Irrigation Water Harvesting Measures

• Kushal Jal Prabhandhan (Efficient Water
  Management)
• launched for land reclamation along with
  demonstration of irrigation methods for judicious
  use of water as limited resource.
• Promotion of LASER Land Leveler for precision
  leveling.
• Minimizing water losses through water conveyance
  system (HDPE Pipes) on 50 subsidy.
• Provision of life saving irrigation through Rain
  Water Storage, specially in rainfed areas.
• Minimizing run off and promoting ground water
  recharge for conjunctive use.
• Proper utilization of Rain water storage behind
  water harvesting bundhies for vegetable,
  horticulture Plant farm forestry.

34

• Provision of Sprinkler irrigation system in
  Bundelkhand to SC/ST SMF on Govt. cost and on
  75 subsidy to other category Farmers
• Bundelkhand Varsha Jal Sanchayan scheme for
  drought hit Bundelkhand region.
• Rainwater Harvesting and Watershed Management
  through Central, State and NABARD funds

New Initiatives for Potato Production

• Potato seed production programme in 518 ha under
  NHM which will ensure additional 1.20 lac qtls of
  Certified potato seed.
• Potato seed production programme in 200 ha under
  State Plan Scheme will ensure additional 0.46 lac
  qtls. of Certified Potato Seed.
• Support on certification of potato seed
  production.
• Required 17.60 lac MT. seed of potato is
  available, but it is not being certified by the
  farmers.

38
Issues For Consideration of GOI

• 75 subsidy on drip sprinkler irrigation system
  for all crops all farmers since water scare
  commodity.
• Timely supply of DAP requested as per supply
  plan. (3.30 lakh MT during Oct, 3.20 lakh MT in
  Nov, 2.10 lakh MT in Dec, 0.60 lakh MT in Jan,
  0.60 lakh MT in Feb. 0.70 lakh MT in March)
• Subsidy on notified hybrid seed also to be
  allowed.
• Issuance of letter of intent (LOI) for community
  radio stations in district Jalaun, Aligarh, Basti
  and Hydergarh (Barabanki) under ATMA.(Saharanpur
  already issued)
• In view of rising labor input cost, the Minimum
  Support Price should commensurate the actual
  cost of cultivation.
