Strategies adopted for higher Foodgrain Production Enhanced investment in Agriculture. Enhanced SRR by distribution of 6.86 lakh qtl. of quality seeds. Establishment of 14, 719 PLIPs brought additional 30, 000 hectares under assured irrigation. Incentivising adoption of line sowing and line transplanting. Technology demonstrations in different food grain crops. Capacity building of farmers and extension functionaries. Ensuring timely input supply and their management. Higher balanced use of fertilisers. E-pest surveillance and need based plant protection measures. Large scale farm mechanisation through simplified IT enabled system and increased subsidy. Creating awareness among farmers and rewarding them for outstanding performance.

New innovations/ initiatives adopted A comprehensive Agriculture Policy conferring agriculture status of industry. Exclusive budget for Agriculture sector. Promotion of improved, HYV and hybrid varieties, enhancing SRR of rice (from in to during ). Registering 897 farmers’ crop varieties & establishment of a Gene Bank to preserve invaluable germplasms for future use. Promotion of SRI and massive seed treatment Campaign. Management of Acid Soils, mapping of secondary plant nutrients and hosting soil nutrient status database in the web. Incentivising line sowing and line transplanting. Community threshing floors facilitating post harvest management. Establishment of FIAC in every block. Greater emphasis and assistance for agriculture mechanisation. On- line fund management and Farmers health insurance.

Lessons Learnt SRI - enhanced rice production and water productivity. Line sowing and line transplanting. e-pest surveillance. Community bore well - increase of cropping Intensity. Farm mechanisation. Soil amelioration through PMS. Use of plastic drum seeder. Formation of CIGs /FIGs. Increased use of ICT Rewarding farmers FIACs in every block has made the extension delivery mechanism more effective.

Road Map for achieving Higher Production Enhancing SRR and increasing coverage under HYV and Hybrids. Increasing fertiliser consumption ( presently 60 kg/ha). Promoting sustainable agriculture through INM, IPM, Organic Farming and Integrated Farming System. Ensuring timely supply of critical inputs and quality control. Continued amelioratory measures for Acid Soils. Promotion of SRI and special packages on crop production. Enhancing irrigation potential and promoting PIM. Farm mechanisation by extending additional subsidy. Adequate crop loan & crop insurance. Emphasis on rainfed agriculture. Development and strengthening infrastructure. Capacity building of farmers and extension functionaries. Promoting use of ICT in agriculture.
