Sowing Position Kharif, 2004

• Area Sown upto 31st July was 55.09 lac ha
  (42.71) against the last year corresponding
  period was 125.99 lac ha.
• Late Sowing in 59.39 lac ha (46) in the
  month of August, 04.
• Area increased in Pulses and Oilseed crops due
  to delayed rains.

5
Steps taken to mitigate drought
(Kharif, 2004)

• Crop Contingency Plan prepared and implemented
• Farmers motivated to grow Pulses/ Oilseeds and
  fodder crops due to rains in August.
• 75,000 lac special minikits on Fodder crops
  distributed free of cost.

MAJOR CONSTRAINTS IN MEETING THE DESIRED RESULTS

• Out of 32 districts deficit rains in 15
  districts.
• 46 water in tanks
• Low SRR in Kharif Pulses and Oilseeds
• Likely shortage of DAP in Rabi Season
• Rate of assistance under the programme of Work
  Plan is only 25 of the cost.

11
Issues for consideration of Govt. of India

• 1- ISOPOM
• Allow flexibility to divert saving of seed
  component to non seed component-i.e. water saving
  devices.
• PVC Pipe also be allowed for irrigation water
  conveyance.
• Permission of extending infrastructure support to
  KVKs in addition to RSSC .

12
Issues for consideration of Govt. of India

• 2- Work Plan
• Removal of cap on subsidy (25) under macro
  Management of Agriculture-Work Plan.
• Approval of enhanced programme of work plan for
  Rs. 39.50 crore.
• Permission of diversion of funds for fodder
  minikit programme in case of drought situation..
• 3- Others
• Declaring MSP for Guar, Moth, Coriander ,Cumin,
  Isabgol and Fenugreak(Methi).

13
NEW INITIATIVES TAKEN DURING 2004-05

• Doubling seed replacement in five years i.e. 20
  increase in SRR per annum.
• Covering all the wells with water saving devices
  sprinklers or piped conveyance.
• Strengthening Extension by adopting result
  oriented extension.
• Massive programme of Gypsum distribution for
  Reclamation of Alkali soil and Nutrient in Pulses
  and Oilseeds.

Contingency plan for adverse condition

• Intercropping of cereals with Pulses/ Oilseeds in
  line.
• Use short duration and low water requiring crops
  such as Moong, Moth, Cowpea, Castor Til and
  their short duration varieties.
• Weeding and hoeing after 30 days of raining and
  thinning as per need to save crops.
• Life saving irrigation with the use of
  sprinklers.
• Seed treatment with fungicide/insecticide to save
  crops from termites/seed and soil borne diseases.
• Use of FYM and Compost to increase water holding
  capacity of soil.

• Scheme will be launched during Rabi 2004
• Base line survey of selected to be completed by
  30th September
• Preparation of farm plan and adoption of
  technology as per plan.
• Increase in production/ income of selected
  farmers (20 expected).
• Reselection of fresh farmers after every 3rd
  year.
• Impact dissemination amongst neighbouring farmers.
