The Central Soil Salinity Research Institute (CSSRI)[1] is an autonomous institute of higher learning, established under the umbrella of Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) by the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India for advanced research in the field of soil sciences. The institute is located on Kachawa Road in Karnal, in the state of Haryana, Шаблон:Cvt from the Indian capital of New Delhi.

Central Soil Salinity Research Institute (CSSRI) had its origin in Hisar, Haryana, on 1 March 1969, as per recommendations of an Indo-American team, employed to assist the Indian Council of Agricultural Research in developing a comprehensive water management program for India. However, by October 1969, the institute was shifted to its present premises in Karnal and a year later, the Central Rice Research Station, Canning Town, West Bengal was merged with CSSRI.

The institute has a satellite unit in Bharuch, which was originally started in Anand in 1989, but moved to Bharuch in 2003 and hosts the coordinating unit of AICRP on Management of Salt Affected Soils and Use of Saline Water in Agriculture with a network of eight research centres located in different agro ecological regions of the country at Agra, Bapatala, Bikaner, Gangawati, Hisar, Indore, Kanpur and Tiruchirapalli. The coordinating unit of AICRP on Water Management was a part of CSSRI from early seventies till 1990 when it was moved to Rahuri in Maharashtra.

The main achievements of CSSRI may be listed as:

  • Reclamation of alkaline soils with the addition of chemical amendments.[2]
  • Reclamation of saline soils through subsurface drainage.
  • Development and release of salt tolerant crop varieties of rice, wheat and mustard.[2]
  • Reclamation of salt affected soils through salt tolerant trees.
  • Development of for the salt affected areas of vertisols and coastal regions. The institute has reclaimed nearly Шаблон:Convert of salt affected land for productive use, producing approximately 15 million tons of food grains annually.[2]
  • Development of subsurface drainage technology for waterlogged saline soils. Reclamation has been completed on approximately Шаблон:Convert of land in Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka.[2]
  • Replenishment of depleting water tables by artificial ground water recharge.

CSSRI manages an International Training Centre under an Indo-Dutch collaboration since 2001. It offers post graduate level programs in association with State Agricultural Universities (SAUs), Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) and other Universities.[2]

The institute has undertaken several national and international projects.

  • International Rice Research Institute (IRRI)[3] sponsored rice improvement program[4]
  • Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR)[5] sponsored Indo-Australian program for wheat improvement[6]
  • IRRI, Philippines and CIMMYT, Mexico sponsored program of cereal based systems[7]

Divisions

The institute is engaged in multidisciplinary research activities which are carried out through four divisions.

Division of Soil and Crop Management

The Division conducts research on resource conservation technologies[8] and cost effective farming system models. It prepares and maintains digital databases of salt affected soils and conducts periodic assessment of soil resources. It also focusses on agroforestry on salt affected soils.

Division of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering

The Division attends to the areas related to groundwater recharge technologies, subsurface drainage for amelioration of waterlogged saline soils and decision support systems for ground water contaminations. The Division has project partnership with INNO-Asia.[9]

Division of Crop Improvement

Development of saline and alkaline tolerant crops such as rice, wheat and mustard through conventional breeding and modern molecular and physiological approaches is the primary activity of the Division.[10]

The Division of Social Science Research

The Division is pursuing to evaluate and assess the socio-economic impact of the technologies developed by the institute. These technologies are transferred to the farmers and other stakeholders through frontline demonstrations, farmers’ fairs, exhibitions, and other extension methods. The development of human resources through trainings on reclamation and management of salt-affected soils and use of poor quality water in agriculture.

Vision, Mission and Mandate

Шаблон:Quotebox Шаблон:Quotebox

Mandate:[11] The institute is mandated with:[12]

  • Conduct of basic and advanced research on reclamation and management of salt affected soils and development of suitable agrochemical, biological and hydraulic technologies for the use of irrigation water for the development of various agro-ecological zones for sustainable production.
  • Generation, assessment and propagation of preventive/ameliorative technology.
  • Maintenance and dissemination of information on resource inventories for the management of salt affected soils and waters.
  • Act as a fulcrum for researches on salinity management and coordination of research between the various universities, institutions and agencies in the country for developing and testing location–specific technologies.
  • Provide advanced training and consultancy in salinity researches in India.
  • Liaison with national and international agencies for the achievement of the above objectives.

Regional Research Stations

CSSRI has three regional stations for a wider national coverage, each located at Bharuch,[13] Canning Town[14][15] and Lucknow.[16][17]

Facilities

Publication and Supporting Service Unit

PSS unit is responsible for information dissemination of the scientific researches of the Institute and has published 233 research papers on national and international journals, published 25 books and 60 bulletins.

Computer Centre

The institute is equipped with a modern computer centre since 1988 which acts as the communication hub of the institute. The centre is supported by an ICT infrastructure, LAN network and modern hardware and software. It provides system support in the procurement, maintenance, training, MIS reports, document processing, conduct of computer based exams and IT support for administration. It also maintains the web site of the institute.

Health Care Center

The project is mandated with the responsibility to:

  • Conduct survey and characterize the salt affected soils and the quality of ground water in various irrigation commands.
  • Develop guidelines and standardize procedures for the assessment of irrigation waters.
  • Conduct studies on the effect of poor quality water on soil and crops.
  • Prescribe practice norms for utilization of water with high salinity/ alkalinity and toxic ions.
  • Prepare strategies for the reclamation of salt affected soils.
  • Prescribe alternate methods of using salt affected soils by way of agroforestry, bio-drainage and multi-enterprise cultivation such as medicinal and aromatic plants.
  • Identify and develop crop cultivars and trees suitable for cultivation in salinity and alkalinity soil conditions.[10]
