About DRMR
The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) established the National Research Centre
on Rapeseed-Mustard (NRCRM) on October 20, 1993, to carry out basic, strategic and applied
research on rapeseed-mustard. Besides, generating basic knowledge and material, it also engages
in developing ecologically sound and economically viable agro production and protection
technologies. The Centre has also the responsibility to plan, coordinate and execute the research
programmes through wide network of 22 main and sub-centres across the country, to augment
the production and productivity of rapeseed-mustard.
In February 2009, the ICAR re-designated NRCRM as the Directorate of Rapeseed Mustard
Research (DRMR). The DRMR functions as a fulcrum to support the production system research
for rapeseed (Brown sarson, yellow sarson, toria, taramira, gobhi sarson) and mustard (black
mustard, Ethiopian mustard and Indian mustard) group of crops through research, service and
support units
