    Abstract

    The main objective of the workshop titled Corporate Science and Technology Institutions- Partnerships for Inclusive and Sustainable Development and Economic Growth held at ICRISAT was to relate high-end science and technology with the corporate sector for the benefit of farmers in rainfed areas. More specifically, the potential of watershed-based activities in maximizing land and water use for sustainable development through commercially viable non-conventional and improved technologies for better livelihoods was sought. The private sector can substantially contribute to a sustainable development in the rural areas by developing a businesslike model for agriculture making it profitable by providing a touch of professionalism in management systems. ICRISAT has the vision and goal to improve the well-being of the rural poor in the SAT through sustainable use of natural resources by adopting science-led development pathway. The CII partnership along with other NGOs in research and development will help to realize this vision through scaling-out the benefits by building public-private partnerships in the area of rainfed agriculture.
