ICAR-CENTRAL MARINE FISHERIES RESEARCH INSTITUTE, KOCHI, KERALA has been awarded Sardar Patel Outstanding ICAR Institution Award 2019 in the category of Large Institute. The ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (ICARCMFRI), the largest fisheries research institute in the region, through its seven decade long committed R&D efforts has been able to sustain the marine fish production by way of its uniquely twin role of generating fisheries governance/policy oriented knowledge system as well as resource augmenting and conservation oriented technological options that transform the marine space as a frontier food production system. Mandated for developing time series database on marine fish production from the EEZ of the country, their biology, distribution, abundance, fishery forecast, potential yield, and stock assessment, the Institute has been assisting the Central Government as well as maritime states informulating and implementing management measures for sustainable production. The mariculture technologies developed for open sea cage farming of high value marine finfish and shellfish, bivalves and marine ornamentals have bolstered the coastal livelihood-cum-nutritional security and women empowerment. The Institute also addresses issues of ecosystem health, biodiversity conservation, marine biotechnology, and coastal pollution. The HRD and out-reach extension programmes of the Institute have an enduring impact on the sector. The CMFRI has demonstrated its competence, commitment and mission to the overall fisheries development, fulfilling the Blue Economy aspirations of the nation. ICAR-CMFRI has emerged as a global leader in research and development related to tropical marine fisheries and mariculture.

Significant Achievements 2014-2023 aspiring for a developed India in the Amrit Kaal

The ICAR mandated activities on agricultural research, extension, education, and capacity building have consistently contributed to food, nutrition and livelihood security of the country. The innovations, growth and sustainability in Indian agriculture sector are the outcomes of these activities. The synergistic congregation, positive policy decisions, administrative actions, persistent financial support and determined efforts at field and laboratory level during last nine years have exponentially accelerated the agricultural outputs and outcomes in India. The major achievements of ICAR during 2014-2023 are precisely presented in this document “Significant Achievements (2014-23): Aspiring for a Developed India in the Amrit Kaal”. The achievements are grouped into 16 themes. To document the net progress, the achievements during two periods (2014-23 and 2005-2014) were compared. In crop husbandry, the progress highlighted an increase in number of varieties released in field crops (2279) and horticultural crops (485). These varieties were tailored to improve crop quality and yield through bio-fortification and addressing emerging biotic and abiotic stresses. The crop varieties were equally supplemented for efficient farm outputs with location and crop specific production practices, 28 eco-friendly pest management modules, contingency practices, soil-crop-water management strategies, bio-fertilizers, bio-formulations, farm machineries, integrated organic farming practices and integrated farming system modules. ICAR also supported the establishment of model agro-processing centres for enhancing value addition and storage and reducing post-harvest losses
