STATUS REVIEW OF MISSION PERFORMANCE

Focus on Rice and Pulses Crops

STATUS AT A GLANCE Subject to extreme climatic events, Mission is

on course to achieve targeted production for rice and wheat crops, but is lagging in pulses

Uptake of technologies in the districts is significantly increased as reflected in increasing use of Seeds, Machinery and Nutrients

Special Programs have been started this year to strengthen and supplement Mission work

New Approaches need to be planned to increase its reach and to develop better strategies for sustained production levels

RICE STRATEGY A target of 100 million tons plus is kept for production of rice for the

year. More than 90 % of the rice area comes under Kharif season. Hybrid rice will be promoted more aggressively for better area

coverage especially in potential districts of the States of Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, Odisha and West Bengal. Truthfully labelled notified hybrid varieties have also been allowed to be promoted under the schemes.

Under the new initiative ‘Bringing Green Revolution to the Eastern Region’ rice is the main crop being promoted in the six States of the region namely Uttar Pradesh (Eastern part), Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal. Aerobic Rice and Direct seeded rice would be promoted in the potential area Boro rice area would be increased in the Eastern Regional States of Assam, West

Bengal, Bihar, Odisha and Eastern UP Seed minikits have been given to the farmers for the varieties recently

released by IRRI that tolerate moisture stress, salt and submergence. System of rice intensification taken up by major rice producing

States like Andhra Pradesh, Tamilnadu, Assam, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.

NEW APPROACHES Strategy for Hybrid Rice

Learning from Chinese experience of production and promotion of hybrid rice

Reaching out to low capacity rice farmers Zero budget Natural Farming- Sustainable

Agriculture? Subash Palekar model (RD Ministry) Promotion of SRI

Inclusion of NGOs for individualized service to farmers especially for rainfed rice areas

PULSES – NEW INITIATIVES Strengthened NFSM Pulses

Merger of ISOPOM with NFSM Development/Adaptive Research projects More area coverage

Jharkhand and Assam included All the districts of ISOPOM States included

Accelerated Pulses Production Program Nutrient and pest control centric Block demonstrations Involvement of NCIPM for pest surveillance

Development of pulses and oilseeds villages Custom hiring of machinery in hub and spoke model

Policy support MSP increased Incentive announced

STATUS State Action plans approved for all the three initiatives

Funds released under NFSM Pulses, A3P and RKVY for kharif season implementation

Target of Pulses production increased by 1.5 million tons this year and kept at 16.5 million tons

Intensive consultations with stakeholders Pulses Expert Group (Chaired by Dr. Y.K.Alagh)

Seven sub groups finalizing reports Pulses strategy workshop

Rahuri model of water use efficiency in pigeon pea crop Involvement of Private sector

TATA’s m-Krishi project NCDEX spot exchange in Gulbarga

Procurement operations Plan indicating procurement centres being prepared by NAFED

Research and development projects from ICARDA Accession of genetic material of lentils and chick pea Lentils development in Rainfed Rice Fallows

SUM UP New Schemes and Policy measures have

been taken up to improve productivity of particularly of the rice and the pulses crops

Eastern Region Development is the key to ensuring food security for Rice and Pulses

New approaches to implementation are needed for more assured outcomes
