  1. Chhattisgarh–An Overview Agro Climatic Zones • 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 %) • 57 % soil is medium to light. • Average rainfall : 1327 mm. • Net Irrigated Area : 14.15 lakh ha (30%) • Farm families : 37.46 lakh • 76% small & marginal Farmers • 33% ST, 12 % SC • Cropping intensity : 137 % Northern Hills Zone Chhattisgarh Plains Zone Bastar Plateau Zone

  2. Source wise Irrigated Area (Area in Lakh ha.) Agro Climatic Zones Northern Hills Zone Chhattisgarh Plains Zone Bastar Plateau Zone

  3. Rainfall Status • Rainfall in the state, on the whole, is almost normal. • Average rainfall of the state (upto 19th Sept.). 1118.5 mm 102 % of the normal rainfall of corresponding period. Month-wise Normal / Actual Rain Fall : (In mm)

  4. KHARIF ASSESMENT 2013 Estimated Crop Coverage Unit- 000 Ha. Production Estimate Unit- 000 MT

  5. Kharif - Crop-wise Coverage  Sowing of Horse Gram and Niger is normally done upto September end. Estimated area mentioned for these crops includes area to be sown.

  6. KHARIF 2013 - ACHIEVEMENTS

  7. RABI PROSPECTS – 2013-14 • Area coverage under Rabi crops mainly depends on Sept.-Oct. rains as around 80 % Rabi crops are grown under rainfed condition. • Targeted area for Rabi crops 18.77 lakh ha. which is 8 % higher over last year. Unit : Lakh ha.

  8. Proposed crop coverage Rabi- 2013-14

  9. Availability of Quality Seed of Improved varieties • Strategies : • Preparation of five years Seed Rolling Plan. • Ensure adequate and timely availability of breeder / foundation seed as per plan. • Training of seed grower farmers. • Incentives to seed growers to encourage quality seed production. • Adequate arrangement for seed procurement. • Time bound programme for seed processing, testing and tagging. • Construction of new processing centers, seed godowns.

  16. Issues for Consideration • The cost of energisation of irrigation pumps in the remote tribal areas is more than double as compared to normal areas. Similarly during last three years around 350 Checkdams and 160 Anicuts have been constructed to conserve rain water hence erection of electric line along such water body is required to install irrigation pumps hence it is suggested that this may be treated as an agriculture related infrastructure and should be made eligible for funding under RKVY. • Under BGREI for conducting demonstration of Rice input-wise/itemwise assistance to farmers has been fixed by GOI . It is requested that state may be given liberty to identify input and scale of assistance as per local need within the maximum financial limit fixed by GOI. • As per BGREI guideline this scheme will be implemented only in Non NFSM district. where as component like assets building and state specific activities are not covered under NFSM hence this restriction should be relaxed.
