6. Description and Justification of Project

Describe the project and indicate existing facilities in the area and justify the
establishment of the project.
This Project “Strengthening and Rehabilitation of Agricultural Research Institutes/stations of
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa” is designed with the aim to strengthen the Research System to augment
the research activities. The Research Institutes/Stations have been involved since long time in the
research activities to develop improved varieties of crops, fruits and vegetables in order to
increase productivity and the socio economic status of the farming community. Since the
establishment of these research Institute/Stations no improvement/or repair work has been
carried-out and most of the buildings including research labs are in dilapidated condition.
Likewise all Laboratories are outdated and have not been equipped with latest tools since its
establishment.

4
This project is covering the overall institutional development to cater for the new developmental
and scientific challenges through strengthening. The existing Food Technology, Soil testing,
plant physiology, cereal and plant pathology laboratory will be strengthened at ARI Tarnab.
Moreover Soil Testing laboratory at ARS Baffa Mansehra will be strengthened and tissue
culture/ Bio tech laboratory will be established for further quality research. Cereal Crops
Research Institute (CCRI) Pirsabak, Nowshera is a focal point of all research and seed
production activities for wheat and maize in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Laboratory equipments will
be purchased and Weather Station will be Up-graded at CCRI Pirsbak Nowshehra. The
laboratories and other structures at ARI D.I.Khan is in very worse condition therefore damaged
offices, Labs, and other structures at ARI D.I.Khan will be repaired and Solar Tube Well for
irrigation will be installed. Agricultural Research Station, Swat is involved in producing
improved fruit varieties and fruit plants nurseries. 13 Acres leased land at GPU Baikan ARI Swat
will be purchased to protect the valuable Germplasms of fruit varieties consistently supplying
propagating material.
Barani Agriculture Research Station (BARS) Kohat is involved in research to improve
agriculture productivity of Barani areas through evolving high yielding, drought tolerant varieties
appropriate for the agro-ecological environment of Kohat and adjacent Barani areas.
Laboratories at BARS Kohat will be strengthened with equipments to ensure the year round
research activities in all respects to cope with their requirements.
Hazara Agriculture Research Station (HARS) Abbottabad has been involved in different research
activities i.e Horticulture, Tissue Culture and soil analysis since 1978-79 respectively. The
present population pressure and growing demands of the farmers direly needs it projection to
cope with their needs. Therefore it is utmost important to revisit the station and upgrade the
existing facilities in all respect. A temperate fruit Germplasm unit on an area of 10 acres was
established at Jabba in 2007 but no civil work was carried out at the site therefore the Official
Building at GPU Gabba Mansehra has been demanded. Moreover a Solar Tube Well for
irrigation at HARS Abbottabad will be installed and the structure at HARS Abbottabad, Sub
Station Bttakundi and Sub Station Haripur will be repaired. Research Laboratory at ARS Chitral,
Karak, Swabi, Sarai Nourang and Bannu will be strengthened to improve the research work.

Existing Facilities:

At present all the mentioned Research Institutes/Stations have the major facilities like land,
scientists, building etc but to pace up the research activities on modern lines and meet the
requirements of the growing population, some facilities will be acquired that are lacking in the
Research system. Though the Research System has major infrastructure but direly requires new
interventions made in terms of civil work, which are very important for research, safety,
protection of major building, machinery and precious research materials.

SWOT Analysis of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Agricultural Research System

Strengths
Highly qualified, well trained and experienced research staff in some fields but needs capacity
building
Research Laboratories are available in all the stations but need some strengthening through latest
equipments.
The infrastructure of all the Research Institutes/Stations is available but many buildings are very
old and need repair and renovation.
Tremendous experience of working with foreign donor projects.
Made significant contributions through successful strategic interventions at selected locations
around Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Weaknesses
Poor contacts with national and international research organizations.
Most scientists are short of writing skills and technical knowledge in new Enterprises including
computer literacy and use of modern instruments.
Poor in-service training.
Channels of communication too long to be effective.
Opportunities
Great chances for improved collaboration and efficiency through merger of similar organization
i.e., research, education and extension.
Excellent opportunities for collaboration with public research and extension organizations, private
companies and NGOs.
Better services and more tangible benefits for researchers would uplift their lost moral.
Great opportunities for collaboration with all stakeholders.
Greater opportunity for well thought out research interventions as has been successful in the past.
The existing wider yield gap is also a great opportunity. We are far below the achievable potential.
Threats
Prevailing economic situation: unlikely that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government will increase
budgetary allocations.
Instability in macro-economic and political environment. As a result foreign donors are
withdrawing.
Pressure due to law and order situation may force closures of projects at some locations
Hostile socio-economic environment threatens research operations and harassment of researchers.
Unpredictable fuel supplies and public strikes can discontinue research activities at critical stages.
