 Rabi area expansion : Rabi cropped area to be increased by 10% (1.70 lakh ha.) with especial emphasis on pulses.  Quality seeds distribution (Rabi) : Increase of 17%  Introduction of new varieties in pulses : Gram : JAKI , JG-11, JG-63  Seed Production Programme (Pulses) being taken up in 8,000 ha.  Additional Rabi area of 8,000 ha. to be brought under Micro Irrigation (Sprinkler System) in pulses. Initiatives 25

Status of Fund Mobilization  Average time taken for release of funds to field agencies schemes - 1 month from the date of receipt of allocation. -To be reduced to 15 days from next year

From the current year, untied grant to states under BGREI & other sub-schemes has been reduced to 20% of allocation. This needs reconsideration. Original funding pattern should be restored so as to address state specific needs. The mandatory requirement of 100% utilization of previous year's allocation for release of 2nd installment during subsequent year needs review. It may be reduced to 80%. Demonstraion: Component –wise cost norms may be left to the states Farm pond construction : Unit cost for poly lining fixed at Rs lakh (with 50% subsidy component) is substantially less than the actual cost (approximately Rs. 1 lakh). Unit cost needs upscaling. Unit cost of Sprinkler System under NFSM (Pulses) needs upward revision in line with NMIS. Issues for Consideration 27
