8. Encouraging signs Improved production and productivity during 07- 08 & 08-09 State specific specialisations- T.N- SRI; U.P-Success story of rotavators; Orissa and A.P- Documentation of demonstrations Improvement of productivity by more than 50% in some districts of Bihar, M.P where the original productivity is much lesser than the state productivity.

14. Observation of field visits More stress on quantity of demonstrations, FFS. Delay and inadequate supply of inputs like gypsum and micro- nutrients and farm implements Large amounts of unspent balances. Need for village level awareness – Proper Documentation of the demonstration/minikit performance Regular Maintenance account documents at state/district village level Engagement of PMT & Increased involvement of PRIs/ PMT Selection of site and Operation of farmers field schools Receipt for sale of various inputs to the farmers Constitution of seed committees and district monitoring committees at district level

16. Crop Planning for Rabi Kharif crop coverage and damage Additional areas-boro/summer rice, wheat and coarse cereals Possibility of increase in pulses area Productivity increase in regular rabi areas- timely sowing & provision of timely inputs NFSM components – For promoting water conservations technology (SRI, zero till seed drills, sprinklers) Life saving irrigation facilities (Pump sets, sprinklers) Local initiatives funds for taking up location specific activities, leading to increase in agriculture production/productivity. Use the flexibility of 20% inter componental change Unutilized funds for procuring additional inputs for rabi to cover rabi pulses, additional rice areas in NFSM districts Additional funds, if required.

17. Other Suggestions Planning for timely availability of inputs for rabi Delegation of input procurement to district level, if required Release of publicity funds to districts, distribution of literature, wall writings etc. Interest accrued need to be intimated & utilised for NFSM after approval Active participation of PMT needs to be ensured Need to activate Monitoring committees at district level Baseline survey/ concurrent evaluation reports Use of NFSM website MIS for monitoring

18. “Your” involvement / dedication is important for “our” Success.. Let us strive hard together for Future Food Security …..
