Meeting on To review the progress of the CDP(RKVY) Scheme at Krishi Bhawan, New Delhi.

Objectives of the Crop Diversification Programme (CDP) To diversify area from water guzzling crops like paddy to alternate crops and arrest depletion of ground water to enhance the farmer’s income. To demonstrate and promote the improved production technologies of alternate crops for diversion of paddy cultivations. To restore the soil fertility through cultivation of leguminous crops that generates, heavy biomass and consume lesser nutrient intake crops. The scheme was introduced for the first time in the month of june, districts of the state are selected for promotion of Crop Diversification Programme with the objective to bring atleast 5% deduction under paddy in identified districts.

Suggestions Revised approval of assistance for Plantation of Poplar i.e. Rs /ha. in place of Rs /ha. as per the proposal of Forest Department of Haryana. Active collaboration of Maize based Agro-industries to ensure the regular demand of Maize crops. Assured procurement of Maize by Govt. agencies MSP of Maize may be increased. In cluster demonstration of alternate crop(Maize) assistance may be Rs. 7,500/ha as other crops, as the crop is heavy feeder and suited to the farmers.

Govt. of India through his official letter No /7/2014/GC dated 11 June 2014 addressed to the Sh.Roshan Lal, Principal Secretary to Govt.of Haryana, Agriculture Department with the subject cited ‘Recommendation/observation of Standing Committee of Parliament on Agriculture’ has directed the State that Govt.should ensure that open and competitive tenders should be floated where Central money is spent and no specific brancd Name(s) for seed or insecticide are specified in tender inquires and requested the State that these observation of the Standing Committee may strictly adhere to an Action Taken Report thereon. The Department follows the ‘Package of Practices’ of the State Agriculture University where in the agro-chemicals are recommended both by chemical and brand names. The agro-chemicals with brand names are tested by State Agricultural Universities for their bio- efficacy.
