  1. NFSM- Concepts to Results Exciting Prospects…

  2. Executive Summary Mission has performed satisfactorily from the first crop season itself meeting the annual production targets for wheat, rice and pulses Operational aspects have been stabilized making timely mid course correction in the guidelines to improve the reach and coverage of the programs Concurrent evaluation is needed to find the reasons for inter district variations in productivity levels to plan the right mix of interventions specific for those districts Time to shift gears to launch into higher levels of achievement- better planning and quality improvement

  3. Structure • Mission • Initiatives at GOI level • Performance of the States • Expectations from the States • Planning for Kharif

  4. Mission Bridging the yield gaps in the low productivity districts through provisioning of end-to-end programs that aid the envisaged increase in the production of food grains by 2012. Close monitoring and concurrent evaluation to ensure delivery of the expected performance Strategic initiative with focused attention in the target districts for ensuring food security of the country

  5. Challenges Administration Technology • Relatively poor governance in the low productivity districts • Demotivated extension staff • Low institutional presence for sustained support • Lack of effective coordination among multiple organizations created to over come area and human resource deficits • Mainly drought or flood prone area • Low seed replacement rate • Alkaline or acidic soil • Lack of adequate soil nutrients including the micro nutrients • Low penetration of Farm Machines

  6. Measurable components Meeting farmers’ requirements Direct Funding Consultants and Technical Assistants Decentralized decision making

  7. Actions taken/initiated at GOI level

  8. NFSM portal • www.nfsm.gov.in ; States to register their websites through the State Informatics officer, NIC • www.intradac.nic.in to provide up to date information on NFSM- plans, releases, clarifications, notifications, presentations, progress reports, state profiles. All State APCs, Pri Secy, Mission Directors can access this site. • Links to Seednet and other related sites available • MIS being developed for reporting progress directly from Panchayat level

  9. Activities in the pipeline---- • Leveraging electronic interconnectivity of the banks for linking banking transactions of the Mission Account to the MIS • Log Frame analysis based Performance assessment of states/ districts for recognition with awards • MOU with IRRI for technology transfer and capacity building on drought, submergence and salt tolerant rice varieties • State/ district level Trainings with the involvement specialised agency such as MANAGE

  10. Budget Allocation

  11. Budget Releases: in Crores as on 15th March,2009

  12. Performance of NFSM-Rice states 08-09 ( Physical Achievement %)

  13. Performance of NFSM Wheat states (Physical Achievement in %)

  14. Performance of NFSM Pulses states (Physical Achievement in %)

  15. Encouraging trends... achievements (%) during 07-08 &08-09**

  16. Lessons drawn

  17. Planning process for Kharif 2009

  18. Time schedule for placing the inputs at Block level for Kharif Rice

  19. Operational Urgent issues • Single Proposal need to be submitted for total pulses area in the State bifurcating requirement for NFSM Pulses and under ISOPOM • Proposal seeking relaxation of age of Seed varieties needs to be sent early to ensure benefit of distribution subsidy to the farmers • Local Initiatives need to be imaginatively planned • Sourcing of seeds from other Seed producing agencies – Central or State for the variety of quality seeds that is being demanded as a result of demonstrations and seed minikits • Quality assurance by ensuring by involving SAUs, and KVKs for demonstrations, FFS and seed minikits

  20. Technical Issues No seed production rolling plan especially for pulses where coordination with IIPR required No strategy for pulse area expansion No strategy for Hybrid Rice promotion No strategy for popularizing appropriate farm machines developed by SAUs Sources for liming material and for gypsum not identified as also the area for promotion

  21. Expectations Get the Benchmark Survey Completed to prepare for proper concurrent evaluation Analyze reasons for inter district variations for providing supplementary interventions from other Schemes like RKVY or State Plan Dove tail crop development initiatives of the State Plan with mission interventions rather than competing Appoint the consultants and technical assistants on contract basis at State and Districts Make State Mission Director more accountable for timely delivery of services by empowerment

  22. Overall, A lot more needs to be done Time to shift into top gear for more vigorous implementation to deliver still higher level of quality agricultural services to the farmers by closely monitoring the key components of the mission

  23. We can achieve the target Marching towards Anna Sampanna Bharat
