STATES EXPERIENCE IN IMPLEMENTATION OF A3P

Timely availability of inputs at farmers doorstep

Introduction of new high yielding varieties through seed minikits helped farmers to get more yield.

Introduction of new technologies like DAP foliar spray, Pulses wonder spray increased the yield up to 15%

Block level demonstration in a larger area created much interest among the farmers to practice new technologies

Introduction of e pest surveillance programme drastically reduced the usage of plant protection chemicals for pulses

STATUS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF PEST SURVEILLANCE IN A3P -2010 – 2011 & 2011-12

2010-11

As the fund was not allocated , e pest surveillance programme was not implemented

2011-12

Out of 11 districts implementing A3P programme, 8 districts have formed DM group and farmers scouts were identified and the programme is under implementation.

BRIEF OVERVIEW OF NFSM AND A3P

A judicious mix of proven technological components covering seeds of improved varieties , soil ameliorants, plant nutrients, farm machines / implements and plant protection measures coupled with FFS created the awareness of using advance technologies

The method of direct transfer of funds from the Centre to State through Nominated agency and to the implementing districts helped the farmers to get the benefits in time.

The conduct of around 6000 nos of SRI demonstration and distribution of Conoweeder and Markers created the positive trend towards paddy area expansion and productivity enhancement.

24

BRIEF OVERVIEW OF NFSM AND A3P

Introduction of Power Cono weeder, Rotavator, Power Tiller, Transplanter, helped the farmers to complete the field operations in time with additional income.

Supply of Sprinklers, Rain gun and Pipes carrying water gained more demand among the farmers and also helped in bringing more area under irrigated pulses.

The conduct of State level training programme every year by involving the scientists lead the extension functionaries to update the latest technologies regularly.

The A3P Programme implemented during 2010-11 as well as 2011-12 has demonstrated that productivity of pulses can be enhanced at least by 30-40 % through integrated deployment of scientific production technology involving seeds of high yielding varieties, INM & IPM and proper water management.

25

CONCURRENT EVALUATION

Conduct of Concurrent Evaluation was entrusted to

Department of Evaluation and Applied Research & work has been completed by May-2011

Report has been furnished to Government of India during May -2011

26

SPECIFIC ISSUES AND SUGGESTIONS

NFSM Rice

Distribution of truthfully labelled Anna -4 –drought tolerant paddy variety as seed minikit during 2012-13

Increase of subsidy for distribution of Hybrid rice seeds from Rs. 20/Kg to Rs.50/ Kg

For all the machineries – 50 % subsidy without any maximum ceiling limit both under Rice and Pulses scheme

NFSM Pulses

Local initiatives, PMT and conduct of FFS may be extended to all the pulses implementing districts

60 percent of the total financial allocation may be released as first installment

Supply of minikits under A3P may directly be arranged by GOI

Confidential. Not for distribution.27
