Aim/Agenda
About us:
ICAR-Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute (IASRI) is a pioneer institute of Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) undertaking research, teaching and training in Agricultural Statistics, Computer Application and Bioinformatics. Ever since its inception way back in 1930, as small Statistical Section of the then Imperial Council of Agricultural Research, the Institute has grown in stature and made its presence felt both nationally and internationally. ICAR-IASRI has been mainly responsible for conducting research in Agricultural Statistics and Informatics to bridge the gaps in the existing knowledge. It has also been providing education/ training in Agricultural Statistics and Informatics to develop trained human resources in the country. The research and education are used for improving the quality and meeting the challenges of agricultural research in newer emerging areas.
What we do:
ICAR-Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute (IASRI) started its journey as a Statistical Section in 1930 in the then Imperial Council of Agricultural Research, has grown in size and stature to a premier Institute to conduct research, education and training in the field of Statistical Sciences (Statistics, Computer Applications and Bioinformatics). ICAR-IASRI has been mainly responsible for conducting research in Agricultural Statistics and Informatics to bridge the gaps in the existing knowledge. The Institute also conducts M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree courses in Agricultural Statistics, Computer Applications and Bioinformatics in collaboration with The Graduate School, IARI, New Delhi. The Institute also conducts customized and sponsored training courses in Agricultural Statistics and Informatics at National and International level so as to be a leading Centre of Excellence in Human Resource Development. The Institute provides advisory and consultancy services for strengthening the National Agricultural Research and Education System (NARES) and undertakes sponsored research and consultancy for National and International organizations. The methodological support is also provided for strengthening National Agricultural Statistics System (NASS).
The Institute has been playing the leading role in development of robust Agricultural Knowledge Management Systems for NARES. The Institute has used the power of Statistics, as a science, blended with Informatics and their judicious fusion in agricultural sciences for enhancing quality agricultural research, to meet the challenges of agricultural research in newer emerging areas and informed policy decision making. The present main thrust of the Institute is to conduct basic, applied, adaptive, strategic and anticipatory research in Agricultural Statistics and Informatics, to develop trained manpower and to disseminate knowledge and information produced so as to meet the methodological challenges of agricultural research in the country. ICAR-IASRI has also become a leader in innovative data management by establishing Advanced Supercomputing Hub for Omics Knowledge in Agriculture (ASHOKA), ICAR-Data Center, Krishi Megh (National Agricultural Research & Education System-Cloud Infrastructure and Services). Setting up an advanced teaching-learning environment in Agricultural Higher Education through Academic Management System (AMS), Agri-Diksha Web Education Channel, Virtual Classrooms in all AUs, andAR/VR Experience Centers is providing new age educational technologies in NARES. ICAR received Gold Icon Award in open data championship category-2020 from Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY), Govt. of India for ICAR Research Data Management (KRISHI Portal).
The Institute has adapted itself to the needs and demands of present era and is working on a couple of new research initiatives relating to Artificial Intelligence (AI) in agriculture and making efforts to develop a Virtual Centre of Excellence on AI in Agriculture. For digital dissemination of technologies/information/ advisory to farmers, the Institute is implementing KISAN SARATHI for two-way communication system between farmers and agricultural experts and also added new functionalities in KVK Portal. KRISHI Portal (Agricultural Knowledge Resources and Information System Hub for Innovations) has been shown in good practices in Data Governance Quality Index (DGQI) of Development Monitoring and Evaluation, an attached office of NITI Aayog. The institute has developed many web applications, web portals, android apps, algorithms, methodologies etc. to meet the need of National Agriculture Research System. An android-based application-eLISS data collection app has been used Pan India by Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Govt. of India to conduct Integrated Sample Survey for estimation of production of four major livestock commodities.
The Institute also occupies a place of pride in the National Agricultural Statistics System (NASS) and has made several important contributions in strengthening NASS, which has a direct impact on the national policies. The Institute has contributed significantly by providing excellent human resources to NARES in the country in the disciplines of Agricultural Statistics and Informatics for meeting the challenges of Agricultural Research in the newer emerging areas. Conducting postgraduate teaching and in-service courses in Agricultural Statistics, Computer Application and Bioinformatics for human resource development is an important activity.
Objectives of the sub-project:
- To develop an interactive and dynamic data management framework
- To develop generic software framework for intelligent decision support system
- To customize and develop crop/commodity specific intelligent DSS
- To develop sampling strategy for field data collection and provide consultancy in data handling, analysis and interpretation of experimental results
