Major constraints

• Low irrigation potential (28) Mostly
  protective in nature. Only 6 of net sown area
  under assured irrigation.
• Small and fragmented land holdings.
• 57 soil is of light to medium texture.
• Cropping intensity 134, Limited double cropped
  area.
• Low SRR (20).
• Low and imbalanced use of fertilizers.
• Inadequate adoption of improved technology.

5
Strategies

• Increasing irrigation potential.
• Improving soil health through balanced use of
  fertilizer and soil ameliorants (Lime gypsum
  under NFSM).
• Improving SRR.
• Promote inter-cropping, mixed cropping and Line
  sowing.
• Thrust on diversion of upland Rice with
  suitable Cereals, Pulses and Oilseeds.
• Promotion of farm mechanization.
• Support to Research for evolving AES specific
  improved varieties.

Strategic Plan Implementation

1. Increasing irrigation potential
Rainwater harvesting storage for drought
mitigation and increasing crop productivity

• The topography of Chhattisgarh being
  undulating, there is good possibility of
  construction of Tanks and Checkdams in low
  lands.
• The harvested rain water will be utilized to
  provide protective irrigation to Rice during dry
  spells in Kharif Season.

Utilization of harvested rain water for
increasing cropping intensity through convergence

• Harvested rain water will be utilized for
  cultivation of Rabi and Summer crops.
• Linkage with State plan scheme for providing
  irrigation pumps to utilize stored water.
• Training and organization of community in the
  form of water user associations for efficient
  management of common pool resource.
• Compact demonstrations on improved package of
  practices under NFSM, ISOPOM, MMS to be
  organized in the command area.

2. Increasing Rice productivity by adoption of
improved practices

• Biasi (Bushining) method of Rice cultivation
  which is largely followed in the State is highly
  water dependent and with declining rainfall, it
  is becoming increasingly risky.
• The technology of Rice line sowing doesn't
  require Biasi operation and suitable for
  declining rainfall situations.
• The productivity in certain districts is very
  low due to limited use of fertilizers. Balanced
  fertilizers kits are being provided in these
  areas.
• Training on INM is being provided through other
  CSPs.

Integrated Nutrition Management and Balance fertilizer kits for Rice (05 district) 75 Max. Rs. 1000 for 0.4 ha. 35000 Nos. 262.50
10
3. Promotion of HYVs / Hybrids to increase
productivity through demonstration

• HYVs are being promoted in tribal districts
  where local varieties are commonly grown.
• Hybrids demonstration are planned in districts
  where farmers have reached to the potential
  yield of HYVs.
• Diversification from upland and summer Rice to
  Maize.
• Use of tissue culture plants to ensure
  availability of quality and disease free
  planting material of sugarcane.

Demonstration of Sugarcane tissue culture plants Rs. 7500 for 0.5 ha. 5000 375.00

4. Increasing production of Pulses Oilseeds

• Area under Pulses 9 , Oilseeds 7.
• Large area in the form of uplands (30) is
  available where Rice is being diversified into
  Pulses and Oilseeds in Kharif Season.
• In rainfed low lands, Pulses and Oilseeds will be
  promoted on residual moisture after paddy
  harvest.
• About 2 of Rice area is available as bunds where
  Pulses (Arhar) and Oilseeds (Sesamum Niger) are
  being promoted.
• Inter-cropping of Arhar with Soybean and
  Urd/Moong with Maize is being promoted for
  diversification risk reduction.

5. Promotion of organic farming

• There is good possibility of organic farming,
  particularly in tribal regions.
• An NGO developed and tested model of organic
  vegetable cultivation named "Akshya" Model is
  being replicated.
• This has been adopted by large number of
  farmers in Bilaspur district.
• The model ensures round the year availability
  of compost for organic cultivation in one acre
  of land.
• This scheme is being implemented through PPP
  mode.

6. Input technology support to Traditional
Forest dwellers

• 2.5 lakh tribal families have been conferred
  with land rights (Pattas) under the Traditional
  Forest dwellers' Rights Act.
• Their land has been developed through
  convergence under NREGA.
• Technology support in the form of improved
  varieties and balance fertilizers is being
  provided to these families.

• Implementation status
• Construction of rain water harvesting structures
  will be done through soil conservation wing of
  the department for which sites are selected and
  DPRs are under preparation.
• Beneficiaries identified and critical inputs
  arranged for demonstration of improved practices
  of targeted crops.
• Demonstrations of Maize, Sugarcane and "Akshya"
  model of organic farming will be done under PPP
  mode. The selection of private partner is under
  progress.
• District-wise targets allocated and detailed
  guidelines are issued to field staff.
• Critical inputs are being distributed in the form
  of Minikits, Fertilizers kits.
• Sowing of targeted crops in progress.
