ICRISAT Vision and Strategy to 2015
No full textThis document maps out a new vision and strategy of ICRISAT in 2006 to 2015 and beyond. This
is a revised version its original vision and strategy to 2010 which was approved by the ICRISAT
Governing Board in 2001. Structured in two major parts, ICRISAT’s new vision and strategy is
primarily guided by the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), seven planks of the CGIAR vision
and strategy, new CGIAR Systemwide priorities, its core competencies and thematic comparative
advantages, strategic analysis of opportunities in the SAT and the new setting for international
agricultural research
Sowing Seeds of Success: ICRISAT Research Impacts 1997-2003
No full textThis booklet summarizes the
accomplishments and impacts
of ICRISAT from 1997 to 2003.
Our successes in these
endeavors is proof positive that
ICRISAT has competently and
enthusiastically addressed the
major challenges facing
agriculture in the semi-arid tropics.
Much of our success has been achieved by improving our
five mandate crops – chickpea, pigeonpea, groundnut,
sorghum and pearl millet. Our remarkable successes with
crop improvement have been widely recognized. Between
1997 and 2003, ICRISAT received more than 40 team and
individual awards. Of these, none were more prestigious
than our King Baudouin Awards. This biennial prize is
awarded to the CGIAR institute achieving the most visible
impact over the preceding two-year period. ICRISAT has
won this award an unsurpassed three times. In 1996, we
won the award for our success with pearl millet. In 1998,
we won the award for the second time in a row for our
work with pigeonpea. And in 2002, along with our sister
center ICARDA, we completed the hat trick with our
research on chickpea. Three victories out of four
nominations is an achievement no other center has yet
accomplished!
But we are not about to sit on our laurels. ICRISAT intends
to move forward ever more vigorously with its partners,
sowing further seeds of success. Our ultimate goal –
winning the Grey to Green Revolution in the semi-arid
tropics – is within our grasp
ICRISAT Handbook of Style
No full textICRISAT staff produce hundreds of reports and other
documents every year. Consistent adherence to ICRISAT
policies on style and format will simplify our reporting
process and accelerate our activities. The Handbook focuses on guidelines applicable to most
types of reports. This 2003 Handbook s the first update to be published
since 1985. Eighteen years is a long time to wait for such
a useful and important document. A number of changes to
the previous guidelines have been incorporated, and we
have adopted an alphabetical Table of Contents for
convenient use. I encourage all staff and editorial
consultants to become familiar with this edition. Staff of
the Communications Unit of the Project Development and
Marketing Office are available to answer specific
questions on style and usage as well as to offer general
advice on good writing. It is hoped that the Handbook will enhance the
communication of our research results and expand the
breadth of the knowledge base, not only in the semi-arid
tropics, but throughout the world

ICRISAT Annual Report 2015: Building climate-smart farming communities
No full textClimate change is now an issue that demands urgent
attention. The UN Global Goals for Sustainable
Development and COP 21 Paris Agreement emphasize its
importance. The agricultural sector will be hardest hit by
climate change and the impact will be felt most by the
smallholder farmers we serve in Africa and Asia.
Unseasonal rains, increasing frequency of droughts and
extreme weather events, crop failures and low crop yields
often exacerbated by degraded ecosystems have resulted in
household food shortages, malnutrition, high poverty levels
and forced migration. These are issues we have had to address
in our work of building climate-smart farming communities.
The farming community in the dryland tropics is the most
impacted by climate change and ICRISAT and its partners have
responded to the clarion call of COP 21 by developing climatesmart
approaches for the dryland tropics that we proudly
highlight in our annual report for 2015..

Sorghum breeding - A projection
No full textThe Opportunity available to the sorghum program of ICRISAT has expanded substantially in the last year, Beside the station at ouagadouguou upper Volta, a sorghum breeder has been stationed at Mad Madani, Sudan, Ilonga, Tanzania, and it is anticipated that a sorghum breeder will be stationed with in the ICRISAT program at Samaru, Nigeria. A program is also developing that will focus on the higher elevation situation primarily in Ethipopia and Kenya. ICRISAT has sorghum breeder station at CIMMYT in mExico; however this paper concentrates on India and Afric
Policy of ICRISAT on intellectual property rights and code of coduct for interaction with the private sector
No full textICRISAT was established in 1972 as an autonomous, nonprofit, research organization for
science-based agricultural development. ICRISAT is one of the Future Harvest Centers funded
by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), an informal
association of over 40 governments and 15 international organizations and private foundations,
