“We need a second green revolution in Agriculture. We can tackle the problem of rising food prices only by increasing agriculture production and productivity. We also need to increase agriculture production to implement a food security law. We will accelerate our efforts in this direction in the 12 th plan”. Hon’ble Prime Minister in his address to the nation on Independence Day (15 th August, 2011) Commitment

17 Study Topics across States TopicsDirectorates/NFSM ConsultantLikely issues to be studied Potential and constraints in Conservation Agriculture Practices in East U.P. and Bihar (only two best districts) DWD, Ghaziabad NFSM Consultants-Machinery/ BGREI Feasibility of conservation agriculture in view of soil and crop cycle. How many have continued after programme shifted to other farmers? Is any other viable practice? What is the gain in productivity? Higher productivity due to better crop stand/geometry or early sowing? How much cost saving, if any? Does cost savings takes into account the loss of crop residue which could have been used for economic purposes? DRD Patna, Dr.S.S.Singh, & Mr. S.V Singh, Consultant BGREI Impact of irrigation pumps in productivity gain of rice in West Bengal DJD Kolkata, Consultants- Mr. Shamsher Singh and Mr. S.V.Singh What was the productivity level before pump installed? Is adequate electricity supply available for operation? Any viable alternative? Quality of water being pumped-more of arsenic/salt or normal? Adoption of System of rice intensification in Tamilnadu- constraints, prospects DTD Chennai, NFSM Consultant – Dr.Saini, Consultant, NFSM Are all 6 concepts of SRI followed? If not what are the practices followed? How many farmers continued/discontinued the practice? Reason for continuing or discontinuing? What is the productivity gain? Suggestions for improvement. Reasons for low productivity in some districts of Tamilnadu- Ramnathpuram, Shivaganga etc. –and strategy for improvement DTD Chennai, NFSM Consultant – Dr.D.G.Gupta, pulses villages Reasons for low performance. Technology promoted and its performance. What could be alternatives? Whether demanded or forced? How does it link with SREP and C-DAP? Reasons for low productivity in Karnataka and strategy for improvement DOD, Hyderabd Dr.G.P.Gupta & R.S.Saini, Consultant, NFSM Reasons for low performance. Technology promoted and its performance. What could be alternatives? Whether demanded or forced? How does it link with SREP and C-DAP? Impact of ICRISAT initiatives in rice fallows in Chhattisgarh DPD, Bhopal Dr.R.K.Gupta& Dr. Shankar lal Consultants, NFSM Is it crop replacement or additional area gained? Why no crop was being taken by farmers earlier? How much area out of total fallow is feasible for steady crop coverage? Replacement of existing practices/varieties with ICRISAT variety, if any Is there better option? Productivity and production gain?

Responses from the States Crop situation for kharif pulses and Rabi Coordination with SASA for area and production figures Complete concurrent evaluations, particularly for lagging districts – what works and what does not? Complete Online data entry from Districts into MIS APY data of the districts upto Assign State and District PMTs to work on study topics Information for A3P booklet in the prescribed format Popularize Ridge Furrow Planters for pulses Progress of approved additional pulses program of NFSM Status of pest surveillance in A3P units of NFSM & RKVY

Sum up Mission is an engrossing journey and its work fulfilling for personal and professional development More responsibility in 12 th Plan would demand better organization of work Farmers as well as the field functionaries need to be armed with better technologies and tools Developing networks of professionals across institutions would be the key to success Thank You!
