West Bengal : Placing Issues in West Bengal : Placing Issues in Perspective Perspective

• Has 8% of India’s population with 2.7% of the total area,

• Population Density (1029 per Sq. Km) puts tremendous pressure on land,

• Agriculture contributes nearly Rs 41,000 crore (21%) to the SDP per annum,

• Marginal and small farmers constitute 95% of the 5.7 mn farmers, (2001 census) [Including Bargadars]

• Farm workers exceed marginal and small holders (7.3 mn),

Contingent Plan-2013-14• Contingent seed beds of Paddy will be prepared

in Government farms.• Farmers will be advised to raise community

seed beds near source of irrigation water in phases.

• Under post kharif season, crops like Black Gram, Paddy will be grown.

• Transplanting under west Bengal can continue even up to 15th August with varieties up to 115-120 days duration.

• Farmers will be advised to grow paddy following double –transplanting method.

• Promotion of Khesari, Toria, like crop will also increase area & production of Pulse & Oilseed crops even under rainfed condition.

• Rabi crops like Wheat, Mustard, Lentil, Maize, Groundnut & Summer crops like Sesame and Moong are the best suited crops under West Bengal situation.

Impact of NFSM in West Bengal at a glance

Cleaned Rice Productivity during 2011-12 (2485 kg/ha) in NFSM districts has been increased by 11% over 2006-07 (2235 kg/ha). The production of cleaned rice in the NFSM districts registered 33% growth over the base year(2006-07).

Wheat Productivity during 2011-12 (2521 kg/ha) in NFSM districts has been increased by 11% over 2006-07 (2278 kg/ha). Production of wheat in the NFSM districts registered 17% growth over the base year.

An all along increasing trend in Pulse productivity has been observed in NFSM-Pulse districts. Pulse productivity has reached 29% higher during 2011-12 (924 kg/ha) over 2006-07 (717 kg/ha).

After inclusion of all districts under NFSM-Pulse from 2010-11, the state average productivity of pulses has also been increased from 785 kg/ha during 2009-10 to 890 kg/ha during 2011-12 registering a 13% growth.

Strategies & Initiatives for XII th Plan

Agriculture growth beyond 4%. Food grain production growth fixed at 2%. Construction of Krishak bazaar(Mandi) at all blocks in a phased manner

with scientific facilities and advisory system

Promotion of production of non-basmati aromatic rice. Self sufficiency and timely availability of quality seeds and other

agricultural input. Topmost priority on expansion of area and production of pulses and

maize. KCC for all eligible farmers. Special emphasis on farm mechanization. Capacity building of Women, SC/ST and minority farmers. Crop diversification, alternate crop, Integrated crop management

prioritized.

Interventions & Activities during 2013-141. Demonstration & related training on production technology

of major crops.

2. Strengthening/renovation of Govt. agricultural farms for quality seed production.

3. Production of vermi-compost and biofertilizers for efficient use of plant nutrients.

4. Seed multiplication for expansion of nonbasmati aromatic rice.

5. Establishment of new seed testing laboratories.

6. Establishment of seed processing unit along with seed villages in Bankura and Purulia.

7. Farm mechanization subsidy scheme with tractor, power-tiller, zero Till seed drill, Reapers and water lifting pumps.

8. One time assistance for purchase of small farm implements and electric connection to agril. water lifting pumps upto 5 hp.

9. Stress on popularization of organic farming in the state.

Good Practices & Success Stories

• One time assistance of Rs.8000/- for electric connection to agril water lifting pump upto 5hp benefiting 31125 farmers.

• One time assistance @Rs.5000/- benefiting 30000 farmers for purchasing small implements.

• More than 5 lakhs KCC upto December 2012.

• Excavation/re excavation of new/old water bodies for better utilization of permissible runoff water.

Specific Issues of the State

• Soil testing and universalisation of soil health card.

• Scheme for farm mechanization—one time assistance to farmers for increasing coverage under electric pumps within 5 hp.

• Opening of Agriculture colleges.

• Integrated mission on Agricultural mechanization through promotion of small implements.

Critical Gaps in State Plan Increasing cost of Production & integration of

farmer owned natural resources to the agricultural production system to reduce the cost.

Possible future nutrient imbalance in soil due to reduced utilization of high cost Phosphatic & Potassic fertilizer.

Substitution of fossil fuel energy by renewable sources like Solar, wind and bio energy and its related research and development aspect.

Insufficient integration of Agricultural production system and farmers aggregation resulting un-remunerative price from the market.
