The aim is to combine tested methods of crop commodity research with well established practices in research in natural resources management. The original goal was to use crop improvement research as the basis to improve food availability in drought-prone areas of the tropics. In the last ten years, ICRISAT research, especially in India, China, the Philippines and Vietnam, has tended to emphasise creation and sustenance of rural livelihoods in addition to releasing crop varieties that yield better.

ICT
ICT (Information and Communication Technology) is an extensional term for information technology (IT) that stresses the role of unified communications and the integration of telecommunications ( telephone lines and wireless signals), computers as well as necessary enterprise software, middleware, storage, and audio-visual systems, which enable users to access, store, transmit, and manipulate information.The term ICT is also used to refer to the convergence of audio-visual and telephone networks with computer networks through a single cabling or link system.

IGVET
The Indo-German programme for Vocational Education and Training (IGVET)
More than 250 million young people are expected to join the Indian labour market in the next 15 years. At the same time, India’s ambition to become a globally leading manufacturing hub requires sufficient, qualified workers. The current vocational education and training (VET) system however does not deliver a workforce of adequate quality and quantity, causing a shortage of skilled workers that threatens to undermine efforts of the industry to innovate and to enhance productivity.
Acknowledging the advantages of the German VET model, the Ministry for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) has signed an implementation agreement with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), to jointly implement the Indo-German Programme for Vocational Education and Training (IGVET).
The objective of IGVET is to bring the actors of the public and private sectors together to jointly achieve conditions conducive to developing and improving a cooperative, workplace-based VET system.
Following a cluster approach, the IGVET provides advisory services and guidance to local business membership associations to pilot high-quality, cooperative, workplace-based VET programmes in selected industries and locations. Based on this on-the-ground experience, replicable models for cooperative VET would be documented and reform recommendations derived. As of now, the IGVET is present in three industrial clusters: the energy efficient construction cluster in Bhiwadi, Rajasthan, the electronics and manufacturing cluster in Bangalore, Karnataka and the automotive components cluster in Aurangabad, Maharashtra.
IIS
IIS Indian Institute of Skills - The government approved a scheme for setting up of Indian Institute of Skills (IISs) at different locations across the country in public private partnership (PPP).

Industrial Relations
Industrial relations or employment relations is the multidisciplinary academic field that studies the employment relationship; that is, the intricate interrelations between employers and employees, labour/ trade unions, employer organizations and the state.The newer name, "employment relations" is increasingly taking precedence because "industrial relations" is often seen to have relatively narrow connotations. Nevertheless, Industrial Relations has often been concerned with employment relationships in the vast sense, including "non-industrial" employment relationships. This is sometimes seen as paralleling trend in the separate but related disciple of human resource management. In recent times, industrial relations has been in decline as a field, in correlation with the decline in importance of trade unions and also with the increasing preference of business schools for the human resource management paradigm.Industrial relations has three faces: science building, problem solving, and ethical.
Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0 is a name given to the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. It includes cyber-physical systems, the Internet of things, cloud computing and cognitive computing. Industry 4.0 is commonly referred to as the fourth industrial revolution.Industry 4.0 fosters what has been called a "smart factory". Within modular structured smart factories, cyber-physical systems monitor physical processes, create a virtual copy of the physical world and make decentralized decisions. Over the Internet of Things, cyber-physical systems communicate and cooperate with each other and with humans in real-time both internally and across organizational services offered and used by participants of the value chain.

Informal Economy
Informal Economy ( or unorganized economy )-The informal sector, informal economy, or grey economy is the part of an economy that is neither taxed nor monitored by any form of government. Unlike the formal economy, activities of the informal economy are not included in a country's gross national product (GNP) or gross domestic product (GDP). The informal sector can be described as a grey market in labour.Other concepts that can be characterized as informal sector can include the black market (shadow economy, underground economy), agorism, and System D. Associated idioms include "under the table", "off the books", and "working for cash".Although the informal sector makes up a significant portion of the economies in developing countries, it is often stigmatized as troublesome and unmanageable. However, the informal sector provides critical economic opportunities for the poor and has been expanding rapidly since the 1960s. Integrating the informal economy into the formal sector is an important policy challenge.

Intern
Intern - A student or trainee who works, sometimes without pay, in order to gain work experience or satisfy requirements for a qualification.An advanced student or graduate usually in a professional field (such as medicine or teaching) gaining supervised practical experience (as in a hospital or classroom).
Internship
INTERNSHIP - An internship is a period of work experience offered by an organization for a limited period of time.Once confined to medical graduates, the term is now used for a wide range of placements within businesses, non-profit organizations and government agencies. They are typically undertaken by students and graduates looking to gain relevant skills and experience in a particular field. Employers benefit from these placements because they often recruit employees from their best interns, who have known capabilities, thus saving time and money in the long run.Internships for professional careers are similar in some ways, but not as rigorous as apprenticeships for professions, trade, and vocational jobs.[2] The lack of standardization and oversight leaves the term "internship" open to broad interpretation. Interns may be high school students, college and university students, or postgraduate adults. These positions may be paid or unpaid and are temporary.Typically, an internship consists of an exchange of services for experience between the intern and the organization. Internships are used to determine if the intern still has an interest in that field after the real-life experience. In addition, an internship can be used to create a professional network that can assist with letters of recommendation or lead to future employment opportunities. The benefit of bringing an intern into full-time employment is that they are already familiar with the company, their position, and they typically need little to no training. Internships provide current college students the ability to participate in a field of their choice to receive hands on learning about a particular future career, preparing them for full-time work following graduation.
