Description The year 2011 started on a highly positive note with the conduct of
our global research meeting of scientists and senior staff members
at the headquarters, capitalizing on our new Strategic Plan to 2020
and aiming to renew and reinvigorate ICRISAT in a major way. During the
meeting, we all committed to stronger teamwork primarily towards the
development of our three-year Medium-Term Plan.
Change offers new and exciting opportunities for us all. We are making
signifi cant progress in internalizing our new Inclusive Market-Oriented
Development (IMOD) framework, a powerful unifying concept of our
strategic plan, as we continue to strive towards our vision of a prosperous,
food-secure and resilient dryland tropics.
We celebrate our 40th anniversary in 2012, and as we look at our
achievements so far, it is clear that the year 2011 has witnessed highly
signifi cant successes.
ICRISAT has been entrusted leadership of two CGIAR Research Programs
(CRPs) – Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals – and is actively involved in
major research-for-development programs across the semi-arid tropics. The
ICRISAT-led HOPE project in India and in sub-Saharan countries of Africa
has made great strides in helping smallholder farmers increase the yields
of two dryland cereal crops – sorghum and millets. Our research under
the Tropical Legumes I and II programs have complementary benefi ts as
the learnings and successes of TLI (legume genomics) are passed on to
TLII (legume improvement) to be promoted among and extended to the
ultimate benefi ciaries, the farmers of the semi-arid tropics. Our landmark
science achievement for 2011 is of course the cracking of the pigeonpea
genome sequence by an ICRISAT-led global research partnership.
The Bhoochetana (revival of the land) project in India, implemented
in the state of Karnataka, has gained so much recognition that the state
government of Andhra Pradesh has once again sought our partnership in
applying the same brush of success in this state, and there are indications
that other states will follow. We likewise proudly report our increasingly
successful women empowerment initiatives in several countries in sub-
Saharan Africa...
