The
National Academy of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS), established in 1990, is among
the youngest of the Science Academies of India. It owes its origin to the
vision of the late Dr. B. P. Pal, FRS. The Academy focuses on the broad field
of agricultural sciences including crop husbandry, animal husbandry, fisheries,
agro-forestry and interface between agriculture and agro-industry. The
Academy’s role is to provide a forum to Agricultural Scientists to deliberate
on important issues of agricultural research, education and extension and
present views of the scientific community as policy inputs to planners,
decision/opinion makers at various levels.
The
Academy has emerged as a vibrant national level body devoted to agricultural
sciences. It has organized several programmes of national and international
importance in critical areas. The Fellows of the Academy, recognized for their
contributions to science, include distinguished personalities in the field of
Agriculture and Allied Sciences, both from India and abroad. “Corporate
