Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) works at the forefront of developing new varieties, bioformulation, disease control and prevention methods, farming techniques as well as adding value to agricultural commodities. ICAR has developed several technologies and farming practices to ensure food and nutritional security in a sustainable manner. The promotion of ICAR technologies through Agrinnovate India Limited (AgIn) has played a significant role in driving innovation and technological advancements in the agriculture. These developments have paved the way for practices such as precision farming, organic farming techniques, use of bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides, as well as smart irrigation systems initiatives to not only improve farm productivity but also contribute to reducing input costs. Agrinnovate India Limited (AgIn) plays an important role to promote and commercialize agricultural technologies developed by ICAR. Agrinnovate India Limited ensures that these technologies reach to end-users across the country., by facilitating the technology transfer, licensing agreements, and partnerships with private sector companies, Agrinnovate India Limited plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between research of ICAR and end-users.

I appreciate the efforts of the AgIn team for its achievements during the year by generating a gross revenue of Rs.7.41 crores. AgIn has transferred 151 technologies to various private Companies, Public sector organizations and individual entrepreneurs including farmers during the year. AgIn has organised various promotional activities for commercialisation of technologies and collaboration in taking the research forward and to make the technologies Industry ready for the faster adoption by the end- users.
