PME/ Consultancy Cell

Priority Setting, Monitoring, and Evaluation (PME) Cell of the institute is pivotal for optimizing research challenges and outcomes effectively. Priority setting involves identifying key research areas based on factors such as national research priorities, emerging trends, and the needs of farmers and stakeholders. Subsequently, robust monitoring mechanisms are put in place to track the progress of research projects, ensuring that resources are utilized efficiently and milestones are achieved. Evaluation processes then assess the impact, relevance, and sustainability of research initiatives, providing insights for continuous improvement and strategic decision-making. The PME was created to help with the effective administration of the institute's collaborative, internal, networked, grant-in-aid, and R&D initiatives. In essence, the PME will act as a liaison between the institute's Principal Investigators, the Finance Section, the Purchase Section, and ICAR, facilitating easy collaboration and communication between these units. Through the PME Cell and its efforts, ICAR institutes can enhance their involvement in promoting research innovation, productivity, and rural development, ensuring that their initiatives are in line with national goals and societal needs.
