NFSM – Coarse Cereals NFSM – Coarse cereals programme was started in Jharkhand during 2014 – 15. Cluster demonstration on hybrid maize (HQPM -1) was conducted in 2667 ha area during There was an increase of 64.90% under Cluster demonstration yield (33.26 q/ha) over State average yield (20.17 q/ha). Area coverage of maize in the State is 2,57,800 ha ( ). There is scope of increase in production of thousand MT as per the yield gap between state average yield and demonstration yield.

Lesson learnt for future & Strategies Quality seed be made available to the farmers on time alongwith seed treatment to enhance productivity. Pulses growers should get INM inputs e,g. lime, Borax,(10.5%), Rhizobium culture, PSB and other inputs well in advance to boost up the productivity. Pest surveillance programme be taken up alongwith control measures for insect - pest in pulses crop. Post harvestment management of produce alongwith value addition to ensure higher benefit and employment.

Strategies for the above Seed production chain be strengthened to ensure availability of quality seeds to the farmers. Procurement of seed and timely availability to the grower be ensured. Technologies dissemination through training and awareness programme among the farmers be taken up every season. Local seed production needs to be enhanced through Progressive farmers under Seed Village Programme. Govt. farm is under process to manage by the N.S.C./ reputed N.G.O. to enhance seed production for easily availability in the state. State Seed Corporation to be constituted.

Specific Issues/ Suggestion As per norms of NFSM guidelines for 12 th five years plan state having more than 15 districts in one crop shall be provided one more PMT unit : vide guidelines Para Accordingly, provision of one more units of PMT at NFSM State Monitoring Cell be made as the NFSM – Pulses Programme is being implemented in 24 districts, NFSM – Rice in 4 districts & NFSM – Coarse Cereals in 11 districts. As per NFSM guidelines Para the district having atleast ha area in any one of the NFSM crop shall be entitled for PMT unit. The area under following districts of Jharkhand has more than ha coverage* under Pulses. Hence, these districts may be provided one PMT unit as per norms Mean Ranchi Deoghar Koderma * Sources: Directorate of Agriculture, Jharkhand

Specific Issues/ Suggestion As per Present norms it takes too much time to release fund to the districts. As a result fund utilization is declined during in comparison to previous years. Hence, if possible, it is suggested to avoid the treasury system and to restore the old pattern of fund flow (release) for the benefit of the farming community of the Jharkhand. NFSM is a Production and Productivity oriented Programme which was 100% financed by Govt. of India till Hence, NFSM Programme to be continued under previous funding pattern in the interest of farming community of the state.
