The National Agricultural Innovation Project (NAIP) 2006, funded by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), supports undergraduate students pursuing research in agriculture. It invites concept notes for innovative projects aligned with thrust areas identified by the scheme. NAIP aims to foster agricultural innovation through competitive funding, enabling students to develop solutions that address challenges in farming, technology, and rural development.

Open to undergraduate students enrolled in recognized agricultural programs. Applicants must align their project proposals with the thrust areas specified by NAIP. Preference may be given to students from SC, ST, OBC, EBC, or EWS categories. There are no strict marks or income criteria, but proposals must demonstrate scientific merit and innovation.

Submit a concept note outlining the research project, objectives, methodology, and expected outcomes. Ensure the proposal aligns with NAIP’s thrust areas. The official page provides guidelines and templates for submission. Late or incomplete applications may not be considered. Check the ICAR website regularly for updates on the submission process.
