Description This 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.
