8. SRI Demonstration Yield (demo plot) : 50.71 q/ha. Farmers Plot : 33.45 q/ha. Nursery Transplanted Field Crop on maturity Weeding

9. NFSM (Pulses) - Bund Cultivation & Intercropping Arhar on Paddy Bund Soybean + Arhar

10. NFSM (Pulses) - A3P Demonstration Arhar Yield : 14.40 q/ha.

11. NFSM (Pulses) : Demonstration Gram in Paddy Fallow Yield (demo plot) - 17.50 q/ha. Yield farmer's plot - 11.90 q/ha.

12. BGREI - Financial Progress (Rs. in Cr.)

13. BGREI 2011-12 : Physical Progress (Rs. in Cr.) *To be utilized for Maize demonstrations during Rabi / Summer and costruction of micro-minor Irrigation tanks

14. BGREI : Outcome • Increasing area under Irrigation • - 224 Check dams & 94 Micro-minor Irrigation Tanks constructed - 5,000 ha. additional area brought under irrigation. • Adoption of Improved practices % increase over 2009-10 • Rice : • - Use of quality seeds (SRR - 30%) 10% • - Area under hybrid rice 105% • - Area under Line sowing 75% • - Area under transplantation 33% • - Area under SRI 74% • Maize : • - Area under Hybrid maize 28% • Increase in productivity 2009-10 2011-12 % Increase • (estd.) • - Rice 1408 176025% • - Maize 1440 182026%

15. BGREI - Water Harvesting Structure Check Dam Micro-minor Irrigation Tank

16. BGREI (2010-11) • Hybrid Rice Demonstration in PPP mode with SRI. • District Bilaspur • Private Partner Dhanya Seeds • Yield per ha. - 59 quintals SRI - Weeding Crop at maturity

17. BGREI - Paddy Line Sowing Demonstration Midland variety - Bamleshwari (New Variety) Yield 44 qntl / ha. Upland variety - MTU-1010

18. 60,000 Pulse Villages Programme (Rs. in Cr.) * The saving is proposed to be utilized in block demonstration of Pulses during Rabi

19. INSIMP - Physical Progress (Rs. in Cr.)

20. INSIMP - Financial Progress (Rs. in Cr.) • * Reasons : • - Inadequate availability (only 40%) of certified seeds. • - Saving in use of Chemical fertilizer / Pesticide. • - Excess allocation on training component (3.20 / 10.24 cr.) • Seed production programme taken up in 382 ha. 2000 qtls quality seeds to be produced next year. • Amount is proposed to be utilized for revised work plan under normal RKVY.

21. INSIMP - Demonstration Kodo Millets Ragi Millets

22. Estimated Kharif Production 2011 - Average rainfall : 102% of normal - 15 out of 18 districts received normal rainfall with fair distribution - Estimated growth - 3%

23. WHEAT PROGRAMME & STRATEGY PROGRAMME : STRATEGY : - Encouraging timely sowing of Wheat. - Use of high temperature tolerant Wheat varieties. - Promoting use of sprinkler system. - Prevalence of yellow rust not observed in the state.

24. RABI PREPAREDNESS • District-wise Rabi Programme has been finalized and arrangement of inputs reviewed at divisional level meetings. • DEMAND AND AVAILABILITY OF INPUTS - SEED : (Unit- '000Qtls.) - FERTILIZER : (Unit- MT) - CREDIT THROUGH CO-OP. BANKS : (Unit- Cr.)

25. Initiatives • Rabi area expansion : • Rabi cropped area to be increased by 10% (1.70 lakh ha.) with especial emphasis on pulses. • Quality seeds distribution (Rabi) : • Increase of 17% • Introduction of new varieties in pulses : • Gram : JAKI - 9218, JG-11, JG-63 • Seed Production Programme (Pulses) being taken up in 8,000 ha. • Additional Rabi area of 8,000 ha. to be brought under Micro Irrigation (Sprinkler System) in pulses.

26. Status of Fund Mobilization • Average time taken for release of funds to field agencies schemes - 1 month from the date of receipt of allocation. • - To be reduced to 15 days from next year

27. Issues for Consideration • From the current year, untied grant to states under BGREI & other sub-schemes has been reduced to 20% of allocation. This needs reconsideration. Original funding pattern should be restored so as to address state specific needs. • The mandatory requirement of 100% utilization of previous year's allocation for release of 2nd installment during subsequent year needs review. It may be reduced to 80%. • Demonstraion: Component –wise cost norms may be left to the states • Farm pond construction : Unit cost for poly lining fixed at Rs. 0.40 lakh (with 50% subsidy component) is substantially less than the actual cost (approximately Rs. 1 lakh). Unit cost needs upscaling. • Unit cost of Sprinkler System under NFSM (Pulses) needs upward revision in line with NMIS.
