Work continued on the ICRISAT water tower, which will become the Center's most distinguishing landmark. In 1974 and 1975 ICRISAT, with the financial assistance of U N D P and the USAID, placed 14 scientists in the Sahelian Zone of West Africa to work at national research stations on sorghum and millet improvement. This year we were able to complement that team by additional researchers in two Sahelian countries and in the Sudan. Our scientists add strength to on-going work in the countries where indigenous scientists are few in relation to the needs. 7
As the result of the work done during its first 5 years, ICRISAT has reached the stage, where it will be increasingly in a position to offer results which can be applied in farmers' fields. However, the data from which extension recommendations are made to farmers must be carefully analyzed with reference to socioeconomic and sociocultural factors which influence the feasibility of adoption of the recommended practices in different areas. Recognizing this situation, the Govern- Construction began on the ICRISAT auditorium in the general administrative complex. Occupation of the new quarters is expected to be possible near the end of 1978. 8
