‘Bringing Green Revolution to Eastern India’
Sub scheme of Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojanasupplementing crop husbandry programs in
Eastern Indian States
Status of BGREI Implementation in Preparatory meeting of 26th July 2012
Objective• Increased and assured supply of rice production to
meet the growing demand– Reduce climate change related risks by widening
production base and fast tracking development of high potential production area
• Remove regional imbalance in production– Self sufficiency in major consuming areas– Economies of logistics
• Preserve natural resources– Sustainable production in appropriate agro ecologies
Potential of Eastern Region
The region is endowed with climatic conditions
particularly congenial temperature regime suitable for
year round cropping
Vast unexploited agricultural potential
increasing cropping intensity
Increasing crop productivity
The region witnesses high annual rainfall and is rich in
utilizable surface and ground-water resources

Rainfed rice production is low and unstable mainly due to abiotic stresses
Strategy
• Promote stress tolerant varieties– Submergence tolerant
• Swarna-Sub1 : Assam, UP, Bihar, WB, Orissa• Samba Mahsuri-Sub1 : UP, • IR 64-Sub1 : UP, Orissa, WB
– Drought tolerant • Sahbhagi dhan : UP, Bihar, Orissa, Jharkhand and Chhatisgarh
– Salinity tolerant• CSR-36 : UP & Bihar
• Promote recommended package of practices suitable for different rice ecologies– Upland rice– Rainfed Low land rice– Rainfed Deep water rice– Irrigated rice
Recommendations
Lower Gangetic Plains Region(WB other than Purulia and hill districts)
• Submergence tolerant varieties of Rice need to be promoted
• Scope for utilizing kharif rice fallows for cultivation of rabi pulses and oilseeds
• Reduce upland rice areas with more suitable crops like pulses and oilseeds
• Development of on-farm irrigation resources especially efficient use of ground water(except Arsenic Prone areas)
Middle Gangetic Plains Region (Eastern U.P. and Bihar)
• Increasing the fertilizer use• Use Leaf colour charts for Nitrogen
and promote PSB• Taking care of widespread
deficiency of zinc and boron.
• Promotion of short to medium duration high yielding varieties and hybrids of rice and maize
• Promotion of maize cultivation especially in Rabi
• Promotion of early maturing varieties of sugarcane
• Development of on-farm irrigation resources especially efficient use of ground water
Flood/ water logging, poor drainage, Salinity/alkalinity, Arsenic contamination
Recommendations
Eastern Plateau & Hills Region (Parts of Orissa, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh)
• Promote rainwater harvesting and storage for increasing crop productivity
• Promotion of medium duration High yielding varieties/hybrids of rice
• Improvement in seed supply so as to increase the SRR
• Improvement in productivity of crops in acidic soils through soil treatment with liming materials available in the region
East Coast Plains & Hills (Part of Orissa)
• High yielding varieties for water logged areas and upland areas needs to be propagated
• Discouraging the cultivation of rice in marginal lands and diversifying in favour of oilseeds and pulses
• Utilization of rice fallows for increasing the crop area under pulses and oilseeds
• Rice-fish culture
• Improving soil drainage
Moisture stress, drought and Soil acidity, Iron toxicity
Salinity, Water management, Poor nutritional status of soil, saline lands

Technical Backstopping• CRRI, Cuttack assigned the Nodal responsibility of
monitoring.– Nomination of Scientist for each BGREI States by CRRI.
• Out of 125 districts, 25 districts of Assam(4), Bihar(1), Chhattisgarh(6), Jharkhand (3) and Odisha (11) were covered by CRRI during 2011-12. – Response from other associated institutions was weak
during the year. • Organised awareness meetings and State level
workshops – planning, monitoring, documentation, technical support
in implementation and in organizing crop cutting experiments etc.
Key feed backs
• Noteworthy initiatives;• Bihar and Jharkhand promoted SRI with rice hybrids
• Involvement of NGOs for Line transplantation- Odisha and UP
• Drum seeders/seed drills in Chhattisgarh and UP
• Shallow tube well linked promotion of Boro Rice season in Assam
• Increase in adoption of hybrid rice and sub-mergence/drought tolerant varieties;
• Increased demand for farm machinery- self propelled reaper/combine harvester etc.
• Demand for marketing, processing and procurement support
Impact Evaluation• To assess the efficacy of the programme implemented up to March 2012,
impact evaluation study assigned to Agriculture Economic Research Centres (AERCs) of BGREI States
• Consolidated report is expected by end November, 2012. – The report received in respect of Chhattisgarh, Odisha and West Bengal
reveals.• Comprehensive input package with cluster demonstration resulted
significant increase in productivity of rice, – which narrowed down the yield gap from 31.81% to 12.67% in Chhattisgarh
and from 24.71% to 19.12% in West Bengal– Perceived by farmers as one of the best programme in terms of adequacy of
input package and technology dissemination– Progressive farmers were found most viable links between extension
machinery and beneficiary farmers.• Problem of marketing and low market price still persists across States
Lessons Learnt for Improvement• Involve State Agriculture University/KVKs
– Identifying yield gaps and planning key interventions• Crop monitoring through the crop cycle
– Document the field observations and analyse the results on what worked and what didn’t
• Ensure field presence– Converge staff across domains, supplement by NGOs
• Deliver technology and not cash– Fill gaps in farmers’ practice– Launch specific campaigns on key interventions
• Integrated services to farmers– Coordinate with marketing, finance, power, water and revenue
departments through out the crop cycle
Sum up
• Eastern India Initiative has returned spectacular results in 2011-12 with sharp increase in crop productivity
• Gap identification by involvement of scientists would help to better address the constraints
• Committee of Chief Ministers would provide a forum for coordination across departments
