    Production Requirement Population

    Projected Requirement of Foodgrains

  • 8/2/2019 Agriculture Commissioner

    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.

    NEED FOOD SECURITY MISSIOIN ?

    5/47

    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.

    KEY FEATURES OF NFSM

    6/47

    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

  • 8/2/2019 Agriculture Commissioner

    7/47

    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

    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

    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
