10. 10. Taking Rural India NABARD-SRI programme in INDIA Transfer of technology for coverage of 84,000 farmers Programme designed for 2-3 years Model Unit Approach adopted for field level implementation Salient features of a Model Unit are as under : A cluster of 16 villages and 25 farmers per village (total 400 farmers) identified for adoption of SRI technology in the first year of implementation. Each identified farmer will undertake cultivation of rice adopting SRI in his farm.
11. 11. Taking Rural India NABARD-SRI programme in INDIA To motivate the farmers to switch over to SRI, incentive by way of grant input towards cost of markers, weeder, organic manure, fertilizer, seeds etc. Provide hand holding support for field level adoption a system of extension support is put in place through SRI Facilitators and Coordinators. SRI promotion programme envisaged replication of 150 such Model Units across 13 predominant rice growing States. Total financial outlay under the programme was assessed at Rs.25.68 crore ($3.66million), phased over two year period
12. 12. Taking Rural India Progress in implementation Programme launched in 2010 planting season. The progress in implementation as of 31 March 2015 is : Cumulatively 175 projects sanctioned in 13 States. Total financial commitment involved was Rs. 25.61 crore, phased over three year period. Total no. of farmers benefited are 1.42 lakh in 2380 villages covering area of 36935.61 Ha.
13. 13. Taking Rural India Major Impact Grain yield in SRI indicates 194% increase while straw yield indicates an increase of 189% SRI method has done comparatively well even in condition of poor rainfall with drought tolerant variety Number of effective tillers per hill and number of grains per panicle have shown significant increase under SRI Cost of cultivation reduced while income level of small and marginal farmers increased.

15. 15. Taking Rural India Economic situation and food security in Jharkhand Population of 32.7 million located between elevation of 300610 MSL Climate Semi humid to humid semi-arid type. Maximum population of State depend on agriculture as their livelihood (70%). Food deficit in terms of demand and supply were 52% in cereals. Mono-cropping, low cropping intensity, subsistence farming 25% of the total land was a fellow land Highest poverty in INDIA. High rate of migration. 80% small and marginal farmers Rainfall 1200 mm but no storage facility Rice is the main crop of the State
16. 16. Taking Rural India Objective of implementation of SRI in Jharkhand To create awareness about the SRI in tribal community. To change farming system from subsistence to commercial farming To reduce the demand supply gap and dependent on other State for rice. To create a model for State Govt so as to make the SRI as main agenda of State Help small and marginal farmers to adopt new technology

Taking Rural India Project Implementation Strategy Phase I Preparation of Model Project of SRI in consultation with leading NGOs like, Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (SDTT), Watershed Support Services and Activities Network (WASSAN), Professional Assistance for Developmental Action (PRADAN). Phase II - Identification of RSA (Resource Support Agency) and PIA for implementation in State. The responsibility was given to District Development manager (DDM) NABARD Phase III- Identification of Stakeholders and their capacity building about SRI Phase IV - Sanction and implementation of programme by NABARD Phase V - Preparation of future strategy/road map for State Govt.
