Abstract/Description: | ICAR Research Complex for NEH Region, a premier institute of Indian Council of Agricultural Research. The institute along with its six regional centers and 20 KVKs has been promoting and conducting research, extension and human resource development activities in agriculture and allied sectors for hilly and mountain ecosystem of North Eastern Hill Region. The institute has been striving hard through activities in its various divisionsto maximize the needed output aimed at fulfilling its goals.A promising new Pig crossbreed “Lumsniang” developed by the institute would go along way for the hilly ecosystem. The breed is highly promising due to its growth rate,good mothering ability, higher litter size and better adaptability. Institute has also characterized over 40 rice genotypes for drought tolerance traits. Hyperspectral remote sensing was successfully carried out for abiotic stress detection in maize crop grown in strong acid soils of Meghalaya. Drone (UAV: Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) based technology was successfully also used for detection and periodic assessment of standing maize cropconditions in Meghalaya. In post-harvest, protocols for preparations of peach leather, bottled green peppercorns and dehydrated karkrol rings have been developed and storage conditions optimized. Short duration shiitake mushroom production technology was standardized using saw dust and broad leaf based substrate, which has significantly reduced the shitake mushroom production time. In-house indirect ELISA kit was developed for detection of CSFV antibody in serum samples. Roadmap and strategy documents for doubling farmer’s income for four states such as Mizoram, Tripura, Manipur and Nagaland have been prepared and shared with the concerned state governments. Integrated farming system developed by the institute have been successfully implemented in farmer’s field leading to enhanced income of Rs 1.0 to3.5 lakhs/ha slopping land. One of the farmers of ICAR (Manipur Center) has been awarded with the prestigious Jagjivan Ram Abhinav Kisan Puraskar 2017.Tribal Sub Plan has been proved to be very beneficial, a total of 27998 tribal farmers from seven North Eastern states were benefitted during 2017-2018 by various livelihood programmes. The response to the institute’s Agri-Business Incubation (ABI) programme is over whelming and many entrepreneurs have become members and some have excelled in marketing and supply of processed and packed meat products and other processed food products like jam, candy, jelly and pickle.All these were possible due to the constant support and able guidance received from Dr T. Mohapatra, Secretary DARE and Director General of ICAR, Govt. of India and Dy.Director General (NRM) Dr K. Alagusundaram, in addition to the support received from all my colleagues at the HQ and regional centers.I complement the editorial board for their efforts in compilation of annual report and sincerely believe that the document will be of immense value to the agriculture fraternity of the country as a whole and the region in particular.able |
