Correct Answer: DARE (Department of Agricultural Research & Education)
The Director General of ICAR also serves as the Secretary of DARE (Department of Agricultural Research and Education). This dual role ensures seamless coordination between the government department and the research council.
About DARE
- DARE is a department under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare, Government of India.
- It oversees and coordinates agricultural research and education in India.
- ICAR functions under DARE.
- The DG-ICAR/Secretary-DARE is thus the key link between government policy and agricultural research.
Why Other Options Are Wrong
- IRDP — a rural development program, not related to ICAR's administrative structure.
- IADP — an agricultural development program launched in 1960; not ICAR's secretarial link.
- TRYSEM — a youth employment training program; no link to ICAR DG's role.
