Proceedings of the
21st Meeting of ICAR Regional Committee No.4
The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) set up eight Regional Committees during 1975 for
each of the eight agro‐climatic regions of India. The Committees are serviced by the Member‐
Secretary, who is normally one of the Directors of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research
Institutes, located in the region. The Regional Committee meets once in two years to discuss and
review the current status of agricultural research, education and extension education to take
decisions on the various problems faced by the region either in the execution of the approved
programmes or in tackling the emergent problems and identify gaps for research by Agricultural
University or in transfer of known technology by extension agencies. The functions of the Regional
Committee are:
To review the status of agricultural research and education in the region, and
To analyse, discuss in depth and make recommendations on the location specific problems of
agriculture, animal husbandry, fisheries and forestry peculiar to the region.
The Regional Committee provides a good forum for a meaningful dialogue amongst research and
development agencies in the fields of agriculture, animal husbandry, fisheries and agro‐forestry. They
help in forging an effective liaison and Coordination amongst ICAR Institutes, Agricultural Universities
and State Departments of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, Ministers of Agriculture,
Animal Husbandry and Fisheries of State Governments and Vice‐Chancellors and Scientists of
Agricultural Universities. Directors of ICAR Institutes/Stations located in the region, Directors of
Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries of the State Governments, Members of the ICAR Society
and a few Progressive Farmers are invited to these meetings. The meetings help in discussion of
constraints in implementation of various programmes related to research, education and
development of agriculture in the region and in finding practicable solutions in overcoming the
constraints through joint efforts. Important recommendations arising out of the deliberations at the
meetings are communicated for action to the concerned State/Central Agricultural Universities/
Agencies.

The XXI Meeting of ICAR Regional Committee No IV comprising the states of Bihar, Jharkhand and
Uttar Pradesh was held on 21‐22 September, 2012 at ICAR Research Complex for Eastern Region,
Patna.
Inaugural Session
The meeting was inaugurated on September 21, 2012 by Sh. Narendra Singh, Hon’ble Minister of
Agriculture, Govt. of Bihar. Sh. Giriraj Singh, Hon’ble Minister of Animal Resources and Fisheries, Govt.
of Bihar, Dr. Mangala Rai, Advisor to Bihar Government & Former Director General, ICAR, Vice‐
Chancellors of State Agricultural Universities located in Region IV, DDGs and ADGs of ICAR, Directors
of ICAR institutes, officials of the SAUs and state agricultural departments were present on this
occasion. The inaugural function was presided over by Dr. S. Ayyappan, Secretary, DARE & Director
General, ICAR. Dr. B. P. Bhatt, Director, ICAR‐RCER, Patna welcomed the chief Guest and all the
distinguished guests present on the occasion. He spoke on the role being played by the RCER Patna in
the agricultural development of states in the region. At the outset, Dr. S. K. Datta, DDG (Crops
Science), ICAR and In‐charge, Regional Committee No IV, highlighted the science based approach to
agricultural development, particularly about the role of biotechnological interventions in crops and
livestock for enhancing productivity in the region.
Addressing the gathering on this occasion, Dr. S. Ayyappan, Secretary (DARE), & Director
General (ICAR), in his opening remarks, expressed happiness on the presence of the Vice‐Chancellors
of SAUs in good number compared to the previous meetings. However, he also cautioned about the
poor response of the states on the Action Taken Reports, availability of reliable state specific
production and productivity data; expenditure incurred etc. and other reports sought from these
departments, where there are huge gaps. The objectives of the regional committee meetings would
remain unfulfilled till the state departments come forward, respond to the communications timely
and join the deliberations in good numbers. The poor participation of functionaries from Uttar
Pradesh was specifically mentioned, since it has wider implications for central funding to the states
especially from the ICAR.

Dr. Ayyappan, further said that agriculture needs a big push through technological
interventions and technology transfer efforts, for which the ICAR is strongly committed. He
emphasized on multi‐faceted growth in agriculture sector and exhorted the participants to utilize the
multiple platforms to identify areas of regional importance in agriculture and deliberate over for
setting priorities for the XII plan and develop roadmap for agricultural development in states of Bihar,
Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh. While appreciating the efforts of Bihar government for developing
agricultural development strategy for the state, he emphasized that every state needs a roadmap of
agricultural development taking into account the region specific agricultural situations. Dr. Mangala
Rai, Advisor to Bihar Government & former Director General, ICAR elaborated the agricultural
development priorities in the eastern region, while stressing on water management, soil conservation,
seeds of high yielding varieties, biotechnological interventions, food processing, marketing and trade
as the areas to be paid maximum attention.
Sri Giriraj Singh, Hon’ble Minister of Animal Resources and Fisheries, Govt. of Bihar spoke
about the role of animals and fish in the development of the Eastern Region especially in the state of
Bihar. He highlighted the role of animals, poultry and fisheries in diversification of farming systems
and augmenting the income of farmers and nutritional security in the form of high quality protein. He
stressed that in Eastern states animal husbandry sector is lagging behind despite its very high
potential which needs urgent attention. Sri Narendra Singh, Hon’ble Minister of Agriculture,
Government of Bihar inaugurated the meeting. The Hon’ble Minister in his address spoke at length
about the agricultural development needs of eastern region particularly Bihar. He stressed the need
for strengthening research and technology transfer mechanisms existing in the state. Sri Singh opined
that there is a lot of potential in Bihar and other eastern states for agricultural development which
needs to be harnessed with concerted efforts of scientists and development departments. He
exhorted the scientists and officials to pay maximum attention to the needs of the small farmers by
improving the process of location specific technological interventions and initiatives for timely
transfer of technology.
The inaugural session concluded with the vote of thanks proposed by Dr. Gaya Prasad,
Director, IVRI & Member Secretary of the ICAR Regional Committee No IV.

Technical Sessions
Dr. S. Ayyappan, Secretary, DARE & DG, ICAR chaired all the interactive sessions. He welcomed all the
participants and asked Dr Gaya Prasad, Member Secretary of the ICAR Regional Committee No IV to
present the Action Taken Report of the previous meeting of the Regional Committee No. IV, held at
Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi on October 7‐9, 2010. As such, the technical session started with
the presentation of Action Taken Report on the recommendations of the XX meeting of the ICAR
Regional Committee No IV, held at Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi during 7‐9 October, 2010 by
Dr. Gaya Prasad, Member Secretary. The presentation led to discussion on several issues requiring

problems to be resolved by the SAUs.
2. Research is needed to generate empirical research based data including in the farmers’ field
on use of micro irrigation to determine efficiency of drip and sprinkler irrigation in Litchi
production. Protocol for making wine from Litchi which is under process at NRC, Litchi needs
to be expedited soon.
