The case focuses on an agricultural institute, ICRISAT (International Crops Research Institute for the Semi Arid Tropics), a part of international agricultural research consortium, CGIAR. Since its inception in 1972, ICRISAT has been a premier agricultural research institute with enormous international and national funding. Mismanagement and indifferent attitude of senior leadership at the top had resulted in multiple crises in organizational functioning and reduced funding by the donors. In addition to this, ICRISAT had to cope with an unfortunate chain of changes in leadership. ICRISAT had to undergo a difficult period of management changes and decline in the morale of the staff. The institute was facing daunting challenges when Dr. William Dar joined the institute as the director general. The case describes the various issues faced by Dar when he took over the reins of ICRISAT. The case also discusses his previous stints in various designations and the style of leadership displayed by him during those tenures. The case concludes by presenting the problem of revival of ICRISAT.
