    The MSSRF founded by Professor Swaminathan is a leading agricultural research institute in India. It was established in 1988 as a not-for-profit trust, which follows a pro-poor,
    pro-women and pro-nature approach using appropriate, modern science and technology options to address practical problems faced by rural populations in agriculture, food and
    nutrition. MSSRF encourages collaboration and participation of other knowledge-based institutions, public and private sector organizations and local communities.
