Strategies to enhance Crop production• Area expansion through diversification of low yielding cereals crops into oilseeds crops in Districts like Panchmahal, Dahod, Patan, Banaskantha, Tapi etc.• Special focus on low productivity of food grains crops in rain

fed areas.• District and Taluka wise crop planning and cluster approach to

enhance crop productivity• Focus on production of pulse by utilization of fallow rice beds

and intercropping with coarse cereals,oilseeds and commercial crops (sugarcane, cotton).

• Best practices adopted in Micro Irrigation and Mulching . • Increase use of Farm Mechanization, Gypsum &

Micronutrients.• Area specific Promotion and extension of improved

technologies.

New initiativesSoil health card based fertilizer application

Distributed 42.39 lalkh SHCs in 1st phase 22.44 lakhs SHCs in 2nd phase (2012-13 to 2013-14)5400 villages micronutrient map prepared & distributed

iKisan portal based serviceso 10.69 lakh farmers registered in iKisan portalo Application for Schematic Assistance, o Agriculture related technical information o Market Price, Weather o Soil Health Card linked Fertilizer Card o FAQ and solution regarding farming problems.

New initiativesCrop Insurance

iKisan based monitoring & reporting system for 14 Kharif crops 6.62 lakh application received online covering 13.90 lakh ha.Internet based open software in local language Online premium calculator provide transparency speed and accuracy Transparency in premium rate, amount crop wise threshold yield at the time of registration by farmersHelpful for online monitoring and effective implementation

Krushi Vikas Year (14-15) celebration

• Block wise Rabi Krushi Mahotsav.• Agro climatic Zone wise Agricultural Exhibition.• 2.5 Lakh Ha coverage target under Micro Irrigation

System through GGRC.• Intensive Water Conservation activities w.r.t

construction of Check Dam, Farm ponds etc.• Target of 100000 farm ponds during the year.

New initiativesFarm Mechanization

Rs. 100 cr project for Farm MechanizationState has adopted empanelment procedure for farm mechanization componentsEmpanelment procedure provides:

oEqual price across the stateoQuality Standard Maintained by ProducersoCompetitive RatesoTransparency and awareness for farmersoSubsidy transfer by NEFT/ RTGS in Bank A/C of Farmer

10

Lessons Learnt Use of micro nutrients has increased in deficit

areas Adoption of farm mechanization increased Varietal replacement rate as well as Seed

Replacement Rate is increased i.e. RICE –GAR 13, GAR-1,2,3, GNR-3 and 4, NAUR-1

PULSE (Tur)- Vaishali, GT-103, GJP- 1

PULSE (Moong)- Meha and Gujarat 4, GBM-1,

PULSE (Gram)- Guj 2 and Guj Gram 3

WHEAT –GW 366 , GDW 1255, GW 11 Pre season arrangement of inputs through

State seed Corporation and Gujarat Agro Industries Corporation

Implementation of schemes in cluster approach

Ikisan portal for quick and transparent delivery of assistance

Lessons Learnt (contd…..)

Timely adoption of plant protection measures

Increased use of on farm resources and low cost inputs like bio fertilizers, organic manures, crop residue management, vermi compost etc

Use of water saving devices and micro irrigation systems

Farmers learned to adopt INM and IPM

SOIL HEALTH CARD 391468 soil health cards

have been issued during krushimahotsav 2014.

MICRONUTRIENT FERTILITY MAP• 50 STL’s were equipped with micro

nutrient facilities under RKVY and NPMSF schemes

• 3.50 lakh soil samples were analyzed for secondary and micro nutrients In 2013-14

For improving performance of agriculture sector during 2013-14Convergence is made with

four electricity distributing

companies of the state with

Gujarat Green Revolution

Company (GGRC) to provide

micro irrigation system at

subsidized rates.
