Message from the Director General
ICRISAT strongly advocates and practices Science with a Human Face - research not for its own sake, but targeted at specific goals dedicated to the rural poor. Through science with a human face, we are committed to substantially contribute to the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals, specifically those dealing with poverty, hunger, gender and health issues. Our strategy is to harness the power of technology for development, food security, poverty alleviation and environmental protection, in partnership with similarly oriented agencies and organizations, to improve the livelihoods of the poor farmers in the semi-arid tropics of the world. Agri-Science Park is the flagship initiative of ICRISAT to steer the same.
