Abstract

The ICAR mandated activities on agricultural research, extension, education, and capacity building have consistently contributed to food, nutrition and livelihood security of the country. The innovations, growth and sustainability in Indian agriculture sector are the outcomes of these activities. The synergistic congregation, positive policy decisions, administrative actions, persistent financial support and determined efforts at field and laboratory level during last nine years have exponentially accelerated the agricultural outputs and outcomes in India. The major achievements of ICAR during 2014-2023 are precisely presented in this document “Significant Achievements (2014-23): Aspiring for a Developed India in the Amrit Kaal”. The achievements are grouped into 16 themes. To document the net progress, the achievements during two periods (2014-23 and 2005-2014) were compared. In crop husbandry, the progress highlighted an increase in number of varieties released in field crops (2279) and horticultural crops (485). These varieties were tailored to improve crop quality and yield through bio-fortification and addressing emerging biotic and abiotic stresses. The crop varieties were equally supplemented for efficient farm outputs with location and crop specific production practices, 28 eco-friendly pest management modules, contingency practices, soil-crop-water management strategies, bio-fertilizers, bio-formulations, farm machineries, integrated organic farming practices and integrated farming system modules. ICAR also supported the establishment of model agro-processing centres for enhancing value addition and storage and reducing post-harvest losses.
