Training <strong>of</strong> scientists and research technicians<br />
Two one-month training courses on “Chickpea Breeding and Seed Production” were organized at<br />
ICRISAT-Patancheru. The first course was organized during Jan-Feb 2008 and the second course during<br />
Jan-Feb 2009. Twelve researchers (9 men + 3 women) from the NARS <strong>of</strong> Ethiopia, Tanzania and Kenya<br />
participated (Table 16). The topics covered included conventional and biotechnological (genomic and<br />
transgenic) approaches <strong>of</strong> chickpea improvement and improved practices <strong>for</strong> chickpea cultivation<br />
and seed production. The participants also had opportunity to visit other organizations in Hyderabad<br />
working on seed-related research, seed production, and seed quality testing.<br />
