Welcome to AICRPDA

The Green Revolution in mid sixties, though a boon to Indian agriculture, ushered in era of wide disparity between productivity of irrigated and rainfed agriculture. Alarmed by such a situation, the Fourth Plan (1969-74) specifically emphasized the urgent need for creating circumstances that would enable the hitherto neglected farmers of the dryland to participate meaningfully in the agricultural development process. The droughts of mid sixties catalyzed further the process of vigorous efforts in dryland research establishment. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) rose to the occasion and formulated a comprehensive program on dryland research. All India Coordinated Project on Dryland Agriculture (AICRPDA) is a Network based Research Project focussing on development of location specific rainfed technologies and is in operation at different agricultural universities located across the country |
