WHAT IS ICAR The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) is an autonomous organization under the Department of Agricultural Research and Education (DARE), Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare , Government of India ICAR stands for INDIAN COUNCIL OF AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH The Council is the apex body for coordinating , guiding and managing research and education in agriculture including horticulture, fisheries and animal sciences in the entire country
It was established on 16 July 1929 as a registered society under the Societies Registration Act ICAR has its headquarters at New Delhi . Minister of agriculture is the president of ICAR With 101 ICAR institutes and 71 agricultural universities spread across the country this is one of the largest national agricultural systems in the world

1 2 3 4 5 ICAR scientist were the first in the world to sequence the pigeon pea genome. It was a purely indigenous effort by 31 scientists ICAR developed a vaccine against birds flu. Vaccine was developed at high security animal disease laboratory ICAR helped country to increase the production of food grains by 5.4 times, horticultural crops by 10.1 times, fish by 15.2 times, milk 9.7 times and eggs 48.1 times since 1951 to 2017 Developed and released nearly 3,300 high-yielding varieties/hybrids of field crops for different agro-ecologies A total of 1,596 high yielding varieties and hybrids of horticultural crops were developed.
