Brief Introduction

Dr Hari Ram wrote 127 research publications, including 33 (NAAS: 6-10), 7 (NAAS: 10-15), and two (NAAS: 20) having more than 4580 citations with an H-index of 32 and an i10-index of 65. He is involved in evaluation of 40 crop varieties and development of 33 agricultural production technologies. He has handled 14 projects as PI/CoPI. He received the ICAR-Mungbean and Wheat Team/Best Centre Award, three Fellow Awards, the Achievers award, Distinguished Scientist award, the Dr. S. Nagarajan Memorial Award (ICAR) and Fellow award of the Indian Society of Agronomy. He taught 40 courses, guided nine M.Sc/Ph.D students. He gave 31 radio/TV/Facebook live talks. He has organized 107 farmer, 11 rural youth, 19 extension functionaries’ trainings, 33 field days and 310 adaptive trials, and delivered lectures at 15 camps and 31 field days/CAFT/Diploma sponsored by other departments. He has attended 34 national/international conferences in addition to 20 crop workshops. He has participated in 39 Agricultural-Officers workshops and 64 Kisan Melas. He has carried out 854 demonstrations on pulses, oilseeds, wheat, and barley varieties, including bed planting of pulses, happy seeder, no tillage, potassium nitrate/salicylic acid spray for managing heat stress, and agronomic biofortification in wheat.   Professional Accomplishments Research Publications:
