\nThe Indian Council of Agricultural Research is not the national implementing entity for the National Adaptation Fund for Climate Change.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe National Adaptation Fund for Climate Change (NAFCC) is a Central Sector Scheme fully funded by the Union Government. It was launched in August 2015 (thus in force since 2015-16) to support adaptation measures to climate change in vulnerable sectors and regions. The fund assists national and State level activities for this purpose. The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) acts as the National Implementing Entity (NIE) for the NAFCC, responsible for implementing adaptation projects under the fund. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) is the country’s premier body for coordinating, guiding, and managing research and education in agriculture, but it is not the NIE for the NAFCC.
\n<\/section>\n
\nNABARD’s role as NIE involves identifying potential projects, appraising proposals, disbursing funds, and monitoring project implementation. ICAR contributes valuable research and expertise, particularly for climate change adaptation in agriculture, but it does not manage the NAFCC fund directly as the implementing entity.
