Total allocation: Rs. 228 crores

Strengthening communication ability & information capacity

Enhanced dialogue and interaction with public at large, farming community, private sector and within ICAR system between all key functionaries

Business development units and IPR management

System-wide institutionalization of organization and management reforms like M&E and Financial management

Visioning, technology foresight and policy analysis

Emphasis on SAUs


ICAR as the Catalyzing Agent for Management of Change in the Indian Agricultural Research System

Production to Consumption Systems

Total allocation: Rs. 357 crores

About 15 Consortia with public organizations, private sector, farmer organizations, NGOs and others from across the production to consumption system

Jointly responsible for governance, design and implementation of research programs and the application of the resulting innovations

Knowledge management activities, such as the organization of conferences and innovation market places, networks and communication strategies.

Selection through a competitive process

Support to investment, operational and some personnel costs of the consortia
