The National Academy of Agricultural Research Management

The National Academy of Agricultural Research Management (NAARM) was established by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) at Hyderabad, in 1976, to address issues related to agricultural research and education management. In the initial years, the Academy primarily imparted foundation training to the new entrants of the Agricultural Research Service of ICAR. Subsequently, its role expanded to include research, capacity building of senior professionals of national and international NARS in agricultural research and education management, and policy and consultancy support to NARS. The Academy also renders services for building IP portfolios like patents and geographical indications to various stakeholders including farmers and scientists.

The activities of the Academy cover a broad range of themes in three key areas: Agricultural systems management and policies, Information and communication management and Human resources management. The services of the Academy are sought nationally as well as globally for enhancing individual and institutional performance and for organizational renewal and change. Keeping in view the increasing emphasis on the creation, dissemination, application and exchange of knowledge in this vital area, the Academy initiated Post graduate education programs in management in 2009 and has also established an Agribusiness Knowledge Center.
