International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges &
Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad
The outcomes of the investigation indicated, realizing a higher yield of 32.3 – 34.1 o C
temperature, 65.27 per cent relative humidity and 241.9- 319.2 mm of rainfall during mango
flowering and fruiting period was found optimum.

National Innovations on Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) is a network project of the Indian
Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) launched in February 2011. The project aims to enhance the
resilience of Indian agriculture to climate change and climate vulnerability through strategic research
and technology demonstration. The research on adaptation and mitigation covers crops, livestock,
fisheries, and natural resource management. The project consists of four components viz. Strategic
Research, Technology Demonstration, Capacity Building and Sponsored/Competitive Grants. Climate
change has become an important area of concern for India to ensure food and nutritional security for
the growing population. The impacts of climate change are global, but countries like India are more
vulnerable because of the high population depending on agriculture. In India, significant negative
impacts have been implied with medium-term (2010-2039) climate change, predicted to reduce yields
by 4.5 to 9 percent, depending on the magnitude and distribution of warming. Since agriculture makes
up roughly 16 percent of India’s GDP, a 4.5 to 9% negative impact on production implies a cost of
climate change to be roughly up to 1.5 percent of GDP per year. The Government of India has
accorded high priority to research and development to cope with climate change in the agriculture
sector.
