The Calendar for Capacity Building Programmes for the year 2020-21 of ICAR-NAARM has been prepared based on the HRD needs of ICAR and past experiences in conducting several capacity building
programmes.
The National Academy of Agricultural Research Management plays a pivotal role in enhancing the capacities of individuals and institutions of National Agricultural Research and Education System (NARES) in agricultural research, education, extension and technology management. In over last four decades, the Academy has been contributing significantly to the development of professionals of NARES.
In the recent years, the Academy widened its scope of activities and initiated new capacity building programmes on contemporary issues to develop new generation of young leaders and managers who can contribute to sustainable agricultural development.
As an integrated institution of agricultural research management, the Academy focuses on creation, dissemination and application of knowledge through its academic, training, research and consultancy and policy support programmes.
Director,
(Ch. Srinivasa Rao)
