It is estimated that 40% of the world’s population consume rice as their major source of food, and 1.6 billion people in Asia take rice as their mainstay food. Further, rice production is an important source of livelihood for around 144 million rice-farming households and for millions of people working on rice farms as labourers. Paradoxically, rice farming is assumed to be associated with poverty in several countries. Moreover, ~900 million of the world’s poor depend on rice as producers or consumers. Out of these, some 400 million poor and undernourished people are engaged in growing rice. Therefore, SDGs comprising of No Poverty (Goal 1), Zero Hunger (Goal 2) and rice cultivation are highly related and achieving the first two SDGs is dependent on the profitable rice farming. Apart from Goal 1 and 2 of SDGs, rice production is also related with Gender equality (Goal 5), Clean water and sanitation (Goal 6), Decent work and economic growth (Goal 8), Responsible consumption and production (Goal 12), Climate action (Goal 13), Life on Land (Goal 15) and Partnerships (Goal 17). Above mentioned SDGs related with rice cultivation could only be achieved through integrated rice research, wide dissemination of technologies, empowerment of women, sustainable resource management, etc. The partnerships among the government institutions, public and private organizations, farmers, policy makers, and other stakeholders are essential for attaining the SDGs through rice cultivation. Keeping in mind those facts, the objective of this congress is to provide a platform for all rice stakeholders to interact and exchange ideas about recent advances in rice science and brainstorm key policies to meet the United nations’ SDGs as well as to sustain rice cultivation in India. The Congress is divided into four broad thematic areas 1. Enhancing rice productivity and quality, 2. Sustainable rice farming, 3. Biotic-stress management in rice and 4. Rice for livelihood security, equity, and profitability. We have received overwhelming responses from the rice researchers from the country and abroad. A total of 388 extended summaries were accepted for the Congress. This compilation was not possible without the support from the scientists from different partner institutes and from ICAR-National Rice Research Institute, Cuttack. At the end, we thank all the participants of this Congress without whose handwork and dedication for rice research, it was not possible to document the present trend of rice science. The great enthusiasm shown by honourable delegates from all around the world is praiseworthy.
