Agricultural Research and Extension in India: Institutional Structure and Investments

Suresh Pal and Alka Singh

No 344965, Policy Papers from ICAR National Institute of Agricultural Economics and Policy Research (NIAP)

Abstract: Analytical work on agricultural research investments has been constrained by lack of reliable data. This report seeks to fill this void by providing detailed time-series data on research and extension investments. This takes our work in NCAP Policy Paper 3 'Research Priorities in Indian Agriculture' further. Analyses of growth in and determinants of research and extension investments would be useful for policy makers and researchers. The authors have also attempted to review and highlight ongoing reforms in the national agricultural research and extension systems, which are intended to improve the efficiency of these investments.
