NCAP has been established by the Indian Council of Agricultural
Research (ICAR) with a view to upgrading agricultural economics research through integration of economic input in planning, designing, and evaluation of agricultural research programs and strengthening the competence in agricultural policy analysis within the Council. The Centre is assigned a leadership role in this area not only for various ICAR
Institutes but also for the State Agricultural Universities. With a view to making agricultural research a more effective instrument for agricultural and rural change and strengthening the policy making and planning machinery, the Centre undertakes and sponsors research in agricultural economics relating to the problems of regional and national importance.
