• To evolve short duration genotypes, tolerance to drought, salinity and water logging conditions and use them in breeding / selection of better genotypes.
• To assess agronomical requirements for higher quantitative and qualitative gains from the newly developed genotypes.
• To ascertain plant production and protection package for getting higher quantitative and qualitative gains from the newly developed genotypes.
• Breeder / Nucleus seed production of the released and newly developed closed / semi-open varieties / genotypes of herbaceum cotton.
• Collection, evaluation and maintenance of indigenous and exotic Germplasm of cotton.
• Dissemination of the technology of deshi cotton to the farmers.

SORGHUM:
