THE MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE d`f'k vkSj fdlku dY;k.k ea=h (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

(a) Yes,  Sir.    Department  of  Agricultural  Education  &  Research  (DARE)/  Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has established a Central Agriculture University,  a  number  of  Research  Institutes,  Regional  Research  Centres  and  Krishi Vigyan  Kendras  (KVKs)  in  the  North-Eastern  States.  Detailed  list  is  enclosed  as Annexure-I.

(b) In  the  last  5  year  ICAR  has  developed 438 varieties  of  crops  including  Cereals, Oilseeds,  Pulses,  Fibres,  Forages  and  Sugarcane  besides  potato  (1),  elephant  foot  yam (1),  guava  (4),  papaya  (1),  pineapple  (1)  arecanut  (1)  and  orchids  (5).  The  varieties  so developed are suitable for different land use conditions of the North Eastern region. The detail is given in Annexure-II.

(c) The KVKs under Agriculture Technology Application Research Institute (ATARIs) based in the region are mandated for technology assessment and demonstration for its application and capacity development for proper dissemination of agricultural technologies among farmers including small and marginal ones working in North  eastern  state.  The  details  regarding  the  number  of  farmers  benefitted  from  the technologies and the training and capacity building programmes run by ICAR are given in Annexure-III.

(d) The ICAR research Institutes have carved out a clear-cut road map for research & development  for  the  next  5  years,  as  well  as  vision  documents  (vision  2030).  The implementation of the action plans  besides  being  monitored  by  the  Concerned  Subject Matter  Divisions  at  the  ICAR  Headquarters  is  also  reviewed  and  refined  by  the Quinquinneal Review Teams, set up by the Council for this purpose.   The major focus is accorded  to  the  development  of  horticulture,  livestock,  poultry,  fish  and  crop  based intensive farming systems, horticulture based organic production system besides sustainable crop and animal production together with skill development programmes and other  related  activities.  Besides,  ICAR  has  also  developed  state  specific,  technology driven strategy documents to enable doubling farmers' incomes by 2022 in respect of all the states of the region.

(e) In  pineapple  growing  areas  including  north  eastern  states,  pineapple  fruits  are mostly  harvested  at  fully  ripe  stage  which  is  technically  not  advisable.  The  research conducted  by  ICAR  Research  Institutes  have  revealed  that,  depending  on  the  travel distance between the orchards and the market, the fruits should be harvested at CS-2 (2025%  colour  development  stage)  which  enhances  shelf  life  by  8-10  days  (at  room temperature 22-25°C) or CS-3 stage (40-50% colour development) which enhances shelf life by 5-6 days. This way the post harvest losses could be minimised.

Shelf life of pineapple can also be enhanced by processing and value addition.

The following technologies have been developed by the ICAR.

1. Zero waste technology for Osmo Dehydrated pineapple products (OUAT, Bhuvaneswar centre)
2. Osmotic Dehydrated Pineapple Candy (ICAR-CIPHET, Ludhiana)
3. Process protocol for extraction of bromelain from pineapple waste for muscle food tenderization (CAU, Imphal centre)

For pre-processing and easier handling of Pineapple fruits, ICAR has developed, peeler cum corer cum slicer (CAU, Imphal centre) & Pineapple cutter for dividing one pineapple fruit into 04 (four) quarters (CAU, Imphal centre).
