4/47
The growth in food grain production has stagnated duringrecent past while the consumption need of the growingpopulation is increasing.
To meet the growing foodgrain demand, NationalDevelopment Council in its 53rd meeting adopted aresolution to enhance the production of rice, wheat andpulses by 10, 8 and 2 million tons respectively by 2011.
The proposed Centrally Sponsored Scheme National FoodSecurity Mission (NFSM) is to operationalize theresolution of NDC and enhance the production of rice,wheat and pulses.

The scheme to be implemented in a mission modethrough a farmer centric approach
All the Stakeholders to be actively associated at theDistrict levels for achieving the set goal.
The scheme aims to target the select districts by makingavailable the improved technologies to the farmersthrough a series of planned interventions.
A close monitoring mechanism proposed to ensure thatinterventions reach to the targeted beneficiaries.

OBJECTIVES OF THE MISSION
Increasing production of rice, wheat and pulsesthrough area expansion and productivityenhancement in a sustainable manner;
Restoring soil fertility and productivity atindividual farm level;
Enhancing farm level economy (i.e. farm profits)to restore confidence of farmers of targeteddistricts

STRATEGY
1.Expansion of area of Pulses and Wheat, No expansion of area in rice
2.Bridging the yield gap between the potential and thepresent level of productivity through
Acceleration of seed production
Integrated Nutrient Management and Integrated PestManagement
Promotion of new production technologies like hybrid rice, timelyplanting of wheat and promotion of new improved variety of
Pulses
Supply of input ensuring their timely availability

FLOW OF FUND
Funds for the Missions programmes to be directlyreleased to the State Food Security Mission (SFSM)agency after approval by the National ExecutiveCommittee.
State Mission agency would ensure implementation of theprogrammes, in a time-bound manner and would makeavailable funds to the District level implementing agency
in accordance with their approved programmes.
Funds would be released in installments based onprogress reports and furnishing of utilization certificates

MONITORING MECHANISMThe NFSM will be monitored by National, State and
District Executive CommitteesThe Project Management Team would be constituted at
District, State and national level to assist in the
monitoring and implementation of the programme.Mission Director at National and State level will be
assisted by Project Management Team in implementation
and monitoring.The Department of Economics and Statistics to be
involved in data collection for monitoring and impact
evaluation .

A paradigm shift to focus states / districtswith higher yield potential and large yieldgaps
National Food Security Mission-RiceDistricts Covering more than 50,000 ha area under riceThe productivity is less than the State average productivity.
National Food Security Mission-WheatDistricts with sizeable area under wheatDistricts having irrigation to a great extentThe productivity is less than national/state average.
National Food Security Mission- PulsesThe districts selected based on potential for area expansion through inter-cropping / fallow land.

* After 1990 s N2 application of 150kg / ha hasrecorded highest yield in entire wheat areas.
* 50 % N 2 Basal + 50% at the time of first irrigation
has given best results
* More than two splits of N 2 is usually beneficialafter application of 50% basal dose
* Under Zero tillage also 150 kg N2 /ha hasrecorded highest yield
