  2. ICAR District Contingency Plan Preparation PrpgrammeBackground Parliamentary committee on agriculture recommended preparation of district level Contingency plans for floods, droughts, heat wave, cold wave etc. Ministry of agriculture assigned the responsibility to ICAR Issue discussed in the Vice Chancellor’s Conference on 18.02.2010 Proforma/template prepared and finalized by ICAR in consultation with DOAC Secretary Agriculture has approved the proposal and released the grants to ICAR Instructed all the relief commissioners to cooperate with SAUs The work has to be completed in 2-3 months.

  3. Action Plan State Agricultural Universities in collaboration with Relief commissioners will prepare the district plans by involving relevant scientists from the ZARs Six regional workshops are to be conducted for orientation Cost of preparation of plans will be borne by ICAR In case of more than one SAU in a State, each SAU will prepare plans for the districts in their jurisdiction In case agriculture and veterinary universities are separate, information on livestock and fisheries in the proforma will be filled by the veterinary university and passed on to agricultural universities for completing the questionnaire All the filled up district proformae will be thoroughly scrutinized and vetted by the Nodal Officer at the SAU level The questionnaire will be vetted at the second level at one of the designated ICAR institutes for uniformity and revised if necessary.

  4. Expected Outcome Nearly six hundred booklets and CDs (one each for each district) Development of a decision support system at the State and Central level based on the outputs (under a separate project)

  5. Benefits of the exercise Helps the district administration to take specific and timely steps rather than allocating resources in adhoc manner Helps the relief teams from Centre to have a technical input Helps in formulating weather insurance policies Helps in planning for inputs and resource allocation for relief and strategic panning in vulnerable areas, both in terms of resource allocation and physical asset development Helps in identifying nodes of convergence in the ongoing development programmes to dovetail into the implementation of the contingency plans
