37
REASONS FOR SHORTFALL (under Central Schemes)

• ISOPOM delayed release of funds in 3rd spell
  and issue of state sanction under Oilseeds,
  Pulses and Maize.
• ISOPOM-OILPALM-Entrepreneur has confined the area
  expansion programme to 1207 Ha against the target
  of 1456 Ha. Hence the shortfall.
• ICDP-Cotton- Construction of bio-control lab
  could not be completed before the end of March
• ICDP-Cotton- Finalization of tender only at the
  fag end of the financial year. Hence the
  shortfall.
• Measures taken to overcome the shortfall
• Revalidation obtained to carry out the programme
  during the current year

38
EFFICACY OF EXTENSION NETWORK

• Bottom up approach (ATMA) is under implementation
  in 9 districts involving all line departments
• Under One umbrella is also one of the
  priorities of the Government
• Shifting from individual contact to group based
  approach
• Focus on gender based agriculture for Transfer of
  Technology
• FIGs formed on commodities to sustain the
  production
• Farm women SHG approach - a good impact on women
  empowerment.
• Capacity building to the extension machineries
  upto bottom level - a good impact on delivery of
  technology
