SRI in India: Where are we now
• SRI is started in about 218 districts -- out of total of 564 rice-growing districts
• SRI is started in all rice-growing states• And in all agro-climatic zones• With all types of farmers (>50 ha to 0.2 ha)
• Part of national and state initiatives• 54 of these SRI districts are among the
designated 133 NFSM rice districts

SRI: What we know..
• Increases production and factor productivity
• Decreases the need for water input• Less inputs and lower cost of
production• And other benefits

SRI: Where we want to go
• Cover all rice-growing districts• At least 20% of rice area by 2015?• Reduce the water input by at least
30% of current national level?• Produce enough more paddy to meet
the projected demand

We still need to ..
• Know the full potential of SRI practice• The constraints to utilization(and
reasons for disadoption where this occurs)
• Improving the tools and implements• Know the role of subsidies/support• Long-term sustainability• This will require more research

Way forward…
• By 2015, 20% of rice-producing area under SRI, producing180 million tons of paddy, with at least 30% water-saving
• Learning from all this experience• Institutional support mechanisms• Private sector participation• Developing markets for SRI produce• Improving ecosystems’ sustainability

Thank You
More paddy from less water
