Critical Juncture: The Future of India's Climate Resilient Agriculture

The NICRA programme has reached a pivotal stage, requiring strategic direction and a long-term vision, as per ICAR Director General M L Jat. The initiative, which supports climate-resilient agriculture, launched a new digital platform to aid farmers, underlining India's role as a global model.

India's renowned NICRA programme for climate resilience in agriculture stands at a significant turning point, needing strategic oversight and farsighted planning, according to ICAR Director General M L Jat.

During a review workshop, Jat unveiled a new digital initiative, the Atlas of Climate Adaptation in Indian Agriculture (ACASA-India), aiming to provide farmers with precise, data-driven adaptation strategies.

With initiatives like NICRA and the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana, India's focus on integrated science, policy, and technological innovation has bolstered agricultural resilience, offering a blueprint for global adoption.
