The document presents the status, survey results, and recommendations regarding project monitoring and evaluation (PME) in the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). It highlights the existence of PME cells, identifies constraints such as weak professional backup and the need for administrative skills, and provides recommendations for institutionalization and enhancing functional excellence. The report underscores the importance of integrating PME practices into the core operations of research institutions to better address national priorities and farmers' needs.
