GG News Bureau
New Delhi, 14th Dec. NITI Aayog and IFPRI have signed a Statement of Intent (SoI) to strengthen policy frameworks for agricultural transformation and rural development in India.
The five-year SoI grants IFPRI the mandate to support NITI’s Agriculture Vertical in various areas. This includes developing and tracking Rural Transformation Indicators, supporting the design and evaluation of flagship programs, providing policy analytical tools, and generating evidence on India’s agri-food trade.
NITI Aayog has been actively guiding India’s development programs with a focus on agriculture. IFPRI will provide policy analytics and support in areas such as agriculture, rural development, trade, and climate change policies.
The signing of the SoI will allow for collaboration and knowledge sharing between IFPRI, NITI Aayog, and other global partners.
Prof. Ramesh Chand expressed his belief that the SoI will lead to collaborative work that can generate new insights into the role of agriculture in shaping economic development in India and other emerging economies.
