Rainfed rice production is low and unstable mainly due to abiotic stresses

Strategy• Promote stress tolerant varieties

– Submergence tolerant• Swarna-Sub1 : Assam, UP, Bihar, WB, Orissa• Samba Mahsuri-Sub1 : UP, • IR 64-Sub1 : UP, Orissa, WB

– Drought tolerant • Sahbhagi dhan : UP, Bihar, Orissa, Jharkhand and Chhatishgarh

– Salinity tolerant• CSR-36 : UP & Bihar

• Promote recommended package of practices suitable for different rice ecologies– Upland rice– Rainfed Low land rice– Rainfed Deep water rice– Irrigated rice

Key feed backs

• Program prescription varied in some States;• Bihar preferred SRI irrespective of rice ecologies & SWI for wheat

• Supply of inputs/incentive amount in cash to the beneficiaries

• Involvement of NGOs for implementation of BGREI - Odisha

• Increase in distribution of hybrid rice; Adoption of sub-mergence tolerant varieties;

• Gaps in adoption of technologies of nutrient, weed management, crop protection, seed treatment • Timely supply of inputs

• Need based nutrient mgmt.

• Demand for farm machinery- self propelled reaper/combine harvester etc.

Steps initiated by GoI

Expectations from states • Adherence to technical norms of agro ecological zone wise

demonstrations

• Approval of action plans by SLSC in time

• Organizing SLBC meeting before Kharif for crop loans to cluster

farmers

• Better coordination with CRRI for monitoring

• Timely supply of inputs like fertilizer, seeds and other critical inputs

• Community Nursery instead of individual Nursery

• Popularize Paddy Transplanter for transplanting of Rice

• Promotion of Drum Seeder for promotion/popularization of line sowing

Way forward • Efforts to maintain uniformity of interventions across

States for logical comparison of innovative technologies;

• Best practices of processes of deliverables and procurement of produce at MSP need be shared mutually by States

• Improvement in monitoring, documentation & reporting

• Strengthening of Coordination between CSC, SLMTs & DLMTs;

• Capacity building of Block level extension staff & beneficiary farmers.
