First, let me explain what ICAR stands for. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) is an accreditation given by the Indian Ministry of Agriculture to the best universities in their field. This means that a university has all of the resources in terms of labs, fields, well-qualified and experienced staff, and faculty, and so on. Then, and only then, is this connection granted to that university. Meeting the ICAR criteria is quite challenging for an institution.
