Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), established in 1972 with its
headquarters at Patancheru, Andhra Pradesh, India, is a
non-profit, non-political, international research organization for science-based agricultural development. It belongs to the Alliance of Future Harvest Centers of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR). ICRISAT conducts research on its mandate crops ? sorghum, pearl millet, chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut ? which support the livelihoods of the poorest of the poor in the Semi-Arid Tropics (SAT). The mission of ICRISAT is to
