2. DETAILS OF DISTRICT (2015-16)
Kullu district is situated in the Inner Himalayas between 300 51’ 00” North latitude and 770 06’ 04” East
longitude. The altitude of the district ranges from 500 m to 5000 m amsl, but the habitation is only up to 3500 m.
In terms of geographical conditions the district is mountainous cruised by rivers & valleys. The Satluj and Beas
are the principal rivers with many tributaries. The district has been divided into five blocks viz. Naggar, Kullu,
Banjar, Ani and Nirmand. There are 204 Gram Panchayats and 172 revenue villages having many hamlets. Total
population is 4,37,474 as per 2011 census (Male 2,24,320 and Female 2,13,154).
Net cultivated area is 37,263 ha. 28,539 ha is cultivated more than once thus making the total cultivated
area to 65,802 ha. Only 2905 ha is irrigated which comes to 7.8 per cent of the net cultivated area. Out of 62,625
total operational holdings 0.02 % (13) are very large, 0.79 % (495) large, 4.84 % (3031) medium, 13.87 % (8686)
small and 80.47 % (50,400) marginal.
The district experiences mild summers and severe winter due to snow fall on mountain ranges. December
marks the onset of winter which continues till the end of February, sometimes continuing till the month of March.
The snow and sleet fall in the upper region while rains are confined to the lower areas. From March onwards
weather begins to warm up accelerating growth of rabi (winter) crops. Hailstorms are received sometimes during
April & May causing considerable damage to field crops and fruits. Monsoon begins in the end of June or
beginning of July and recedes by the middle of September. In winter, heavy rainfall in lower belt and snow in
higher belt is received due to western disturbances.

Zone Characteristics
1 Mid-hill sub-humid zone
The elevation of this zone varies from 651 to 1800m amsl. Soil texture varies from loam to clay loam and soils are deficient in N & P with poor water & nutrient holding capacity. Soils are acidic in reaction. The average rainfall is about 1500mm. In this zone, wheat, paddy, maize, seed potato, pulses and oilseeds are the main crops Stone and citrus fruits occupy considerable area. Forest and pastures are also important in this zone.
2 High-hills temperate wet zone
The elevation of this zone lies above 1800m amsl. The soils are shallow in depth, acidic in reaction, silt loam to loam in texture and deficient in N & P. Terrace farming is practiced. Soil erosion, low fertility and inadequate water management are main problems of this zone. The main crops are wheat, maize, paddy, barley, pulses and oilseeds. Mostly rainfed farming is practiced. The average rainfall is about 1000mm. This zone is suitable for raising off-season vegetable and seed production of temperate vegetable, Apple, other temperate fruits and nuts are important horticultural crops.
3 High-hills temperate dry zone
The elevation of this zone lies above 2501m amsl. The soils are shallow in depth and sandy loam in texture with low fertility. The main crops are barley, wheat, potato, buckwheat, peas, millets, temperate vegetables and dry fruits. The average rainfall is about 1000mm.

Introduction : Mixed farming is the choice of farmers in the hill agro-ecosystem and livestock is an inseparable
component of hill agriculture. Livestock not only supplement the family income but also contributes FYM which is an essential requirement of largely rain-fed agriculture of this region. Smallholder dairy farming is becoming a driving force behind the transformation of the hill economy. The transformation is more pronounced in areas near to roads as compared to far flung areas in the district where there is inadequate market access.
Adoption of good management practices like balanced concentrate feeding, availability of green fodder, conservation and enrichment of available fodders, scientific raising of calves, provision of sufficient ventilation and cleanliness in animal sheds, prophylaxis against diseases and parasites can go a long way in improving the production of the animals. KVK Intervention:
The Krishi Vigyan Kendra identified 18 self help groups each comprising of 8-10 women interested in dairy farming during the last three years. After identifying the major problems like scarcity of fodder, low productivity of animals, parasite and disease infestation etc. exhaustive training programmes were conducted and various interventions mostly in the form of observation trials cum demonstrations were planned for these self help groups.
The proven technologies viz. making of balanced concentrate ration at house hold level, feeding of mineral mixture, supplementation of animals with UMMB, cultivation of green fodder, enrichment of straws and local grasses with urea and molasses, silage making for lean periods, control of parasites and clean milk production which can be easily adopted by the farmers were chosen and put on for demonstrations. Farmer- farmer interactions regarding the results of these technologies demonstrated were conducted in the
APR 2015-16

regular meetings of the groups. These efforts had a catalytic influence on the improvement in the knowledge and the initial reluctant farm women were able to assess the economic benefits of the technologies demonstrated and so the out scaling was accelerated leading to improved health, better reproductive performance and higher yields. Output Table: Performance of Jersey Cross bred cattle after adoption of scientific management practices by women farmers Parameter Before training After training Calf mortality (%) 15-20 5-7 Puberty in Heifers (months) 24.8 16.42 Age at first conception (months) 26.86 18.28 Milk yield in one lactation (liters) 1500-2000 2200-3000 Calving interval (years) 2.89 1.23 Incidence of disease and parasites High Low Outcome
Mrs. Oma Sharma, is one amongst the successful dairy farmers and she is the leader of women self help group of village Bajaura. Her family owns 0.8 ha of land and earlier they were engaged in cereal production and part of the land was under fruit trees. She had two cows of Jersey breed each producing 3-4 liters of milk/day. She started a small dairy unit of 5 animals after coming in contact with KVK Kullu in the year 2011. She got training and education on scientific and technological innovations in animal breeding, feeding, health care, milk quality handling and marketing in different programmes conducted by this KVK and started managing her dairy on scientific lines. She expanded her business and purchased 4 more high yielding animals in open auctions conducted by KVK (animals of dairy demonstration unit of KVK) in the year 2012 and 2013. She realized that it was not profitable to sell the milk in the local village market as she was not getting remunerative price. She contacted Himachal Milk Federation Cooperative Society and started by selling 25 liters of milk daily to them. At present with a herd of 8 cows, 3 heifers and 2 female calves she is supplying 65-70 liters of milk daily. Seeing her success other women of the area showed interest in this activity. She formed a group with 25 other women of the
area who were selling 2-10 liters of milk individually in the local market. The group was trained on making balanced ration for cattle at household level, green fodder cultivation, nutritional enrichment of fodder, prophylaxis against diseases and clean milk production by KVK. In 2013 the group got loan of Rs. 1 lakh to purchase high yielding animals and construction of semi pucca animal sheds under the Dudh Ganga Yojna run by the state Government. This women group is currently procuring 800-1000 liters of milk daily from 55 farmers of the nearby villages and is selling to the society. The group has procured electronic gadgets to record the quantity and quality (fat percentage, SNF) of milk supplied by the farmers. The farmers get the most reasonable rates of the milk through the society and the payment is done monthly. The milk federation is also supporting the group by supplying quality fodder seeds, concentrate ration at subsidized rate to the women farmers. They are now aware of the market linkages and are able to analyze the market by themselves. They have realized that with their own management skills, they can bring economic changes in their own lives.

Impact : Horizontal Spread: Though selling of milk contributes about 25% income of rural households in district Kullu but dairy farming has always been considered as a secondary source of livelihood. Impressed by the success of these women dairy farmers, large number of women farmers are now maintaining small dairies of 3-5 high yielding animals with improved management practices. Adoption pattern of the improved dairy husbandry practices was studied among the 200 farmers who have attended trainings on dairy management or were part of the front line demonstrations conducted by KVK Kullu Table: Adoption of improved dairy practices by dairy farm

9. B. Give details of innovative methodology/technology developed and used for Transfer of Technology
during the year • To increase outreach of KVK to every nook and corner of the district, good liaison has been made with
all the stakeholders (Govt. Departments and NGOs including Yuvak Mandals and Mahila Mandals, and Fruit & Vegetable Growers’ Associations) for effective implementation of KVK programmes.
• Group leaders and progressive farmers are being trained and utilized as master trainers. • Some of self help groups have been associated/ linked with KVK and regular monthly meetings of these
are convened to review the progress and chalk out further programmes. Services of these groups are being utilized to motivate other farmers through participation in training and exhibitions.
• In case of training & pruning in apple and other temperate fruits, local rural youths are being trained in groups to perform this important operation in orchards on contract basis for providing them avenue for earning.
