NAAS –TATA Young Scientists’ Research Fellowship

In addition to the above awards, the Academy initiated a scheme for award of five Research Fellowships (three-years duration) in 2001 to support Young Scientists working in the ICAR Institutes, State Agricultural Universities and other research organizations for undertaking mission oriented research projects benefiting the farming community. Sir Dorabji Tata Trust provided the financial support for these Fellowships. On the basis of findings of the project awarded to Dr. A.K. Mishra in the field of Natural Resource Management, an implementable action plan was worked out and sent to Sir Dorabji Tata Trust for consideration of providing financial help for continuation of the NAAS-TATA Young Scientists' Research Fellowship scheme.
