A. Introduction AgricultureisasignificantsourceoflivelihoodfortheIndianpopulation–it

contributes~15%oftheGDPandabout50%oftheworkforce. ThiscontributionofIndianagriculturehasbeenmadepossiblebyanexceptionally

strongNationalInnovationSystemthatincludestheIndianCouncilofAgriculturalResearch(ICAR),NationalandStatescienceagenciesanduniversities,alargeNGOsectorandagrowingprivatesector.

AgriculturalresearchinIndiahasalsocontributedtoandbenefitedfromexcellentinternationalcollaborations.

See Appendix A

Budget (Resources)

2016 CGIAR ICRISAT underwrote the 2016 Country Consultation meeting. Each Center funded their invitees to the meeting. All Centers / CRPs maintain a Country Office in New Delhi and so SC meetings are low cost, except for ICRISAT who have to fly in from Hyderabad.

To be determined

2016 National partners

ICAR provides funding support and in‐kind collaboration for most Centers operating in India. These funds can support CGIAR integration.

CRPs funded in India may provide resourcing for integration processes in India.
