Good potential exists to double the productivity and contributes to world’s food basket from rainfed agriculture
What to do is known but how to do it?What to do is known but how to do it? Poor crop and land management in rainfed
areas
Soils of Rainfed areas are not only thirsty but also hungry
Large scale deficiency of micronutrients is observed resulting in low productivity

Learnings
Timely and well ahead planning increased success and will avoid pressure with clear results
Timely release and availability of funds to districts enhanced commitments of staff which contributed for enhanced impacts
Early identification of target villages, beneficiaries, lead farmers, facilitators and their training is critical for the success
Frequent meetings of the State Co-ordination Committee facilitated the mission project and helped in overcoming the bottlenecks to certain extent
