Description The project ‘Introduction and Expansion of Improved Pigeonpea (Arhar) Production Technology in Rainfed Upland Ecosystems of Odisha’ is funded by the

budget of Rs 10.253 crores (US $ 2.29 million) to
cover five districts (Bolinger, Boudh, Kalahandi, Nauparha and Rayagada). The project was officially launched on 9 August 2011 at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) headquarters in Patancheru, Andhra Pradesh, India.

pigeonpea cultivars and management practices. Thus, this project is being implemented through a farmer participatory approach towards developing sustainable livelihoods in the State through improved pigeonpea production....
