision)

INFORMATION SYSTEMS

Software for Genebank Information Management System (GBIMS), Plant GeneticResources Passport Information Management System (PGRPIMS), electroniccatalogues for the recording of the evaluation/characterization data, database for theinventorization of import and export of the accessions have been developed at NBPGRand the complete information is being documented using the Relational DatabaseManagement System (RDBSM) tools and is being used by the concerned PGRresearchers for the management and planning of the genetic resources related activities.

Some of the main observations related to information management of PGR arelisted below:-

� Data management and information systems have been standardized inorganizations participating in activities covered under National Programme.

� Twelve stakeholders reported participation in 16 programmes/project/activitiesin order to develop data and information management systems for PGRFA inthe country.

� Most stakeholders are equippedwith computers and internetconnectivity (Table 35).

� Only few international informationsystems are accessed for the PGRin India.

PUBLIC AWARENESS

� Based on the information supplied by the stakeholders, the level of publicawareness on the importance of PGRFA conservation in the country appears tobe satisfactory.

� Seven NGOs and individuals are involved in public awareness activities in thecountry.

REPORT ON NISM-GPA

61

� In addition, several isolated activities have been reported through publicawareness programmes in the country.

� Issues related to sustainable management of PGRFA are being integrated intothe pre-secondary and/ or secondary educational curricula in India.

DEVELOPMENT OF MONITORING AND EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS FOR LOSS

OF PGRFA

� The need for assessing genetic erosion and genetic vulnerability has beenrecognized in the country.

� The mechanisms reported to monitor genetic erosion in the country are-

� land surveys and inventories,

� environmental impact assessments,

� gene bank monitoring and

� monitoring of reports of land use changes

� Measures taken to identify and assess genetic erosion, including trends overtime are being taken up under 3 projects.

� No serious constraint in monitoring genetic erosion exists in the country.

FUTURE NEEDS AND PRIORITIES

All the awareness activities reported appear to be isolated and require appropriatecoordination for its effective implementation at the national level.

Although constraints to monitoring genetic erosion have not been reported, thereare very few case studies to support these observations reflecting the lack of efforts inthis direction.

However, despite the actions to enhance PGR exchange, gaining access to PGR isgetting difficult. Some difficulties are also being encountered in maintaining relationsfor exchange with other countries. The emphasis is on trait-specific and area-specificcollections. Support may be required in certain crops of regional/global importance.

FAIR AND EQUITABLE SHARING OF THE BENEFITS

Mechanism for benefit sharing have been put in place in the form of differentlegislations listed above. However, actual cases of benefit sharing have not beenencountered yet. Some isolated case studies undertaken have demonstrated benefitsharing arrangements for the holders of the traditional knowledge.

IMPLEMENTATION OF FARMERS’ RIGHTS

� International agreements that are relevant to the implementation of Farmers’Rights, viz. Convention of Biological Diversity, Global Plan of Action, InternationalTreaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture have beensubscribed.

� The Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Act, 2001 has been enactedas a national legislation to achieve or enhance the implementation of Farmers’Rights. The implementation of this legislation involves the setting up of a Protectionof Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Authority which would take care of theprovisions under the Act.

The Salient Features of the Legislation are:

� The legislation extends to all categories of plants except micro-organisms.

� In order to be eligible for protection, a variety must be new, distinct, uniform andstable.

� The legislation contains provisions for compulsory licensing in public interest.The authority can give a compulsory licence to a third party to produce seed ifthe licence /breeder fails to produce the required quality / quantity of seed.

� Farmers would continue to enjoy their traditional rights to save, use, exchange,share and sell their produce of the protected variety with the only restriction thatthe farmers would not be able to sell branded seed of the protected variety forcommercial purposes.

� Farmers can claim compensation if the variety fails to perform as claimed bythe breeder.

� The Rules under the “Protection of Plant Varieties & Farmers’ Rights Act, 2001"have been notified in the Gazette, in 2003.

CONTRIBUTION OF PGRFA MANAGEMENT TO

FOOD SECURITY AND SUSTAINABLE

DEVELOPMENT

Crop improvement programmes in India have made tremendous contributions overthe second half of the twentieth century providing enormous economic, social andenvironmental benefits. This has not only helped in attaining food security through path-breaking new technologies but also ensured enough food. The research conducted bothindependently by the National Agricultural Research System (NARS) and in partnershipwith International Agricultural Research Centres (IARCs) was appropriately supported byeffective management of PGR, faster adoption of new crops, modern varieties and hybrids,right policies and the innovative mechanisms for technology transfer.

The major components of management of PGR include activities related to theacquisition of germplasm, their conservation and characterization and evaluation leadingto sustainable utilization. The acquisition of germplasm has been through collection ofindigenous diversity and through exchange of germplasm from other countries. In India,there is a single window system operated by NBPGR for germplasm exchange, (includesimport and export) and quarantine of small samples, including those of transgenics,meant for research. Earlier though the germplasm was freely accessed and exchanged,the recent global developments have necessitated regulations for access to germplasmsubject to various national legislations and policy changes. The conservation of PGR isachieved through the in situ and ex situ strategies. In situ conservation ensures that thegenetic diversity available in the genetic resources rich areas is conserved, while allowingthe evolutionary process to continue.

The responsibility of maintaining the ex situ collection of PGR on long-term basis isentrusted to the National Genebank of NBPGR. The National Genebank operates inthe network mode and has an effective linkage with others engaged in PGR management,thus making conserved PGR easily accessible to plant breeders. The germplasmcollections are conserved as base collection in the seed genebank, in vitro genebankor cryogenebank, at NBPGR, New Delhi or are maintained as field genebanks at theappropriate sites. The active collections are conserved in a network of NBPGR RegionalStations and the various National Active Germplasm Sites (NAGS) located at crop basedinstitutes/ state agriculture universities/crop improvement programmes. In addition, everyplant breeding programme in the country has working collections; and these are also

linked with the National Genebank. The centres are also linked with NBPGR for evaluationof germplasm.

The germplasm stored in the National Genebank network is available to variousresearchers. The request for germplasm is first forwarded to the concerned NAGS/NBPGRRegional Stations for providing the material from the active collection. When any accessionis unavailable in the active collection, the germplasm is obtained from the base collectionfor multiplication to replenish the active collection as well as for supply to the indenter.

Effective PGR management has helped in increasing the food production throughappropriate acquisition (indigenous and exotic germplasm) and their effective utilizationin the crop improvement programmes. Classical use of dwarfing genes, such as, ‘Norin-10’ in wheat and ‘Dee Geo Woo Gen’ in rice, have been instrumental in gaining productivityjumps and thereby providing food security to the increasing population. Wheat and ricebreeding materials introduced from IRRI, Philippines and CIMMYT, Mexico during the1960s laid the foundation of Green Revolution. These were high yielding, dwarf and inputresponsive germplasm used as parents in recombination breeding which were later utilizedby Indian breeders to suit different agro-climatic conditions.

Landraces have been an important source of individual characteristics introducedinto new varieties by modern plant breeders. In many cases, the genetic material providedby landraces has also been used to broaden the genetic base of crops through the recurrentselection of landrace material in the environment for which new varieties are required.Though exploitation of genes from wild relatives has been limited due to difficulty in makingviable crosses between wild and domesticated species, the resistance genes from wildspecies in cases such as Oryza nivara and Cucumis hardwikii have helped in savingrice and cucumber crops, respectively from imminent extinction. The recentdevelopments in recombinant DNA technology have raised the prospects of a betterunderstanding of gene expression and transfer of useful traits to cultivated species,which was not possible earlier by the conventional means. This knowledge would leadto novel and precise screening tools for genetic resources to identify new sources ofraw materials and facilitate the use of genetic resources in the development of moderncrop varieties and hybrids particularly targeted for different environments including bioticand abiotic stresses.

ANNEX I

TERMS OF AGREEMENT

(Guidelines on the Establishment of a National Information-Sharing Mechanismon the Implementation and Monitoring of the Global Plan of Action for theConservation and Sustainable Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources for

Food and Agriculture)

1. Background

Within the framework of the Global Plan of Action (GPA) for the Conservation andSustainable Use of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA), whichwas adopted by 150 countries at the FAO International Conference on Plant GeneticResources for Food and Agriculture (Leipzig, 1996), the Commission on GeneticResources for Food and Agriculture (CGRFA) at its Seventh Session, requested FAO todevelop a transparent and efficient monitoring process and recommended that for allpriority activity areas of the GPA a core set of indicators should be established to facilitatesuch a process.

With the aim of strengthening national PGRFA programmes, FAO is engaged in severalinitiatives to co-ordinate national and regional efforts to improve the conservation andsustainable utilization of plant genetic resources. As part of this effort FAO, in collaborationwith seven participating countries (Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Philippines, Sri Lanka,Thailand and Vietnam) had submitted the project GCP/RAS/186/JPN proposal to theGovernment of Japan for funding support to assist the participating countries:

� To draw/assess the current status of PGRFA in order to fill information gaps ineach of the participating countries and to identify their needs and priorities for theconservation and sustainable utilization of PGRFA within the framework of GPA.

� To improve national capacity in monitoring PGRFA activities within the frameworkof the GPA by empowering them with tools for leading efficient decision-makingprocesses, evaluating and developing PGRFA policies at national level.

� To share with the region successful experiences in the implementation of GPApriority activity areas related to in situ conservation and on farm managementand to improve national capacity in carrying out PGRFA in situ conservation andon farm management.
