Subsidy rate for seeds both Rice and Pulses is required to be enhanced considering the present market price of seeds.

All the districts of Assam may be covered under NFSM programme.

Subsidy rate of Rotavator & Sprinkler Sets is to be enhanced up to 50% of the cost.

Provision for machineries like Reaper, Harvester may be made under NFSM to overcome labour crisis and also to reduce the cost of production.

Considering high cost of Hybrid seeds the cost norms of Hybrid Demonstrations may be enhanced.

NFSM-Wheat programme is to be introduced in the state of Assam.
