Positives Production Targets achieved Wheat, Pulses, Food Grains exceeded the targets Rice is poised to do so this year Positive Impact on low producing areas Overall production growth better in NFSM Districts as compared to Non NFSM Districts Institutional Partnerships CRRI, NCIPM, IIPR, NCAP, IRRI, ICRISAT, CIMMYT, ICARDA, NABARD, SFAC, SAC, NCAER, Wild Life Institute in pipeline 24 April 2017 Department of Agriculture and Cooperation

Negatives Technology Convergence Administration 33% of the Districts did not record any productivity increase despite technology promotion Convergence Limited support from other Departments despite committee form of governance Administration Same Procedures and Processes for transactions despite mission mode of implementation 24 April 2017 Department of Agriculture and Cooperation

Prospects Building on the strengths and addressing the weaknesses in the 12th Plan 24 April 2017 Department of Agriculture and Cooperation

Direction in 12th Plan include millets and maize Cropping system approach Cover all food crops Resource Conservation Technologies in High productivity Districts Bridge Yield Gaps in Potential Districts Cover all major and strategically important Districts growing food crops Delivering technology as services Closer monitoring of crops and program management Cluster approach and Institution Building Set up exclusive study on all matter relating to Food Security Continuous policy analysis to support operational work Non Labour component for MGNREGS, Clusters in developed IWMP, women farmers supported by NRLM, FPOs linked with Farmers’ Clubs of NABARD Convergence Protocol for collaborative working with other Ministries and departments Fast tracking of new Research Products developed by Public, Private or International Organization for popularization Provide for adaptive research to address site specific constraints 24 April 2017 Department of Agriculture and Cooperation
