Description The main objective of the workshop titled Corporate Science and Technology
Institutions- Partnerships for Inclusive and Sustainable Development and Economic
Growth held at ICRISAT was to relate high-end science and technology with the
corporate sector for the benefit of farmers in rainfed areas. More specifically,
the potential of watershed-based activities in maximizing land and water use for
sustainable development through commercially viable non-conventional and improved

technologies for better livelihoods was sought. The private sector can substantially
contribute to a sustainable development in the rural areas by developing a businesslike model for agriculture making it profitable by providing a touch of professionalism
in management systems. ICRISAT has the vision and goal to improve the well-being
of the rural poor in the SAT through sustainable use of natural resources by adopting
science-led development pathway. The CII partnership along with other NGOs in
research and development will help to realize this vision through scaling-out the
benefits by building public-private partnerships in the area of rainfed agriculture.
