2. Chhattisgarh–An Overview • Sub-divided into three agro climatic zones. • Geog. area : 138 lakh ha. • Forest cover : 63.36 lakh ha. (46%) Net sown area : 47.75 lakh ha. (35 % of its geog. area) • 57 % soil is medium to light. • Average rainfall : 1373 mm. • Net Irrigated Area : 13.55 lakh ha (29%) • Farm families : 32.55 lakh • 76% small & marginal Farmers • 33% ST, 12 % SC • Cropping intensity : 135 % Agro Climatic Zones Northern Hills Zone Chhattisgarh Plains Zone Bastar Plateau Zone

3. MAJOR CONSTRAINTS • Almost 3/4th cropped area is rainfed vagaries of mansoon adversely affects production and productivity. • Mostly irrigation, through canals which provides protective irrigation. • Domination of small / marginal farmers (76 %) and fragmented land holding. • Low level of farm mechanization and fertilizer use. • Out of 27 districts 18 districts are Naxal affected (67 %). • Inadequate credit input supply system. • Inadequate infrastructure. • Area under irrigation, mainly through canal which provides protective irrigation. • Domination of Tribal (33 %) and Scheduled Caste (12 %) population with low literacy.

4. Scenario of Rice Cultivation in Chhattisgarh • Rice constitutes 75 % of total kharif cropped area. • Around 76 % rice is sown by broadcast biasi method. • 71 % area under rainfed condition. • Situation-wise Percent rainfed area : • Prominent rice varieties : • Early and mid - duration varieties cover 60% of total Paddy area. • Prominent Hybrid Varieties • Coverage of Hybrid Rice - 3% of total Rice area.

17. Proposed Modification As per BGREI guideline this scheme will be implemented in only Non NFSM district. where as component like assets building is not covered under NFSM hence this restriction should be relaxed. 2. Block demonstration of Rice. A. Cluster size may be reduced from 1000 ha. to 200 ha. B. The pattern of assistance should be revised as per proposed norms. C. Financial assistance for chemical fertilizer should be given particularly in tribal districts where as Fertilizer consumption is very low. 3. State may be permitted for inter-componental diversion of fund with in the limit of 20% of the total allocation.

18. Proposed Modification

19. (B) Asset Building - • Drilling of Bore well : - • Prevailing subsidy norms under state sector schemes for this purpose are as follows: Due to rise in drilling cost and price of casing pipe SLSC has accorded approval in the year 2011-12 to utilize this amount for topping up the subsidy given by state. Hence a top up subsidy of Rs. 7000/- for SC / ST and Rs. 15000/- for Gen. farmers was approved. Same pattern of assistance under this component should be approved for 2012-13
