The National Knowledge Commission, India had submitted recommendations on Open Access (OA) to the Govt. of India in 2007. As per DOAJ, India has 369 journals in 2011 and 74 journals were added during 2012 and as per ROAR, 92 OA repositories have been established. When we look at growth of OA movement in agricultural sciences, it is very slow. In the entire National Agricultural Research System (NARS) of India, very few journals have been transformed/launched as OA journals and only four OA institutional repositories have been established. Only recently, under the National Agricultural Innovation Project, two flagship journals of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) have been transformed into OA journals and efforts are being made to take few other journals on board. Under the National Agricultural Innovation Project (NAIP), two thematic/commodity digital knowledge repositories have been established which would also be housing scholarly materials.
