CRRI has developed 194 rice varieties, including stress-tolerant and biofortified types, covering over 22% of India\u2019s rice area with significant economic returns.\r\nKey innovations showcased included genome editing tools (TnpB), straw reuse technologies, AI-based precision agriculture, drone applications, and the RiceXpert advisory platform. The institute also highlighted developments in low glycaemic index rice, methane-reducing methanotroph formulations, and nitrogen-efficient technologies.\r\nAn interactive session addressed queries on climate-resilient agriculture, organic farming, and GI-tagged rice. The delegation visited advanced laboratories and research fields, gaining first-hand exposure to ongoing work.\r\nThe visit strengthened awareness of CRRI\u2019s contributions and fostered stronger media linkages for effective dissemination of agricultural technologies to farming communities.\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"310\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19165\" src=\"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/JU-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\" \/><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"310\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19165\" src=\"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/JU-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\" \/><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"310\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19165\" src=\"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/JU-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\" \/><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"310\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19165\" src=\"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/JU-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\" \/><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"310\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19165\" src=\"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/JU-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\" \/><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"310\"><img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19165\" src=\"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/JU-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"5184\" height=\"3456\" \/><\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<\/tbody>\r\n<\/table>","_en_post_name":"visit-of-journalists-from-uttarakhand-to-icar-central-rice-research-institute-to-understand-research-and-development-initiatives","_en_post_excerpt":"","_en_post_title":"Visit of Journalists from Uttarakhand to ICAR-Central Rice Research Institute to Understand Research and Development Initiatives","edit_language":"hi","footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25801","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25801","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25801"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25801\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25865,"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25801\/revisions\/25865"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/icar-crri.in\/hi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
