Agricultural Research Management System 2.0 (ARMS 2.0) is an important tool developed and implemented in ICAR for agricultural research management and monitoring on real time basis. In this system each scientist needs to upload his or her scientific achievements in various categories such as Research Projects, Technology, IPRs, Capacity Building Activities, Publications (Books and Journals), Awards etc. The information submitted by the scientists needs to be vetted by institute nodal officer nominated by the same or reporting officer of the scientist. This system will be used for information management and evaluation of scientific research of the council apart from generation of various reports at different levels. System has inbuilt mechanism to connect to Online APAR (SPARROW), PMS and KRISHI portal of ICAR to assist scientists to fill in their achievements conveniently.

All scientists of ICAR would need to enter the information into the system only once, this would save the scientist from the hassle to provide information multiple times for different reporting requirements. System will have provision to provide information in various report formats (Progress report of Division/ Institute/ SMD/ Annual report material of Institute). In future, information generated from this system will also be linked with different dashboards of Government of India.
