Abstract
Rice varietal development programme for rainfed lowland, which occupies 17.2 m ha in India, has lately received attention, compared to irrigated ecosystem. Efforts were intensified only during early nineties through launching different projects, in addition to national and state programmes, to enhance the productivity of this ecosystem. Shuttle breeding programme, a collaborative project between the Indian Council of Agricultural Research and the International Rice Research Institute, Philippines provided an opportunity for flow of breeding materials of diverse origin among the eastern Indian states to strengthen the breeding programme. The materials developed through this project also served as input to the other breeding programmes for this ecosystem. Many promising selections are in advanced stage (F6/F7)
