Over the years Indian agriculture had made tremendous progress, which in a large measure is due to its human resources and public investments in agricultural research, education and development. Such investments in agriculture are of long gestation, and needs considerable advance planning. In the context of national demands and changing global agricultural scenario, detailed data on agricultural human and financial inputs, and research outputs and outcomes are central to systematic assessments and, hence, are of strategic importance. Evidences on
the impact of agricultural R&D have always been sought for by the policy makers and senior managers to know the
utility of the allocations. The present project is the latest in this direction, and has been executed by the National Academy of Agricultural Research Management (NAARM) in partnership with International Food Policy Research
Institute (IFPRI) to generate such evidences on agricultural R&D in India. India has substantially increased its public funding of agricultural research since the late 1990s and this trend is likely to continue in coming years. Nonetheless, the public agricultural R&D spending as a share of agricultural output continues to be relatively low. In its upcoming years, the Indian Government seeks to address this deficiency by committing a significant percentage of AgGDP to agricultural R&D. ICAR and the AU system are making concerted efforts to improve coordination of research programmes across various institutions. Evidence clearly indicates that an enabling policy environment and attractive market opportunities play important role in the diversification of R&D through participation of the private sector. This is essential for enhancing research intensity and making the system more demand driven. The datasets generated in this study would augur well for such insights into the planning process. It gives me immense pleasure to present the project report jointly prepared by NAARM and IFPRI. The report is timely and useful in preparing the future course of action on impact driven development in agriculture and allied sectors.
