CIMMYT’s partnership with the Indian government, spanning over more than five decades, is one of the longest and most productive in the world. The collaboration started with the visit of Nobel Laureate Dr. Norman E. Borlaug in 1963 to usher in the Green Revolution in active partnership with the Government of India.
Established in 2001, the CIMMYT-India office currently has 17 international and 110 national staff spread across Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, and Telangana. In 2011, the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and CIMMYT launched a new collaborative initiative, the Borlaug Institute for South Asia (BISA) which is dedicated to food, nutrition, and livelihood security as well as environmental rehabilitation in South Asia.
