Lessons learnt for future and strategies

Seed - Timely supply of quality seeds of appropriate varietiesIncreasing the number of Seed Testing Labs from 3 Nos. to 6 Nos.

Strengthening of Seed Certification Agencies’ infrastructure.

Installation of Seed Processing Plants

Marketing and Processing- Infrastructure development

Establishment of Krishak Bazaars

Installation of Mini Dal Mills

Farm Mechanization- Acceleration Electrification of rural tube wells.

Giving benefit of subsidy for farm mechanization to farmers through direct transfer scheme.

Major Focus given by the State on different Inputs under NFSM

Supply of Quality Seeds and other inputs in time.

Application of micronutrients based on Soil Nutrient Map and Soil Test Report.

Selection of site and beneficiary well ahead of the crop season

Demonstrations organized to motivate the farming community with modern Resource

conservation technologies / Tools / Efficient and judicious water application tools.

Organization of FFS for dissemination of improved technologies and to select

progressive contact farmer.

Inter Cropping in the Plantation crops / orchards with pulses to increase area under

Pulses

Exploration of New / Non conventional areas for Area Expansion of Rice / Wheat /

Pulses Emphasis on Training on Improved Technologies

Suggestions for increasing the efficacy of NFSM scheme

Raising the rate of assistance in case of Rice - Wheat Cluster DCs from Rs. 12500/- to Rs. 16000/- per hac and in case of Pulse DCs from Rs. 5000/- per hac to Rs. 7500/-.

Size of Cluster demonstrations may be reduced from 100 hac compact area to 50 hac compact area.

Rate of Assistance for distribution of Hybrid Paddy seeds under subsidy may be increased from Rs. 2000/- per qtl to Rs. 5000/- per qtl.

The Rate of Assistance for distribution of Pulse seeds under subsidy may be increased from Rs.1200/- per qtl to Rs. 5000/- per qtl.

Raising the cropping system based training support to Rs. 20000/- per training from current rate of Rs. 14000/- per training.

Raising the assistance amount of Pump sets from current rate of Rs. 10000/- per unit to Rs. 15000/- per unit.

Inclusion of work components like Combined Harvester cum thresher, mini harvester etc in the scheme.
