Moreover to accelerate agricultural development, it is necessary to protect plants breeders' rights to stimulate investment for research and development for the development of new plant varieties.</p> <p>Such protection is likely to facilitate the growth of the seed industry which will ensure the availability of high quality seeds and planting material to the farmers. India having ratified the Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of the Intellectual Property Rights has to make provision for giving effect to Agreement. To give effect to the aforesaid objectives the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers' Rights Act, 2001 has been enacted in India.</p> <p>For the purposes of this Act, Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers' Rights Authority has been established and is located at:</p> <p> NASC Complex,<br /> DPS Marg,<br /> Opp- Todapur,<br /> New Delhi-110 012.</p></td> </tr> </table> <!-- InstanceEndEditable --> </td> <td width="164" valign="top"><div class="clear"></div> <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="Menu" --> <div id="box"> <h1>PPV &amp; FR AUTHORITY </h1> <ul> <li><a href="about-authority.htm" target="_parent">About PPV&amp;FR Authority </a></li> <li><a href="the-chairperson.htm" target="_parent">About the Chairperson </a></li> <li><a href="members-of-authority.htm" target="_parent">About the Members of the Authority</a></li> <li><a href="employees-of-authority.htm" target="_parent">About the Employees of the Authority</a></li> <li><a href="task-force/task-force2.htm" target="_parent">Task Force</a></li> <li><a href="committe.htm" target="_parent">Committee</a></li> <li><a href="dusmonitor.htm" target="_parent">DUS Monitoring Team</a></li> <li><a href="dustestrabi08.htm" target="_parent">DUS Test (On Going)</a></li> <li><a href="library/library0.htm" target="_parent">Library of the Authority</a></li> </ul> </div> <!-- InstanceEndEditable --> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <div class="clear"></div> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <div class="footer"><table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td><iframe scrolling="no" src="bottom.htm" width="776" height="41" frameborder="0"></iframe></td></tr> </table></div> <map name="Map" id="Map"><area shape="rect" coords="52,6,89,19" target="_parent" alt="English" onclick="english()"/> <area shape="rect" coords="6,5,40,20" target="_parent" alt="Hindi" onclick="hindi()" /> </map> </body> <!-- InstanceEnd --></html>
