ABOUT
Central Research Institute of Dryland Agriculture in Santoshnagar, Hyderabad, Telangana, India and NRSC is an autonomous society managed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India and in year 1985 it has been converted into a constituent organisation of Indian Council of Agricultural Research. CRIDA upgraded to the All India Coordinated Research Project for Dryland Agriculture, Hyderabad. It is working on the development of suitable technologies to increase the productivity in rainfed areas. The research centre is one of the major organisations within the Natural Resource Management Division of ICAR, responsible for performing the research for betterment of rainfed areas through resource management. Centre is working in field of Integrated Watershed Management Programme, Impact of Climate Change in Rainfed Agriculture and Adaptation Strategies, Mechanization of Rainfed Agriculture, Integrated Farming Systems in Dryland Areas.

CRIDA VISION 2030
1) Rainfed Agricultural Scenario
Rainfed agriculture is largely exercised in arid, semi-arid and subhumid regions in the Nation. With about 68% of rural population, these areas are also home to 81% of rural poor. In rainfed regions, the yearly precipitation is expected to be lower than the evapo-transpiration demand particularly in arid and dry semi-arid areas. Coarse cereals (85%), pulses (83%), oilseeds (70%), and cotton (65%) are the principal rainfed crops grown in Country.
Rainfed agriculture is examined as a speculation with monsoon while soils in these areas are not only thirsty but also hungry. Rainfed agricultural structure is influenced by both bio-physical and socio-economic features and their interaction.
2) Rainfed Agriculture Research Network
Rainfed agriculture comprises a prime part of Indian agriculture and it necessitate a strong and comprehensive research programme which acknowledge to converting needs of food and nutritional security. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) recommended to the high potential of rainfed agriculture which could feed the entire globe by use of enhanced technology. Rainfed fields have been receiving attentiveness from time to time since the first Famine Commission and Royal Commission on Agriculture. However, it was only in 1923 that the first structured and scientific approach to the complication of dry farming research was started.
3) CRIDA 2030
Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture is targeting on location precise, and need based diversified farming systems in different agro-ecological areas of rainfed fields for increasing production, productivity and profitability. Further, more attempts are being made to assess vulnerability of various rainfed areas to climate change/variability and transform effective adaptation and mitigation strategies.
4) Harnessing Science
The Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture (CRIDA) has an ordinance which requires harnessing frontier science tools and also participatory approaches for technology establishment. The Institute would attempt to make best use of emerging new technologies like remote sensing, geographical information systems, etc. to attain breakthroughs in technology generation in rainfed agriculture and drought management.
