  8. Strategy for Rabi Crop Management, 2013-14

  9. Present Status vis a vis Goal SetforRabi, 2013-14 • To bring additional area of 1.40 lakh hectare under double / multiple cropping to increase cropping intensity to 155% – at present 14.06 lakh hectare (Cropping Intensity -150%). • Increase Summer Rice production to 15.85 lakh MT – at present 12.64 lakh MT. • Increase area under Summer Hybrid Rice cultivation to 2.06 lakh hectare – at present 0.85 lakh hectare. • Increase Rabi Pulse production to 1.35 lakh MT to contribute 49% of State’s requirement – at present 0.75 lakh MT contributing 27% to requirement. • Increase Rabi Oilseeds production to 3.17 lakh MT to contribute 86% of State’s requirement - at present 1.89 lakh MT contributing 51% to requirement. • Bringing additional area of 1.0 lakh hectare under assured irrigation – at present 7.50 lakh hectare (27% of Net cropped area). • Creation of additional farm power of 0.13 HP per hectare – at present 1.02 HP per ha.

  10. Crop Planning in targeted area during Rabi, 2013-14

  11. Increasing area under Double / Multiple cropping & Cropping Intensity Strategy : • Interventions under “Mission Double Cropping”. • Encourage homogeneous cultivation at cluster approach. • Increase farm power & assured irrigation facility. • Collaboration with Irrigation Department to harness irrigation water. • Full utilization of existing farm power & assured irrigation facilities. • Timely supply of quality seeds & other inputs.

  12. Increasing Production & Productivity of Summer / Boro Rice Strategy : • Interventions under “Mission Double Cropping”. • Increase area under Hybrid Rice. • Increase farm power & assured irrigation facility. • Full utilization of existing farm power & assured irrigation facilities. • Better productivity through technological intervention. • Timely supply of quality seeds & other inputs. HYV seed (0.92 lakh quintal) & Hybrid Seed (0.25 lakh quintal) to be provided from Govt. source.

  13. Increasing Production & Productivity of Rabi Pulses Strategy : • Interventions under “Mission Double Cropping”. • Field based planning for increasing production & productivity. • Enhancing productivity through technological intervention. • Timely supply of quality seeds & other inputs. Quality seeds (0.29 lakh quintal) to be provided to Small & Marginal farm families.

  14. Increasing Production & Productivity of Rabi Oilseeds Strategy : • Interventions under “Mission Double Cropping”. • Field based planning for increasing production & productivity. • Enhancing productivity through technological intervention. • Timely supply of quality seeds & other inputs. Quality seeds (0.12 lakh quintal) to be provided to Small & Marginal farm families.

  15. Bringing additional area under Assured Irrigation through Shallow Tube Wells & Low Lift Pump sets Strategy for Rabi, 2013-14 : • Full utilization of provisions under various schemes / projects. • Involving Gaon Panchayats in selection of beneficiaries. • Involving Pathar Parichala Samities (PPSs) for efficient implementation. More than 24,000 PPSs have been formed so far.

  16. Enhancing Farm Power Strategy : • Full utilization of provisions under various schemes / projects. • Popularizing machineries like Paddy Transplanter, Reaper, Paddy Thresher, Conoweeder, Knap Sack Sprayer etc. • Involving Gaon Panchayats & Pathar Parichala Samities (PPSs)in selection of beneficiaries & for efficient implementation • Timelines set from receipt of application to delivery of machineries. • Door step servicing and repairing of machineries. • Facilitates poor farmers to procure / hire Agril. Machineries. • Providing bank loans to poor farmers forpurchase of agricultural machineries.MOU signed with Assam Gramin Vikash Bank.

  17. Enhancing Agriculture Credit through KCC Initiatives taken : • Simplification of procedure for KCCs. • Hand holding of the farmers till KCC is disbursed. • Stamp duty on Agricultural Loans up to Rs. 50,000.00 have been waived. • KCC loan made interest free. (GOI – 3% & State Govt. – 4%) • Regular monitoring at State & District level.
