My long association, formal and informal , with ICRISAT convinces me that much much more collaboration can be and should be done. The scientists there are more inclined towards the developed country scientists and institutions and see the national scientists as cheap data generators. This statement is without any malice or cynicism. Just objective facts. What is required is a much stronger relationship between CG institutions and the country research organizations.
