  1. Interventions / Strategies for increasing Pulse production to achieve the target of 19+ million tonnes for the year 2013-14. Group IV Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Uttrakhanda Jharkhand ,Tripura.

  2. Importance of Pulses • Pulses – An integral part of diet as a source of Protein • Additional advantage for sustainable Agriculture • -Soil enriching capabilities thru ‘N’ fixatation & Organic Carbon • Used as Feed & Fodder • Improved Technology capable of Increasing Pulse Productivity by 30-40%

  3. In-situ Moisture Conservation Timely Sowing Opening of Broad Bed Furrows (BBF) Sowing on Raised Bed Bund Forming Ridge Planting Use of Raised Bed Planter

  4. Inter Cropping Cotton + Arhar Cotton + Arhar (As a Refugee in Bt Cotton) Soybean+ Arhar Bajara + Arhar Bajara + Moth Bean/Matki Cotton + Black Gram Cotton + Green Gram Sugarcane + Gram Horticulture + Pulses

  5. Area Expansion -Cultivation on Non Traditional Area -Fallow Land – Jharkhand,Tripura,Uttarakhanda -Relay Cropping in Rice Area -Dibbling of Pigeon Pea on Paddy Bunds

  6. Protective Irrigation • Far More rewarding if Micro Irrigation at Critical Stages • Fertigation at Branching and Pod Development Stages with • half dose of Nitrogen & Potash is recommended for Pigeon Pea • Useful in Saline Tracts • Use of Farm Ponds • Use of Micro irrigation in Pulses.

  7. Seeds • To promote promising varieties / hybrids • Early, Drought Tolerant,Disease & Pest Resistant Varieties • To Promote Seed Village Programme • Production as well as Distribution Subsidy is to be enhanced • Minikit Distribution on Massive scale

  8. Bidar Pattern in Red Gram • Seedling Preparation :-3 – 4 weeks prior to monsoon . • Spacing for:- • -Heavy soil:- 6 X 2 or 6 X 3 ft. • -Medium soil:-5X 2 or 5 X 3ft. • Nipping :- 20 - 30 days after transplanting • Escape mechanism for pest and moisture stress • Early planting Early harvest • Yield :- 40 % increase over normal

  9. IPM • Seed Treatment Campaign - Provision for Seed Dressing Drum • CROPSAP • -Use of Biopesticides • -Reduction in Cost of Plant Protection • - Wide Coverage advisories in short period

  10. Crop Pest Surveillance and Advisory Project (CROPSAP) (GoI e-Gov. 2011 Gold Award Project)

  11. Pest Monitoring and Advisory System Data from fixed and random fields 12000 ha. / week Village level SCOUT-551 One for 8 villages Feedback Data verification at SDAO level Agril. Supervisor- 64 One for 10 Scout END USER – FARMER ( Meeting at village level, 30000Villages) DATA ENTRY OPERATOR One for each A.S. ELITE FARMERS (5 Farmers/Viiage: 1.5 Lakh farmers) VILL. BOARDS, MEDIA SAU ON-LINE ENTRY (Every Wed. & Saturday) SMS form Detailed form SAUs / NCIPM / DOSR/CRIDA /CICR/ IIPR Dissemination of Advisory STATE STATE AGRIL DEPT ( 75 SDAOs) Data Analysis & issue of Advisory Monitoring, Analysis & Communication by State Monitoring Cell

  12. Institutional arrangement:- • Pest Scouts :- 808 at village level • (Agril.Diploma Holder) Having Jurisdiction of 12000 Ha. • Pest Monitors :- 84 at SDAO jurisdiction • (Agril.Graduate) For Supervision of 10 Scout • Data Entry Operator :- 84 at SDAO jurisdiction • Research Associate :- 20 at Institute level • (Post.Graduate) For data analysis & project work Coverage of the Programme 2012-13 Crops Covered :- Paddy :- 15.20 Lakh Ha, Soybean :- 32.18 Lakh Ha, Cotton :- 41.46 Lakh Ha Pigeonpea :- 10.31 Lakh Ha, Gram :- 12.47 Lakh Ha Total Area :- 111.62 lakh ha. Districts Talukas covered :- 33 covered :– 348

  13. Impact Analysis • 2012-13 • Total area 111.62 Lakh Ha (73 % of Kharif area and 91 % of Rabi Pulses Area) • Cost incurred /ha/year : Rs. 10.39 • Total no. of farmers covered 84.56 Lakh

  14. INM • Nutrition Management as per soil testing • Use of Sulpher • Foliar application of Nutrients at Flowing Stage.

  15. Storage Facilities • Provision for Rural Storage Structures • Incentiwise Storage Network at Rural and Tribal Area.

  16. Market Interventions • Network for Procurement Centers. • Promotion of FPOs and PCs. • Involvement of NGOs.

  17. Farm Mechanization & Value Addition • Support to Custom Hiring Services • Subsidy for Implements • Primary Processing e.g.Dal Mil , Spiral Seperator etc

  18. Project Based Cluster Approach • Project Area – should not exceed 50 Ha. • Group Size – 10 to 20 farmers • Participatory TOF • (Agril.Graduates, Diploma Holders, ACABC ventures )

  19. PPP- IAD in Maharashtra Initiative under the aegis of World Economic Forum, followed by series of meetings right from December 2011 along with WEF and private companies Commodity wise groups formed in collaboration with private partners and appointed nodal officers from Government of Maharashtra side. Project reports and action plan prepared and working guidelines issued, district and field level teams formed Monitoring of the projects- through regular weekly reporting and occasional teleconference with WEF to understand the issues in implementation. Development of cohesive commodity wise groups through better understanding each other helped in effective implementation of the projects.

  20. PPP Projects in Maharashtra

  21. PPP – Market Linkage of Small Holders • Projects Under PPP – 12 • Participating Companies – 20 • Farmers – 100000 • Area – 100000 Ha. • Project Cost – Rs 251.04 crore • Share of farmers & Pvt. Sector: Rs 139.20 cr • Government Share – Rs 111.83 crore

  22. Key Learnings • Public and Private technologies, extension machinery, resources pooled to increase productivity and develop end to end value chains. • Projectized extension approach for value chain development is very effective. • Involvement of all stakeholders right from the beginning in PPP projects is key factor.

  23. Key Learnings • Working on each others strengths- • Govt- funds/ budget, technical manpower, infrastructure support, and overall leadership • Private- marketing linkages, trained manpower, financial support, advanced technology support, professionalism, business model • Farmers- innovative and experimenting nature • Up scaling of initial success needs to be worked out

  24. An Agenda for Corporates • Reforms in APMC Act unexplored by corporate sector: Direct Marketing, Private Markets, Contract farming. • Budgetory incentives of 2004-05 / 2009-10 not yet exploited. • End-to-End value chain through convergence of all Government interventions never tried. • Warehousing Act / Rules in place along with E-trading are yet un-attended. • A framework for convergence ? 24
