Implementation status of National Food Security Mission NFSM workshop- Raipur
Objectives of the regional workshop • To Create a platform for direct interaction of various stakeholders up to district level field functionaries • To Understand/ discuss the practical impediments – technical, administrative, management level of implementation & evolve suggestions • Enabling two way flow of information/knowledge
NFSM at a glance • 20 million tons of additional food grains to be produced; 10 of rice, 8 of wheat and 2 of Pulses • An outlay of Rs. 4883 crores provided over a period of five years, 2007-08 to 2011-12 • 312 districts to be covered in 17 States that are having very high yield gaps • 20 MHa of Rice, 13 MHa of Wheat and 17 MHa of Pulses, covering about 40 % of cropped area for focused attention Department of Agriculture & Cooperation

Experiences of NFSM Implementation in the last 4 crop seasons….. Growing together… Outputs &Outcomes…….
Encouraging signs • Improved production and productivity during 07-08 & 08-09 • State specific specialisations- T.N- SRI; U.P-Success story of rotavators; Orissa and A.P- Documentation of demonstrations • Improvement of productivity by more than 50% in some districts of Bihar, M.P where the original productivity is much lesser than the state productivity.
Significant outputs (07-08 & 08-09) Encouragement to new farm practices-Nearly 2.35 lakh demonstrations of improved varieties of rice and wheat , SRI of rice and hybrid rice Nearly 47.83 lakh quintals of high yielding variety/hybrid seed of rice, wheat , pulses distributed. Nearly 12.0 lakh hectares of area treated with soil ameliorants (gypsum/lime/micronutrients) to restore soil fertility Nearly 9.7 lakh ha of farm land treated under Integrated Pest Management Nearly 4.3 lakh farm implements distributed Capacity building of the farmers through nearly 14535 Farmers Field Schools arranged at farm level Nearly 55,000 farmers are benefited through resource conservation technologies June 2, 2014 Department of Agriculture & Cooperation Department of Agriculture & Cooperation 9

Significant outcomes Pulses 07-08: Significant role of NFSM in producing 14.76 million tonnes of pulses; nearly 0.6million tonnes more than 06-07 (14.2 million tonnes) pluses productivity increase over 2006-07 in NFSM districts: Gujarat 39%Bihar 13% ; A.P 9% 08-09: pluses productivity increase over 2007-08 in NFSM districts: TN 19.%; Rajasthan>100%; Punjab 18%; Haryana 66%; AP 20% pluses productivity increase over 2006-07 in NFSM districts: Rajasthan 65%; Punjab 3%; Haryana 0.25% ; AP 30% June 2, 2014 Department of Agriculture & Cooperation Department of Agriculture & Cooperation 13
Observation of field visits • More stress on quantity of demonstrations, FFS. • Delay and inadequate supply of inputs like gypsum and micro-nutrients and farm implements • Large amounts of unspent balances. • Need for village level awareness – • Proper Documentation of the demonstration/minikit performance • Regular Maintenance account documents at state/district village level • Engagement of PMT & Increased involvement of PRIs/ PMT • Selection of site and Operation of farmers field schools • Receipt for sale of various inputs to the farmers • Constitution of seed committees and district monitoring committees at district level
Crop Planning for Rabi • Kharif crop coverage and damage • Additional areas-boro/summer rice, wheat and coarse cereals • Possibility of increase in pulses area • Productivity increase in regular rabi areas- timely sowing & provision of timely inputs • NFSM components – For promoting water conservations technology (SRI, zero till seed drills, sprinklers) • Life saving irrigation facilities (Pump sets, sprinklers) • Local initiatives funds for taking up location specific activities, leading to increase in agriculture production/productivity. • Use the flexibility of 20% inter componental change • Unutilized funds for procuring additional inputs for rabi to cover rabi pulses, additional rice areas in NFSM districts • Additional funds, if required.
Other Suggestions • Planning for timely availability of inputs for rabi • Delegation of input procurement to district level, if required • Release of publicity funds to districts, distribution of literature, wall writings etc. • Interest accrued need to be intimated & utilised for NFSM after approval • Active participation of PMT needs to be ensured • Need to activate Monitoring committees at district level • Baseline survey/ concurrent evaluation reports • Use of NFSM website • MIS for monitoring
“Your” involvement / dedication is important for “our” Success.. Let us strive hard together for Future Food Security…..
