  2. Chhattisgarh–An Overview Agro Climatic Zones • Sub-divided into three agro climatic zones. • Geog. area : 138 lakh ha. • Forest cover : 63.36 lakh ha. (46%) Net sown area : 47.75 lakh ha. (35 % of its geog. area) • 57 % soil is medium to light. • Average rainfall : 1327 mm. • Net Irrigated Area : 16.87 lakh ha (35%) • Farm families : 37.46 lakh • 80% small & marginal Farmers • 32% ST, 12 % SC • Cropping intensity : 138 % Northern Hills Zone Chhattisgarh Plains Zone Bastar Plateau Zone 1

  3. Source wise Irrigated Area (Area in Lakh ha.) Agro Climatic Zones Northern Hills Zone Chhattisgarh Plains Zone Bastar Plateau Zone *Protective irrigation 2

  4. Rainfall Status • Rainfall in the state, on the whole, is almost normal. • Average State rainfall recorded upto 12th Sept. 1022.3 mm which is 102 % of the normal rainfall of corresponding period. Month-wise Normal / Actual Rainfall : (In mm) 3

  5. KHARIF ASSESMENT 2014 Estimated Crop Coverage Unit- 000 Ha. Production Estimate Unit- 000 MT 4

  6. Kharif - Crop-wise Coverage  Sowing of Horse Gram and Niger is normally done upto September end. Estimated area mentioned for these crops includes area to be sown. 5

  7. RABI PROSPECTS – 2014-15 • Area coverage under Rabi crops mainly depends on Sept.-Oct. rains as around 80 % Rabi crops are grown under rainfed condition. • Targeted area for Rabi crops 18.76 lakh ha. which is 7 % higher over last year. Unit : Lakh ha. 6

  8. Proposed crop coverage Rabi- 2014-15 7

  9. Rabi Seed Requirement and Availability in Qtls. 8

  10. Fertilizer - Demand and Availability for Rabi 2014-15 (Coop.+Pvt. Sector) Unit : Lakh MT 9

  11. Group-I MANAGEMENT OF SOIL HEALTH • State initiatives for improvement of Soil Health : • Thrust on Soil test based application of major and micro nutrient. • Distribution of Soil health cards : 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 (Target) • 94,825 1,16,025 1,25,000 • Promotion for use of green manuring - Implementing state scheme to conduct demonstration on green manuring under which 80% subsidy on green manuring seed is provided to farmers. • No. of demonstrations - 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 (Target) • 21,220 24,239 25,000 • Financial assistance to farmers for construction of wormi compost units under RKVY. • No. of wormi compost units - 2012-13 2013-14 2014-15 (Target) • 10,331 - - • Emphasis on use of bio-fertilizers - • No. of Packt distributed 2012-13- 2013-14 2014-15 (Target) • 14,50,470 16,92,215 17,60,475 10

  12. Group-I Issues and Suggestions 1.Chhattisgarh State has only 7 static and 4 mobile soil testing lab with total annual analyzing capacity of 1 lakhs soil samples. Total farm families in the state are 37.46 lakhs and net sown area 47.75 lakhs ha. - Existing soil testing facility is not enough to cater the need of the state, hence establishment of new soil testing lab is needed not only in Government sector but also in private sector. - Under soil health management component of NMSA 80% financial assistance is admissible for the establishment of soil testing lab under State Government sector similar financial assistance should also be made available for NGO and other private institutions. 2. Green manuring helps in improvement of soil health but availability of good quality green manuring seed inadequate quantity is the major constraint for area expansion under green manuring. - It is suggested that under Soil Health Management Scheme provision should be made for production and distribution subsidy on green manuring seed. 11

  13. Group-II CROP INSURANCE The main objective of crop insurance schemes are to provide financial support to the farmers in event of failure of crop due to natural calamities. In Chhattisgarh following crop insurance schemes were implemented :- 12

  14. Group-II CROP INSURANCE Whether Based Crop Insurance Scheme (WBCIS) Business Statistics for Kharif & Rabi season 13

  15. National Agriculture Insurance Scheme (NAIS) Business Statistics for Kharif season from 2000 to 2013 14

  16. National Agriculture Insurance Scheme (NAIS) Business Statistics for Rabi season from 1999-00 to 2012-13 15

  17. National Agriculture Insurance Scheme (NAIS) Season - KHARIF 16

  18. National Agriculture Insurance Scheme (NAIS) Season - RABI 17

  19. Issues & Suggestions 1. Under MNAIS Number of crop cutting experiments will be increased manifold due to reduction in insurance unit area to village / village panchayat which requires more man power / infrastructure. Suggestion :- State may be allowed to implement it at higher unit area level (Cluster of Villages / Revenue Circle) for initial 2 years and such states should also be permitted for reimbursement of expenses of crop cutting experiments. 2. Under NMAIS Premium rates are high as compare to NAIS. Suggestion :- To make the schemes attractive and farmer friendly premium rate should be restricted to at par with NAIS. 3. This schemes is compulsory for Loanee farmer. Suggestion :- It should be optional for Loanee farmers. 4. A new crop insurance scheme should be formulated which may provide risk cover against yield loss due to biotic and abiotic factors and also due to deviation in weather parameter. 18

  20. Agriculture Credit Through CCB 19

  21. Group-III Seed Rolling Plan Issues & Suggestions: • According to section 5 & 9(1) of Seed Act 1966 there is provision of certification of notified varieties only, but there is not any provision for certification of varieties released by State release committee. Suggestion :- Proposed to be mention in the Seed Act 1966. • Varieties recommended for the State according to zone-wise. • Suggestion :- It is proposed that varieties recommended for the States should be according to the Agro Ecological Situation of the particular area of the State instead of zone wise recommendation by the GOI. • For Example : Rice Crop Variety Indira Barani Dhan-1, is suitable for upland Plain Areas of Chhattisgarh. • Discouraging old varieties (more than 10 years) by gradually reducing subsidy. • Suggestion:- Varieties though old (more than ten years) but suitable for the particular region of the state and farmers preferring such varieties due to superior traits/higher productivity should be considered for providing subsidy under various Govt. scheme. 20

  22. Group-IV Strategy to Enhance the Oilseed and Pulses Production Issues & Suggestions: A. Area expansion- promotion of inter cropping of (i) Linseed + Gram (ii) Mustard + Gram (iii) Safflower + Gram (iv) Gram + Coriander (v) Groundnut + Pigeonpea (vi) Urid + Pigeonpea- B. Popularization of pigeon pea in rabi season. C. Promotion of moong and urid in rabi season and spring season. D. Promotion of cowpea and field pea in specific areas of low soil pH E. Promotion of low toxin improved varieties of lathyrus. F. Promotion of improved utera cultivation of pulse and oil seed crops like- Linseed, Lathyrus, Urid, Moong. G. Promotion of bund cultivation of Arhar, Cowpea, Niger, Sesame & Castor. H. Promotion of inter crop of Arhar/ Sesame with upland rice under aerobic conditions of Surguja and Bastar regions. I. Use of Mo @ 3g/kg seed as seed treatment to be popularized for better nodulation in pulse crops. 21
