The Importance of Languages in Technology Transfer

In the journey from laboratory to land, innovation alone is not enough—its impact depends on how well it is understood, adapted, and trusted. In a diverse country like India, language plays a critical yet often overlooked role in bridging this gap. This article explor…

Fields of Play, Fields of Purpose

Amid the precision and routine of scientific institutions, the ICAR South Zone Sports Tournament at Hyderabad—graciously hosted by NAARM—emerges as more than a sporting event. It becomes a vibrant celebration of unity, where laboratories, research stations, and univ…

Ring-fence R&D to Make Indian Agriculture Anti-Fragile

India feeds one-fifth of humanity, yet invests barely 0.3–0.4% of its agricultural GDP in research—the very foundation of future food security. As climate stress, soil degradation, water scarcity, and volatile markets intensify, this underinvestment is no longer a b…

Apples and Persimmons: Science, Shelf Life, and the Wisdom of Sustainable Horticulture

Indian horticulture’s future will not be secured by chasing fashionable fruits, but by strengthening crops that have already proven their ecological, economic, and social resilience. Apples are more than a harvest—they are long-term covenants between science and liv…

Smart Markets, Strong Villages

Sound market infrastructure is the quiet backbone of a healthy rural economy. In India, the most enduring rural commercial successes—from dairy cooperatives to women-led enterprises—have shown that when markets are designed to serve producers, value is created at sc…

Smart Farming for New India

Precision agriculture in India is no longer a distant promise reserved for large farms—it is rapidly becoming a village-scale reality. Falling sensor and drone costs, expanding micro-irrigation, and the rise of digital agriculture infrastructure are enabling farmers t…

Next Frontier for Nutrient Use Efficiency

A quiet revolution is unfolding across India’s fields. As farmers confront declining soil health, rising costs, and climate uncertainty, liquid manures and precision fertilisers are emerging as powerful tools of renewal. Blending ancient microbial wisdom with modern n…

Enhancing the Availability of Quality Seed and Planting Material

Quality seed and planting material lie at the heart of India’s agricultural transformation. From the Green Revolution to today’s push for climate resilience and higher farmer incomes, the power of a genetically pure, healthy, and high-yielding seed has remained cons…

Building Carbon Back into Soil

Indian agriculture’s “half-percent problem”—soils with less than 0.5% organic carbon—sits at the root of weak water retention, poor nutrient efficiency, and fragile yields under climate stress. Rebuilding soil carbon is not about a single input but a systems s…

Breeding Stability in an Unstable Climate

Climate resilience in crops does not promise record harvests every season; instead, it ensures endurance when conditions turn hostile. A resilient variety may withstand heat during flowering, survive temporary floods, draw water from deeper soils in drought, or resist n…
