  8. NFSM / RKVY • Utilization of funds under NFSM satisfactory. The yield levels by and large show increasing trend. • RKVY, utilization of funds is satisfactory. • For some States, funds allocated to Animal Husbandry are lower than the agri.GDP • Yield Gaps among the states still persist • Yield is highly susceptible to climatic variations

  9. Fertilizer -status • AP-Opening stocks are meagre, Stocks may be positioned by 15 April , Owing to price problem of complexes, units stopped production. Major allocation of DAP, Complex fertilizers may be made to local manufacturing units • Karnataka- Likely shortage of Complex fertilizers • Punjab- The supply of DAP during rabi was constrained • Rajasthan-There is a gap of 2.19 lakh MT of DAP against agreed plan by the manufacturers • Haryana and Gujarat- Situation is satisfactory

  10. Best Practices • Andhra Pradesh • Effective conduct of Farm Field Schools – 7677 in 3 years, Best farmer or farmwoman is considered as Facilitators, crop loans at 3% to farmers • Every village has its soil health map displayed and all farmers are educated on the soil health management • DNA finger printing and latest seed testing laboratories to check and ensure genetically pure seeds for farmers • Information Boards in the village displaying contact details of concerned agriculture officers • AGRISNET-IT support to Farmers Entire Portal in Telugu . • DAATT Centers in all districts -70 Scientists deployed

  14. Best Practices • Haryana • EDUSAT System for Tele Conferencing with field level officers once in a month • GIS application in agriculture for balanced use of fertilizers – soil fertility status maps along with micronutrient status, water quality maps and ground-water status maps • Krishi Sanvad magazine in all villages (24 dedicated pages on agriculture) • Promoting of mechanization of sugarcane farming • Application of remote sensing technique

  15. Best Practices • Rajasthan • Empowerment of women through special support to higher education • Promotion of Date palm and Olive through PPP • Kharif Abhiyan (15th May to 30th June) and Rabi Campaign (15th September to 15th October) covering all the 9189 Panchayats • Soil health enhancement –soil health cards and soil fertility mapping • PPP in Extension through corporate houses
