RARE PHOTOS: Tci icrisat to improve database - The Real Truth

The Tata-Cornell Institute for Agriculture and Nutrition (TCI) and the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) are beginning a new phase of their partnership to expand and improve the District-Level Database for Indian Agriculture and Allied Sectors.

The open-access platform database will feature more up-to-date data and additional variables related to nutrition, food security, and sustainable agriculture in India.

The database currently features socio-economic, environmental, nutrition, and health-related information for 571 districts in 20 Indian States from 1966-2017. The data is apportioned to account for changes in district boundaries, allowing researchers to look at the diversity in growth patterns across India from a historical perspective. Altogether, the database includes 74 datasets, 1,030 variables, and more than 11 million data points.
