The objectives of this study were to review and analyse current policy situations and study policy formulation process on plant genetic resource for food and agriculture (PGRFA) in Nepal. The case study employed multidisciplinary, participatory and process oriented research approach to elicit information from various stakeholders at different steps and hierarchical levels. The major participatory tools involved were semi-structure interview, consultation meeting, focus group discussions, travelling seminar and workshop. The information was supplemented with secondary review, in-house discussion of project multidisciplinary research team members followed by informal monitoring of initiaatives of the key stakeholder groups. The study revealed the lack of overall policy on PGRFA in the country despite the importance of agricultural sector, predominance of informal seed systems and rich diversity of farmers' indigenous knowledge on genetic resources. As a signatory of the Convention...

Plant Genetic Resources – The global view The ex situ conservation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) is a global concern and plays a central role for food security in the future. The germplasm is conserved in genebanks Summary: Plant genetic resources play a major role for global food security. The most significant and widespread means of conserving plant genetic resources is ex situ conservation. Most conserved accessions are kept in specialized facilities known as genebanks. World-wide 7.4 million accessions are stored in 1 750 ex situ genebanks. One of the ten largest ex situ collections of our globe is located at the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) in Gatersleben, Germany, safeguarding about 150 000 accessions from 3 212 plant species and 776 genera comprising wild and primitive forms, landraces as well as old and more recent cultivars. Since the majority of genebank holdings globally are stored as seed, seed storabilit...

The GPA and the Report on the State of the World’s Plant Genetic Resources were prepared through a unique, country driven process. The process was guided by the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and culminated in the International Technical Conference at Leipzig (Germany), attended by 150 countries and over 50 non-governmental organizations. The Government of India is one amongst the seven Asian Countries (Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam) that have signed an agreement with Food & Agriculture of the United Nations to participate in the Regional Cooperative Project “Implementation of the Global Plan of Action for the Conservation & Sustainable Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources for Food & Agriculture (PGRFA) in Asia and the Pacific Region”. The project aims at promoting the implementation of the GPA and to contribute to establishing a continuing monitoring framework of the GPA implementation at national and regional levels and a mechanism for gathering and sharing information, as well as for priority setting for the GPA implementation. I am glad that the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), New Delhi is bringing out the final report of the FAO sponsored project “Establishment of the National Information Sharing Mechanism on the Implementation of the GPA for the Conservation and Sustainable Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA) in India” (GCP/RAS/186/JPN project) funded by Government of Japan for US$ 53,000. This project was assigned by Department of Agriculture and Co-operation to NBPGR, New Delhi through Indian Council of Agricultural Research during November 2004 for implementation. The NBPGR, New Delhi identified 114 stakeholders representing ICAR Institutes, State Agricultural Universities, State Departments of Agriculture, Nonv Governmental Organizations, Private Institutes. Concerted efforts have been made to gather relevant information from stakeholders related to PGRFA to establish a centralized information system. The present report is the culmination of these efforts. It brings out the process undertaken for the establishment of the National Information Sharing Mechanism on GPA Implementation and includes the analysis of the data gathered through this mechanism as the outcome of this project. NBPGR has also developed in collaboration with FAO staff a website (http:// www.nbpgr.ernet.in) on the National GPA Information Sharing Mechanism, describing its establishment and purpose, listing its participants/stakeholders and making accessible the information so far gathered. Using this website, one can have a fair idea of various activities related to plant genetic resources in India. I am sure that the information gathered under this project can be used for effective planning, management and identifying priority areas in the plant genetic resources activities in India. It would also help to eliminate replication of efforts of the various agencies involved in management of plant genetic resources in India. S.L. Bhat Joint Secretary (Seeds) vi FOREWORD The Global Plan of Action (GPA) represents an important contribution to the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity in the field of food and agriculture and it is one of the supporting elements to the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. Its main objectives are (i) to ensure the conservation of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) as a basis for food security, (ii) to promote sustainable utilization of PGRFA in order to foster development and to reduce hunger and poverty, (iii) to promote a fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the use of PGRFA, (iv) to assist countries and institutions responsible for conserving and using PGRFA to identify priorities for action, and (v) to strengthen national, regional and international programmes for the conservation and utilization of PGRFA, including education and training. The GPA provides a normative framework for 20 inter-related activites, which are organized into four groups: In situ Conservation and Development, Ex situ Conservation, Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources, and Institutions and Capacity Building. Furthermore, a catalyst for both priority-setting and creating synergies among ongoing activities for the conservation and sustainable utilization of PGRFA. The signatory countries are committed to implement the plan, whose overall progress in implementation is monitored through the FAO Commission on Genetic Resources (CGR). We are very pleased that India and the other six participating countries of the GCP/ RAS/186/JPN project are among the first countries to establish a National Information Sharing Mechanism on the Implementation of GPA (NISM-GPA). The Mechanism is based on the participation of stakeholders at national level and seeks to promote information exchange and strengthen stakeholder cooperation, thereby contributing to enhance the capacity of the national programmes for the conservation and sustainable utilization of plant genetic resources. The Mechanism uses a computer application that facilitates the documentation, management and analysis of the information addressed by a list of indicators and a related reporting format for monitoring the implementation of the GPA activities in the country. We recognize the excellent leadership played by the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), Indian Council of Agricultural Research, Ministry of Agriculture, in the whole process in establishing the NISM-GPA in India. The ability of NBPGR to bring together over one hundred stakeholders from around the country to discuss and share knowledge about the GPA, the purposes and the activities of the NISM-GPA and to commit stakeholders to collaborate in establishing the Mechanism was highly commendable. The many meetings and training workshops on the use of the computer application for gathering information, validation of data and the preparation and review of the draft report that were organized by the NBPGR requires tremendous efforts and time of its responsible staff members, particularly the authors of the report. The collaboration and time devoted to this work by the participating stakeholders and the support from the FAO and the GCP/RAS/186/JPN project are important vii factors contributing to the success in the establishment of the Mechanism. The guidance and advices provided by the members of the two National Coordination and Monitoring Committee of the GPA project played a very vital part in the achievement of the project. We are very pleased that a vast amount of very useful information on PGR activities throughout the country has been gathered and documented in the NISM-GPA database, which has now been made accessible to the public. We believe that the information and data presented in this well synthesized report and the available database will help in effective planning of projects and identifying priority areas in plant genetic resources in India. The establishment of the NISM-GPA would also enhance coordination and collaboration of activites and reduce duplication of efforts among the various agencies in India. The information will also be very useful for other countries and interested parties. Dr. N.

One of the main immediate objectives of this project is to establish a National Information Sharing Mechanism on the implementation of GPA (NISM-GPA) in each of the participating countries for enhancing coordination of plans and activities on conservation and sustainable utilization of PGRFA amongst stakeholders and for sharing information. The NISM-GPA databases put online (http://www.nbpgr.ernet.in) for sharing with the stakeholders and other interested parties are the culmination of hard work made during the past 18 months by the national focal point of the project and numerous national stakeholders in India, with some technical support from the FAO and the GCP/RAS/186/JPN project. The modest funding support provided by the GCP/RAS/186/JPN project and FAO was supplemented with actual and in kind contributions from the Government of India. It is a network of 114 public and private institutions which conserve and/or use plant genetic resources in India. Its objective is to share information related to Indian PGRFA and, in particular, to the implementation of the GPA. In the present report, the process of establishment of NISM-GPA in India, data analysis and reporting based on the data submitted by the stakeholders in the categories - state of diversity; state of in situ management; state of ex situ management; state of use; state of national programmes; training and legislation; state of regional and international collaboration; access to plant genetic resources and sharing of benefits arising out of their use, and farmers’ rights and the contribution of PGRFA management to food security and sustainable development have been discussed. ix ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The project on National Information Sharing Mechanism (NISM) on the Implementation of the Global Plan of Action (GPA) for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA) in India was carried out under the consistent guidance of Dr. Mangala Rai, Secretary, Department of Agriculture Research and Education (DARE), Goverment of India and Director General, Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and Dr. G.

The project aims to promote the implementation of the GPA and to contribute in establishing a monitoring framework of the GPA implementation at national and regional levels. In India, the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), New Delhi was identified by the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India as the lead center to implement the project. One of the immediate objectives of this project was to establish a National Information Sharing Mechanism on the implementation of GPA (NISM-GPA) in the country for enhancing coordination of plans and activities on conservation and sustainable utilization of PGRFA amongst stakeholders and for sharing information, as well as for priority setting for the GPA implementation. A network of 114 public and private institutions involved in conservation and/or use of plant genetic resource (PGR) in India has been developed. The NISM in the Monitoring of the Implementation of the GPA has been a very useful exercise in India. This project has helped in identifying the institutions involved in PGR related activities and the synthesis of all the PGR work in India. Perceiving the great threat to PGR, last three decades have witnessed deployment of large resources for ex situ conservation particularly in genebanks. The National Genebank at NBPGR currently holds more than 311,554 accessions of germplasm belonging to about 600 species. In addition, there are more than 50 National Active Germplasm Sites (NAGS) as integral part of national plant biodiversity conservation network. The NAGS conserve germplasm as active/working collections in modules maintained at 4-80C and 35-40% relative humidity, which are used in on-going research and crop improvement efforts. However, the wild relatives are poorly represented in most of the ex situ collections and priorities in the major food crops should be to collect mainly for gaps in collections with trait-specific and area-specific explorations; to collect the wild and weedy relatives of under-utilized crops and a number of native species that occur in the wild which are utilitized for medicinal purposes in the traditional health care systems. Though, it is encouraging that a large number of PGR have been assembled representing a broad range of diversity particularly in major food crops, only some of these have been used in the breeding programmes. A national effort by multi-disciplinary teams of scientists for the characterization (including molecular characterization), evaluation and pre-breeding programmes, using biotechnological tools, wherever required, would provide the required thrust for utilisation xv of conserved PGR. The PGR conservation is a long-term, resource-intensive commitment, but is imperative for sustainable development and for posterity. Inspite of commendable efforts in ex situ conservation, a serious lack of effort and institutional mandate is felt in the area of in situ management of PGR specially the crop species, wild food plants and wild related species. For PGR, due emphasis on in situ onfarm conservation of old varieties, traditional cultivars and landraces is required, as these are the storehouse of desirable traits such as drought tolerance, heat tolerance, disease resistance and sustainable yield. These are the potential resources for development of new improved varieties. Information generated under this project can be used for effective planning and identifying priority areas of research. It will also help to eliminate duplication in efforts of the various agencies. Gaps in PGR activities would be filled with certainty and not based on speculation. As part of awareness raising and strategic development, policy makers in the country would be supplied with vital information on PGR relevant to political debate and interested parties would be given appropriate advice. xvi REPORT ON NISM-GPA 1 PROJECT DETAILS Project period: November, 2004 to April, 2006 Total Budget for India: Rs. 26,00,000 ($53,000 USD).

GCP/RAS/186/ JPN). It aims to contribute towards enhanced world food security and socio-economic development, reduced poverty and more sustainable agricultural systems through conservation and sustainable use of PGRFA. Its immediate objectives are to (a) Promote the implementation of the twenty priority activities of the GPA for the conservation and sustainable utilization of PGRFA. (b) Contribute towards establishment of a continuing monitoring framework of the GPA implementation at national and regional level and a mechanism for gathering and sharing information, as well as setting priorities for GPA implementation: (i) thorough assessment of the present status of PGRFA in the country and the region for identification of needs and effective strategies for conservation and utilization of PGRFA. (ii) establishment of a national information sharing (clearing-house) mechanism on the GPA implementation (NISM-GPA) to enhance coordination of plans and activities on conservation and utilization of PGRFA amongst stakeholders and for achieving the objective (a). (iii) capacity building and training for National PGRFA Programmes. (iv) sharing of experiences in PGRFA in situ conservation, and on-farm management. (v) improvement of regional cooperation. Thus, the scope of this project covers genetic resources of all plant species with potential for food and agriculture, in situ management and development, ex situ conservation, utilization and institution and capacity building within the framework of the GPA. The project works with the national partners and collaborates with regional and international organizations, especially Biodiversity International and other Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research centres and networks in the region. 5 REPORT ON NISM-GPA Seven countries, namely, Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam participated in this project which was funded by the Government of Japan. Approach for Monitoring the Implementation of the GPA Activities under the GCP/RAS/186/JPN project commenced in June 2003. At that time, the FAO Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (CGRFA) was considering a new approach for monitoring the GPA implementation, which was being developed by FAO with inputs from Biodiversity International. This was in line with the recommendations made by the Inter-governmental Technical Working Group on PGRFA in 2001. The new approach envisaged a country-driven, participatory and capacity building process which culminated with the establishment of a NISM-GPA. NISM-GPA is based on a set of internationally agreed indicators and reporting format for monitoring the GPA implementation and an information system developed to facilitate and simplify recording, processing, analysis and sharing of the information addressed by the indicators and the reporting format. The indicators and the reporting format were developed in consultation with an expert group at a meeting convened by FAO and Biodiversity International in February 2002 (CGRFA-9/02/Inf.2). The new monitoring approach was tested in a pilot study in several countries during the later part of 2003 and early 2004. Based on the results from this study, some revisions or modifications were made in the Indicators and Reporting Format during an Evaluation Meeting on Pilot Testing in May 2004. The revised Indicators and Reporting Format were adopted by the Commission on its 10th Session in November 2004 (CGRFA-10/ 04/Inf.5). Since then, several revisions and updated versions of the computer application for the NISM have been released for use by the countries, the most recent being version 3.8. The FAO-GCP/RAS/186/JPN project took advantage of this development, adopted the new approach for monitoring GPA implementation and its components in order to assess the current status of PGRFA and identify gaps and priorities for carrying out further work in each participating country. The project contributed to the revision of the indicators and the development of the NISM-GPA computer application. Objectives of the GPA Monitoring Approach The main objectives of the new GPA monitoring approach, which culminated with the establishment of a National Information Sharing Mechanism on GPA implementation, were to: Improve countries’ capacity to manage information on PGRFA 6 REPORT ON NISM-GPA Increase visibility of on-going efforts, as well as access to the sharing of information about PGRFA at national, regional and global levels Promote understanding of status and dynamics of these resources Allow meaningful analysis of gaps and priorities Improve decision-making for planning of available resources Build stronger partnerships among stakeholders for management of PGRFA within each country Enhance countries’ capacities to meet international reporting commitments (e.g. GPA implementation, Second Report of the State of the World’s PGRFA, CGRFA, CBD) The process for applying the new monitoring approach and establishing NISM-GPA requires the involvement of a wide range of stakeholders of PGRFA. These would include different government departments and ministries, research and educational institutions, private sector, NGOs and international organizations in the country. Through this participatory process, all stakeholders were called to contribute in establishment of the Mechanism within their own information, experience and perspectives. Information that was gathered and compiled under the NISM provided a thorough assessment of the state of PGR in the country and for the identification of needs and priorities on PGR activities. Furthermore, the information gathered through the same processes in different countries in the region and around the world would allow a better analysis of the status of PGRFA on a regional and global scale, based on the need assessment of the countries involved. Thus, country-driven national, regional and global strategies for in situ conservation and development, ex-situ conservation, utilization and institution and capacity building could be properly addressed and developed1. These processes would also contribute in enhanced cooperation and collaboration among nations, regional networks and international organizations in effective implementation of the GPA. Expected outputs of the project on establishing NISM-GPA As a result of the application of the new monitoring approach and the establishment of the NISM-GPA, two reports have been produced and a dataset made available. 1. A synthesis report on the process for establishing the NISM-GPA, pertaining to the involvement of stakeholders, data collection and sharing, results on the analysis of data collected, success and failure if any, and lessons learned from 1 AG:GCP/RAS/186/JPN Field Document no.2004/01. N. Quat Ng. 2004. FAO Project on Strengthening National Capacity for the Implementation of the GPA in Asia and the Pacific. 7 REPORT ON NISM-GPA the process including recommendations for further improvement on the process and the computer application if any and plan for its future maintenance. 2. A country report on the state of PGRFA2, based on the analysis of data gathered through the application of the new monitoring approach, including identification of needs and priorities for further work to fully implement the GPA in the country has been prepared. 3. A data set on the GPA implementation has been made available for access by the public through the Internet and/or CDs. ROLE OF THE NATIONAL FOCAL POINT AND STAKEHOLDERS National Focal Point In India the National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resource, New Delhi, has been appointed as the National Focal Point by Govt. of India to carry out following responsibilities To prepare reports on the GPA implementation for submission to the FAO-GCP/ RAS/186/JPN project and CGRFA To coordinate and facilitate in-country activities of information exchange and presenting reports at national, regional and international fora To initiate, organize and direct the involvement of stakeholders To revise and complete the Common Tables in the Computer Application, to be used as a reference information by stakeholders to facilitate data entry To organize the in-country stakeholders’ meetings 2 The Tenth Regular Session of the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture held at the FAO headquarters in Rome, 8 – 12 November 2004 adopted the FAO Guidelines for preparation of the second report on the state of the world’s PGRFA as well as the new approach for monitoring the GPA implementation. It was stressed by the Commission in its previous Session that the preparatory process for the second Report is to be fully integrated with the process of the new approach of monitoring the implementation of the GPA. Guidelines for country reports (CGRFA-10/04/Inf.8) for the preparation of the second report on the state of the world’s PGRFA were prepared by FAO, at the request of the Commission and its Working Group on Plant Genetic Resources. To ensure integration of the preparation of the country report and the process for monitoring the GPA, the questions and tables contained in the Indicators and Reporting Format (CGRFA-10/04/Inf.5) are cross-referenced under each of the relevant chapters of the country report. The Commission adopted the guidelines for member countries for the preparation of their report for the second state of the world’s PGRFA. The project meeting held in Chiang Mai in February 2005 agreed to adopt the FAO guidelines as closely as possible for the preparation of the country report on the status of (or state of) the implementation of the GPA, including the needs and priority for the future. The project member countries shall also prepare a synthesis report on the process for establishing the NISM-GPA, as detailed in point 1 above. 8 REPORT ON NISM-GPA To train, assist and guide the stakeholders in the participatory data sharing process To compile the information received from the stakeholders National Stakeholders Stakeholders3 were an essential component of the NISM-GPA. They contributed towards: Expanding the knowledge based on the conservation and utilization of PGRFA Improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the information gathering process Generating support from institutions and political groups, and the public opinion in general Ensuring real ownership in the establishment and evolution of the NISM-GPA building awareness in the country 3 Stakeholders are institutions, organizations or individuals that, either directly or indirectly, participate in implementation of the National Programme on PGRFA. Stakeholders include governments, ministries of agriculture and of the environment, gene banks, breeders and breeders’ associations, seed producers, research and training institutions, rural associations, civil society organizations involved with and related to the conservation and utilization of PGRFA, and focal points of international conventions such as the Convention on Biological Diversity. 9 REPORT ON NISM-GPA 4 THE PROCESS A. BACKGROUND The process for the establishment of the NISM began in 2004 through a Letter of Agreement (Annexure XVI) signed between Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, Government of India and the FAO. All activities foreseen under this Agreement have been coordinated by the NBPGR. These can be grouped into three distinct phases: a preparatory phase, an implementation phase and a reporting phase. During the preparatory phase, work focused on reviewing all materials, briefing and raising awareness among authorities and getting necessary permissions to undertake a collaborative information sharing process that includes the national PGR programme, the private sector, civil society organizations and other public sector organizations. A committee of key stakeholders was formed to guide the GPA monitoring process, and identify stakeholders to be involved in the preparation of country report. The implementation phase involved a number of stakeholders’ meetings and workshops to explain the process, train stakeholders in the use of the computer application for gathering information and discuss the results achieved. Direct technical assistance to stakeholders was also provided during this phase. During the reporting phase, data gathered by stakeholders was analyzed and two reports were drafted and discussed with participating stakeholders. A website describing the mechanism, which included a database search engine for the NISM-GPA database was developed, using the web page installer and a customized web page sample provided by the FAO GCP/RAS/186/JPN project. The information is made publicly available and is accessible through the URL: http://www.nbpgr.ernet.in. A brief description of the meetings and decisions taken during the establishment process of the NISM, as well as a summary of the outcome and future plans are provided in the following sections. 10 REPORT ON NISM-GPA B.

In situ conservation and development II. Ex situ conservation III. Utilization of plant genetic resources IV. Institutions and capacity building *The KEY is used by application to recognize the user and to customized the interface to the language of her/his own country. The KEY is a long string, and in order to avoid typing it manually, NFPs should receive and distribute the KEY to stakeholder in a floppy disk, so the user can simply cut and paste the KEY into the text box when requested. 16 REPORT ON NISM-GPA All the stakeholders were given one-month time after attending the Training Workshop to submit the data. (d) Second Workshop Meetings (November 2005) The second round of meetings were devoted to data validation and review of the draft report on monitoring the implementation of the NISM. (1) NBPGR Regional Station, Hyderabad (2) NBPGR Regional Station, Thrissur (3) NBPGR, New Delhi During these meetings, the data submitted by the stakeholders was reviewed with individual stakeholder. Corrections and suggestions were incorporated in the NISM database after thorough discussion with all the stakeholders. The draft report on the NISM was also discussed in detail and suggestions incorporated accordingly. A total of 72 stakeholders participated in these meetings (Annexure VIII). The CTA of the project, Dr. Ng Quat also attended one of these meeting at New Delhi and provided valuable comments and suggestions. Participants of the Second Regional Training Workshop organized at NBPGR, New Delhi (23-24 November 2005) 17 REPORT ON NISM-GPA III Reporting Phase (a) Second Meeting of the National Advisory Committee (March 2006) A meeting of the National Advisory Committee under the Chairmanship of Dr. G. Kalloo, Deputy Director General (Crop Sciences and Horticulture), ICAR was held on 29 March 2006 at NBPGR to review the draft report prepared by NBPGR in consultation with the stakeholders, review the data gathered under NISM and launch the NISM website (list of participants is given in Annexure IX). Dr. A.K. Singh, Director NBPGR and Member Secretary, National Advisory Committee gave a brief account of the developments in the process of implementation of NISM in India. The draft NISM report was presented in two parts. Dr. R.C. Agrawal presented the details of the process of establishment of NISM and the trainings organized for demonstration of the computer application software developed by FAO and also on data validation and merging. A total of 114 stakeholders were trained during the current phase of the project and data were received from 91 stakeholders, which had been compiled and merged by national focal point (NBPGR). The second part on analysis of the data in the FAO format was presented by Dr. Pratibha Brahmi. Critical suggestions and comments were made during the meeting by members which have been incorporated in the present report. Dr. G. Kalloo, DDG (CS &H) and other members, of the National Advisory Committee during the review held on (29 March 2006) 18 REPORT ON NISM-GPA (b) Launching of the NISM Website Dr. R.C. Agrawal demonstrated the website developed for GPA including the data collected during the project. Dr. G. Kalloo, Chairman of the committee requested Dr M. Mahadevappa, distinguished member of the Committee and Former Chairman, Agricultural Scientist Recruitment Board, to formally launch the website (http://www.nbpgr.ernet.in). Dr M. Mahadevappa, distinguished member of the National Advisory Committee and Former Chairman, Agricultural Scientist Recruitment Board launching the NISM Website (http://www.nbpgr.ernet.in) FUTURE PLAN FOR CONTINUATION OF NISM Following activities were agreed upon during the workshops to be carried out for the implementation of National Information Sharing Mechanism at a faster pace. The Indian Government would be requested to make financial commitment to the Information Sharing Mechanism on PGRFA in its budget. The National Mechanism on GPA implementation should in future involve a larger number of stakeholders including State Departments of Agriculture, NGO’s, Community Based Organizations (CBOs), etc. The GPA Monitoring and Co-ordination committee should hold periodic meetings to review the progress of NISM and suggest further action in this regard. 19 REPORT ON NISM-GPA National Focal Point should package the information gathered for targetted groups to suit their interests. Communication channels and networks should be actively maintained to transmit results from the pilot testing project to politicians, decision makers, policy makers, resource users and their service organizations. Formalize the Information Sharing Mechanism in all stakeholder institutions to facilitate information release and exchange on PGRFA. Participants of the ‘Training Workshop’ should train other colleagues in the use of the NISM-GPA Computer Application with the active support of the National Focal Point. Nodal Officers should report to the Directors/Heads of their organizations about the process of establishing the National Information-Sharing Mechanism on the implementation of the GPA for PGRFA and provide regular updates to the National Focal Point. All efforts should be made to integrate all PGRFA activities in the framework of a unified national programme in a project mode. Public awareness should be promoted as much as possible in all PGRFA activities to target audiences and partners through appropriate channels in the country. RESOURCES REQUIRED FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF NISM A high capacity computer server with high capacity dedicated link should be either assigned to NBPGR or should be rented for hosting the NISM database and web site. Separate computers with accessories and internet connections should be provided to all the Nodal Officers so that they can regularly update the information related to NISM and send it to the National Co-coordinator. CONCLUSIONS The NISM on Implementation of the GPA has been very useful in bringing all the institutes involved in PGR related activities to a common platform, thereby generating comprehensive information on PGR work in India. The information gathered could be used for effective planning of projects and for identifying priority areas. It would also help to eliminate duplication in efforts of the various agencies. Gaps identified in PGRFA activities are based on actual data and not on speculation. As part of awareness raising and strategic development, policy makers in the country would be supplied with vital information on PGRFA. This would help to promote coherence and collaboration of work between different sectors, like, environment and agriculture. As much as possible the implementation of the NISM should be strongly linked with other areas of national policy. 20 REPORT ON NISM-GPA 5 AL YSIS AND REPOR TING DATA AN ANAL ALY REPORTING Two workshops were held with the national stakeholders which played a crucial role in the GPA monitoring process. The first workshop attended by major stakeholder organisations focused on commitment building and planning. The second workshop was attended by nodal officers from each participating stakeholder for information sharing and discussion of the draft country report. The main objective of the second workshop was to discuss and agree upon follow-up activities to be taken. The overall strategy included a final briefing of national officials to present findings, gain understanding and commitment for follow-up actions. The indicators included in this report are a core set that each country is required to report and a complementary set that each country can use with its discretion. A total of 114 stakeholders were registered for NISM and the data has been received from 91 stakeholers (Annexure III). Following main groups of stakeholders (Table 1) have been involved in the compilation and supply of information on the different GPA activity areas.

This information served to detail and substantiate answers provided by stakeholders and the National Focal Point in the reporting format. In particular, information related to organisations, projects, taxon, cultivars, references and regulations related to PGRFA in the country was recorded under these nine “common tables”. To complete/ update them, data from existing sources to the extent possible, such as previous country reports, web sites and NBPGR database were initially used. Gaps in the information were discussed and sorted out in consultation with the stakeholders. At present, the nine “common tables” under the NISM represent the most complete inventory of PGRFA related organisations, projects, taxon, cultivars, references and regulations in the country. The total number of entries recorded under the common tables is reported in Table 2. Table 2: Entries in the Common Tables of the National Information Sharing Mechanism (2005) Name and Description of the Common Table 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Entries ORGANIZATIONS table’ (instab) contains contact information on institutes, organizations and networks, as well as departments or subordinate structures within them. The field ‘parent organization’ is used to build hierarchies among the table entries. The ‘CONTACT PERSONS table’ (pertab) contains contact information on persons, including phone and email address. Persons are usually associated with organizations in the organization table, where the mail address is stored. The ‘PROJECTS table’ (protab) collects data on programmes, projects, activities, plans, courses, etc. A flag field indicates the context and serves for analysis and filtering entries that belong to different priority activity areas. The ‘TAXA table’ (taxtab) contains data on scientific plant names and authorities. The ‘CULTIVARS table’ (cultab) contains data on cultivated varieties, their pedigree and origin. The ‘AREAS table’ (aretab) is used to store data on geographical areas within countries. There is no attempt to complete the description of the area - the only required field is the area name. If longitudes and latitudes are entered they should refer to a central point within the area, which can be used to plot areas on a map. The area size field is useful for the same purpose, but is not required. It is possible to enter whole countries or even larger geographic areas into the area table, but no attempt is made to build hierarchies between such areas. The ‘INFOSYS table’ (systab) contains data on information system software used to store, manage and analyze PGRFA data. The ‘REFERENCES table’ (reftab) is used to collect data on references. The structure follows the BibTex standard in order to allow easier processing with existing BibTex tools, e.g. to produce lists of references in standard format. A reference can be an electronic document, such as a website on the Internet. The ‘AGREEMENTS table’ (agrtab) contains data on bilateral or multilateral agreements. 1,671 1,618 1,171 75,798 5,219 692 34 4,726 47 The ’PROJECTS’ table’ (protab) which contains the data on programmes, projects, activities, plans, courses, etc., has a total entry of 1,171 projects.

This was essential as different stakeholders may have perceived the indicators in their own way and the input thus received would be inconsistent and difficult for final interpretation. Therefore, a common approach to gather the information was adopted and conveyed to the various stakeholders during the first national workshop. In the following chapters, an analysis of the data gathered under NISM is presented in the format of Second Report of the State of the World’s Plant Genetic Resources. 24 REPORT ON NISM-GPA 6 ST ATE OF DIVERSITY STA A. THE MAIN VALUE OF PLANT GENETIC RESOURCES Important Crops and their Products The Indian subcontinent is very rich in biological diversity, harbouring around 49,000 species of plants, including about 18,000 species of higher plants. The Indian gene centre holds a prominent position among the 12 mega gene centres of the world. It is also one of the Vavilovian centres of origin and diversity of crop plants. Two out of the 25 global hotspots of biodiversity, namely the Indo-Burma and Western Ghats/Sri Lanka, occur here4. It possesses 11.9% of world flora with 5,725 endemic species of higher plants belonging to about 141 endemic genera and over 47 families. About 166 species of crops including 25 major and minor crops have originated and/or developed diversity in this part of the world5. The major crops of Indian origin are rice, pigeon pea, sesame, brinjal, okra, mango, wheat, barley (regional centre of diversity), cucumber, citrus, sugarcane, urdbean, mungbean, mothbean, spices like black pepper, greater cardamom, ginger, green cardamom, etc. The country is also a secondary centre of diversity for crops like sorghum, pearl-millet, cowpea, maize, chilli, tomato, amaranth and pumpkin. Other important crops grown in India include onion, sugarcane, groundnut, rapeseed-mustard, soybean, tea, coffee, sunflower and among horticultural crops banana, citrus, grapes, cashew and vegetables of European origin (Table 4). Further, 320 species of wild relatives of crop plants are also known to occur here6. The indigenous plant wealth has been supplemented by introduction of species and forms that have greatly enriched the local flora. These introduced species also diversified in India due to isolation over time and space, diversity in climate and human intervention. The geographical proximity with the Indo-Chinese-Indonesian, the Chinese-Japanese, the Central and West Asian centres of diversity has helped in considerably augmenting 4 Myers, N., R.A.

The area, production and yield of major groups of crops are indicated in Table 6 showing relative importance of different crops. B. DIVERSITY WITHIN AND BETWEEN CROPS Diversity of Major Crops The diversity in genetic resources and their wild relatives is distributed in different agro-ecological regions of the country. The number of species in wild relatives of crop plants in these regions are: 125 in warm humid tropical/ sub-tropical western Himalayas, 132 in north-eastern region, 82 in eastern Himalayas, 66 in Gangetic plains, 45 in western/ Sutlej plains, 145 in western peninsular region/ Malabar and 91 in eastern peninsular region/ Deccan Plateau. The wild and weedy relatives of cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) extensively distributed in India include, O. nivara, O. rufipogon, O. officinalis , O. malampuzhaensis and Porteresia coarctata. Among the major food crops, India harbours great diversity in rice. The foothills of Himalayas, Chattisgarh and Jeypore tract of Orissa are the regions harbouring maximum diversity. The wild relatives based on economic importance in different agricultural and horticultural crops are 51 in cereals and millets, 31 in legumes, 27 Table 6: Quantity and Value of Export of Principal Agricultural Commodities (Quantity in 000’ t and value in million Rs.)

Diversity in major cereal crops like wheat, pearl millet, sorghum is decreasing at local level, although rice diversity at local level appears to have sustained owing to food preferences and social security of the farmers growing rice. Diversity of Minor Crops and Underutilized Species There is an increasing focus on exploring opportunities to tap the potential of minor and underutilized species to meet the demand of an ever-increasing population. Pseudocereals like amaranth, buckwheat and chenopods are rich sources of protein and amino acids. Minor millets like ragi, foxtail millet and barnyard millet have high minerals and vitamins. Thus, the role of underutilized species in enlarging the base of food and nutritional security has now become a global issue. In India and other developing countries which are diversity rich and hold enormous indigenous knowledge, research and development in underutilized species is gaining momentum because of their adaptability to local agro-ecosystems, farming systems and degraded and marginal lands. Also, local crops have high genetic diversity, low pest-risk, multi-purpose uses and scope for value addition. Moreover, they are well-tuned to native/traditional farming practices with low inputs and provide food and nutritional security to rural communities. Minor millets and coarse grains like amaranth, buckwheat and chenopods have considerable diversity in northern hills. These areas are also rich in minor fruits. Diversity of Wild Edible Plants The ethnic and cultural diversity of the country has also contributed to richness of plant genetic diversity. There are over 427 tribal communities which is 9.74 % of the total population, comprising 227 ethnic groups, spread over 5,000 forest villages. These tribal communities and ethnic tribes use 1,532 wild edible plant species, including 145 of roots and tubers, 521 leafy green vegetables, 101 bulbs and flowers, 647 fruits and 118 seeds and nuts2. The wild relative species strength in other genera are, 15 in Cajanus, one in Cicer, three in Sesamum, 10 in Vigna, 32 in Solanum, three in Mangifera, and 50 in Piper. Diversity of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants There are about 7,500 species of medicinal and aromatic plants mainly in humid regions distributed in the tropical and temperate forests of the Indian sub-continent. These are still largely used in traditional indigenous systems of medicine and are gathered from the wild relatives. The important ones, for example, are Rauvolfia serpentina, Ocimum spp., Cymbopogon spp., Emblica officinalis, Swertia chirayta, Podophyllum hexandrum, Nardostachys jatamansi, etc. 8 Arora R.K. and E.R. Nayar. 1984. Wild relatives of crop plants in India. Sci. Monograph 8National Bureau of Plant Gentic Resources, New Delhi, India. 29 REPORT ON NISM-GPA Nearly 5,000 species have been found useful and these include both wild and cultivated plants. Under the All India Coordinated Research Project on Ethnobiology about 8,900 species used by tribal communities have been recorded of which 3,900 are used for food. The wild edible plants of India, enumerated include over 1,000 species of which various plant parts being used are given below9: i. Roots and tubers: 145 species of which 33 are cultivated and/ or maintained by native communities in home gardens/ backyards. ii. Leafy vegetables: 521 species of which 72 are domesticated/ semi-domesticated. iii. Flowers and buds: 101 species of which 15 are cultivated and others occur in backyards. iv. Fruits: 647 species of which 107 are cultivated and some are only grown as homestead cultigens. v. Seeds and nuts: 118 species of which 25 are cultivated and/ or occur in backyards. About 120 species constitute the domesticated/ semi-domesticated native diversity. In addition, it is also observed that inventories and surveys of wild plants for food production and of crop-associated biodiversity are being undertaken. There is a recognizable genetic vulnerability resulting from loss of diversity grown by farmers in the country. The number of modern varieties used is increasing and the number of landraces/ farmers’ varieties being used is decreasing. C. RELATIVE IMPORTANCE (FOOD SECURITY, ECONOMIC, SOCIAL) OF DIFFERENT CROPS AND THEIR PRODUCTS The relative importance of various crops is changing significantly over the past ten years. Oil seed crops like soybean, sunflower and groundnut have gained more acreage during these years leading to decrease in cultivation of other crops of local importance because of the economic and policy changes. Land surveys and inventories, environmental impact assessments, gene bank monitoring, monitoring of reports of land use changes are some of the important measures in this regard. Factors responsible for Genetic Erosion in India Variety replacement Economic pressures Overexploitation-overgrazing; land clearing and deforestation Urbanization and human population growth 9 Arora R.K. and Pandey A, 1996.

FUTURE NEEDS AND PRIORITIES Agricultural ecosystems that harbour diversity of PGRFA are more in a state of flux, as compared to other natural ecosystems, since cropping patterns can change every season. Thus, there is a great need to assess the state of PGRFA diversity at regular intervals to record changes, if any in species as well as genetic erosion. This needs to be done at three levels: 1) Loss of diversity in farming systems using continued analysis of land use patterns. 2) Assessment of loss of crop diversity within a crop species through genetic diversity analysis. 3) Assessment of loss of diversity of wild and weedy relatives at in situ level. The data provided by stakeholders indicated that regular survey and update is required to assess status of PGRFA with reference to number of crops cultivated in an area and number of varieties of each crop being cultivated in that area. Similar situation is seen in relation to diversity available in situ. There is a need for further research in this area and regular updation programmes in relation to distribution of wild relatives and assessment of genetic erosion. Despite the fact that a lot of survey and inventorization of PGRFA has been done over the years under various programmes at NBPGR, it’s regional stations and project on plant biodiversity (under the National Agricultural Technology Project)* there is a need to collect more information from unexplored areas as well as areas explored more than 20 years back. Such surveys should use modern tools such as GIS for mapping PGRFA. To better understand the roles and values of the diversity of PGRFA, emphasis should be given on the food and cultural habits of the tribal communities of the country which are highly dependent on local diversity for their survival. Genetic erosion needs to be globally monitored through networking systems based on regular sampling of varieties and their data analysis against a time line using statistical and molecular tools. International linkages, project formulation and sufficient funding for such activities need to be explored. Training on the study of genetic erosion needs to be given to at least one plant breeder from each crop based Institute/Agricultural University and such training is also required in developing and using early warning systems for controlling genetic erosion. *The National Agricultural Technology Project (1997-2004) funded by the World Bank and implemented by Indian Council of Agricultural Research 31 REPORT ON NISM-GPA 7 AGEMENT STA MANA ST ATE OF IN SITU MAN In situ conservation of PGR forms an integral part of the biodiversity conservation programmes in India. The programme of biosphere reserves was initiated under the ‘Man and Biosphere’ (MAB) Programme by UNESCO in 1971. The purpose of formation of biosphere reserves was to conserve in situ all forms of life, alongwith its support system so that it could serve as a system for monitoring and evaluating changes in natural ecosystems. Establishment of forest area reserves, national parks and protected areas is being promoted to facilitate in situ conservation. The Biosphere Reserves Programme was launched by the MoEF, with the objective of identifying representative ecosystem which are still in pristine condition and to strengthen the conservation efforts keeping in view the livelihood needs of the people. Consequently, 13 biosphere reserves have been designated (Table 7) of which three namely, Nilgiris, Sunderbans and Gulf of Mannar are included in the World Network of Biosphere Reserves (MoEF, 200410). Under the UN World Heritage Convention, five protected areas have been designated World Heritage Sites; and consequent to the country becoming a party to the Ramsar Convention, six wetlands (Chilka Lake, Keoladeo Ghana National Park, Wular Lake, Harike Lake, Sambhar Lake, Loktak Lake) have been designated as Ramsar sites for conserving the ecological characteristics. In addition, there are 92 National Parks and 500 wildlife sanctuaries in the country covering an area of 15.67 million ha (MoEF, 2004). Further, adopting a participatory approach Joint Forest Management programmes, integrating the ecological and socio-economic parameters for sustainable conservation of ecosystems have been undertaken. Under the programme, the local communities and the state governments have defined roles and responsibilities with regard to forest protection and development. While ensuring forest conservation the local communities are provided with alternative sources of livelihoods and assured access to forest and related produce. Twenty eight states have adopted this programme which involves 8.4 million families that manage around 17.33 million ha forests land. The establishment of sanctuaries in Tura range in Garo Hills of Meghalaya for conservation of rich native diversity of wild Citrus and Musa species, and for Rhododendron and orchids in Sikkim are the examples of in situ conservation of economically important species.

Some of the important findings related to inventories and surveys are listed below: The survey and inventorization activities have been included in the draft national biodiversity action plan, including training needs in survey and inventorization of PGRFA in the country. The adequacy of Indian efforts to survey and inventorize PGRFA in the country are reflected in the on-going plans for the PGRFA in all priority activity areas of the country. The main constraints indicated in survey and inventorization of PGRFA in the country are lack of focused and co-ordinated approach by the concerned organizations, insufficient financial support and need for strengthening skills of technical staff. The organizations which have reported in situ conservation activities are doing these in isolation. 11 Rao, K C, B L Geetha and Geetha Suresh (2003).

Botanical Survey of India, ENVIS Centre for Floral Diversity, Howrah, West Bengal, India. 144 p. 34 REPORT ON NISM-GPA For promotion of conservation of crop wild relatives and wild plants relevant to food production, programmes have been developed and reasonable progress has been recorded. Despite a strong national policy support for the conservation of crop wild relatives, they are not usually focussed in Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs). For development of effective conservation strategies, there is a need for prioritizing collection of threatened landraces and species. This requires selection of both, the area and the species. There is a constraint of trained manpower and lack of effective conservation facilities including infrastructure. B. ON-FARM MANAGEMENT AND IMPROVEMENT OF PGRFA The NBPGR-NATP Mission Mode Project (2000-05) on household food and nutritional security focussed on tribal areas and local communities in 10 states of India. The project emphasized on identification of life support crop species, horticultural species and vegetable gardening, domestic animal species and fisheries in these areas. The thrust was on value addition of the local germplasm and also impact assessment after completion of the first phase of activities. An over all increase in household income, availability of food and nutrition was assessed in all the areas adopted under the project. The MS Swaminathan Research Foundation, Chennai (NGO), has successfully applied bottom-up efforts to conserve local agro-biodiversity by linking the livelihood security of villagers with the wider ecological security of the region. It has established effective community agro-biodiversity conservation and management programmes aimed at integrated village development in tribal groups particularly in the Jeypore tract of Orissa. The tribal communities of Tola, Baliguda, Patraput, Kashiguda, Nuaguda and Mohuli villages are involved in participatory plant breeding and the compilation of community biodiversity registers, which have been combined with the development of community seed and grain banks. The initiative has resulted in the revitalisation of on-farm conservation traditions and livelihood systems (MSSRF, 200512). In situ on-farm conservation of paddy in Bastar area of Chattisgarh by NBPGR; Indira Gandhi Agricultural University, Raipur and International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) is another interesting activity. Over 60 landraces of rice have been genetically identified out of over 300 collected from Orissa. Molecular diversity studies in some minor millets from the tribal-tracts of Orissa is also being undertaken. Preliminary studies have been undertaken for management of plant diversity in traditional ecosystems of western Himalayas in Uttaranchal state13.

Genetic Resources and Crop Evolution (In Press) 35 REPORT ON NISM-GPA intra species level was assessed mainly in rice, french bean, amaranth, buckwheat and barnyard millet. Factors for change in crop composition and farming systems during the recent past were studied, with farmer management of rice landraces, in detail. Various benefit enhancing options for farmers from local crop diversity were identified based on farmers perception and priorities for efficient management of local crop diversity onfarm and its sustainable utilization for agricultural production. The level of integration into national programme(s) has been reported to be low and the level of priority of on-farm management on PGRFA within national programmes is reported to be medium. The major limitation for on-farm management and improvement of PGRFA in the country are inadequate incentives to the farmers and not a national priority. The other limitations reported are insufficient seed/planting material, number of staff, skills and staff training and financial support (Figure 1). Fig 1. Major Limitations to On-farm Management and Improvement of PGRFA in the Country The incentives used to promote on-farm management of PGRFA in the country is only in the form of supportive research. 36 REPORT ON NISM-GPA The frequency of activities carried out in the country to promote on-farm management and improvement of PGRFA in the following areas is considered to be occasional. Community-based research Participatory plant breeding Participatory cultivar selection Processing and packaging Market development Strengthening local seed supply Diversity fairs and seed exchange Increasing public awareness Fourteen stakeholders are working on crop wild relatives and wild plants. Four programmes and 11 activities developed for conservation of crop wild relatives and wild plants for food and agriculture, have reported significant progress in 16 crop species14. Four programmes are in place to support community-based management of crop wild relatives and wild plants15 in non-protected areas. An Act to regulate conservation of biological diversity, sustainable use of its components and fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising out of the use of biological resources, along with associated knowledge has been recently passed by Indian Government (The Biological Diversity Act 2002 and Rules 2004). C. RESTORATION OF AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS FOLLOWING DISASTERS The greatest constraint recognized for restoration of disaster-struck agriculture systems is the absence of collecting, inventorying and conservation activities in these areas, prior to the advent of disaster (Figure 2). There is a mechanism within the country to facilitate rapid acquisition, multiplication, distribution and cultivation of germplasm, following natural disasters. This includes the assessment of the farmers needs. The information on the local seed supply system is adequate to identify and facilitate germplasm reintroduction. However, there is a great need for strengthening adequate linkages with information systems (including indigenous knowledge) for appropriate tracking of germplasm required for restoration. 14 Abelmoschus moschatus, Acorus calamus, Andrographis paniculata, Costus speciosus, Cucumis sp., Datura metel, Gossypium sp., Maranta arundinacea, Mentha arvensis, Oryza nivara, Oryza rufipogon, Piper longum, Polianthes tuberose, Rauvolfia serpentine, Solanum nigrum, Solanum sp. 15 Acorus calamus, Andrographis paniculata, Azadirachta indica, Costus speciosus, Datura metel, Maranta arundinacea, Mentha arvensis, Piper longum, Polianthes tuberosa, Rauvolfia serpentina, Solanum nigrum. 37 REPORT ON NISM-GPA Fig 2. Constraints in Restoration of Locally Adapted Germplasm following Disasters D. IN SITU CONSERVATION OF WILD CROP RELATIVES AND WILD PLANTS FOR FOOD PRODUCTION Several civil society organizations in association with national and international agencies are engaged in situ conservation of targetted species. For example, Foundation for Revitalisation of Local Health Traditions in collaboration with the State Forest Departments of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, with the support of Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA) and United Nation Development Programme (UNDP) have established 54 forest gene bank sites called Medicinal Plant Conservation Areas (MPCA). The network of 54 MPCAs, measuring 200 ha to 500 ha each, has been established gradually since 1993 and represents all forest types with large bio-climatic and soil regime variation. These gene banks harbour 45% of recorded populations of flowering and medicinal plants of Peninsular India, including 70% of those listed in red-data book. The intra-specific diversity that is observed in the MPCA network can be used to provide authenticated quality planting material for commercial cultivation to meet rising demands of the herbal industry. The MPCAs also constitute ‘study sites’ for threatened species recovery research, and have proved crucial in capacity building of forestry staff, local communities and researchers in the conservation of medicinal plants for sustainable use and equitable benefit sharing. 38 REPORT ON NISM-GPA Further, efforts have been made for documentation and protection of indigenous technical knowledge and the germplasm of the local landraces/farmers’ varieties, particularly in the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan, by the Society for Research Initiatives for Sustainable Technologies and Institutions, Ahmedabad and National Innovation Foundation, Ahmedabad. Programmes for biodiversity conservation associated with livelihood approach have also been undertaken by Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment, particularly in Western Ghats.

FUTURE NEEDS AND PRIORITIES For promotion of in situ conservation of crop wild relatives and wild food plants, there is a need to validate information about the usage of wild species for food or other purposes. This can be achieved through participation of communities and promotion of village level gardens of local diversity. 39 REPORT ON NISM-GPA Considering the size of the country, the number of crops cultivated and the amount of genetic diversity available in different crops, the on-farm conservation efforts have been very limited. Therefore, for promotion of on-farm management and improvement of PGRFA, there is a need for policy support at national level. As this strategy of conservation is resource demanding and would involve a number of stakeholders, it would need development of appropriate methodologies and modalities for sustainable adoption. It can be achieved through a networking of existing infrastructure by involving farmers, local bodies, government and non-government agencies including those involved in value addition and market research. This strategy can only work if corresponding benefits are ensured to the farmers/communities of the country. To take advantage of the changing agriculture scenario, in case of PGRFA, the emphasis should be on in situ on-farm conservation to evolve the genetic diversity responding to changing environment. In this regard, the scope of home gardens needs to be extended to medicinal food and nutritional supplements at village level to ensure nutritional security, health and improved income to the farmers. 40 REPORT ON NISM-GPA 8 AGEMENT ST ATE OF EX SITU MAN STA MANA Perceiving the great threat to PGR, the last three decades have witnessed deployment of large resources for ex situ conservation, particularly in genebanks. The Indian National Genebank presently holds more than 3,00,000 accessions of germplasm belonging to about 600 species. In addition, there are more than 50 National Active Germplasm Sites (NAGS) as integral part of national plant diversity conservation network. The NAGS conserve germplasm as active/ working collections in modules maintained at 4-80C and 35-40 per cent relative humidity. These collections are used in on-going research and crop improvement efforts. Though, it is encouraging that a large number of PGR have been assembled representing a broad range of diversity, particularly in major food crops, only limited number of these have been used in the breeding programmes. A. SUSTAINING AND EXPANDING EX SITU COLLECTIONS National Genebank at NBPGR is Table 10: Ex-situ Conversation strategies being used in India established for long-term conservation of Organisations with plant germplasm. About 1,45,000 Type of Storage16 Facilities (no.) accessions have been added in long term collections since 1996.

More than 60% of the accessions are stored in the long-term/medium term storage (Table 11). Monitoring of viability, genetic integrity and stock inventorization is performed regularly by most of the stakeholders (Table 12). 16 Please see Annexure XIII for list of stakeholders having various types of storage facilities and list of species being maintained under field genebank 41 REPORT ON NISM-GPA Table 11: Status of Conservation in Various Types of Storage Table 12: Status of Monitoring of Viability, Genetic Integrity and Stock Inventories Type of Storage Type of Frequency Accessions (no.) % age Stakeholders (no.)

About 60% publications contain analyzed data, whereas 34% publications have raw data. The details as reported by different stakeholders are given in Table 13. Major constraint as reported by most stakeholders is insufficient staff to implement ex situ conservation activities (Figure 3). Lack of adequate facilities and funding is reported Fig 3. Major Constraints to Implementing ex-situ Conservation Activities 42 REPORT ON NISM-GPA Fig 4. Organization's Capacity for Research on Improved Methodologies for Ex-situ Conservation Fig 5. Frequecy of Monitoring Viability, Genetic Integrity and Stock Inventories as another major constraint. Only few stakeholders have reported a lack of focused approach as a constraint to ex situ conservation. Suitable regeneration environment, adequate population size and proper handling of regenerated material have been reported by about 65% of the stakeholders as the reason for better management practices to reduce genetic changes or loss of genetic integrity (Table 14).

PLANNED AND TARGETED COLLECTION Planned and targeted collection of PGRFA has been reported by 38 stakeholders. The number of accessions collected, districts explored and accessions stored in the long-term storage are indicated in the Table 15. Major gaps in collection are underexplored/unexplored areas and incomplete coverage of the targeted taxa (Table 16 and Figure 6). The basis used for these inferences is given in the Table 17. 43 REPORT ON NISM-GPA Table 15: Details of Collection Missions undertaken Table 16: Gaps Detected in Supporting Planned for Targeted Collection of PGRFA and Targeted Collection of PGRFA Item Number Collection mission Type 78 Crop species collected 671 Accession collected 86,605 Accessions in long term storage 55,595 Total districts covered for the exploration 402 Table 17: Methods used to Detect Gaps Method Stakeholders (no.)

Comparison of stored material against organization mandate 10 Comparison of stored material against historical references 11 Comparison of stored material against geographical references 12 Priorities, needs and constraints in supporting planned and targeted collection of PGRFA, have been taken into consideration for further action at national or sub-regional level. Support may be needed from regional and/or international organizations on trait-specific and area-specific collections in certain crops. Fig 6. Gaps Detected and Methods used in Supporting Planned and Targeted Collection of PGRFA Priorities for expanding ex situ conservation activities would be for wild and weedy relatives of crop plants and trait-specific and agro-ecological specific germplasm. Funding may be required in crops of regional/global importance. 44 REPORT ON NISM-GPA Priority setting for ex situ collections are well mandated in India because of considerable strength in this area. Facilitation for specific set of collections of regional/global importance are, however, needed. There is a built-in mechanism to maintain duplicate accessions for safety. The accessions being conserved in the National Genebank are also being maintained by National Active Germplasm Sites and the crop based institutes which are using the germplasm in research and for crop improvement. The National Genebank helps in restoration of lost accessions to the active sites. Most of the stakeholders (65%) have reported medium to high capability for research on improved methodologies for ex situ conservation. The remaining have reported low capacity. A total of 645 species reported under ex situ collections is given in Annexure X. The progress for the capacity building in gene bank management and information systems carried out is satisfactory, though there is a need for more medium-term facilities. A total of 1,96,745 accessions were collected under 166 projects involving 599 professional and 1,04,084 accessions stored as safety duplicates in various types of storages. The maximum number of accessions conserved in ex situ are in the category of traditional cultivars and landraces. A significant number of collections belonging to wild and weedy species and advanced and improved cultivars developed using various genetic resources are also conserved. The details of the total accessions and safety duplicates conserved under ex situ are presented in Table 18.

REGENERATING THREATENED EX SITU ACCESSIONS Amongst the ex-situ conserved accessions, 38,031 have already been regenerated according to established standards, while 42,148 still require regeneration. The estimated time indicated by different stakeholders where priorities for regeneration have been set and the activities are underway is for a maximum duration of 10 years (Table 19-21). Most of the stakeholders (62%) have good capabilities for regeneration of ex situ accessions. Only 15% have reported undertaking of resorbtion of existing backlogs. Most of the stakeholders have reported fair regeneration capabilities in restricting the loss of genetic diversity (Table 22).

FUTURE NEEDS AND PRIORITIES Though large germplasm has been amassed under ex situ conservation, a few accessions lack passport, characterization and/or evaluation data. In addition, there is an emphasis to collect and assemble trait-specific accessions from different agro-ecological zones/sources to facilitate their use in crop improvement. 46 REPORT ON NISM-GPA Fig 7. Regeneration Capacity of Stakeholders According to Various Criteria There is a national mechanism for registration of the potentially valuable germplasm with unique traits to facilitate their documentation and use in basic research and crop improvement. This area needs further strengthening with increased evaluation of genetic resources against important biotic and abiotic stresses and for desirable traits. The stakeholders having medium-term storage facility have reported the existing storage space as one of the constraints while the stakeholders without such facility have expressed a need for creation of such facility for efficient conservation of germplasm. There is an urgent need to identify duplicate accessions that exist within and among genebanks to reduce costs of conservation and to identify promising collections for effective utilization. Recognizing the mandate for conservation of a wide spectrum of crops with different breeding systems, for sustainability of the present ex situ conservation, it is required to develop appropriate regeneration protocols with suitable plant populations. In addition, need based funding for specific programmes may be required for regenerating threatened ex situ accessions. 47 REPORT ON NISM-GPA The wild relatives are poorly represented in most of the ex situ collections and priority in the major food crops should be to collect mainly for gaps in collections during trait-specific and area-specific explorations; to collect the wild and weedy relatives and under-utilized crops and a number of native species that occur in the wild which are utilized for medicinal purposes in the traditional health care systems. A national effort by multi-disciplinary teams of scientists for the characterization (including molecular characterization), evaluation and pre-breeding programmes, using biotechnological tools, wherever required, would provide the necessary thrust for utilization of conserved PGR. The PGR conservation is a long-term, resource intensive commitment, though imperative for sustainable development and posterity. 48 REPORT ON NISM-GPA 9 STATE OF USE There exits a mechanism of “Single Window System of Germplasm Supply” to the users in the country. The NBPGR is the nodal organization supplying genetic resources to different breeding programmes through its network of regional stations and National Active Germplasm Sites (Figure 8). The number of samples distributed during the last 10 years are given in Table 23. Fig. 8.

UTILIZATION AND ENHANCMENT OF USE OF PGR There have been a number of success stories in crop improvement programme resulting in development/genetic improvements of a number of cultivars/ hybrids that has helped in enhancing the national production demonstrating the contribution in increasing the productivity or overcoming various constraints. The list of varieties released during the last 10 years is given in Annexure XII. In most of the crops, a large number of accessions have been assembled and their Total 1,55,329 management for effective use has become difficult. Core collections have been developed only in few crops. Therefore, there is a need for strengthening for application of techniques like development of the gene pools, core collections, trait specific core sets, etc. 2005 9,366 The breeding capability to perform the genetic improvement in most crops is satisfactory (either increasing or stable) except for oilseed crops (Table 24).

Germplasm utilization requires use of stable and heritable traits. Therefore, a network programme on multilocation evaluation leading to utilization in crop improvement programmes of priority crops has been initiated. The programme needs to be expanded to other crops for which additional resources would be required. 53 REPORT ON NISM-GPA A number of crop improvement programmes are focusing on development of improved cultivars resulting in release of more than 500 varieties in about 77 crop species17 during the reporting period (Table 28).

Nevertheless, a limited number of parents have been used indicating the narrow genetic base of most of the varieties developed thereby increasing the genetic vulnerability to biotic and abiotic stresses. Therefore, there is a need to use diverse genetic resources for broadening the genetic base of varieties resulting in more sustainable productivity (Table 30). Table 30: Genetic Enhancement and Base Broadening Programmes Established and Expanded Genetic Enhancement Programme (no.) 55 Type of Activity Rationale for Activity Assessment of Genetic Diversity Genetic enhancement by introgression for specifictraits; population improvement through incorporation or base broadening Evidence of narrow Molecular markers; genetic base; poor gain pedigree studies; in breeding programme; other methods specific-trait not available in current breeding materials B.

Underutilized crops 4319 or species; Diversityrich’ products Topics Covered Research; Crop improvement; Improving processing; Market development; Public awareness; Policy changes During the last 10 years, over 10,000 accessions of underutilized crops have been collected of which nearly 8,000 accessions have been evaluated. This resulted in selection of over 25 varieties of different underutilized crops for cultivation by the farmers under All India Co-ordinated Research Projects/ Network on Small Millets, Underutilized Crops and Arid Legumes. Performance of some of these varieties was verified on farmers’ fields in the tribal, backward and hilly areas under NATP mission on Household Food Security and Nutritional Programme wherein over 8000 farmers were involved. For promotion of these varieties, 740 quintal seed of suitable location specific varieties was distributed among another 9,000 farmers. E. FUTURE NEEDS AND PRIORITIES There exists a well established mechanism for distribution of the genetic resources, however, the feedback regarding the utilization is insufficient and, therefore, requires strengthening.

Although databases at institute level have been developed, there is a need for linking of these databases and creating a national database so that the information on passport, characterization and evaluation can be accessed by all the concerned stakeholders in a user friendly manner. As a major component of the agriculture practices in the country are of subsistence nature, the traditional seed supply system is still in operation in a large part of the country. For rapid seed supply, there is a need for establishment of linkages between the formal seed distribution system and the traditional system. This may require further research and policy support. 58 REPORT ON NISM-GPA 10 ST ATE OF N ATION AL PROGRAMMES STA NA TIONAL PROGRAMMES,, TRAINING AND LEGISL ATION LEGISLA The establishment of a strong national programme is imperative for implementing the PGR management activities. India has a robust national programme, with well coordinated activities among the various agencies. It has also taken up the activities of generating human resourse in the aspects related to PGR management. In addition, the Government of India has also enacted appropriate legislations for regulating conservation and use of PGR in response to the international treaties and commitments. NATIONAL PROGRAMMES Number of technical, legal and managerial/policy experts working in the various National Programmes in India are currently stable but on a decreasing trend. Regular workshops and meetings of concerned persons and organizations are being held to review national activities on conservation and use of PGRFA. EDUCATION AND TRAINING University-level education is offered to interested students on PGRFA in the country. Existence of educational and training programmes incorporating PGR aspects is sufficient both at regional and national level. Training and education opportunities are needed in the country for effective PGRFA conservation and utilization. Special training programmes are required for on-farm conservation, in situ conservation of vegetable crops, species level identification programme (molecular basis), statistical methodologies and molecular analysis for QTLs. GIS application for diversity mapping and remote sensing to manage PGR need to be given more emphasis. NATIONAL LEGISLATION Several legislations or regulations relevant to PGR have been enacted over the past 10 years. These are related to quarantine/ phytosanitary requirements, seed production, plant breeder’s rights, etc. Some of these act are Biological Diversity Act, 2002 59 REPORT ON NISM-GPA Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Act, 2001 Patents (Amendment) Act, 2005 The Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration and Protection) Act, 1999 Plant Quarantine (Regulation of Import into India) Order, 2003 Seeds Act (Act No. 54 of 1966) (under revision) INFORMATION SYSTEMS Software for Genebank Information Management System (GBIMS), Plant Genetic Resources Passport Information Management System (PGRPIMS), electronic catalogues for the recording of the evaluation/characterization data, database for the inventorization of import and export of the accessions have been developed at NBPGR and the complete information is being documented using the Relational Database Management System (RDBSM) tools and is being used by the concerned PGR researchers for the management and planning of the genetic resources related activities. Some of the main observations related to information management of PGR are listed below: Data management and information systems have been standardized in organizations participating in activities covered under National Programme. Twelve stakeholders reported participation in 16 programmes/project/activities in order to develop data and information management systems for PGRFA in the country. Table 35: Type of Connectivity Available with Various Stakeholders Type of Connectivity Most stakeholders are equipped with computers and internet connectivity (Table 35). Only few international information systems are accessed for the PGR in India. Stakeholders (no.) Continuous 33 Dial-up 13 None 2 PUBLIC AWARENESS Based on the information supplied by the stakeholders, the level of public awareness on the importance of PGRFA conservation in the country appears to be satisfactory. Seven NGOs and individuals are involved in public awareness activities in the country. 60 REPORT ON NISM-GPA In addition, several isolated activities have been reported through public awareness programmes in the country. Issues related to sustainable management of PGRFA are being integrated into the pre-secondary and/ or secondary educational curricula in India. DEVELOPMENT OF MONITORING AND EARLY WARNING SYSTEMS FOR LOSS OF PGRFA The need for assessing genetic erosion and genetic vulnerability has been recognized in the country. The mechanisms reported to monitor genetic erosion in the country are land surveys and inventories, environmental impact assessments, gene bank monitoring and monitoring of reports of land use changes Measures taken to identify and assess genetic erosion, including trends over time are being taken up under 3 projects. No serious constraint in monitoring genetic erosion exists in the country. FUTURE NEEDS AND PRIORITIES All the awareness activities reported appear to be isolated and require appropriate coordination for its effective implementation at the national level. Although constraints to monitoring genetic erosion have not been reported, there are very few case studies to support these observations reflecting the lack of efforts in this direction. 61 REPORT ON NISM-GPA 11 ST ATE OF REGION AL AND STA REGIONAL ABORA TION INTERN ATION AL COLL INTERNA TIONAL COLLABORA ABORATION Over the years the Indian PGR programmes have participated at both regional and international levels on issues related to PGFRA management. These linkages have been mutually beneficial by providing support, scientific information and exchange of materials. International collaboration is on bilateral and mulitlateral basis. INTERNATIONAL NETWORKING India is participating in two crop-based or thematic networks for PGR namely INIBAP Musa Germplasm Transit Centre, Catholic University, Leuven and Coconut Genetic Resouces Network- International Plant Genetic Resources Institute. (i) The types of support provided by the Government for network activities are: Direct financial support through membership dues Travel costs to attend meetings Publication costs Technical expertise in joint activities Organization and hosting of network meetings Institutional infrastructure to participate in joint activities Information management support (ii) The major benefits gained by the country through PGRFA networks are – Transfer of technology Back-up safety duplicates of germplasm Exchange of germplasm Increased research facilities Sharing of responsibilities for network activities Training for national programme scientists Exchange of information Joint characterization and evaluation of germplasm Avoiding duplication of efforts 62 REPORT ON NISM-GPA (iii) No major constraints are reported for the effective participation of our country in regional and/or international PGRFA networks. (iv) Seventeen stakeholders have reported involvement in 22 projects/programmes/ activities carried out by their organizations in collaboration with a PGRFA network INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMES International programmes for PGR that have been most beneficial for India are Indo-USAID and World Bank funded programmes which have helped in strengthening PGR management in the country during the last 10 years. INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS Following international agreements (Table 36), treaties, conventions, or trade agreements over the past 10 years that are relevant to the sustainable use, development and conservation of PGR have been signed.

Some difficulties are also being encountered in maintaining relations for exchange with other countries. The emphasis is on trait-specific and area-specific collections. Support may be required in certain crops of regional/global importance. FAIR AND EQUITABLE SHARING OF THE BENEFITS Mechanism for benefit sharing have been put in place in the form of different legislations listed above. However, actual cases of benefit sharing have not been encountered yet. Some isolated case studies undertaken have demonstrated benefit sharing arrangements for the holders of the traditional knowledge. IMPLEMENTATION OF FARMERS’ RIGHTS International agreements that are relevant to the implementation of Farmers’ Rights, viz. Convention of Biological Diversity, Global Plan of Action, International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture have been subscribed. The Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Act, 2001 has been enacted as a national legislation to achieve or enhance the implementation of Farmers’ Rights. The implementation of this legislation involves the setting up of a Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Authority which would take care of the provisions under the Act. The Salient Features of the Legislation are: The legislation extends to all categories of plants except micro-organisms. In order to be eligible for protection, a variety must be new, distinct, uniform and stable. The legislation contains provisions for compulsory licensing in public interest. The authority can give a compulsory licence to a third party to produce seed if the licence /breeder fails to produce the required quality / quantity of seed. Farmers would continue to enjoy their traditional rights to save, use, exchange, share and sell their produce of the protected variety with the only restriction that the farmers would not be able to sell branded seed of the protected variety for commercial purposes. Farmers can claim compensation if the variety fails to perform as claimed by the breeder. The Rules under the “Protection of Plant Varieties & Farmers’ Rights Act, 2001" have been notified in the Gazette, in 2003. 69 REPORT ON NISM-GPA 13 CONTRIBUTION OF PGRFA MANAGEMENT TO FOOD SECURITY AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Crop improvement programmes in India have made tremendous contributions over the second half of the twentieth century providing enormous economic, social and environmental benefits. This has not only helped in attaining food security through pathbreaking new technologies but also ensured enough food. The research conducted both independently by the National Agricultural Research System (NARS) and in partnership with International Agricultural Research Centres (IARCs) was appropriately supported by effective management of PGR, faster adoption of new crops, modern varieties and hybrids, right policies and the innovative mechanisms for technology transfer. The major components of management of PGR include activities related to the acquisition of germplasm, their conservation and characterization and evaluation leading to sustainable utilization. The acquisition of germplasm has been through collection of indigenous diversity and through exchange of germplasm from other countries. In India, there is a single window system operated by NBPGR for germplasm exchange, (includes import and export) and quarantine of small samples, including those of transgenics, meant for research. Earlier though the germplasm was freely accessed and exchanged, the recent global developments have necessitated regulations for access to germplasm subject to various national legislations and policy changes. The conservation of PGR is achieved through the in situ and ex situ strategies. In situ conservation ensures that the genetic diversity available in the genetic resources rich areas is conserved, while allowing the evolutionary process to continue. The responsibility of maintaining the ex situ collection of PGR on long-term basis is entrusted to the National Genebank of NBPGR. The National Genebank operates in the network mode and has an effective linkage with others engaged in PGR management, thus making conserved PGR easily accessible to plant breeders. The germplasm collections are conserved as base collection in the seed genebank, in vitro genebank or cryogenebank, at NBPGR, New Delhi or are maintained as field genebanks at the appropriate sites. The active collections are conserved in a network of NBPGR Regional Stations and the various National Active Germplasm Sites (NAGS) located at crop based institutes/ state agriculture universities/crop improvement programmes. In addition, every plant breeding programme in the country has working collections; and these are also 70 REPORT ON NISM-GPA linked with the National Genebank. The centres are also linked with NBPGR for evaluation of germplasm. The germplasm stored in the National Genebank network is available to various researchers. The request for germplasm is first forwarded to the concerned NAGS/NBPGR Regional Stations for providing the material from the active collection. When any accession is unavailable in the active collection, the germplasm is obtained from the base collection for multiplication to replenish the active collection as well as for supply to the indenter. Effective PGR management has helped in increasing the food production through appropriate acquisition (indigenous and exotic germplasm) and their effective utilization in the crop improvement programmes. Classical use of dwarfing genes, such as, ‘Norin10’ in wheat and ‘Dee Geo Woo Gen’ in rice, have been instrumental in gaining productivity jumps and thereby providing food security to the increasing population. Wheat and rice breeding materials introduced from IRRI, Philippines and CIMMYT, Mexico during the 1960s laid the foundation of Green Revolution. These were high yielding, dwarf and input responsive germplasm used as parents in recombination breeding which were later utilized by Indian breeders to suit different agro-climatic conditions. Landraces have been an important source of individual characteristics introduced into new varieties by modern plant breeders. In many cases, the genetic material provided by landraces has also been used to broaden the genetic base of crops through the recurrent selection of landrace material in the environment for which new varieties are required. Though exploitation of genes from wild relatives has been limited due to difficulty in making viable crosses between wild and domesticated species, the resistance genes from wild species in cases such as Oryza nivara and Cucumis hardwikii have helped in saving rice and cucumber crops, respectively from imminent extinction. The recent developments in recombinant DNA technology have raised the prospects of a better understanding of gene expression and transfer of useful traits to cultivated species, which was not possible earlier by the conventional means. This knowledge would lead to novel and precise screening tools for genetic resources to identify new sources of raw materials and facilitate the use of genetic resources in the development of modern crop varieties and hybrids particularly targeted for different environments including biotic and abiotic stresses. 71 REPORT ON NISM-GPA Annexure I SPECIES INCLUDED IN THE NISM DATABASE 1.

Background Within the framework of the Global Plan of Action (GPA) for the Conservation and Sustainable Use of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (PGRFA), which was adopted by 150 countries at the FAO International Conference on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (Leipzig, 1996), the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (CGRFA) at its Seventh Session, requested FAO to develop a transparent and efficient monitoring process and recommended that for all priority activity areas of the GPA a core set of indicators should be established to facilitate such a process. With the aim of strengthening national PGRFA programmes, FAO is engaged in several initiatives to co-ordinate national and regional efforts to improve the conservation and sustainable utilization of plant genetic resources. As part of this effort FAO, in collaboration with seven participating countries (Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam) had submitted the project GCP/RAS/186/JPN proposal to the Government of Japan for funding support to assist the participating countries: To draw/assess the current status of PGRFA in order to fill information gaps in each of the participating countries and to identify their needs and priorities for the conservation and sustainable utilization of PGRFA within the framework of GPA. To improve national capacity in monitoring PGRFA activities within the framework of the GPA by empowering them with tools for leading efficient decision-making processes, evaluating and developing PGRFA policies at national level. To share with the region successful experiences in the implementation of GPA priority activity areas related to in situ conservation and on farm management and to improve national capacity in carrying out PGRFA in situ conservation and on farm management. The government of Japan graciously approved and funded the project, which became operational on 1st of June, 2003, with the joining of the Chief Technical Advisor of the project at the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific in Bangkok. The first regional consultation of the project with the participation of all national focal points and several 203 REPORT ON NISM-GPA international agricultural research centres and donor representatives was successfully held on 13–15 October 2003. Among the decisions/recommendations reached during the consultation were to expedite the establishment of a National Information-Sharing Mechanism for the implementation of the Global Plan of Action for the conservation and sustainable utilization of plant genetic resources in each of the participating countries as the immediate task of the project to be conducted by the countries. This will involve the organization of national stakeholder meetings/workshops with the objectives to: Improve the ability of countries on decision making on the conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources, including priority setting and resources allocation. Build stronger partnerships among stakeholders in plant genetic resources research and management within each country. Increase understanding among stakeholders about the status of the plant genetic resources in their countries.
