INITIATIVES TAKEN DURING KHARIF 2008

Under ground pipeline system promoted to economize the use of

irrigation water.

Area under hybrid paddy increased from 2.0 lac hect. to 2.4 lac hect.

Pusa-1121 variety of Basmati Paddy promoted to increase farmer’s

income.

Area under Bt. Cotton increased from 41,000 hectares to 3.6 lac hectares

• Seed supplied through Govt. agency

Enacted legislation “Preservation of Sub-Soil Water act, 2009”

prohibiting raising of paddy nursery before 15th May and

transplanting of Paddy before June, 15th Green Manuring was promoted

• More than 32000 qtl. seed of dhaincha distributed free of cost to

the farmers and an area of 1.04 lac hect. covered.

EXTENSION APPROACHES

• Extension Machinery strengthen - inducted 160 more extension workers. • Pritibadh wall magazine in 3500 villages free of cost.• Krishi Sanvad magazine in all villages (24 dedicated pages to Agriculture

sector)• Use of EDUSAT System to disseminate information. Tele conference of field

workers on monthly basis• Wide use of electronic and Print Media. • Pragatisheel Kisan club strengthened by way of providing office room,

computers and fax machine in DDA office.

• Farmer’s Development workshop- cum- Exhibition to disseminate information. ● Karnal ● Hisar ● Bahadurgarh(Jhajjar) ● Kurukshetra ● Rohtak ● Rewari.

•Use of GIS Technology in Agriculture for balanced use of fertilizers.

•Green manuring, farm mechnaization, water saving devices and soil health improvement programme is mainly focused in agriculture.

•Genetic improvement of cattle, reproductive health management and strengthening of fodder seed unit are priority areas in Animal Husbandry & Dairying sector.

•Fish seed production, popularization of hybrid vegetables cultivation and development of storage capacity and cold chain etc. are the other areas targeted under RKVY during RKVY during 2008-09.

•Adequate funds have been allocated to Animal Husbandry, Fisheries and Horticulture sector under RKVY to ensure holistic development of farm sector in the state.

•Draft comprehensive District Agriculture (C-DAP) for 20 district have been prepared.
