INTRODUCTION
The Indian Council of Agricultural Research
(ICAR) is an autonomous organization under
the Department of Agricultural Research and
Education (DARE), Ministry of Agriculture,
Government of India, it was established on
16 July 1929. The ICAR has its headquarters
at New Delhi.
The Council is the apex body for co-
ordinating, guiding and managing research
and education in agriculture including
horticulture, fisheries and animal sciences in
the entire country. With 100 ICAR
institutes and 70 agricultural
universities spread across the country this is
one of the largest national agricultural
systems in the world
The ICAR has played a pioneering role in ushering
Green Revolution and subsequent developments in
agriculture in India through its research and
technology development that has enabled the
country to increase the production of food grains by
5 times, horticultural crops by 9.5 times, fish by 12.5
times , milk 7.8 times and eggs 39 times since 1951 to
2014, thus making a visible impact on the national
food and nutritional security. It has played a major
role in promoting excellence in higher education in
agriculture

MANDATE
To plan, undertake, aid, promote and co-
ordinate education, research and its
application in agriculture, agroforestry,
animal husbandry, fisheries, home science
and allied sciences
To provide, undertake and promote
consultancy services in the fields of
education, research, training and
dissemination of information in agriculture,
agroforestry, animal husbandry, fisheries,
home science and allied sciences
To look into the problems relating to
broader areas of rural development
concerning agriculture, including
postharvest technology by developing co-
operative programmes with other
organizations such as the Indian Council of
Social Science Research, Council of Scientific
and Industrial Research, Bhabha Atomic
Research Centre and the universities

MILESTONES
• ICAR scientists were the first in the world to sequence the pigeon pea genome. it
was a purely indigenous effort by 31 scientists led by Nagendra Kumar Singh of
NRCPB.
• 2009: In December 2009, it announced that it was considering a policy to provide
open access to its research.
• As of July, 2006 it has developed a vaccine against bird flu.The vaccine was
developed at the High Security Animal Disease Laboratory, Bhopal, the only facility
in the country to conduct tests for the H5N1 variant of bird flu.It was entrusted
with the task of developing a vaccine by the ICAR after the Avian Influenza
outbreak in February. The ICAR provided Rs. 8 crore for the purpose.

DIVISIONS
Crop Science
• Harnessing conventional and modern scientific knowledge, tools, and cutting-edge of science
for development of improved crop varieties/hybrids suited to diverse agro-ecologies and
situations, and efficient, economic, eco-friendly and sustainable crop production and
protection technologies; promoting excellence in basic, strategic and anticipatory crop
science research.Refinement of seed-production technologies and production of breeder
seed with added emphasis on hybrid cultivars
Horticultural Science
• Horticulture Division vested with the responsibility of overseeing the overall accelerated
development of horticulture in national perspective for improving nutritional, ecological and
livelihood security.
Natural Resource Management
• Sustainable management of natural resources for achieving food, nutritional, environmental
and livelihood security in the country.
Developing location specific, cost effective, eco-friendly conservation and management
technologies for higher input use efficiency, agricultural productivity & profitability without
deteriorating natural resource base.

Agricultural Engineering
• To make Indian agriculture sustainable, profitable and competitive enterprise through engineering
interventions of farm mechanization, value addition and energy management in production and
post harvest operations.
• To develop and introduce need-based and region-specific engineering technologies to
achieve sustainable enhanced productivity and profitability of different farming systems.
Animal Science
• Development of technologies to support production enhancement, profitability, competitiveness
and sustainability of livestock and poultry sector for providing food and nutritional security to
Indian masses.
• Facilitate need based research in ongoing and emerging areas of livestock and poultry sector to
denote productivity increase, reduce gap between potential and actual yield, and to prepare the
country for the challenges of globalization.
Fisheries Science
• Fish for all’
Sustainable growth of Indian fisheries and aquaculture by interfacing research, education and
extension resulting in a proper fit between the human needs and the habitat, with an important
role in global fisheries.
Agricultural Education

Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR)

  • 1. 1
  • 2. INTRODUCTION The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) is an autonomous organization under the Department of Agricultural Research and Education (DARE), Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, it was established on 16 July 1929. The ICAR has its headquarters at New Delhi. The Council is the apex body for co- ordinating, guiding and managing research and education in agriculture including horticulture, fisheries and animal sciences in the entire country. With 100 ICAR institutes and 70 agricultural universities spread across the country this is one of the largest national agricultural systems in the world The ICAR has played a pioneering role in ushering Green Revolution and subsequent developments in agriculture in India through its research and technology development that has enabled the country to increase the production of food grains by 5 times, horticultural crops by 9.5 times, fish by 12.5 times , milk 7.8 times and eggs 39 times since 1951 to 2014, thus making a visible impact on the national food and nutritional security. It has played a major role in promoting excellence in higher education in agriculture 2

MILESTONES • ICAR scientists were the first in the world to sequence the pigeon pea genome. it was a purely indigenous effort by 31 scientists led by Nagendra Kumar Singh of NRCPB. • 2009: In December 2009, it announced that it was considering a policy to provide open access to its research. • As of July, 2006 it has developed a vaccine against bird flu.The vaccine was developed at the High Security Animal Disease Laboratory, Bhopal, the only facility in the country to conduct tests for the H5N1 variant of bird flu.It was entrusted with the task of developing a vaccine by the ICAR after the Avian Influenza outbreak in February. The ICAR provided Rs. 8 crore for the purpose. 4
