Abstract: Rainfed agriculture which constitutes nearly 58 per cent of net cultivated area will be the most impacted. With this background, ICAR has launched a major network project, National Initiative on Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA), during 2010-11. In first phase 100 vulnerable districts were covered under this project adding 21 new districts second phase to undertake strategic research on adaption and mitigation, fill critical research gaps and demonstrate technologies on farmers’ fields to cope up with current climate variability and capacity building of different stakeholders. The impact of climate resilient varieties of crops was studied by KVK Jaora, Ratlam during 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20 in NICRA village which Improved Water logging tolerant variety of Soybean RVS-2001-04 given higher yield of 42.0 per cent over traditional variety. The Drought tolerant wheat variety DBW-110 and IH-1605 in Rabi season contributed 21.0 per cent higher yield over local check variety Lok-1. The heat tolerant Chickpea variety JG-14 in Rabi season contributed 18.59 per cent higher yield over local variety.
