Abstracts: Golden Jubilee International Salinity Conference (GJISC-2019)
ICAR-Central Soil Salinity Research Institute (CSSRI) during its journey of 50 years, since its
inception in 1969, has made impressive contributions in terms of development of technologies for
reclamation of salt-affected soils and waters. Besides U.S. Soil Salinity Laboratory, CSSRI is the only
institution in the World dedicated to development of technologies for salty land management for crop
production. It has been in the forefront, for last five decades, in developing technologies for holistic
management of salt-affected soils and waters, and extending them to millions of farmers through robust
extension mechanisms. In the context of climate change, the institute is fully geared up to face new
challenges for mitigation and adaptation for salt affected scenarios. With its first “International
Symposium on Salt-Affected Soils”, which was organized in 1980, the foundation was laid for
internationally collaborated efforts to mitigate soil salinity and transform lives of millions of farmers in
salt-affected areas worldwide. Since 2009, the institute has been organizing national seminars regularly in
collaboration with Indian Society of Soil Salinity and Water Quality (ISSSWQ), and also publishes
Journal of Soil Salinity and Water Quality (JSSWQ), to disseminate salinity related research findings. On
its Golden Jubilee anniversary, ICAR-CSSRI again proposes Golden Jubilee International Salinity
Conference on “Resilient Agriculture in Saline Environments under Changing Climate: Challenges
and Opportunities” during 7-9 February 2019 to bring together the national and international scientific
fraternity for devising the future roadmap to address the salinity issues in the backdrop of climate change
