Implementation of New Initiatives on Region specific, Crop specific strategies
Status Review
New Initiatives Bringing Green Revolution to Eastern India
Increasing productivity of Rice based cropping system
Watershed centric Integrated Development of 60,000 pulses and oilseeds villages in rainfed areas Watershed plus activities
Accelerated Pulses Production Program En bloc technology promotion in 1000 units of
1000 hectares each in two years for five main pulses crops
Eastern India Initiative Six Eastern States: West Bengal, Orissa, Bihar,
Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Eastern part of Uttar Pradesh Assam included recently
Green Revolution - Crop Husbandry Addressing underlying constraints
Soil, water, Energy, small holdings, pests and diseases Bridging the yield gaps
Technology Promotion
Steps taken by Government of India Expert group
Finalizing the Strategy Plan Workshop to adopt the plans
Monitoring Structure 3 tier structure CRRI as nodal institution
Task Forces Water resources
1st meeting held on 10th August Power
1st meeting held on 20th July Hybrid Rice Promotion
Plan to cover 3 million hectares by 2012 Increase in MSP for Pulses
NAFED to set up purchase centres in seven key States Timely release of Funds
Provisional Releases
Bihar
Focus on Pulses with 21 % funds 63.94 crores
Chhattisgarh
60 % rainwater harvesting ; Innovative and Direct 67.15 crores
Jharkhand
29.6 croresFocus on Rainwater harvesting, Wheat dev, Non NFSM Districts
Orissa
79.67 CroresFocus on Hybrids, pulses and SRI; E pest surveillance
Eastern UP
57.27 CroresSTW for summer rice is the focus
West Bengal
102.37 croresBalanced in key areas
Monitoring Structure
Central Steering Committee
Considers reports of SLMTs Meets once in three months
State Level Monitoring Teams
Visits the assigned State once a month Reviews the progress Considers the reports of KVKs
District Level Monitoring Teams
Visits the projects in the Districts Verifies the quality of service delivery Prepares reports in prescribed formats
Central Rice Research Institute
Nodal Agency for Monitoring Identifies partner institutions for SLMTs Assigns scientific resources for district
level projects Prepares formats for reporting Documentation of outcomes

Status Kharif Season affected by drought in the
Region Additional area under Pulses as intercrops would
act as a mitigating measure Most activities planned for Rabi season
Water and soil conservation Wheat, rabi maize, seed production
Monitoring system to support delivery Involvement of CRRI and KVKs
Integrated development of pulses and oilseeds villages
Water shed centric, dryland farming

Concept Watershed plus activities in developed watersheds
Crop development Management and maintenance of community rainwater
harvesting and water conservation structures Programs to supplement efforts under ongoing
schemes Creation of tangible assets in rainfed areas Empowering watershed areas for utilization of water
Convergence Crop development schemes
NFSM, ISOPOM, MMA Watershed development schemes
IWMP, MMA, NREGS
Strategy Ridge furrow planter identified as the key intervention
to reduce water stress - moisture or flooding To reduce incidences of diseases
Machinery for dry land areas to improve efficiency Prime movers
Tractors, Power tillers Field operations
Seed cum fertilizer drills, rotavators Promoting custom hiring at subsidized rate
Increased reach Affordable to large numbers of small and marginal farmers Optimal utilization of machinery
Agri business agri clinics to service contracts Focused working in the identified villages
Priority under NFSM, ISOPOM and A3P Involvement of Watershed societies, Power companies, Irrigation
department
FAQs Inefficient management of community assets
States like MP, Punjab already running custom hiring centres
Outsourcing possible to ABACs or to progressive farmers with condition to serve farmers in the area at subsidized rate
Individual beneficiary program already available Other interventions like seeds are more important
Yes, but those are available under other schemes as well
No freedom to States No proposal on imaginative alternatives received
Use of solar water pumps? Lining the constructed farm ponds? Construction of diggis?
Status No implementation in Kharif Season Villages identified in all the States as also the
implementing agencies at watershed level Watershed wise planning in AP
Machinery would be in place before sowing operations in AP, Maharashtra, Gujarat and UP Potential Bundelkhand region in UP and MP
Procurement process still not completed in MP and Karnataka
Deviance from recommended measures Rajasthan plans to implement seed minikits and other
inputs free of cost to individual farmers (A3P pattern) MP promoting Machinery to individual farmers on the
MMA subsidy pattern apart from setting up custom hiring centres departmentally
Accelerated Pulses promotion program
Promotion of critical inputs in large number of compact blocks
Program• Selection of Districts as per area under five crops
Red gram, Green Gram, Black Gram, Bengal Gram and Lentils States to identify the blocks, villages and the farmers in the allotted districts
to cover 1000 hectares of area under these crops for each unit Supplying kits of critical inputs free of cost seeds, nutrients and plant protection chemicals to all the farmers in
1000 units Financial limit of Rs. 5400 per hectare for each kit Kit of nutrient and chemicals for 2 hectare per farmer to all the farmers Cost of one Technical Assistant for six months per unit Contingencies for mobility Composition of kits to be decided as per recommendations of
respective SAUs Type and quantity of nutrients and chemicals may differ More units could be planned from savings More items could be planned under the kit
Crop Insurance Seed minikits supplied by GoI for 0.4 hectares per farmer For multiplication of recommended varieties to cover entire area by
next season
A3P crops in 2010-11
Implementation Status
NCIPM Units
Prospects Higher area coverage of pulses in Kharif and good
rains in September augur well for the targeted production of 16.5 million tons of pulses this year
Good work reported by Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Maharashtra and Gujarat under A3P Line sowing Intercrops and on bunds Pest surveillance
Need to associate with 6000 block demonstrations by KVKs ICRISAT and ICARDA for chick pea and lentil
promotion
Sum up Quick grounding
Fine tune planning during implementation Complete roll out feasible during Rabi season
Eastern India program planned well but hit by drought Role of KVKs and CRRI for monitoring Assam to prepare plan for Boro Rice
A3P has progressed very well Protocol for pest management Training of technical assistance on pest surveillance
Pulses and Oilseeds Villages program generally lagging Not confident of ‘service’ model Procurement process
Consolidation needed Reporting system for tracking progress of interventions across
different schemes Incentive through top up funds for completing watershed
programs
A grand opportunity to contribute with flexible and customized programs
Thank you!
