The RARS is well- poised and waiting on its wings to develop as a Knowledge Centre for Agriculture in the High range region. Intensive research programmes will be taken up in black pepper, ginger, sub-topical fruits, scented rice and ornamental plants. Model units for precision farming, high-density orchard and cut flower production will be established soon.
