The 100th meeting of the ICRISAT Governing Board, which was recently convened, has endorsed the initiatives designed to progress the Institute’s strategic vision. The annual budget for 2022 was also approved in the meeting. This was the fifth Board meeting convened virtually since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prof Prabhu Pingali, Chair, ICRISAT Governing Board (GB), expressed his delight at his recent visit to the HQ in Hyderabad. He said it was a great opportunity to interact with the staff in the field and in labs, and to get an idea about the latest progress on the ground.
“I’m impressed with the way management have succeeded in continuing operations despite the many challenges due to the pandemic; the systems put in place will hopefully address any future ‘waves’ or ‘peaks’,” he said.
In briefing the meeting on the International Year of Millets (IYM) in 2023, Prof Pingali underscored its significance as a great opportunity for ICRISAT to showcase its work and its strong partnership with the Government of India. “As a Board, we stand firmly with the Indian government to promote IYM2023,” he said.
On behalf of all Board members, Prof Pingali thanked Ms Joanna Kane-Potaka, former Asst Director General, ICRISAT, and Executive Director, Smart Food, for her immense contribution towards building up the Smart Food initiative and also for her contributions over the past nine years.
Dr Trilochan Mohapatra, Vice Chair, ICRISAT GB, congratulated the Institute for winning the Africa Food Prize. He remarked that while Indian agriculture has performed well despite the impacts of COVID-19, there were several goals yet to be met such as breaking yield ceilings, mainstreaming millets, arresting decline in crop-growing areas and establishing sustainable food systems. He urged the Board to delve deeper into these challenges so as to develop solutions which would propel ICRISAT to further significance in the dryland regions.
