  4. REVIEW OF KHARIF AREA & PRODUCTIVITYOF MAJOR KHARIF CROPS (Area in lakh hectare & Productivity in Kg per hectare) * Due to drought like situation during Kharif, 2006, an area of 2.95 lakh hectares of Winter Rice remain uncovered, which is the major contributor towards total Rice output of the State.

  8. PROGRAMME PROPOSED TO OVERCOME THE LOSS DUE TO FLOOD In order to compensate the loss caused by flood a contingency plan is proposed for implementation in three phases (late Kharif, Pre Rabi & Rabi) for all the affected farm families covering all the affected districts. The proposed programme are as follows : • Immediate Measure - Coverage of flood damaged area of Sali paddy by paddy seeds (direct seeded under delayed condition) and locally procured Sali paddy seedlings.. • Pre Rabi Programme - More coverage with Pulses like Blackgram and Greengram. • Rabi Programme - Special programme on Rabi crops viz., Wheat, Rape & Mustard, Pea, Lentil, Summer Rice, Rabi Vegetables, Potato and Onion. • Irrigation and mechanization support under various departmental programmes including AACP – a World Bank assisted programme.

  35. NATIONAL FOOD SECURITY MISSION • National Food Security Mission, a Centrally Sponsored Scheme is proposed to be implemented from 2007-08 with three components – • National Food Security Mission – Rice (NFSM-Rice) • National Food Security Mission – Wheat (NFSM-Wheat) • National Food Security Mission – Pulses (NFSM-Pulses) NFSM-Rice : • For implementation of NFSM – Rice, only 13 districts out 27 districts of the State are included under the mission by GOI ignoring Rice area of 10.50 lakh hectares in remaining 14 districts. • Total area under Rice is around 24 lakh hectares, which is 63% of gross cropped area of the State. • All the 27 districts are potential for Rice cultivation and considering this aspect and also to ensure food security in the State all the districts need to be included in NFSM-Rice.

  36. NFSM-Pulses : • Under NFSM-Pulses, no district of the State has been included. • There is vast potential of expansion of area under Pulses in all the districts of the State including the riverine areas spreading over 14 districts and occupying around 10% of Net Cropped Area of the State. • Present area coverage under Pulses is only 3% of Gross Cropped Area of the State. • Total Rice fallow area of around 12 lakh hectares can be brought under Pulse cultivation.

  37. ADDITIONAL CENTRAL ASSISTANCE SCHEME AGRICULTURAL GROWTH TREND • In Assam growth of Agriculture at the end of 8th Plan was 1.13% which decreased to 0.39% at the end of 9th plan and registered further decline to -0.27% (anticipated) at the end of 10th plan. • Against the National Growth Target of 4% in Agriculture during 11th Plan, considering the present status of Agriculture in the State it is targeted to achieve 2% growth during 11th five year plan.

  38. YIELD GAP–ASSAMvsINDIA

  39. CROPWISE PRODUCTION DURING 10TH PLAN & ESTIMATED PRODUCTION AT THE END OF 11TH PLAN TO ACHIEVE 2% GROWTH. In case of Rice 3%, Fruits 1.5% and Vegetables 4% of annual growth have been taken to project production at the end of 11th plan. In other cases 2% annual growth have been taken.

  40. ACHIEVING 2% ANNUAL GROWTH IN 11TH PLAN - THE STRATEGIES

  41. ADDITIONAL CENTRAL ASSISTANCE SCHEME • An analysis of the growth rate of Agriculture sector reveals that Assam has suffered a deceleration to the tune of (-)0.27% during 10th Plan period. • It has become essential for the State to be district oriented and strike upon hurdles faced at grass root level by farmers to bring an improvement in growth in Agriculture Sector. • Target of at least 2% growth in Agriculture Sector to be achieved during 11th Plan Period has been set. • Taking into account all the contributing factors that affect agricultural growth, Assam Agricultural Plan has been formulatedt to achieve a growth rate of 2% plus during 11th Plan Period. • Vertical and horizontal analysis of factors associated to achieve the desired growth is imperative and thus the District Plan for each of 27 districts of the State has been prepared. • Focus sectors are – • Irrigation • Farm Mechanization. • Quality seed and planting materials • Technology Dissemination • Fertiliser • Flow of credit • Marketing strategies.

  42. ESTIMATED REQUIREMENT OF FUND DURING 2007-08 TO ACHIEVE AT LEAST 2% GROWTH.
