PREFACE The Indian Agricultural Research Institute is country’s pioneer institution in the fields of agricultural research, education and extension. It has been moving with the times to enhance the nation’s capability for food grain production commensurate with the increase in the country’s population. Its historical contribution to the country’s Green Revolution is too well known to bear repetition. The Institute is in the vanguard of the country’s efforts to launch an Ever Green Revolution, which will be both productive and sustainable. New research leads were provided by the Institute in the areas of crop improvement, crop and resource management and environment, crop protection, basic and strategic research and social sciences. During the reported period, two wheat (Triticum aestivum) varieties, Pusa Suketi and HI 1553 were released for Northern Hills Zone and North-Eastern Plains Zone, respectively, while a durum variety Pusa Gaurav was recommended for release in Madhya Pradesh. A brinjal hybrid DBHL-20 was identified for release in Punjab, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. Transgenic plants with enhanced tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses are at different stages of development. Capacity building interventions in enhancing entrepreneurship among rural women led to the initiation of new enterprises. Three patents for different processes and products were granted and eight technologies were commercialized. The Institute’s 49th convocation was held on February 5, 2011 at which 99 M.Sc. and 73 Ph.D. students were awarded degrees. Many scientists, students and faculty received prestigious awards and recognitions for excellence in research and academics. This report was compiled by a committee comprising Dr. Malavika Dadlani, Joint Director (Research) as the chairperson and Dr. A. R. Sharma, Professor (Agronomy); Dr. Prem Lata Singh, Professor (Agricultural Extension); Dr. Rashmi Aggarwal, National Fellow (Plant Pathology); Dr. C. Vishwanathan, Principal Scientist (Plant Physiology); Dr. Alka Singh, Principal Scientist (Agricultural Economics); Dr. A.K. Singh, Senior Scientist (Genetics); Dr. T.K. Behera, Senior Scientist (Vegetable Science); Dr. K.M. Manjaiah, Officer-in-charge, AIM Cell, PG School; and Mr. Chacko Thomas, former Editor (English)/Dr. Kehar Singh, Technical Officer, Publication Unit as members. The final editing of the manuscript was done by Mr. Chacko Thomas, former Editor (English), IARI. I am thankful to all who have been associated with the timely publication of this report.

IARI : AN INTRODUCTION
Originally established in 1905 at Pusa (Bihar) with the financial assistance of an American Philanthropist, Mr. Henry Phipps, the Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI) started functioning from New Delhi since 1936 when it was shifted to its present site after a major earthquake damaged the Institute’s building at Pusa (Bihar). The Institute’s popular name ‘Pusa Institute’ traces its origin to the establishment of the Institute at Pusa. The Indian Agricultural Research Institute is the country’s premier national Institute for agricultural research, education and extension. It has the status of a ‘Deemed-tobe-University’ under the UGC Act of 1956, and awards M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in various agricultural disciplines.
●
To serve as a centre for academic excellence in the area of post-graduate and human resources development in agricultural sciences
●
To develop information systems, add value to information, share the information nationally and internationally, and serve as a national agricultural library and database
The Institute has 20 divisions, 5 multi-disciplinary centres situated in Delhi, 8 regional stations, 2 off-season nurseries, one krishi vigyan kendra at Shikohpur, 3 all India coordinated research projects with headquarters at IARI, and 10 national centres functioning under the all India coordinated research projects. It has a sanctioned staff strength of 3105 comprising scientific, technical, administrative and supporting personnel. The revised budget estimates of the Institute constituted a total amount of ` 20,901.08 lakh (Plan & Non-plan) for the year 2010-11.
The mandates of the Institute are as follows: To conduct basic and strategic research with a view to understanding the processes, in all their complexity, and to undertake need based research, that lead to crop improvement and sustained agricultural productivity in harmony with the environment
To provide national leadership in agricultural research, extension, and technology assessment and transfer by developing new concepts and approaches and serving as a national referral point for quality and standards
The present campus of the Institute is a self-contained sylvan complex spread over an area of about 500 hectares. It is located about 8 km west of New Delhi Railway Station, about 7 km west of Krishi Bhavan, which houses the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), and about 16 km east of Indira Gandhi International Airport at Palam. The location stands at 28.08o N and 77.12o E, the height above mean sea level being 228.61m. The climate is sub-temperate and semi-arid. The mean maximum daily temperature during the hot weather (May-October) ranges from 32.2 oC to 40oC and the mean minimum temperature from 12.2oC to 27.5oC. June to September are rainy months during which about 500 mm of rainfall is received. Winter sets in from mid-November and is delightful. The mean maximum temperature during winter (November-March) ranges from 20.1oC to 29.1oC and the mean minimum temperature from 5.6oC to 12.7oC. During winter, a small amount of rainfall (about 63 mm) is received.
The growth of India’s agriculture during the past more than 100 years, is closely linked with the researches done and technologies generated by the Institute. The Green Revolution stemmed from the fields of IARI. Development of high yielding varieties of all major crops which occupy vast areas throughout the country, generation and standardization of their production techniques, integrated pest management and integrated soil-water-nutrient management have been the hallmarks of the Institute’s research. The Institute has researched and developed a large number of agrochemicals which have been patented and licensed and are being widely used in the country. Over the years, IARI has excelled as a centre of higher education and training in agricultural sciences at national and international levels. ●
