  1. Bringing Green Revolution to Eastern IndiaandDevelopment of 60,000 villages Continuing with a different approach

  2. Rice Area affected by different stresses in eastern India (lakh ha) Rainfed rice production is low and unstable mainly due to abiotic stresses

  3. Strategy • Promote stress tolerant varieties • Submergence tolerant • Swarna-Sub1 : Assam, UP, Bihar, WB, Orissa • Samba Mahsuri-Sub1 : UP, • IR 64-Sub1 : UP, Orissa, WB • Drought tolerant • Sahbhagidhan : UP, Bihar, Orissa, Jharkhand and Chhatishgarh • Salinity tolerant • CSR-36 : UP & Bihar • Promote recommended package of practices suitable for different rice ecologies • Upland rice • Rainfed Low land rice • Rainfed Deep water rice • Irrigated rice

  4. Program • Technology promotion in compact blocks of 1000 hectares • Rice ecology specific technologies • Emphasis on line sowing/transplantation, land preparation • Hybrid rice promotion • Promotion of resource conservation technologies for wheat crop • Involvement of Progressive farmers • Asset building • Water source development • Shallow tube wells • Borewells and dugwells • Water pump sets • Zero till seed drills • Site specific local needs • Priority to Non NFSM Districts

  5. Financial allocation

  6. Target demonstration units

  7. Physical Targets

  8. Technology components - CRRI Due importance to administration of programs for quality outcome

  9. Technology components of wheat units

  10. Timelines for Kharif Season

  11. Important Milestones

  12. Bouquet of programs Development of 60,000 pulses villages in rainfed areas

  13. Program • Farm pond construction • New Farm ponds • Plastic Lining of old farm ponds • Additional A3P units • More units of same five crops • New pulses crops • Institutional Development • SFAC led creation of farmer producer organization

  14. Targets Physical Financial • 15000 new Farm Ponds • Plastic lining for 15000 Farm ponds • 174 additional units of A3P • e pest surveillance through Master Trainers, Assigned Staff, Scout Farmers • 150 Farmer Producer Organizations

  15. Farm pond program • Financial norms of NHM • Farm pond size as per technical estimates and the subsidy amount to be utilized • Plastic lining at 50 % of the cost subject to ceiling of 20,000 rupees • 30 % of the total number of constructions to be completed by June 2011 • Cluster approach suggested • For ease of mobilization machinery • For creating visible impact • Procedure illustrated in model guidelines as experienced in Maharashtra • Plastic lining only as per the technical advice • Payment of construction and laying of plastic lining to be made to farmers directly

  16. A3P units • Seed minikits and other critical inputs to be supplied by the States • Static pest surveillance by the progressive farmers on 2 to 3 fields • Training through NCIPM to the Master Trainers and in turn to the assigned agriculture officers • Honoraria to the progressive farmer and the agriculture officer interacting weekly with the progressive farmer • Mobility charges to be paid only after getting data sheets and the digital images of the crop health

  17. Timelines for Kharif season

  18. Important milestones

  19. Farmer producer organizations • MD, SFAC to present

  20. To conclude • Programs are focused on achieving exact physical deliverables • Involvement of KVKs, ICAR Scientists, CRRI and SAU scientists ensured for better monitoring • Need to designate senior officer in the State Directorates for exclusive attention • Key messages: Plan well, Forge Partnerships, Assign Responsibility, Monitor closely, Leave rest to the Nature Time to stretch ourselves..
