Seeds of Notified hybrid paddy varieties is available in small quantity. Therefore release of more and more hybrid varieties of paddy should be ensured. Rice millers hesitate in buying hybrid rice due to breakage more than permissible limits. Hence farmers do not get proper price of hybrid paddy. Due to smaller holdings (95% small and marginal farmers) insufficient availability of farm credit. Joint Liability Group should be formed on large scale to provide credit facility. Eastern UP is severely affected by floods and water logging. Therefore stress tolerant varieties needs to be develop on massive scale. Eastern UP is major rice producing areas and contributes nearly 75 Lakh tons. Therefore, IRRI may be requested to set up a research centre to develop new varieties of rice and its agricultural practices, in this area. Eastern UP is facing problem of floods by the rivers which originate from Nepal. A joint work plan to mitigate this problem at Government of India level should be initiated. Issues 31
