The area of Rice in NFSM districts increased by 4.71% (CAGR) compared to 3.78% in Non NFSM districts. The yield increased in NFSM districts by 2.72% (CAGR) compared to 0.45% in Non NFSM districts. The production of Rice increased by 7.55% (CAGR) in NFSM districts compared to 4.25% in Non NFSM districts. Similarly Bengalgram and total Pulses also recorded appreciable increases. Since Rice & Pulses contribute about 77% of foodgrains production in the state, the foodgrains production has also shown appreciable increase. Impact of NFSM

Rice production is estimated to be reduced by about 16 Lakh Metric Tones mainly due to reduction in area by 4.37lakh ha. The total cropped area is only marginally reduced by 1%.

Strategy and Planning under National Food Security Mission for Identification of Clusters and beneficiaries under N.F.S.M. Rice Pulses and A3P for demonstration is being done at district level by organizing the meetings with the field level staff. Indents are placed for supply of seed under general seed distribution and for cluster demonstrations through APSSDC. Indents are placed for supply of fertilizers through MARKFED. Regarding other inputs tenders are being called to finalize the rates. It is targeted to cover 5.00 lakh Ha under SRI cultivation for the year (Drum Seeder, SMSRI,Direct Seeding)

MAO shall make frequent visits to the cluster demo site and sensitize the farmers on all aspects of the crop and ensure adoption of all critical interventions. ADA shall visit the clusters duly coordinating with Scientists of DAATT centers, KVKs to monitor the crop growth in the cluster to sensitize the farmers. Farmers Training Centers shall be made responsible in organization of training programs in the clusters to address the specific interventions. Entrusting some of the cluster demonstrations to the DAATT centers, KVKs as model demos in adopting critical interventions for monitoring. The farmers of other clusters can be brought to visit these demos under exposure visit programme of ATMA for better absorption of the technology. Convergence of Cluster Demonstrations of National Food Security Mission Rice,Pulses and A3P with Bhuchetana Project for better monitoring

Issues Most of the pulses are grown under Rainfed conditions and under Rice Fallows. Mostly pulses are grown as a Inter crop with Maize, Jowar, Cotton, and Castor hence the net returns of pulses are poor. Inadequate availability of quality seeds of improved varieties Pulses are prone to pests and diseases and heavy yield losses Inadequate and imbalance use of nutrients especially micro nutrients Pulses suffer heavily from Terminal soil moisture stress / drought Fluctuations of market prices.

Suggestions Motivation of the farmers to grow pulses as a pure crop and in Irrigated Dry conditions. More trainings are planned in under INM and IPM in Pulses. More research for development of short duration and disease resistant Varieties. Remunerative Minimum support price and procurement by the institutions
