AgricultureAgriculture continues to be the most cru-

cial sector of the Indian economy. With

26.8 percent contribution to the Gross

Domestic Product (GDP) at current prices

and providing employment to nearly

2/3rd of the work force, agriculture is so

much at the center stage in the Indian

economy that any situational change in

this sector, positive or negative, has a

multiplier effect on the entire economy.

CTRAN seeks to support the State

Governments and other stakeholders to

evolve suitable strategies, technical

assistance for promotion of partnerships

with communities to enhance institutional

and human capacities and bring about a

sustainable change in the Agriculture and

allied sectors. It also works on

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) which

helps to guide actions needed to transform

and reorient agricultural systems to effec-

tively support development and ensure

food security in a changing climate.
