I was introduced to YPARD by Dr. Sridhar Gutam, senior colleague at the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (New Delhi), former YPARD India representative, in 2012, through his initiatives and activities for promotion of Open Access in Science and networking with the agricultural students and scientists of National Agricultural Research System, to build a strong network for YPARD India Chapter; and since then, I have been following eagerly the activities and updates on YPARD.
