AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH

INSTITUTE

PRE-THESIS

ANNAPU REDDY VENKATA TARUN

 • INDIA HAS ONE OF THE LARGEST AND INSTITUTIONALLY M OST COM PLEX AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH
INTRO SYSTEMS IN THE WORLD. HOWEVER, SUCH A COM PLEX RESEARCH SYSTEM WAS NOT A SUDDEN
DEVELOPMENT. INSTEAD, HISTORICALLY, IT INVOLVED A PROCESS THAT STARTED IN THE SECOND
HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY DURING THE COLONIAL PERIOD AND EVENTUALLY LED TO THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF THE COUNCIL OF AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH (ICAR) .
• THE ROLE OF ICAR IS AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL IN AIDING, PROMOTING AND COORDINATING
RESEARCH AND EDUCATION ACTI VITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY I S OF SIGNI FICANT I MPORTANCE.
• THUS AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH INSTITUTES PLAYS A MOJOR ROLE IN PASSING THE SOLUTIONS
AND KNOW LEDGE TO THE VARIOUS PROBLEMS FACED BY THE FARM ERS.
• IT RUNS TESTS THROUGH OUT THE SEASONS AND IDENTIFIES THE CHANGES THAT TAKES PLACE AND
PROBLEMS THAT ARE CAUSED DUE TO THE CHANGES.
• IT GIVES AID TO THE AGRICULTURE W HICH IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST STAKE HOLDER OF THE
COUNTRY.
•

JUSTIFICATIO
N • EVEN THOUGH INDIA HAS A LOT OF FARMERS BUT THEY FOLLOW THEIR
HERITAGE TECHNIQUES WHICH ARE NOT VERY USEFULL FOR THE LAND OF
THIS GENERATION DUE TO THE CHANGE IN THE CLIMATE , SOIL, WATER.
• FARMERS ARE GROWING THE SAME CROPS EVERY SEASON TO SUSTAIN
THEIR LIVELIHOODS WHICH AFFECTS THE QUALITY OF THE SOIL. THUS IT IS
TIME TO BREAK THIS CYCLE AND THINK BEYOND THIS STUNTED VISION.
• WHICH LEADS TO THE LESS PRODUCTION AND HEAVY LOSSES TO THE
FARMERS.
• THE FOOD PRODUCTION RATE IS LESS COMPARED TO THE GROWTH RATE OF
THE POPULATION.
• THE YOUTH ARE NOT ATTRACTED TO THIS PROFESSION AS THERE IS
NEITHER GUARANTEE OF INCOME NOR ENOUGH INSTITUTIONS THAT
PROVIDE JOBS.
• IN ANDHRA PRADESH, OUT OF 148 LAKH HECTARES OF CULTIVABLE LAND,
NEARLY 105 LAKH HECTARES IS UNDER RAINFED AGRICULTURE, WITH 65%
AREA UNDER RED SOILS AND 25% AREA UNDER BLACK SOILS
• AS THE POLLUTION INCRESES AGRICULTURE EFFECTS A LOT WHICH LEADS
TO GET POLLUTED FOOD.
• THIS PROJECT WILL HELP THE SOCIETY TO RISE THE AWARENESS OF
AGRICULTURE AND ITS INCOME TO GOVERNMENT.
• TO REDUCE THE POLLUTED FOOD AND TO INCREASE TRAINING OF THE
FUTURE FARMERS
• SO THE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE CONDUCTS RESEARCH  TO
CREATE AND TRANSFER KNOWLEDGE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
PRIMARY SECTOR AND TO SOLVE PROBLEMS AT THE FARMER'S LEVEL.
• THE RESEARCH RESULTS ARE TRANSFERRED TO STAKEHOLDERS THROUGH
MODERN EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND DISSEMINATION TOOLS.

 AIM

• TO DESIGN A AGRICULTURE RESEARCH INSTITUTE OF GOOD STANDARDS WHICH

PROVIDES A SOLUTION FOR THE PEOPLE ON HOW TO GROW CROPS AND PLANTS
IN THE SEVERE CONDITIONS.

OBJECTIVE
S
• TO ESTABLISH A VENUE FOR DEVELOPING INNOVATIONS TO PROMOTE
AGRICULTURE AND CULTURE DEVELOPMENT.
• FOCUS ON A PROGRAM ORIENTED RESEARCH INSTITUTE.
• TO ENSURE IT’S A WELL CONNECTED CAMPUS.
• TO INCREASE THE GREEN EDIFICE OF THE CITY THAT HAS FACED A
TRANSFORMATION INTO A CONCRETE JUNGLE.
• TO GICE THE REGION A NEW DISTINCTIVE ATMOSPHERE.
• TO INTEGRATE AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH ON HOW POLICES CAN BE MORE
RELEVANT TO THE SITUATION OF LOW INCOME REGIONS
• TO UTILIZE THE INFLUENCE OF BIOCLIMATIC ARCHITECTURE ON THE
ECONOMIC AND ENERGETIC EFFICIENCIES THAT WILL BE INCORPORATED
IN THE FARMING.
• TO PROVIDE GOOD FACILITIES FOR ACCOMMODATION FOR THE STAFF AND
OTHER LEARNERS OF AGRICULTURE.
• TO PROVIDE MORE JOB OPPERTUNITIES TO THE PEOPLE.
• TO CREATE A DESIGN WHICH IS RESOPNSIVE TO THE NATURE.

GREEN BUILDING

DESCRIPTION
• GREEN BUILDINGS ARE DESIGNED TO REDUCE THE OVERALL IMPACT OF THE BUILT
ENVIRONMENT ON HUMAN HEALTH AND THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT BY: EFFICIENTLY
USING ENERGY, WATER, AND OTHER RESOURCES.
• PROTECTING OCCUPANT HEALTH AND IMPROVING EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY. BY
REDUCING WASTE, POLLUTION AND ENVIRONMENT DEGRADATION.
• INCORPORATING ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS AND RESOURCE EFFICIENCY INTO
EVERY STEP OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT AND HOME BUILDING PROCESS TO MINIMIZE
IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT.

PURPOSE
• REDUCE ENERGY COSTS.
• IMPROVE AIR QUALITY.
• IMPROVE THE USE OF MATERIALS AND RESOURCES USED IN THE BUILDINGS PRODUCTION.
• WATER EFFICIENCY.
• RECYCLING WASTES AND RE-USING THEM.
14
 FEATURES

• SITE SELECTION AND STRUCTURE DESIGN EFFICIENCY.

• ENERGY EFFICIENCY.
• WATER EFFICIENCY.
• MATERIALS EFFICIENCY. 
• INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ENHANCEMENT. 
• OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE OPTIMIZATION.
• WASTE AND TOXICS REDUCTION.

ADVANTAGE
S
• THEY ARE ENERGY EFFICIENT, HENCE USE LESS ENERGY.
• THEY USE NATURAL FORMS OF ENERGY LIKE GEOTHERMAL, SOLAR OR WIND TECHNOLOGIES.
• LESS ENERGY USED TRANSLATES INTO A SMALLER ‘CARBON FOOTPRINT’.
• RECYCLED MATERIALS LIKE RECLAIMED TIMBER AND BAMBOO WOOD FLOORS ARE USED.
• DESIGNING GREEN BUILDINGS ALSO TAKE IN TO ACCOUNT LANDSCAPING WHICH REDUCES THE NEED OF IRRIGATION.
• GREEN BUILDINGS ALSO MANAGE THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS TO MAKE SURE THAT ANY WATERWAYS REMAIN UNPOLLUTED
WITH CONSTRUCTION BY-PRODUCTS.
• GREEN BUILDINGS ALSO LEND THEMSELVES TO A BETTER WORK ENVIRONMENT. 
• THEY GENERALLY INCLUDE THE USE OF NATURAL DAY LIGHT, BIG WINDOWS AND GOOD INDOOR AIR CIRCULATION,
DRAMATICALLY INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY AND REDUCE ABSENTEEISM.
