It becomes possible due to favourable policy of the Government, technology back up provided by the research institutes, appropriate delivery mechanisms and painstaking efforts of farmers. However, it remains still challenging to sustain and further enhance the productivity in order to feed the ever-growing population which is expected to reach 1.6 billion by 2050. Rice being the principal staple crop of our country, any deterioration of rice production system because of declining resource base, adverse weather conditions under rapidly changing climate, etc. would negatively impact our food security. Research efforts at CRRI using traditional and modern tools have been successful in developing improved and hybrid varieties and other rice production tech- nologies suitable for diverse rice ecologies in the country, which have greater environmental, eco- nomic and social benefits. The Institute continues striving for developing varieties and technologies to make rice farming profitable and attractive. Reducing the cost of cultivation, enhancing the re- source use efficiency, farm mechanization and drudgery reduction, designing effective crop protec- tion strategies, technology dissemination and capacity building are being pursued with vigour. As nodal monitoring agency, CRRI is actively involved in “Bringing Green Revolution in Eastern India” programme of the Department of Agriculture & Cooperation, Government of India, New Delhi which is addressing the constraints limiting the productivity of rice-based cropping systems in Eastern India. The Annual Report of 2011-12 is a compilation of the progress made in the last one year on all the above aspects. As the premier rice research institute in the country, CRRI has strong commitment to achieving excellence and spearheading rice innovations for sustaining national food security and prosperity. The guidance and inspiration received from Dr. S. Ayyappan, Hon’ble Secretary, DARE and Director General, ICAR, New Delhi, Dr. S. K. Datta, Deputy Director General (Crop Science), ICAR, New Delhi, Dr. E.A. Siddiq, Chairman, QRT and its members, and Dr. R.B. Singh, Chairman, RAC and its members are deeply acknowledged. I acknowledge the support extended by Dr. R.P. Dua, Assistant Director General (FFC), ICAR, New Delhi for successfully implementing the institute activities. I appreciate the efforts of Heads of Division, OIC of Regional Research Stations, Publication Committee, Administration, Finance and Publication Unit of the Institute for compiling and editing the Annual Report. My sincere thanks are due to all the staff of the institute for their whole-hearted support in carrying out institute’s activities. I hope that this report will be useful for policy makers, researchers, development functionaries, farmers and students. (T.
