Abstract

Professor Swaminathan was eager that the Philippines have its own rice research programme and his assistance to the Philippines Government in this regard culminated in the establishment of the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice). An important area of IRRI’s activity been the development of the capacities of national rice research systems. As part of this effort, IRRI trained large numbers of people from all over the world. Professor Swaminathan decided that training would be combined with technology transfer, and established a new Training and Technology Transfer Division (TTTD) at IRRI. After he left IRRI, the Board of Trustees decided to dedicate the building to him, and the multi-storey TTTD is now called the “Swaminathan Hall.”
