ifpri - naip - reflections of research managers on capacity building programs - c s prasad
DESCRIPTION
National Agricultural Innovation Project (NAIP), ICAR and the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) organized a two day workshop on ‘Impact of capacity building programs under NAIP’ on June 6-7, 2014 at AP Shinde Auditorium, NASC Complex, Pusa, New Delhi. The main purpose of the workshop was to present and discuss the findings of the impact evaluation study on capacity building programs under NAIP by IFPRI. The scientists from ICAR and agricultural universities were sent abroad to receive training in specialized research techniques. Post-training, scientists were expected to work on collaborative projects within the ICAR, which would further enrich their knowledge and skills, expand their research network and stimulate them’ to improve their productivity, creativity and quality of their research. The ICAR commissioned with IFPRI (International Food Policy Research Institute) to undertake an evaluation of these capacity building programs under NAIP in July 2012. The workshop shared the findings on the impact of capacity building programs under NAIP and evolve strategies for future capacity building programsTRANSCRIPT

IMPACT
• A new technique for LCA of enteric methane emission
• Simulating environmental stress using THI, wind velocity and
solar radiation and developing stress markers
• Granulosa cell culture method – reduced time by 6 months
and cost by 30% over the conventional method
• Phynol in plants- phynotic acid as a marker- nutraceutical
production
