This project identified the potential of improving the data coverage on ‘on-farm’ post-harvest management of food grains through Input Survey carried out in Agriculture Census. Therefore, a pilot study on private food grains stock estimation at farm level aligned with Input Survey of Agriculture Census in India funded by FAO-India was conducted by ICAR-Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute (ICAR‑IASRI). Under this study, a suitable sampling methodology aligned with existing Input Survey for estimation of private food grain stock at farm level has been developed. A suitable questionnaire aligned with existing Input Survey of Agriculture Census has been developed covering different food grains stock at farm level.
Under this study, a pilot survey was conducted in two states namely Haryana and Madhya Pradesh. The four crops under AMIS study i.e. wheat, paddy, maize and soybean along with pulses were covered under this pilot survey. The data was collected for all the three seasons. The estimates of food grains stock, pre-harvest opening stock, production obtained, quantity sold, quantity stored, quantity disposed and percentage stock at farm level were obtained along with its percentage Coefficient of Variation (% CV) and were found to be reasonably good for overall size classes. Therefore, it is expected that for overall holding size classes, the proposed methodology will provide farm level reliable estimates of food grains stock at district level. The study has established the feasibility of inclusion of developed questionnaire in the future Input Survey of Agriculture Census in India in order to estimate the food grains stock at farm level which will bridge the gap on private food grains stock in on-farm and off-farm domains of the supply chain.Not Availabl

ICAR-Emeritus Scientist (ES) : The ICAR Emeritus Scientist Programme started during 4th five-year plan (1973-74) with an objective of tapping the brain and skill bank of superannuated professionals of NARES by allowing them to complete the work in hand for its conclusion, utilize their talent in teaching specialized courses and use their experience in addressing nationally important policy issues.
ICAR-Emeritus Professor (EP): The ICAR Emeritus Professor Programme is a structural method of tapping Brain and skill bank of the outstanding superannuated professionals of National Agricultural Research and Education system (NARES) by utilizing their talent in teaching courses and uses their experience in addressing nationally important policy issues.
ICAR- National Fellow (NF) & National Prof. (NP): The National Fellow (NF) Programme was initiated in 1978-79 with the objective to promote excellence at national level in agricultural research & education and recognize the meritorious contribution of individual agricultural scientists/teachers and facilitate their research and related activities in agriculture.Not Availabl

A total of 720 newly hatched CARIBRO VISHAL broiler chicks were weighed and randomly divided into eight groups with nine replicates. The dietary treatments were as follows: Group I: diet without antibiotic supplement (control), group II: diet supplemented with antibiotic (positive control), groups III, IV and V: diet supplemented with combination of nucleosides at 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 g/kg feed, respectively, for 14 days, groups VI, VII and VIII: diet supplemented with nucleosides at 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 g/kg feed, respectively, for 21 days. The combination of nucleosides (equal proportion (1:1:1:1) adenosine, guanosine, cytosine, and uridine with 99% purity) were used in the study. Body weight was significantly higher in the birds fed diets containing antibiotics and 1.5 g/kg nucleosides fed groups. The supplementation had positive effect on the activity of amylase and lipase enzymes and the absorptive surface (villi length). It could be concluded that, the dietary supplementation of nucleosides improved the performance of broilers with better cellular and humoral immunity than control. The study further confirmed that nucleosides supplementation improved gut development and could be an alternative to antibiotic growth promoters in broiler production.Indian Council of Agricultural Researc

elevated hills of Uttarakhand, Sikkim and Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. This was released by
the Central Sub-Committee on Crop Standards Notification and Release of Variety for Agricultural
Crops and notified by the Central Seed Committee vide notification number S.O.8(E) dated the 24th
December, 2021. This variety was developed by crossing between VL 10689 and UPRI2005-15 at ICARVivekananda
Parvatiya Krishi Anusandhan Sansthan (VPKAS) Almora, Uttarakhand. It has unique
decorticated grain colour (reddish brown) which may fetch higher price in the market compare to normal
rice. This variety has semi-erect, semi-dwarf and non-lodging plant type, green basal leaf sheath colour,
erect to semi erect flag leaf, semi-erect, semi-straight and well exerted panicle, awnless grains and straw
apiculus colour. VL Dhan 69 was found promising, stable and shown significant yield superiority over
the checks. It recorded grain yield 4,255 kg/ha in medium hill on an average of three years of testing as
compare to national check, Vivek Dhan 62 (3,010 kg/ha); regional check, VL Dhan 65 (3,599 kg/ha) &
Local check (2,769 kg/ha) with yield advantage of 41.37, 18.22 and 53.65 per cent, respectively. It has
very good quality characteristics viz., hulling 79.9%, milling 69.1%, head rice recovery 55.4%,
intermediate ASV (5.0) and amylose content 26.78%, gel consistency (23mm), grain chalkiness is very
occasionally present. It has short bold grain with kernel length (5.35mm), kernel breadth (2.62mm) and
L/B ratio (2.04). This variety showed moderate resistance against leaf blast, neck blast, brown spot and
sheath rot. Wide spread and cultivation of this variety would help in yield stabilization of hill farmers and
fulfill the urgent requirement of varietal diversification in Northern Hill Zone (NHZ).Not Availabl

The presence of such structurally diverse and high value bioactive compounds has led to popularization of seaweed as functional food ingredient in global health supplement market. India, with a long coastline of 8100 km and exclusive economic zone of 2.17 million km2, is rich in diverse seaweed resources belonging to almost 700 species. However, food and nutraceutical application of Indian seaweed is highly constrained. Apart from Kappaphycus alvarezii, there is no systematic commercial cultivation of seaweed in India. The regulatory framework for use of seaweed as food is still developing and consumer acceptance is still low. However, there is a timely and renewed interest from different government agencies and research organisations to develop a thriving food and nutraceutical industry using India’s vast seaweed resources. The review briefly describes the nutritional and functional food potential of the seaweed and goes on to discuss the scope of seaweed utilization in food and nutraceutical industry in India. Further, the review has identified the regulatory challenges and quality control requirements for use of seaweeds in food and nutraceuticals.Not Availabl
