M S Swaminathan Research Foundation

The M S Swaminathan Research Foundation
(MSSRF) was established in 1989 to impart
a pro-nature, pro-poor, pro-women and
pro-sustainable livelihood paradigm of
technology development and dissemination.
The bottom line of its research, education
and outreach programmes is social inclusion
in access to relevant technologies. In order
to get guidance in converting this concept
into action plans at the field level, MSSRF
began in 1990 the practice of organizing an
annual Inter-disciplinary dialogue under the
generic title, “New Technologies : Reaching
the Unreached”.
