Executive Summary

Background

The National Food Security Mission (NFSM) is a continuing Centrally Sponsored

Scheme being implemented since XI Plan (2007-08). The monitoring of NFSM is

being carried out at National Level by a dedicated NFSM cell consisting of Project

Management Team, a dynamic web portal, reward procedure, review by Crop

Development Directorates (CDD’s) of the Department of Agriculture, Cooperation

and Farmers Welfare. Besides at Central Government level, Scheme is also

monitored by National Food Security Mission General Council (NFSM-GC) headed

by Union Agriculture & Farmers Welfare Minister and National Food Security

Mission Executive Committee (NFSM-EC) headed by Secretary (Agriculture,

Cooperation & Farmers Welfare). At State level, Scheme is being monitored by State

Food Security Mission Executive Committee (SFSMEC) headed by Chief Secretary

and at district level by District Food Security Mission Executive Committee

(DFSMEC) headed by District Magistrate/Collector.

The impact of NFSM under XI Plan indicated that Mission has helped in widening the

food basket of the country with sizeable contributions coming from NFSM districts.

The focused and target oriented interventions implemented under mission initiatives

had resulted in increased production of rice, wheat and pulses. 34 Million tonnes of

additional production of total food grains against the target of 20 million tonnes were

achieved at the end of 11th Five Year Plan against the normal production at the

beginning of the 11th Five Year Plan. The various interventions of the mission have

been instrumental in bringing about significant yield gain to the farmers resulting in

increase in their income level.

The success NFSM during XI plan lead to its continuation during XII plan (2012-13

to 2016-17) period, wherein Coarse Cereals and Commercial Crops were also

included besides more districts under pulses were covered. During XII Five Year

Plan under NFSM, cropping system approach was adopted by including commercial

crops viz., cotton, jute and sugarcane to meet the demand for both food and cash

crops in 19 states.

A. Target and Achievements of XII Plan

During XII plan as against a target of 25 Million tonnes of additional food grains

production, the total food grains production is 275.68 million tonnes at the end of

XII plan. The increase was robust in all crops as detailed below

B. Key Findings

The Impact Evaluation Study Team strongly recommends for the continuation

of NFSM, as it has the potential of achieving the set goals of increased food

production and benefitting the farming community with higher yields and

income.

A separate mission for millets may be constituted in view of reduction in its

area and growing awareness of nutritional benefit of millets.

Ensure PMTs in place for desired results and impacts (Majority NFSM districts

have not engaged). It is recommended that for proper monitoring of the

scheme and to enable transfer of technology to farmers, provision of

consultants and technical assistants at state and district levels may be

provided in PMT. If needed qualification and experience should also be relaxed

as per rule. Also a provision for accountant and computer operator must be

provided in PMT in view of implementation of DBT.

Enhance research support dove tailing farmer’s needs-Crop(s)/location specific

as also there is need to enhance FLD’s funding by at least Rs.1000 per ha.

Funding for Plant Protection chemicals, Bio-pesticides and weedicides need

enhancement upto Rs. 1000 per ha due to increase in prices. This can also be

addressed in local initiatives

Encourage post-harvest, value addition at farm/rural level to reduce post

harvest losses and improve rural economy and employment by organizing

farmers into FIGs, CIGs, FPOs and Farmer Federations.

Use of micronutrient and lime should be promoted in accordance with the soil

health card being provided to the farmers.

C. Farmers views/ Perceptions

Main problem faced by farmers these days is marketing their produce. They are

demanding regional prices for their produce, especially pulses and paddy. There

are no proper storage facilities.

The farm work has reduced to a great extent after the introduction of farm

equipment’s like-Power Operated Sprayers, Cono-weeders etc. Use of chemicals

has been reduced in pest control to a great extent.

Farmers of Gujarat expect minimum 50% subsidy on total cost of seeds and

machinery.

There should be interventions which protect the crop from wild animals, as this is

a recurring problem faced across all farmers in the states of Gujarat and Andhra

Pradesh. Protection of crops from wild animal is equally important and should

have a separate component under NFSM.

HYV rice shows good yield but some of the indigenous varieties are preferred by

farmers of Mizoram since they taste better and have greater market

acceptability.

Value addition will encourage the beneficiaries towards extension of farms.

Machineries in accordance with the crops and landscape is very helpful which

has resulted in saving time, energy and labour cost.

The selection of crops should be done as per the farmers suggestions rather

than the crops selected under demonstration area to judge the impact.

4. Summary of Issues & Recommendations- Crop-wise

i) Rice

The average rice area of the country during XII plan period decreased

marginally by 0.11 million ha. as compared to XI plan period.

Production has increased by 9.14 million tons due to productivity hike by 215

kg/ha.

Rice production can be further increased by expansion of area and increasing

the productivity by reducing the yield gap.

Strengthening the role of PRIs in the selection of beneficiaries is required in

Bihar, Jharkhand, Manipur, Mizoram, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra.

Display boards have to be erected in CFLDs of South 24 Parganas of West

Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura, Himachal

Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh.

Organization of Field days is to be ensured in Manipur, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh

and Gujarat. Care must be taken in attendance of scientists from SAUs and

KVKs during field days by providing some incentives in the form of T.A. and

D.A. Participation of Agril. Department officials in Andhra Pradesh and

Telangana needs to be addressed.

Soil fertility status has to be assessed prior to laying out the demonstrations in

Nagaland, Himachal Pradesh and Maharashtra.

Trainings for capacity building have to be intensified in Manipur, Mizoram,

Nagaland, Tripura, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Gujarat.

Involvement of NGOs need to be addressed in many of the states except,

Bihar, Jharkhand, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura and Telangana.

Rice-pulses cropping system FLDs should be organized as a collaborative

activity by Research institutes of both the crops.



7



Direct seeded rice, alternate wetting and drying and aerobic rice need more

FLDs and more spread

ii) Wheat

XII Plan average wheat area of the country increased by 1.95 m. ha. over XI

plan period. But the production hike for the entire country is only 8.95 m. tons.

meeting 112% of NFSM target due to increased productivity by 104 kg/ha. The

average yield of 11 states under NFSM showed significant increase.

Role of PRIs in the selection of beneficiaries needs to be increased in many of

the sampled districts except Gopalganj and Nalanda districts of Bihar and

Amritsar and Gurdaspur of Punjab. Beneficiaries recommended by others may

be discouraged in Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Gujarat states.

Display boards were not erected in upto 14% in Hissar, 20% in Jhajjar and 24%

in Mewat of Haryana, 33% in Hamirpur, 27% in Kangra and 30% in Una of

Himachal Pradesh, 20% in Jammu and 28% in Samba of Jammu & Kashmir,

11% in Baharaich, 20% in Balrampur, 9% in Chitrakoot and 2% in Deoriya of

Uttar Pradesh and 9% in Nagpur district of Maharashtra,. This needs to be

taken care as it helps social audit and technology dissemination

Norms and guidelines of NFSM activities in CFLDs of Chitrakoot district of Uttar

Pradesh are to be strictly followed including the supply of quality seed.

Assessment of soil fertility status is to be taken up in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh

and Uttarakhand for all CFLDs. Micronutrients application should be based on

deficiency.

Zero tillage, rotavator, salt tolerant varieties and sprinkler/drip irrigation

intervention in no. of FLDs and CFLDs across the states showed appreciable

yield advantage. Hence these interventions may be continued and in addition

Happy seeder developed by PAU, Ludhiana which was found as a promising

technology for paddy straw management may also be included.

iii) Pulses

94.5% of the target by NFSM was achieved in respect of pulses production

during XII plan period. As compared to XI plan, XII plan period showed increase

by 1.31 m. ha., 1.95 m.t. and 117 kg/ha. in the average area, production and

yield , respectively.



8



Role of PRIs should be encouraged in Ganjam, Jagatsinghpur and Keonjhar

districts of Odisha, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Chhatisgarh, Haryana,

Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala

and Maharashtra states. The selection of beneficiaries through

recommendations, which was found upto 3.55% for pulses should be

discouraged.

Sulphur application needs to be promoted particularly in many of the districts

except Gomati of Tripura and Betul district of Madhya Pradesh.

Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Manipur, Tripura, Jammu & Kashmir and Betul

district of Madhya Pradesh should take care of erecting display boards.

Out of 29 states, only five states (Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra,

Uttar Pradesh and Karnataka) account for about 80 % of total pulse production

in India and 11 states production share is about 90 %. 15 states (Madhya

Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh,

Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Odisha, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, Jharkhand, West

Bengal and Haryana) constitute 98.4% of the total area under pulses

,accounting for 98.2% of the total pulse production in the country. Therefore, to

enhance the pulse production of the country, NFSM activities may be

concentrated in these 15 states, more intensively in the first 5 states and the

remaining 14 states may be withdrawn from conducting CFLDs on pulses.

Government has to develop rural processing units

Potential of markets should be harnessed through Value chain approach right

from the production at farm level and (encompassing post-harvest, processing,

packaging, transportation) to marketing for small and marginal farmers to

reduce losses/wastages and increase income

Punjab can introduce summer moong in late May before sowing rice.

According to an estimate, the post-harvest losses in pulses, from harvesting to

yield and storage to transport varies from 25 to 30%. Weight losses in pulses

take place mainly due to prolonged action of pests (insects, birds, rodents), or

due to leakage of products (perforated bags, spillage during grain handling etc.)

and can occur at any stage during harvest, storage and transport or handling. If

this loss is reduced by 50%, an additional 1.5 to 2.0 m. tones of pulses grains

will be available which is almost equivalent to current import.



9



Dal mills and processing facilities should be encouraged within the vicinity of

production areas, which will promote off-farm employment. Pretreatment,

grading, cleaning and processing centers may be included under NFSM

scheme.

iv) Coarse Cereals

The average area under coarse cereals by the end of XII plan period decreased

by 2.82 m.ha. compared to XI plan period. The decrease is not significant.

Though Manipur (107.40%), Tripura (104.71%), West Bengal (45.12%) and

Assam (26.36%) showed increase in coarse cereals area, many of the states

recorded decrease in area ranging from -0.27% to -88.13%. Therefore, National

average during XII plan under coarse cereals has decreased. Average Coarse

Cereals production for country in XII plan recorded an increase of 1.81 m.t.

compared to XI plan. This increase of 1.81 m.t. of coarse cereals against the

NFSM target of 3 m.t. accounts for 60.3%. Nearly 2/3rd of the target was met.

Apart from area decrease, carrying out the envisaged activities of NFSM in

Coarse Cereals at slow pace is the reason for failure to achieve the target in

full. Although states like Assam showed 283.83% increase in coarse cereals

production, National average is only 4.53% increase as many states recorded

decreased production.

The Role of PRIs should be ensured in all the four Eastern states in the process

of selection of beneficiaries. PRIs role should also be increased in Western and

Northern states in case of CFLDs on Coarse Cereals.

Erection of Display Boards is to be taken up in Bishnupur and Imphal East

districts of Manipur, Khowai and North Tripura districts of Tripura, Hisar, Mewat

and Rewari districts of Haryana, Hamirpur, Mandi and Una of Himachal

Pradesh, Rajouri and Udhampur of Jammu & Kashmir, Dhar and Rajgarh of

Madhya Pradesh, Hathras and Jalaun of Uttar Pradesh, Tihari of Uttarakhand,

Belgaum, Chitradurga and Tumkur of Karnataka, Banaskantha and Chota

Udaipur of Gujarat and Usmanabad of Maharashtra.

Field days should be organized in all the demonstrations in N.C. Hills of Assam,

Bishnupur and Imphal East of Manipur, East Khasi Hills of Meghalaya, Khwai

and North Tripura of Tripura, Hamirpur of Himachal Pradesh, Dhar and Rajgarh

districts of Madhya Pradesh, Hatharas and Jalaun districts of Uttar Pradesh.



10



Capacity building activities should be geared up particularly in Assam, Manipur,

Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu in demonstrations on coarse

cereals.

v) Commercial Crops

Cotton

Average area, production and yield of cotton during XII plan in the country as

compared to averages of XI plan period were found to increase by 14.38% (1.51

M. ha.), 19.69% (33.60 M. bales of 170 Kgs. each) and 4.65% (0.21 Qntl/ha.),

respectively. In addition to these increases, NFSM contributed its might on

getting additional income through inter crops (pulses and oil seeds) in cotton by

the farmers as already indicated in the analysis due to NFSM interventions.

Focus should be made for involvement of PRIs for the selection of beneficiaries

in Maharashtra.

Number of FLDs on Desi/ELS cotton may be reduced in all the districts except

Hissar, as the yields of FLDs were less than those of non-beneficiaries.

Intercropping with pulses and oilseeds may be encouraged through number of

demonstrations.

Number of farmers did not evince interest in taking up FLDs on HDPS due to

non-availability of compact and semi-compact non-Bt varieties and implements

for intercultural operations and picking suited for HDPS. Till these requirements

are met, HDPS may be withdrawn under NFSM.

Climate smart technologies and precision farming practices have to be

encouraged for cotton.

Jute

The area under jute in the country during XII plan decreased by 6.85% as

compared to XI plan. Many farmers in West Bengal, Odisha and Bihar states

opted other crops due to difficulties in retting process. Production showed

increase by 0.09 M. Bales . Nevertheless the yield increased by 0.19. T/ha.

which accounted for change of 8.29% in the country. NFSM farmers had the

benefit of achieving additional income through inter crops.

Selection of beneficiaries in Gomati district of Tripura through recommendation

by others should be discouraged. PRIs should be actively involved for the



11



selection of beneficiaries in Purnea district of Bihar and Cuttack district of

Odisha.

Display boards should be ensured in all the FLDs of Tripura

Field days are to be organized in Meghalaya and Tripura

There is need for promotion of community retting tanks.

Traditional retting tanks/ponds are to renovated.

Need for promotion of fungal retting in addition to bacterial retting.

Promotion of Jute fiber extracting machine (CRIJAF) since it’s difficult and time

consuming to remove fiber after retting.

Sugarcane

When XII plan averages are compared with those of XI plan in respect of area,

production and productivity, the area under sugarcane in the country increased

by 0.16 M. ha. accounting for change of 0.03%. The production was found to

increase by 16.38 m.t. which worked out to 0.05%. The Yield was also found to

increase by 1.07 M.t/ha. Farmers with NFSM demonstrations had the benefit of

additional income through inter crops and single bud technology and also with

the supply of tissue culture seedlings besides imparting trainings.

PRIs in Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra should be involved in the

selection of beneficiaries.

Beneficiaries under SC and ST are to be selected following the norms of NFSM

in all the sampled districts.

Erection of display boards are to be ensured in all FLDs in Haryana and

Uttarakhand.

Scientists from SAUs and KVKs should be involved for visiting FLDs during the

crop season.

Supply of Bio-pesticides and Pheromone traps is to be promoted.

NGOs involvement should be ensured in FLDs of Haryana, Uttarakhand and

Maharashtra.



12



The duration of the training programme in sugarcane may be increased to

atleast 3 days from the present 2 days as many of the participants expressed

that they will have adequate time to expose themselves to the recent

technologies through theory classes as well as practical sessions.

5. Administrative Issues

Role of NSC in supply of seed has to be encouraged.

Chemical fertilizers may be considered as input under FLD programme.

Equipping the NFSM Cell with adequate staff and consultants on contract basis

as envisaged under the programme for monitoring NFSM activities will enhance

the success of implementation.

Meetings of DFSMEC should be convened at regular intervals as per guidelines

of NFSM for effective implementation.

As per the guidelines, area under cluster demonstration should be 100 ha. But

due to fragmentation, drought situation and vagaries of nature, the

implementing agency is facing difficulties to take up demonstrations on 100 ha.

in many of the districts. Hence, area under cluster demonstrations may be

reduced to 50 or even 25 ha.

As per NFSM guidelines varieties which are less than ten years old only are

eligible for seed distribution under the scheme. But there are only few varieties

which are less than ten years old and hence the funds earmarked for this

intervention could not be utilized completely. Hence, provision may please be

made for distribution of all popular variety certified seeds under this

intervention.

NFSM may consider to include Major livestock sector enterprises which can

readily integrate with agriculture: (a) Mini or small dairy units (b) Ram lamb

production (c) Rearing of goat kids for chevron /accelerated production (d)

Backyard poultry production and (e) Small scale poultry production which also

addresses Nutritional security.

6. Technical Issues

Seed production plans should match the targets of Seed Replacement Ratio

(SRR). Seed requirement could be met by extending production subsidies for

certified seeds of inbred HYVs and hybrids.



13



Site/location specific technology package should be supplied to farmers in the

form of leaflets, pamphlets etc. in easily understandable language.

For all the CFLDs on micro-nutrients, soil amendments and management of

problem soils, soil fertility status has to be ascertained.

The district level agencies should utilize the services of scientists of SAUs and

KVKs for effective implementation of CFLDs and Training Programmes.

Capacity Building through training should be given major emphasis.

Beneficiary farmers need to be educated to adopt timely measures for crop

growth without waiting for funds, so that FLDs will be result oriented.

7. Cost of Farm Machineries /Resource Conservation Machine/Tools

There is a need to increase the subsidy amount on Farm Machineries /Resource

Conservation Machine/Tools in view of their price escalation.

Details are presented on Page no. 237 of the main report.

8. Impact of Funding Under NFSM In States

While there is distinct positive impact on productivity due to funding under NFSM for

various crops in different states over XII plan period, there are some states where

the impact was relatively lower and even resulted in negative impact. There is thus, a

need to study such cases.

Details are presented on Page no. 6 of the main report

9. Top 5 States

On a quarterly basis, NFSM identifies top 5 states for each crop based on their

performance (as measured by actual achievements versus targets for various

interventions). The following table indicates list of 5 top states for the period 2014 -15

to 2016-17.
