			== Activities ==
			CICR is a [[center of excellence]] for cotton research and development in India. It focuses on developing crops, production methods, technologies, products, and services to farmers, industries and other research and development organizations.<ref>{{Cite news \|date=2016-04-09 \|title=Not worried if Monsanto quits India: CICR \|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nagpur/not-worried-if-monsanto-quits-india-cicr/articleshow/51749326.cms \|access-date=2025-04-16 \|work=The Times of India \|issn=0971-8257}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web \|title=Mandate – Central Institute for Cotton Research \|url=https://cicr.org.in/about-us/about-cicr-mandate-duplicate-1/ \|access-date=2025-04-16 \|language=en-US}}</ref>

			=== Studies ===

			==== Socio-economic impact assessment of Bt cotton in India ====
			CICR conducted survey of farmers found that cotton production increased by over 9% with the use hybrid Bt cotton seeds, helping India become a net exporter of cotton.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web \|date=2012-06-07 \|title=Cotton output rises by over 9 percent due to Bt seeds \|url=https://www.firstpost.com/business/economy/cotton-output-rises-by-over-9-percent-due-to-bt-seeds-335648.html \|access-date=2025-04-16 \|website=Firstpost \|language=en-us}}</ref> The study on also highlighted that area under cotton has increased by 4.91% in the last 10 years. The survey was done in nine-cotton growing states of Maharashtra, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat.<ref name=":0" /> The survey also indicated to have recorded a zero [[Suicide in India\|suicide]] figure in Karnataka where the figure varied between 1-4 per cent.<ref>{{cite news \|date={{date\|2012\|06\|20}} \|title=Bt Cotton farmers record zero suicide rate in Karnataka \|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bangalore/Bt-Cotton-farmers-record-zero-suicide-rate-in-Karnataka/articleshow/14303043.cms \|accessdate=21 June 2012 \|newspaper=The Times of India}}</ref>

			=== Projects ===
			[[Maharashtra\|Maharashtra Government]] in collaboration with CICR, implemented a pilot project in Vidarbha region, highly prone to farmer suicides; based on a [[Brazil]]ian model to enhance the per-acre yield of cotton while reducing its per-acre cultivation cost. However, Since the Brazilian models are based on straight cotton crops while Indian government promotes the use of [[Bt cotton]] crops, there seemed to arise a contradiction in the policies followed.<ref>{{Cite news \|last=Gadgil \|first=Makarand \|date={{date\|2012\|06\|20}} \|title=Maharashtra govt to test Brazilian model in Vidarbha \|url=https://www.livemint.com/Politics/xzwX0qkz9zSYBp9IHHfwHM/Maharashtra-govt-to-test-Brazilian-model-in-Vidarbha.html \|access-date={{TODAY}} \|work=[[Mint (newspaper)\|Mint]]}}</ref>
