COMPONENT 1 OF THE NAIP
ICAR as the Catalyzing Agent for the Management of Change in the Indian NARS
Numerous opportunities are being unfolded by the fast developments in scientific fields like biotechnology, nano-technology, space technology, information and communications technology, etc. To address these challenges, cater to changes and avail opportunities, the ICAR in the recent past has taken several initiatives, including NATP, in the areas of O&M reforms, technology generation and technology dissemination. However, a need has been visualized to extend, expand, innovate and institutionalize these efforts more vigorously through further strengthening of the NARS.
Component 1 is aimed at creating appropriate policy and institutional environment, incentives, skills and work culture to optimize benefits from the projects under Components 2, 3 and 4 as well as from the NARS. Support for the NARS will be in terms of
(a) information, communication and dissemination systems,
(b) competitive business policy and technology commercialization models,
(c) advanced learning and state-of-the art capacity building initiatives,
(d) value-added market intelligence services,
(e) good M&E and strengthened impact evaluation systems,
(f) project-friendly financial management and procurement systems, and
(g) well-defined roles for and interfaces between the state and central R&D systems.
The emphasis in this Component will be on the SAUs, which comprise a majority of the scientists in the Indian NARS.
To read in detail about the component 1, please refer to the Chapter 3 of Project Implementation Plan (PIP).
