The National Academy
of Agricultural Sciences (NAAS), established in 1990, is among the youngest
of the Science Academies of India. It owes its origin to the vision of the late
Dr. B. P. Pal, FRS. The Academy focuses on the broad field of agricultural
sciences including crop husbandry, animal husbandry, fisheries, agro-forestry
and interface between agriculture and agro-industry. The Academy’s role is to
provide a forum to Agricultural Scientists to deliberate on important issues of
agricultural research, education and extension and present views of the
scientific community as policy inputs to planners, decision/opinion makers at
various levels.
The Academy has emerged as a vibrant national level body
devoted to agricultural sciences. It has organized several programmes of
national and international importance in critical areas. The Fellows of the
Academy, recognized for their contributions to science, include distinguished
personalities in the field of Agriculture and Allied Sciences, both from India
