International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges &
Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad
Conclusion
The reasons for this were lack of NSA mandate, lack of induction program with nutrition topic,
lack of resources, manpower, knowledge and awareness, lack of commitment, responsibility,
lack of collaborations with other institutions, low availability or use ICE/ICT material and
administrational problems. Immediate action is needed to train the EAS staff on nutritional
concepts to achieve the Sustainable developmental goals (SDGs).

Maize is the third most grain crop in India after rice and wheat. Intercropping in maize with
short duration legumes, oilseeds and others has potential to obtain high productivity and
profitability at low water use without reducing its own yield (Sharma et al., 2013) Intercropping
provides insurance against crop failure or unstable market prices. Inclusion of legumes in a
system as intercrop, not only supplement nitrogen to the base crop but also increases the amount
