It has been the premier Institute in the country for propelling agricultural growth through development of new varieties, technologies and their dissemination to the farming community. Hence, the Committee was happy to review its progress of research, teaching and extension education during 2009-16. The Committee reviewed the progress of the Institute and noted the developments in various spheres of agricultural research which included excellent infrastructure for research in new and emerging areas, and generation of skilled human resource through its post-graduate programme. Inspite of the outstanding achievements, the Institute suffers from several constraints which need to be addressed. The Committee has made recommendations, which if implemented, would help the Institute to maintain and carry forward its legacy in the field of agricultural research, education and extension. The Chairman and members of the QRT would like to express their gratitude to Dr. S. Ayyappan, the then Secretary, DARE and Director General, ICAR for giving the Committee an opportunity for reviewing the work and to Dr. Trilochan Mohapatra, for his inputs and guidance initially as Director, IARI, and later as Secretary DARE and DG, ICAR. The Committee would like to thank Dr. A.K. Singh, Director, IARI for providing all facilities and logistics during the review process and in preparing the final report. Special thanks are due to Dr. K.V. Prabhu, Ex-Joint Director (R) and Ex-Member Secretary, QRT who shouldered major responsibility of organizing meetings and planning the visits of the Committee to regional stations. The assistance provided by the PME Cell in preparation of the background information for the report is sincerely acknowledged.

Ray, Ex-VC, OUAT, Bhubaneswar, Dr. S.A. Patil, Ex-Director, IARI, Dr. Anupam Varma, Former Dean, IARI, INSA Honorary Scientist and IARI Adjunct Professor, Dr. P.K. Joshi, Ex-Director, NCAP and NAARM and Director, South Asia, IFPRI, South Asia Regional Office, New Delhi as members and Dr. K. V. Prabhu, Joint Director Research, IARI, as member secretary to review the progress of research achievements made by the Indian Agricultural Research Institute during 2009-2016. Foruteen meetings of the Quinquennial Review Team (QRT) were held to conduct review work. At present, the Institute functions through a network of 19 discipline-based divisions, 2 multidisciplinary centres, and 7 service units in Delhi; 8 regional stations situated at Amartara Cottage, Shimla (HP); Indore (MP); Kalimpong (WB); Karnal (Haryana); Katrain (HP); Pune (Maharashtra); Pusa (Bihar); and Wellington, the Nilgiris (TN); two off-season nurseries situated at Dharwar (Karnataka); and Aduthurai (TN); and a Krishi Vigyan Kendra at Shikohpur, Gurgaon (Haryana). These divisions, centres and regional stations are working in the school mode under six schools namely, School of Crop Improvement, School of Horticulture, School of Basic Sciences, School of Crop Protection, School of Natural Resources Management, and School of Social Sciences. In the first meeting held in 2015 the QRT finalized the programme of visits. There were seven meetings held at IARI during 2016. In the first two meetings the presentations were given by the then Director and the respective divisional heads on the salient achievement and the future programmes. In subsequent three meetings the team visited all the divisions of IARI and took direct stock of the prevailing research work, the condition of the laboratory and equipments, and the constraints faced by scientists were discussed. The activities of Post Graduate School and those of Finance & Administration of the Institute were also reviewed and discussions held with the representatives of P.G. School Students Union, Master of Halls and Associate Wardens of students’ hostels among others. The team also visited IARI Regional Stations at Indore, Karnal, Wellington, Kalimpong, Pusa Bihar and Katrain. During this period (2009-16), IARI employed cutting-edge science and technologies to develop several crop varieties with improved yield, quality and adaptability, resource management technologies, and pest and disease management methods, farm machineries, protected cultivation methods and food processing techniques for enhancing the input use efficiency, farm profit and environmental sustainability. During this period, IARI has released 27 varieties in cereals, pulses and oil seed crops. In the school of crop improvement the achievements are as follows: • In wheat, IARI has released 18 varieties during the reported period, of which 15 were released by Central Sub-Committee on the Crop Standards, Notification and Release Indian Agricultural Research Institute v of the Varieties for Agricultural Crops, Government of India and four by SVRC. These varieties represented all the six wheat growing zones [i e., NHZ (2), NWPZ (6) NEPZ (3) CZ(3), PZ (2) and SHZ(4)], all three types of cultivated wheat [bread (14), durum (3) and dicoccum (1) wheat] and all production conditions (irrigated timely and late sown, rainfed and restricted irrigation and conservation agriculture) of wheat cultivation. The bread wheat variety, HD3086 (Pusa Gautami), resistant to yellow rust and brown rust and superior bread making qualities is the first variety that has been able to significantly yield better than the long standing rust susceptible PBW 343. Subsequently it was released for timely sown irrigated conditions of NEPZ as well. The variety top the list of breeder seed demand and annual production of breeder seed touching the unprecedented mark of 4050 q. IARI has licensed this variety to more than 200 seed companies, including 57 start-ups, and made the seeds available to large number of farmers of the country. Conservation agriculture (CA) has emerged as a technology for environmental and farm output sustainability. For the first time in the world, IARI has bred and released a high yielding bread wheat variety HDCSW 18 specifically bred for CA. HD2967 and other wheat varieties of IARI currently occupy nearly 10 million ha and contribute approximately 50 million tons of wheat to the nation’s granary. • IARI has released seven basmati rice varieties viz. Pusa Basmati 1728, Pusa Basmati 1637, Pusa 1592, Pusa Basmati 1609, Pusa 1612, Pusa Basmati 1509 and Pusa 1612 during this period. Pusa Basmati 1509 and Basmati rice varieties earlier developed by the Institute (Pusa Basmati1, Pusa Basmati 1121) contribute approximately Rs. 20,000 crores annually to forex earning and bring prosperity to Basmati farmers. • Eight high yielding and biotic and abiotic stress tolerant desi and kabuli chickpea varieties (two by CVRC and 6 by SVRC) viz., Pusa 3043, Pusa 3022, Pusa 2085, Pusa Green 112, Pusa 103, Pusa 1105, Pusa 5023 and
