The development of the Catchment Resilience Index (CRI) is a key component of a broader initiative backed by ICAR, along with its centers ICAR-CRIDA and ICAR-IIWM, aimed at enhancing agricultural resilience through disaster risk management strategies in India. This initiative is being implemented by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI).
The project aims to develop an innovative co-design and co-implement process with diverse stakeholders on the importance of CRI for catchment planning and rehabilitation to guide integrated climate risk management.
