Strengthening StatiStical computing for narSForeword

Statistics is the science of drawing valid conclusions under uncertainty. The importance of statistical science in agriculture is obvious, where the collection, analysis and interpretation of numerical data are concerned to answer quantitative biological questions from research data. Statistics plays an important role in experimentation, while manyscientificproblemscouldbesolvedbydifferentstatisticalprocedures.Widespreaduseofcomputersandspecialized high end statistical software packages have helped and greatly improved the ability of researchers to analyze and interpret voluminous data. The statistical computing support is essential in improving the quality of agricultural research to make it globally competitive and acceptable. With this background, the present project on Strengthening Statistical Computing for NARS (SSCNARS) funded by National Agricultural Innovation Project (NAIP) of Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) was taken up. Implementationof this consortium in 3-tier structurewithfirst tier as lead centre, 08NARSorganizations asStatistical Computing Hubs at second tier and third tier as 142 other NARS organizations as nodes is unique effort in the sense that each NARS organization is linked with each other, which has resulted into effective collaboration among all NARS organizations. This has empowered the statisticians and other researchers by creating healthy statistical computing environments and by providing the high-end statistical computing package(s) for statistical computing as is available at premier Institutes. It has provided the statisticians an opportunity to interact with each and every researcher of NARS through 115 (11 for trainers and 104 for researchers) training programmes and e-resources. The Indian NARS Statistical Computing Portal developed for providing service oriented computing has been well received by NARS researchers. The automation system developed for creation of research data repository and standardization of analysis of All India Sorghum Crop Improvement Project would be a guiding force for other All India Coordinated Projects in the Council.The interventions made have been helpful in drawing statistically valid conclusions, use of complex statistical techniques and save on time and resources. The capacity building efforts have paved the way for publishing research papers in the high impact factor journals. This would be continued as a research activity of Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute in XII Plan. To further harness the benefits of the healthy statistical computingenvironment created and meeting the future requirements, the activities of enhancing Statistical Computing for National Agricultural Research and Education System (NARES) may be continued in the form of a network project with provision of appropriate funds. In future, for procurement of statistical packages as per requirement and updates and upgrades of the existing ones, enough provision of funding needs to be made. The scientists involved in this project from IASRI and Consortium Partners have put in a lot of valiant efforts in providing this facility to the researchers of NARS and training them in enhancing their computing and research analytics skills. The entire team of SSCNARS led by Dr. Rajender Parsad deserves appreciation for carrying out this work. It is expected that the healthy statistical computing environment created in NARS would continue benefittingthescienceandthescientists.

PrefaceStatistics provides a strong base for any scientific investigation. Statistical techniques help in drawing validinferences on the basis of data collected during the course of investigation. Statistical tools have wide applicability covering almost all branches of science dealing with uncertain phenomena involving aggregates. Statistical computing methods enable to answer quantitative biological questions from research data so that the amount of information generated is maximized. In order to provide statistical computing environment in NARS, the present project on Strengthening Statistical Computing for NARS (SSCNARS) was formulated. This consortium is an outcome of visualization of research managers, research facilitators, researchers and trainers to create sound and healthy statistical computing environment for the benefit of scientists ofNARS so as to help inmakingagricultural research globally competitive, with enhanced acceptability and increased visibility. This project targeted at providing advanced, versatile, innovative and state-of the art high end statistical packages, mainly SAS, and technical support on statistical computing by applications of these packages to undertake appropriate, sophisticated and computationally involved statistical analysis of data. Strengthening Statistical Computing labs have been established at lead Centre (with 20 desktop computers) and at 08 other Statistical Computing Hubs (with 10 desktop computers at each hub). The general purpose Statistical Software Package(s) SAS EAS, JMP and JMP Genomics have been procured with 151 licenses (100 Standalone and 50 Intranet Based) + SAS Enterprise Business Intelligence Server with all modules of SAS Intranet based for perpetual use with three years updates and upgrades by 151 different NARS Organizations. It can be installed on multipleofficialmachines.Morethan200 researchers/nodalofficersfrom151 NARS organizations have been trained through 35 Orientation-cum-Installation Training Programmes. The software is installed on more than 2750 computers of 151 NARS organizations. 2785 researchers (209 trainers, 2330 researchers; 246 RA/SRFs/research scholars) have been trained through 115 training programmes organized by lead centre IASRI, New Delhi and Consortium Partners in the usage ofstatisticalsoftware.Fifteenofthese115trainingprogrammeswereorganizedforspecificneedsofdifferentInstitutions. For providing service oriented computing to Indian NARS users, a portal has been established which is available through IP authentication at http://stat.iasri.res.in/sscnarsportal. This portal contains different modules for statistical analysis of data. Both the portal and bulletin of portal are copyrighted material of ICAR.

Strengthening StatiStical computing for narS

Part-II: Technical Details 1. Introduction Statistical analysis is an important tool to extract as much information as possible from the given data. Statistical computing methods enable to answer quantitative biological questions from research data and help to plan new experiments in a such way that the amount of information generated from each experiment is maximized. Proper and appropriate use of statistical methods for agricultural data analysis in particular is crucial, and serves as a tool tomaximizethebenefitsobtainedfrominvestmentsinagriculturalresearch.Widespreaduseofcomputersandspecialized high end statistical software packages have helped and greatly improved the ability of researchers to analyze and interpret voluminous data. Developments in computerized statistical analysis have enhanced the ability of researchers to come up with better conclusions. This has helped in improving their statistical, computer-related and networking skills of the researchers. For exploiting and sustaining these developed skills, availability of proper computing and infrastructure facilities to agricultural research in National Agricultural Research System (NARS) is of utmost consequence. The statistical computing support would be useful in improving the quality of agricultural research and make it globally competitive and acceptable by way of publications in International refereed Journals. Therefore, research managers, research facilitators, researchers and trainers visualized to create asoundandhealthystatisticalcomputingenvironmentforthebenefitofscientistsofNARS.In order to put this thought into reality, a committee was constituted by NAIP to identify the path for providing high end statistical computing support to scientists of NARS. The committee unanimously desired that a system may be evolved wherein the agricultural research workers may get specialized statistical computing support so that their research becomes globally competitive. Broadly the committee suggested the following:• Tocreateahealthystatisticalcomputingenvironment for thebenefitof thescientists inNARSbywayof

providing advanced, versatile, innovative and state-of the art high end statistical software packages. • The availability of an excellent statistical computing environment would benefit the scientists in NARS

immensely and enable them to draw meaningful and valid inferences from their research. • Statistical computing support would help improve the quality of agricultural research and make it globally

competitive and acceptable by way of publications in International refereed Journals. Itwasalsodebatedastohowthequalityofresearchwouldbeenhancedandfinallythecommitteewasoftheview that the quality of research would improve by the quality of statistical data analysis being done. If the data are subjected to sophisticated analysis and sound interpretation, the quality and reliability of research output is expected to enhance. It is emphasized here that for performing the quality data analysis, the relevant statistical packages would play a very important role. To implement this, it was suggested that NAIP may consider negotiating for general purpose statistical software for all the scientists in NARS. It was also realized that while the general purpose statistical software is a good step but there was an apprehension that because of poor connectivity and differential requirements of different research organization the general purpose software may not yield the desired results. Given the state of internet connectivity at that time in NARS, the following alternatives were suggested: • The general purpose statistical software may not be hosted at a centralized server. Instead it may be decentralized

and each institute may have individual licenses and the software hosted at their respective institutes. This

wouldgiveafreedomtotheInstitutestoselectmodules/add-onsaccordingtotheirspecificresearchneeds.• A negotiated cost of the perpetual license along with the cost of add-ons and updates for single user / multi-

user may be obtained. The software may be made available at the negotiated cost to all those Institutes which require such software.

On the basis of these suggestions, NAIP initiated a process to assess the existing status of statistical computing along with the preferences for high end statistical computing requirements. For this purpose a questionnaire was designed for obtaining relevant information from various research organizations under NARS. A total of 74 responses were obtained. Majority of the respondents said that they do not have access to statistical packages tomeet their requirementsofstatisticalanalysis,availabilityofqualifiedstatisticalprofessionals is inadequateand funds availability for strengthening statistical computing is inadequate. Several user meetings were also organized by PIU-NAIP. In these meetings 28 users (13 from ICAR Institutes and 15 from SAUs) representing the disciplines of Plant Breeding and Genetics, Plant Biotechnology, Soil Science, Agronomy, Entomology, Soil Physics, Plant Physiology, Post Harvest Technology, Agricultural Engineering, Floriculture, Fishery Sciences and Animal Sciences attended the meeting. In this meeting, user scientists were of the opinion that this initiative should aim at capacity building of scientists and also help them to improve the quality of agricultural research through appropriate, sophisticated, valid and accurate analysis of data generated. To achieve this, availability of a general purpose statistical package is the requirement of the NARS. The availability of general purpose statistical software package would help in the proper statistical analysis of data and drawing statistically valid conclusions and hence in improving the quality of research and thus the investment to be made in this project will be helpful for improving the quality of agricultural research. However, accuracy and reliability of computations along with ensured technical support should be one of the keys for deciding on the procurement of statistical package. It was expressed by some of the stakeholders (CIFE, Mumbai) that the availability of general purpose statistical package i.e. SAS, has improved the quality of research and education at their respective Institutions. The scientists and the students have been able to publish their research in international journals. On the basis of the information received from various research organizations and the meetings with the user scientists, the committee constituted the idea of realizing this task of providing high end statistical computing was initiated and conceptualized in the form of this project. The present project, therefore, aims at providing research guidance in statistical computing so as to provide enabling statistical computing facilities to the researchers of NARS by applications of general purpose statistical software package(s) that help in undertaking appropriate, sophisticated and computationally involved statistical analysis of data keeping in mind also the accuracy and precision of results. It also aims at providing advanced, versatile, innovative and state-of the-art high end statistical packages for analysis of data so as to enable drawing meaningful and valid inferences and converting research output into knowledge.The efforts would not merely be focused on an interface of statistics, computer science and numerical analysis, but it would also involve designing of intelligent algorithms for implementing statistical techniques particularly for analyzing massive data sets, simulation, bootstrap, etc.

4. Baseline Analysis To assess the existing status of statistical computing along with the preferences for high end statistical computing requirements, NAIP-PIU designed a questionnaire for obtaining relevant information from various research organizations under NARS. A total of 74 responses were obtained. Majority of the respondents said that they do not have high-end statistical packages to meet their requirements of statistical analysis, availability ofqualifiedstatisticalprofessionalsisinadequateandfundsavailabilityforstrengtheningstatisticalcomputingis inadequate. Further, in several user meetings organized by PIU-NAIP, the user scientists were of the opinion that this initiative should aim at capacity building of scientists and also help them to improve the quality of agricultural research through appropriate, sophisticated, valid and accurate analysis of data generated. To achieve this, availability of a general purpose statistical package is the requirement of the NARS. The availability of general purpose statistical software package would help in the proper statistical analysis of data and drawing statistically valid conclusions and hence in improving the quality of research. Some of the stakeholders (such as CIFE, Mumbai) expressed that the availability of general purpose statistical package i.e. SAS, has improved the quality of research and education at their respective Institutions. The scientists and the students have been able to publish their research in International Journals. Based on informal discussions, it was observed that prior to 2010, SAS was available with CIFE, Mumbai; UAS, Dharwad (which were paying more than Rs. 4.00 lakhs p.a.), IASRI, New Delhi; DOR, Hyderabad (only SAS E-miner: Rs. 0.80 lakhs p.a.). Some NARS organizations CMFRI, Kochi; CIFA, Bhubaneswar; Sher-E-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences & Technology-K, Shalimar, Srinagar and NCIPM, New Delhi had SAS but could not continue due to inadequate resources. Some organizations such as NCAP, New Delhi were at the advanced stage of procurement.

Different Modules in AICSIP Automation System and Process Flow There are 5 modules in AICSIP automation, namely Experiment Creation Module, Data Upload and Scrutiny,

Analysis Module, Management Module & Admin Module. It facilitates planning of experiments, generate randomizedlayouts/datafilepreparation,maintaininformationabouttheexperimentsatacentralizedplace,allow enter/upload experimental data during the course of experiment (or at the end), has the ability to carry out appropriate statistical analysis and automate uniform reporting process, provides secured access to data for authorized users and different access rights at different levels of users, ability to store the data and results in personal/project folder by the users and be linked to Indian NARS Statistical Computing Portal for online design generation and online analysis of experimental data. The following section explains each module in detail.

Experiment Creation Module The different tasks in this module are (i) Updating the genotype lines database, (ii) Experiment Planning,

(iii) Randomized Layouts (iv)View/Print Randomized layouts. Before planning of the experiments, the genotype lines database should be updated so that it becomes easy while planning the experiment. The updating will involve typically two tasks, namely• Enter new lines received from different centres and assign SPH/SPV numbers. Numbers are assigned

automatically based on the last number assigned• Update Levels of testing for the lines based on last year trials/recommendations from the annual workshop.

This will ensure that only relevant entries are shown automatically while creating advanced trials. The user(s) with “admin” role will be allowed to make these changes.

Types of Experiments The next step in Experiment creation is to create experiment details identifying the type of experiments,

treatments (lines & checks or fertilizer levels etc.), statistical design to be used, locations where the experiments to be conducted, observations to be collected etc. The types of experiments which can be created are as follows:• Breeding Trials

o Initial Trialso Advanced Trialso Late Sown Trials

• Plant Protection Trialso Entomology Trialso Pathology Trials

• Plant Production Trialso Agronomy Trialso Plant Physiology Trials

• Other Trials Thebreedingtrialsareexpectedtobecreatedfirstastheothertrialssuchasplantprotectiontrialsmayinclude

same lines as treatments. The following tasks are to be performed by the experiment incharges of breeding trials:

Tasks• Fill in general information of the experiment (Experiment Type, Season, Other experiment incharges who

are allowed to modify), objectives.

Page 34: Strengthening Statistical Computing for NARS-2014_01-07-14.pdf

Strengthening StatiStical computing for narS

• Select the observations to be collected along with due dates (Optional).• Select locations where the experiments will be conducted and select the concerned experimenters from

the locations.• Select pick lines from the database. Choose the lines to be included from the list available and choose

check lines.• Select statistical design to be adopted. Two options are available, Randomized Complete Block (RCB)

designs and Alpha Designs. If alpha design(s) is(are) available for the selected number of treatments (lines + checks), choose one from available designs based on number of replications and block size required. For RCB design, enter number of replications.

This completes the step of creating breeding experiments. A unique experiment ID is created for the each experiment. In case of any changes, one can modify the information. A Screen shot is

Late Sown Trials Late sown trials are those trials in which the same lines are included but sown late in the season. Since all the

information are already available, experimenter incharge is required to specify locations where these trials are to be conducted. A new experiment ID is created for each late sown trials.

Plant Protection Trials Using this option, one can create an experiment based on the Breeding trials. The experiment incharge of

Entomology/Plant Pathology shall choose the breeding trials to use, additional checks to include, locations where the Trials will be conducted and observations to be collected. The statistical design which can be used in these trials is restricted to RCB design.

Plant Production/Any other Trials Using this option, experiment incharges of Agronomy and other disciplines can create experiments. The

differences between this and breeding trials are use of two factors with different levels as treatments, wide variety of statistical designs to choose from (CRD, RCBD, Factorial CRD, Factorial RCBD and Split Plot). The same option can also be used for creating any other type of trials.

The information entered during the experiment creation tasks are saved in the database. This information for a particular experiment is accessible only to those who are designated as Experiment Incharge for that experiment.

Creation of Randomized Layouts After all experiments are created, the next step is to create randomized layouts. This step is to be performed by

the experiment incharge for each experiment separately. During this process, the experiment incharge should decide on use of random coding of genotype lines in breeding trials. It is possible to code genotype lines differently in each replications or use the same random code in all replications. The starting number should also bespecifiedbytheexperimentincharge.Incaseofdifferentrandomcodingineachreplication,thesystemwillautomatically start codes after 50. For example, if there are 25 treatments in a trial and the experiment incharge choose 1000 to be starting number for the random coding and there are 3 replications, the treatments will be coded from 1001 to 1025 for replication 1; 1051 to 1075 for replication 2 and 1100 to 1125 for replication 3. In case, there are more than 50 treatments in a trial, continuous coding will be used.

Most of the time in breeding experiments, local checks are also included as one of the checks. In such cases, thelocalcheckswillbeassignedthelastrandomcodeineachreplicationforeasyidentification.

In Plant Protection trials, the random coding used in breeding trials will be used. The checks in the plant protection trials are not coded.

In Late Sown trials, the random coding created in the corresponding trial will be used.

This step creates the randomized layouts for each location in the experiment. After this step, no changes in the treatments/locations are allowed in the experiment.

View/Print Experiment Layouts After randomization step, one can view the randomized layouts and other details. The detailed information (in

PDF form) includes title, experiment type, locations, incharges, treatment coding and layouts of each location. Only concerned experiment incharge is allowed to view the keys to the random coding. Others are not allowed to view this information. For those who are from cooperating centre and are designated as location incharge, can view the randomized layouts of their centre only.

Data Sheet Download and Upload Module All the cooperating centre users who have been designated as experimenters can download the datasheets for

each of their experiments. The datasheet downloaded will be in Microsoft®Excel®format.Theexcelfilewillinclude all the relevant details as per the layout (i.e. treatments will appear as per the layout).

The training programmes were designed to acquaint the participants with the capabilities of SAS and JMP Statistical Discovery Softwares along with hands on experience training. The emphasis was laid on statistical concepts, use of appropriate statistical techniques for data analysis, interpretation of results presentation and interpretation of results. It has been told that the statistical packages are only helpful in avoiding the drudgery of computation and are not a replacement of a trained statistician. If a trained statistician is not consulted for generation, analysis and interpretation of data for answering the research question, then the blind use of statistical packages may end with disaster. During the capacity building of resource scientists, they were sensitized on how to use statistics in their research work and team up with a statistician preferably in their institutes and at IASRI, New Delhi.

• CIFE, Mumbai and IASRI, New Delhi reported good Placements for students in MNCs and Doctoral Program overseas.

• Notional Savings: As some of the NARS organizations were paying more than Rs. 4.0 lakh per annum for less number of modules than currently available. Therefore, taking annual cost as Rs. 4.0 lakh per annum for three years and at least use for 5 years beyond the period of three years at Rs. 1.3 lakh per annum compounded to 6% increase every year, total notional savings are 23.26 crores. The computations are given as in Table 7.

• More than 100 NARS organizations have analyzed more than 5 data sets. Therefore, if we take only 100 organizations for 3 years at Rs. 4.0 lakh per annum, then an amount of Rs. 12.00 crores would have been required against the present investment of Rs. 7.18 crores for all 151 NARS organizations. Further, it is available as perpetual license and can be used till hardware and operating environment would support.

•Suggested to make it accessible through Server-Client Architect in LAN of the organization and client depot was prepared and made available to all researchers;

•Alternatively make it accessible through Citrix environment where computers on LAN can be used as terminals. This, however, required procurement of Enterprise license for Citrix and require additional funds for the purpose;

•LicensefileshavebeenuploadedonResourcepageofthe Portal which is accessible from IP Authenticated machinesandusercanupdatethelicensefiles.

Demand from NARS organizations to conduct training programmes at their door steps.

•37 training programmes and 16 sensitization programmes were organized at the doorstep of the users;

•Social Networking Tools (Google hangouts) have been usedforefficientutilizationofresourcesandimpartingtraining at different centres at same time. Webinars through Google Hangouts have a limitation that only one screen can be shared at a time and around 9 people can joinatatime.Itposesdifficultiesinlivedemosessionsand reaching to large number of participants. Therefore, it is suggested that licenses for full Webinar sessions may be procured that may facilitate joining of many participants at a time and have the facility of desktop by the instructor. It is suggested that Webinar license may be procured.

At present Server capacity is not sufficient tocater to the needs of increasing user base of Indian NARS Statistical Computing Portal. Non-accessibility of the Portal from several regional centres due to non-availability of static public IP address.

•The server is being maintained to meet the requirements of researchers across NARS;

•Advised all NARS organizations including regional centres to have static IP Addresses that would ensure the usage across NARS;

•NodalofficersfromNARSorganizationsinthenearbyplaces were requested to install software at the regional centres;

•High-end scalable dedicated servers for Indian NARS statistical computing portal along with high bandwidth capacity may be helpful in resolving the problem and for further strengthening the Portal and capacity building, enahacing statistical computing in NARES may be continued as a network project with appropriate provision of funds.

In the beginning, the problem was faced in the procurement of the software due to non-availability of software procurement documents. The concerned authorities were ignorant about the differences between goods and software procurement. The major difference are as follows:“Software is unique and different from “goods or equipment” in many aspects. The differences are software license (right to use and access and not transferred), usage of software, warranty as per the standard industry practices, intellectual property rights, piracy, reverse engineering, source code, maintenance service such as updates - upgrades, number of installations and territory of usage, also the type of usage of the software after installation, etc. Factors such as type of software license, the type of maintenance services, type of usage of the software after installation, copies and disaster recovery type & usage also decide the price of the software.”

•ThishasbeenexplainedtoWorldBankofficials in themeeting held on March 03, 2010. They have agreed to add a new Clause GCC 38 for this purpose. It has resolved the issue. The document prepared has been helpful in procurement of software in other NAIP Consortia.

Non-availability of high-end statistical package at New SAUs and ICAR Institutes

•Several new SAUs (to name a few Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Thiruvananthapuram; Tamil Nadu Horticultural University, Coimbatore; Lala Lajpat Rai University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Hisar) have been established. Further, there are Agricultural Colleges funded by State Governments affiliated to SAUs in other states/NGOs/ AgriculturalFaculty in other universities (College of Agriculture, PuducherryaffiliatedtoTNAU,Coimbatoreandfundedby Puducherry Government; Sam Higginbottom Institute of Agriculture Technology and Sciences Allahabad, Allahabad; School of Agricultural Sciences and Rural Development, Medziphema Campus, Medziphema under Nagaland University; Institute of Agriculture, Palli Shiksha Bhavan, Visva-Bharati University, Shantiniketan). These organizations were not provided license in the first phase. Requests are being receivedfrom these organizations for providing software licenses. Therefore, it was proposed to procure some licenses for new SAUs and Agricultural Colleges funded by State Governments affiliated toSAUs inother states/NGOs/Agricultural Faculty in other universities, etc. under same terms and conditions of procurement of 2010. This proposal, however, was not approved by Cost Committee of NAIP-PIU.

• It is suggested that these organizations may procure the software from their own funds under same terms and conditions of procurement of 2010.

21. Steps Undertaken for Post NAIP Sustainability- The high end Statistical Computing Package procured with perpetual license can be used till hardware and

operating systems would support the versions available as on June 29, 2013. Hence, the statistical computing environment created would be useful in all future research endeavours. The activities of Strengthening Statistical Computing for NARS are proposed in EFC for XII Plan of IASRI and would be continued in project modefromApril01,2014.Thiswouldfacilitatesmoothimplementationofupdatinglicensefiles,resolvingmaintenance issues and maintenance of service oriented computing modules.

- It has been included in Foundation Course for Agricultural Research Service (FOCARS) training programmes for newly joined scientists and Refresher training programmes for Directly Recruited Senior and Principal Scientists being conducted by NAARM, Hyderabad. This will enable awareness and usability of the resources created under the project. 799 scientists have been sensitized through FOCARS training programme and 211 scientists through Refresher Courses conducted at NAARM, Hyderabad about data analysis using SAS. Further,thenodalofficershavestartedconductingtrainingprogrammesattheirrespectiveorganizationsandthis effort would have a multiplier effect.

- It has been included in (i) CS -621: Software Packages for Statistical Computing (2L+1P) offered to Post Graduate and Doctoral students at NDRI Deemed University, Karnal; (ii) AST 512: SAS Practical offered to M.Sc. (Agriculture) students in College of Agriculture, Padannakkad under Kerala Agricultural University, Thrissur; (iii) being taught in CA 503: Statistical Computing in Agriculture (1L+2P) offered to Post Graduate and Doctoral students at IARI, New Delhi and (iv) Business Analysis with SAS in Post Graduate Diploma in Management (Agriculture). It has also been included in several other practical classes.

22. Possible Future Line of Work (Comments/suggestions of CPI regarding possible future line of work that may be taken up arising out of this sub-project)- As mentioned earlier, the activities of Strengthening Statistical Computing for NARS are proposed in EFC of

XII Plan of IASRI and would be continued in project mode from April 01, 2014. This would facilitate smooth implementationofupdatinglicensefiles,resolvingmaintenanceissuesandmaintenanceofserviceorientedcomputing modules.

- Creation of visualization tools and strengthening of Indian NARS Statistical computing portal by adding more modules of statistical analysis of data to culminate into a service oriented computing resource for standardization of statistical analysis of data generated by researchers in Indian NARS would help for better decision making in AICRP/Network Projects.

- The prototype for automation of All India Coordinated Sorghum Improvement Project needs to be scaled up to cover all AICRPs through a network project for paving the way for developing research data repositories, standardizing the analytical modules and saving on time and resources. A separate network project is being proposed for the same. Already a project in collaboration in AICRP on Vegetable Crops has been initiated.

- Capacity Building in Statistical Concepts and Statistical Computing needs to be pursued on continuing basis either through network project or through Education Division of ICAR in terms of Summer/Winter Schools and Short Courses.
