About Us

Our Story

Established in 1982, the Institute for Cultural Research and Action (ICRA) has actively pursued a sustainable development paradigm that acknowledges the significant contributions of local resources, culture, and various elements to overall well-being. Currently, ICRA's efforts are primarily focused on promoting sustainable agriculture for small-scale farmers in rain-fed regions. The organisation collaborates closely with rural communities to foster equitable practices, disseminate knowledge, and enhance initiatives led by community members. ICRA seeks to promote sustainability, resilience, and well-being through these strategies within a comprehensive ecological framework.
