Abstract
Twenty years down the line since the Earth Summit held in 1992, international community met again at Rio de Janeiro and reviewed the progress of time-bound commitments made under the United Nations Agenda for the 21st century (Agenda 21).
Gratefully acknowledge Dr. S. Ayyappan, Secretary (DARE) and Director General, ICAR for the all possible opportunity and encouragement provided to me for pursuing my professional interest in the agrobiodiversity/PGR field.
