  1. Zonal Conference on Agriculture Inputs – Rabi Campaign 2012-13New Delhi 14th Sept.2012 Mechanization in J&K State

  2. Characteristic features of J&K State

  3. Characteristic featuresLimitations/Drawbacks Fragile Soils in hilly areas susceptible to soil erosion; Arid areas of Ladakh and Drought prone areas in Jammu limit farm productivity; Single Cropping season of Kharif in temperate / high altitude areas; Inadequate and unorganized marketing & limits to transportation of products to distant markets; Limits to mechanized farming and irrigation potential of cultivated land;

  4. Thrust Areas in Farm Mechanization in J&K • Fabrication and provision of implements adapted to Hill Agriculture; • Popularization of improvised machines for plains; • Farmer friendly approach to facilitateselection /purchase of machinery; • Improving access to machines and implements through Agri - Business Centres; • Mechanization of Departmental Seed Multiplication Farms

  5. Fabrication and provision of implements adapted to Hill Agriculture • Two divisional levels Govt. Agriculture Workshop were established in 1964-65, one each in Kashmir and Jammu division; • Three district level workshops were established in the state in mid eighties; • In order to make available the technical knowhow as also sales after sale services more workshops were established of which three were in Kashmir Division and two in Jammu Division.

  6. Fabrication and provision of implements adapted to Hill Agriculture • Tractor Drawn Tillers, Levelers, bund makers; • Power Tiller Drawn – Tillers, MB Ploughs; • Bullock Drawn Ploughs • Hand Tools & Implements, • Power Operated Maize Sheller, Paddy Thresher; • Poly Green House Structures • Grain Storage Bins & Seed Containers; • Hand & Power Operated Winnowing fans; • Honey Extractors.

  7. Fabrication and provision of implements adapted to Hill Agriculture Locally Adapted Machines and Tools provided to Farmers

  8. Fabrication and provision of implements adapted to Hill Agriculture Agriculture Engineering Workshop

  9. Fabrication and provision of implements adapted to Hill Agriculture Agriculture Engineering Workshop

  10. Provision of other machines and implements adapted to Hill Agriculture • Power Tillers; • Reaper-cum-Binders; • Bullock Drawn Seed-cum fertilizer Drills; • Power operated Wheat and Paddy Threshers; • Power operated Winnowing Fans and Maize Sheller etc.; • Manual and Power operated P.P. Equipment; • Seed Treatment Drums; • Honey Extractors.

  11. Popularisation of improvised machines in Plains Areas • LazerLevellers; • Planters/Transplanters; • Offset Disc Harrows; • Rotavators; • Reapers-cum-binders; • Harvesters Combines; • Tractors

  12. Popularisation of improvised machines in Plains Areas Farm Machinery Demonstration

  13. Popularisation of improvised machines in Plains Areas Farm Machinery Distribution

  14. Popularisation of improvised machines in Plains Areas

  15. Farmer Friendly Approach to Facilitate Selection / purchase of Machinery • Rules /procedures revised to facilitate purchase of Machinery of his choice by the farmer; • Exemption of Toll/VAT on Agriculture Machinery; • Subsidy on Machinery purchased by Farmer from out-side the State; • Machinery Exhibitions –cum- Melas to provide easy access to latest machinery in far – flung areas of the State

  16. Popularisation of improvised machines in Plains Areas Machinery Melas

  17. Popularisation of improvised machines in Plains Areas Machinery Melas

  18. Improving access to machines and implements through Agri Business Centres • Provision of back ended subsidy kept under RKVY; • Assistance provided to Farmer groups /Farmer Entrepreneurs; • Access provided to rent out machinery to rural peasantry; • ABCs established: • Jammu district 5 nos • Kathua district 2 nos • Samba district 1 nos

  19. Agri-Business Centre, Sohanjana, Jammu.

  26. Promoting Farm Mechanization throughMacro Management 2012-13

  27. Promoting Farm Mechanization throughMacro Management 2012-13 (….contd.)

  28. Promoting Farm Mechanization throughMacro Management 2012-13 (….contd.)

  29. Promoting Farm Mechanization throughTraining, Testing & Demonstrations 2012-13 • Approved outlay: Rs.566.75 lakhs • Purchase of Machinery: Rs.420.75 lakhs • Demonstrations: Rs.146.00 lakhs

  30. Promoting Farm Mechanization throughTraining, Testing & Demonstrations 2012-13

  31. Promoting Farm Mechanization throughNFSM Rice 2012-13

  32. Promoting Farm Mechanization throughOther Schemes 2012-13

  33. Promoting Farm Mechanization through Convergence of Schemes for Distribution of Machinery (2011-12)

  34. Problem Areas • The present farm power availability can be improved by strengthening farm mechanization programme in the state and bring it to optimal level. • intensive field demonstration and financial assistance at a higher rate is needed to the farmers of the state • Different incentives for same machinery under different schemes in some cases. (Sprinkler Sets -Rs. 7500/Ha under NFSM - 50% of Indicative Cost under NMMI; Tractors -25% subsidy to max of Rs.45,000 under MMA up to 40 HP but -Rs.1.50 lakh for Power machines with of more than 20 HP under HMNEH)
