  32. Natural Resource Management • Total Reported Area 242.02 lac ha. • Net Cultivated Area 168.12 lac ha. • Total Problem Area 120.44 lac ha. (Area in Lac ha.)

  33. Reclamation Targets- (2007-12)

  34. Salient Features of Reclamation Programme 1-About 4.50 lakh hectare additional area would be brought under cultivation for the first time. 2- About 6.00 to 8.00 qtl./ha increase in productivity. 3- Reduction in Soil erosion and sedimentation. 4- Optimum rain water management/harvesting and increase in Ground Water Table by 1.50 to 2.00 mts. 5- Minimum appreciation of Rs 50,000 per ha in the value of new land brought under cultivation. 6- Improvement in economic condition of small/marginal farmers & landless labourers through employment generation & land allotment.

  35. Strengthening of ISOPOM with focus on quality seed production of pulses/oilseeds. 6

  36. Objectives • To enhance production by increasing area and productivity of Oilseeds, Pulses and Maize. • Self reliance in Oilseeds, Pulses and Maize. • To support small & marginal classes of farmers. • Emphasis on gender focused programme.

  37. Plan of Action • Raising subsidy on foundation/certified seeds up to 50% of the actual cost. • Allowing purchase of HDPE pipe up to 75 to 110 mm diameter and raising subsidy to 50% of the actual cost. • Supply of steel storage grain bin on 50% subsidy to small & marginal farmers. • Allowing subsidy on sprinkler set from 30% to 50% of actual cost for each set. • Raising inputs subsidy on block demonstration from Rs. 2000 to 6000 per hectare. Contd…..

  38. 100% subsidy on soil testing including micro nutrients. • Enhance subsidy on seed production. • Allow Rs. 6000 per ha. input subsidy for seed grower group. • Incentive to farmers for highest production. • Incentive to extension workers. • 50% subsidy on the premium of crop insurance.

  39. Quality Seed Production • Identification of Seed Villages for different crops. • Formation and registration of Seed Growers’ Groups (S.G.G.) for 5-10 hectare area. • For forward linkage, agreement, amongst seed grower S.G.G.,U.P. Seed Corporation and Department of agriculture to ensure the purchase of seed produced at profitable rates will be done. • Foundation seed production would be encouraged by SAU’s and purchase of seed produced would be ensured by M.O.U. between SAU and state U.P. Seed Corporation. Contd…..

  40. Seed village programme under ISOPOM needs revisiting. Under this programme subsidy on seed growing should be increased from Rs. 500/- to Rs. 1000/- per qtl. • Block demonstration may be converted into seed growing programme. M.O.U. between U.P. Seed corporation, growers and Agriculture Department would be ensuring for purchasing of produced.

  41. Impact on productivity as a result of major initiatives taken during the 10th Five Year Plan 7

  42. Initiatives of 10th Plan • Crop insurance • Agriculture Development Fund • Bhoomi Sena • State Subsidy on Certified Seed • Strengthening of Soil Health • Transfer of Technology • Production of Organic Manure • Establishment of Soil Testing Lab. in newly created Districts/Divisions. • Establishment of Fertilizer Quality Control Lab. • Strengthening of Govt. Agriculture Farms.

  43. Impact of Bhoomi Sena Yojna • Under Bhoomi Sena Yojna 1.98 lac Ha. area has been reclaimed since Oct 2005. • 224.40 lac mandays created since inception. • An additional area of 19429 ha brought under cultivation reclaimed during 2005-06 . • Appreciation of about Rs. 50,000/ha in the value of newly area brought under cultivation with total value around Rs. 97.15 crore. • An increase of 20118 ha (78%) in coverage over kharif 2005. • Nearly 62791 MT (186%) increase in production during Kharif 2006 which is equivalent to Rs. 37.78 crores. • 7.97 qt/ha (60%) increase in productivity of Kharif crops over the previous year.

  44. Reasons of Stagnated Production • No significant break through and Genetic improvement. • Fragmentation of farm holdings (Avg. holding size 0.83 ha.). • 38 lakh ha. under Rainfed agriculture. • High cost of cultivation due to increased cost of diesel. (65% area under diesel operated tube wells) • Presence of 55.95 lac hectare area under degraded lands. • Weak Technology Dissemination system. • Poor Soil Health & decreasing ground water table . Contd…

  45. Increased Susceptibility To Pests. • Conversion of productive agriculture land to non-agriculture use. • High Cost of Hybrid Seeds. • Crop loans on high interest rate from non-institutional resources/ Mahajans. • Issue of Minimum Support Price. • Irregular Monsoon and unpredictable weather.

  46. 8 Issues For Consideration of GOI

  47. Issues For Consideration of GOI • Reduction of interest rate on agricultural credit from prevailing 7% to 4%. • 50% subsidy on drip & sprinkler irrigation system for all crops. • Enhancement of subsidy on seed from prevailing Rs. 200/- per quintals. • Introduce a system for fixing price of hybrid seeds. • GOI should continue to make arrangement for import of DAP for one more year. • Arrangement of 1.54 lakh m.t. of DAP, 0.80 lakh m.t. of NPK is yet to be done for Kharif 07 as per the plan submitted by companies. Supply plan for MOP not yet provided by the suppliers. Contd….

  48. 19 Districts do not have rake points. • In case of RVP /FPR schemes there are certain limitations which do not suit to a large state like UP viz.- • Selected River should be of inter-state in nature. • Survey and Delineation of Codes took many years which delays the implementation of the projects. • In NWDPRA scheme funding support system needs to be changed. 50% subsidy may be allowed for household production system.
