| About National Agricultural Innovation Project (NAIP) |
Agricultural innovations and diffusion of new technologies are the important factors in the country’s quest for food, nutrition, environmental security and enhancement of income and employment. Agricultural research in India has generated outstanding productivity increases in the past and shall continue to play an important role in supporting rural livelihoods and accelerating rural growth. However, rising population and per capita income are pushing up the food-demand, which needs to be met through enhanced productivity per unit area, input, time and energy. Further, to utilize the technological breakthroughs that are already available for commercial use, the agricultural research priorities and strategies will have to be revisited and new system wide approaches need to be developed and adopted. The National Agricultural Innovation Project (NAIP) of Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) aims to address these issues through a coordinated effort on changing the content and process. The objective of the NAIP under Component 4 is to build capacity to undertake basic and strategic research in frontier areas of agricultural sciences and also generate basic information on some of the fundamental processes relevant to agriculture.
The present sub-project on ‘Toll-like receptors in farm animals – Evolutionary lineages and application in disease resistance’ aims to study the evolutionary lineages of TLRs in different farm animals and the role of TLR genes in disease resistance using naturally occurring resistance models.
