  20. Bank credit delivery on increase but not enough 1

  21. AGRICULTURE CREDIT-2004-2005 • 10319 crores against 8768 in 2003-2004 • 7.87 lakh new farmers covered • 31.76 crores given to 2590 RMGs CREDIT PLAN OF Rs 15079 CRORES FOR CROP LOANS DURING 2005 -06 PROJECTED BY NABARD MORE EMPHASIS ON TIMELY&ADEQUATE CREDIT WIDE PUBLICITY PLANNED ON SCALE OF FINANCE 1

  23. TARGETED AREA, PRODUCTIVITY AND PRODUCTION DURING KHARIF 2005 1

  24. TARGETTED AREA AND PRODUCTION FOR KHARIF 2004 1

  25. NEED TO INCREASE SEED SRR -A CRITICAL INPUT TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITYSTRENGHTENING OF STATE SEED FARMS AND SEED VILLAGE PROGRAMME • 27 state seed farms strengthened to produce foundation seed to meet seed village programme requirements. • 10,000 Qtls of foundation seed produced during this Rabi • 16,600 Qtls of Foundation seed production planned during Kharif 2005 SEED VILLAGE PROGRAMME • 65000 qtls of certified seed production is expected during Rabi 2004-05 in seed village programme in322 villages • 250000 Qtls of certified seed production is planned during Kharif 2005 to increase SRR by 6 % additionally through SVP in 1100 villages ISSUE:NSC should supply Foundation seed at subsidised rates to SVP and not at the same cost as they supply to pvt. Seed producers. 1

  30. NEED TO SHIFT TO WATER CONSERVATION TECHNOLOGIES • Advocating I.D and rain fed crops under major commands keeping water inflows in view • Water minimization practices like SRI cultivation • Promoting paddy cultivation under optimal moisture conditions and diversification under wells and bore wells • Measures for sustainability in dryland agriculture through NWDPRA & RVP 1

  31. ISSUES – SUPPORT REQUIRED • A.P. State Seed Bill 2004 proposed for effective regulation of all kinds and varieties of seeds and submitted to GOI for concurrence may be cleared • Seed village programme to be made as separate programme to provide foundation seed with subsidy, payment of rouging and certification charges, promoting small processing units as group activity etc. An amount of Rs. -----Lakhs required to support SVP during Kharif 2005 • Biofertilizers and bioagents to be promoted under separate programme of biovillages and establishment and strengthening of biofertilizer and biopesticides labs to be promoted • The operational charges for implementation of NAIS with village as insurance unit need to be borne by GOI and sharing of financial risk in the ratio of 80:20 between GOI and State Govt. instead of present 50:50 1 Cont..
