Schemes and Institutes
Indian Government, at all levels, announces Welfare Schemes for a cross section of the society from time to time. These Schemes could be either Central, State specific or a Joint collaboration between the Centre and the States. In this section, we have attempted to provide you with easy and single point access to information about several welfare schemes of the Government and their various aspects including eligible beneficiaries, types of benefits, scheme details etc.
An institute is a permanent organizational body created for a certain purpose. Often it is a research organization (research institution) created to do research on specific topics.
CRRI has been given the responsibility of conducting research on all aspects of rice and transfer of technology. The institute not only played a key role in ushering the country of an ear of green revolution heading to self-sufficiency in food grain supply in about 25 years from its inception, but also brought glory to the national by providing research support in rice to become the second largest exporter of rice in the world in the recent years.
IRRI, or the International Rice Research Institute, is a nonprofit independent research and training organization. IRRI develops new rice varieties and rice crop management techniques that help rice farmers improve the yield and quality of their rice in an environmentally sustainable way. We work with our public and private sector partners in national agricultural research and extension systems in major rice-growing countries to do research, training, and knowledge transfer. Our social and economic research also informs governments to help them formulate policy to improve the equitable supply of rice.
