NFSM / RKVY Utilization of funds under NFSM satisfactory.

The yield levels by and large show increasing trend.

RKVY, utilization of funds is satisfactory.For some States, funds allocated to Animal

Husbandry are lower than the agri.GDPYield Gaps among the states still persistYield is highly susceptible to climatic

variations

Fertilizer -statusAP-Opening stocks are meagre, Stocks may be

positioned by 15 April , Owing to price problem of complexes, units stopped production. Major allocation of DAP, Complex fertilizers may be made to local manufacturing units

Karnataka- Likely shortage of Complex fertilizersPunjab- The supply of DAP during rabi was

constrainedRajasthan-There is a gap of 2.19 lakh MT of DAP

against agreed plan by the manufacturersHaryana and Gujarat- Situation is satisfactory

Best PracticesAndhra Pradesh- Effective conduct of Farm Field Schools – 7677 in 3

years, Best farmer or farmwoman is considered as Facilitators, crop loans at 3% to farmers

- Every village has its soil health map displayed and all farmers are educated on the soil health management

- DNA finger printing and latest seed testing laboratories to check and ensure genetically pure seeds for farmers

- Information Boards in the village displaying contact details of concerned agriculture officers

- AGRISNET-IT support to Farmers Entire Portal in Telugu .

- DAATT Centers in all districts -70 Scientists deployed

Best PracticesAndhra Pradesh

Village as a unit of crop insurance in all districts

Rs 5000 incentive to prompt crop loan payee farmers – Rs 18000 crores disbursed to 37 lakh farmers

Best PracticesKarnataka- Convergence with all line departments at Sub-block

level through multidisciplinary centers called as Raitha Sampark Kendras

- International Exposure Visits to 525 farmers (China)- Organic Farming Mission to promote organic

farming – oath taken by 50000 farmers- Crop loans to farmers at 3% (State to subsidize the

remaining interest)- Intercropping of pulses in maize and sugarcane- Farm Women Empowerment-147 Lady officers

deployed

Best PracticesPunjabAgriculture Machinery Service Centres to

provide custom hiring servicesClean cultivation of cotton to control mealy

bug – yield levels restored to 710 Kg/haModern livestock houses- 1000 houses at a

subsidy of 35%Law to control use of sub-soil water for paddy

Best PracticesHaryana

EDUSAT System for Tele Conferencing with field level officers once in a month

GIS application in agriculture for balanced use of fertilizers – soil fertility status maps along with micronutrient status, water quality maps and ground-water status maps

Krishi Sanvad magazine in all villages (24 dedicated pages on agriculture)

Promoting of mechanization of sugarcane farmingApplication of remote sensing technique

Best PracticesRajasthanEmpowerment of women through special

support to higher educationPromotion of Date palm and Olive through PPPKharif Abhiyan (15th May to 30th June) and

Rabi Campaign (15th September to 15th October) covering all the 9189 Panchayats

Soil health enhancement –soil health cards and soil fertility mapping

PPP in Extension through corporate houses

Best PracticesGujaratKrishi Mahotsav- convergence and mass contact

strategyAgri-horti-vety kits, soil health cards, kisan credit

cards, animal vaccination, irrigation schemes etc implemented during the mahotsav

Golden Goals Increase aggregated average SRR of self pollinated

varieties by 50%Cover all operational land holders under soil health

card programmeEach village to have minimum one vermi-compost

unit

ISSUESIssue of model code of conduct is affecting

implementation of ongoing schemes in all the states

Fertilizer companies have stopped production of fertilizer complexes in absence of policy decision by the Deptt. Of Fertilizer.

Insufficient grant in ISOPOM compared to approved Action Plans

The time of release of funds should coincide with the crop season, preferably in the month of April and September

The issue of operation of schedule III & IV of FCO (related to Bio-fertilizers/organic fertilizer)

Lack of extension staff affecting programme implementation in the States.

Uniformity in cost and technical norms of the different schemes of the Ministry

Advance stocking of DAP. Karnataka has provided Rs400 crore as revolving fund to MARKFED for the purpose. AP has provided Rs500 crore to MARKFED

Researchable IssuesMealy bug in cotton- Tolerant varieties requiredWheat- Terminal heat tolerant varieties

requiredMustard- Frost tolerant varieties requiredBrown Plant Hopper- Tolerant rice varieties

requiredBlackgram and greengram yellow mosaic virus

resistant varieties requiredImpact of Bt refugia not being adopted by

farmers to be assessed
