Rajasthan Development of Horticulture through rain water harvesting: Fluctuations in area & prod. due to frequent drought conditions, We want to bring stability through rain water harvesting based fruit plantations having drought proofing power • Over exploiting ground water in almost all blocks of the state • Safe- 32 • Semi critical- 14 • Critical- 50 • Over exploited –140 dark zones • All 32 districts are endemic to fluoride problem • 25 districts are affected by salinity • Underground water quality is deteriorating (19%in 1991 to 25% in 2003) • Most of the soils are loamy fine to coarse sands, productive under irrigated situations with adequate fertilizers
Rapidly depleting ground Water: Rajasthan Total 237 blocks, Over exploited –140 (Dark zones), Rest critical Critical Safe • Area to be treated – 3000 ha. • Total no. of water resources- 300 Nos • Requirement of funds – 30.00 crores {<}
Protected cultivation: Rajasthan {<} • State government made provision of additional subsidy for green house construction. Now subsidy available for green house in the State is: • 75 % for SF/MF farmers instead of 50% under NHM • 50 % for other farmers instead of 33% under NHM

Innovative Proposal :1. Horticulture equipment/ Implements Rajasthan • To control the insect pest, Modern PP equipments are to be provided to the farmers on subsidized rates • For training, pruning and removing of unwanted growth financial assistance is proposed on horticulture implements • To impart intercultural operations in fruit orchards, small tractors are also to be popularised among the farmers to enhance the productivity of the fruit crops • Backpack sprayer, Power sprayer, Foot sprayer, Tractor/trolley mounted power sprayer, Horticulture tools, Small Tractor for intercultural operations in orchards etc. will be provided to the farmers • The assistance will be given @ 50% of total cost of equipment/ Small Tractor / tools subject to ceiling of Rs. 10000/- per beneficiary. • During the year 2008-09, a financial provision of Rs.50.00 lacs has been kept for distribution of equipments/ tools.
Innovative Proposal : 2. Distribution of Drying Spices Sheets Rajasthan • Rajasthan contributes more than 50% of national production of seed spices • State is leading producer of coriander, cumin & fenugreek • Spices farmers are not adopting hygienic conditions during threshing • Many times heavy losses occurs and quality of the produce also gets spoiled • Farmers could not get attractive prices in domestic as well as international market • Distribution of plastic sheets for drying/ threshing of seed spices rather than to dry on ground may help in getting remunerative prices
Distribution of Drying Spices Sheets: Rajasthan • Technical specifications for drying spices sheets: • Five layered polythene sheet (6X8 meter), • 250 GSM (gram per square meter), • Color-Black • Both sides coated specially with reinforced HDPE fabric heavy duty 5 layers rigged with tear resistance strength, • Heat sealed edge reinforced with rope and humid with minimum 25 mm overlap fitted with eyelets 120 cm apart all round out to sizes • Financial assistance proposed: • 50 % of cost limited to Rs. 1000/- per sheet (6x8 mtr) • Maximum assistance admissible per beneficiary will be Rs. 5000. • For distribution of drying spices sheets and construction of cemented drying yards, a sum of Rs. 50.00 lacs is proposed for the year 2008-09. {>}
