The Central Tobacco Research Institute (CTRI) in Rajamahendravaram is set to undergo a significant transformation into the National Institute of Research on Commercial Agriculture (NIRCA). This change in focus aims to shift from traditional tobacco research to high-value commercial crops like medicinal plants, floriculture, and aromatic plants. The move is part of a broader initiative to diversify agricultural research and reduce dependency on tobacco, aligning with global trends towards sustainable and diversified farming practices. The institute will now emphasize on developing technologies for these new crops, enhancing their cultivation, and exploring their commercial potential. This transformation is expected to benefit farmers by providing them with alternative, high-value crop options, thereby potentially increasing their income and supporting the agricultural economy in a more sustainable manner.
