OBJECTIVES OF NAIP
In order to address the problems plaguing Indian Agriculture, it is critical to
redirect and augment resources devoted to agricultural research to the
farming and livelihood systems of the poor rural communities. To utilize the
technological breakthroughs that are already available for commercial use,
the agricultural research priorities and strategies will have to be revisited and
new system-wide approaches need to be developed and adopted.

The NAIP envisages to put up a coordinated effort on the following:

Policy and technology options will be screened or tested by the end-

user for applicability as well as for economic, social and environmental
sustainability.

In the applied and adaptive research projects, the end-user of

innovations will be involved from the start of programme and projects
and will remain partner till their completion.

Both indigenous knowledge and frontier technologies will be used to

generate the targeted products.

OVERALL OBJECTIVE OF THE NAIP

To facilitate an accelerated and sustainable transformation of the Indian
