Intervention Proposed to increase Oilseeds and Pulses Production 1. Rabi Abhiyan 2013 -14 (23 rd Sept. to 18 th Oct. 2013) ü 9175 camps will be organized at GP HQ level ü Expected farmers participation- Approx. 6. 00 lacs ü Availability of seeds through Beej Raths, fertilizer through cooperatives network ü Convergence of Agri. services (Agriculture/Horticulture/Animal Husbandry/ SAUs, Cooperatives) at the door step of farmers ü Applications of individual beneficiary schemes will be prepared ü Dissemination of appropriate technology & practices for Rabi crops ü Free distribution of booklets, pamphlets and minikits ü Collection of Soil Samples and supply of gypsum etc. ü Distribution of mineral mixer packets and de-worming medicines

Intervention Proposed to increase Oilseeds and Pulses Production 2. Technology Demonstration and Minikits of Oilseed and Pulses Oilseeds • Crop Demonstration – 2750 ha under ISOPOM • Minikits Distribution – 3, 32, 275 Nos. under ISOPOM Pulses Crop Demonstration – 25, 000 ha under NFSM and • 1, 11, 800 ha under A 3 P 20

Intervention Proposed to increase Oilseeds and Pulses Production 3. Seed Replacement with New Varieties • Out of 1. 65 lac qtls. Gram seed proposed to be distributed during Rabi 2013 -14, about 1. 00 lac qtl. seed of newer varieties will be made available to the farmers • The new varieties are GNG-1581, RSG-888, RSG-945, BGM-547, RSG-963, GNG-1488, RSG-895, RSG-896 and RSG-931 21

Intervention Proposed to increase Oilseeds and Pulses Production 5. Others • Optimum utilization of resources • Ensuring timely supply of quality inputs • Soil health Management & Integrated Nutrient Management • Carry out a campaign for seed treatment • Seed Replacement Rate • Promoting resistant varieties • Use of bio-fertilizers and micro nutrients in oilseed and pulses 23

Continue----- • Diversification from high water requiring wheat crop to less water requiring crops like pulses and oilseeds • Efficient water management • Integrated Pest – Disease management • Intensive Extension (Transfer of Technology) activities • Targeting resources towards SC/ST/Small/Marginal /Women and BPL farmers 24

Important Initiatives • Additional promotional assistance on drip up to 40 percent • Assistance on water storage Diggies in canal command area to promote pressurized irrigation. • Convergence of diggies programme with MNREGA • Diggi • Additional assistance for new electric connection seekers up to 20 percent for MI sets. Pressurized irrigation made mandatory for entire Narmada Command area. The same policy is also being g to extended in lift canal area of IGNP.

Important Initiatives • 3 Centre of Excellence sanctioned Centre of Excellence for Date palm at Jaisalmer Centre of Excellence Citrus at Kota Centre of Excellence Pomegranate at Jaipur

Important Initiatives • Automation and Fertigation project has been initiated in the state to get the synergetic benefit of drip irrigation system. • Promotion of green houses/ poly houses, shading nets and low tunnels where drip irrigation system is a mandatory.

Important Initiatives Solar Pump Sets • • During 2012 -13, highest No. of Solar pumps established in country which is registered in Limca Book of Records 5689 Solar pump sets established so far It is proposed to established 10000 solar pump sets during 2013 -14 Solar pump project compulsorily linked with drip irrigation technique

Important Initiatives Recognition of progressive farmers at Block, District & State levels with the awards of Rs. 10000, 25000 & 50000 respectively with citation Date palm in 560 ha. & pomegranate plantation programme in 551 ha.

Important Initiatives Pilot project on Olive Cultivation- Plantation in 182 ha. on 7 Government farms and 76 ha on farmers field. Flowering and fruiting occurred on 5 sites High tech Bassi farm – Protective cultivation of vegetables – capsicum, tomatoes, cucumbers, roses, gerbera, gladiolus and open cultivation of strawberry and fruit orchards (Guava, mango, jackfruit, pomegranate)

Issues • Positioning of urea for Rabi 2013 -14 as per month wise requirement. • Release of balance fund under RKVY and CSS schemes • Uniform subsidy on seed distribution for all crop varieties under NFSM in line of ISOPOM • While restructuring centrally sponsored scheme : v Provision for staff cost and contingency for the posts sanctioned under existing scheme should be kept v For each scheme there should be provision of publicity both through electronic as well as print media v Separate provision for administrative expenses, mobility and supervision should be included for effective implementation and monitoring 31

• Continue----Issue related to crop/weather insurance - A technical support unit may be established in Mo. A to design crop product for weather based crop insurance - A post of Acturial may be created in Mo. A to examine and determine the premium, claim and crop product offered by insurance company - All the automated weather station should be under national umbrella of IMD • Horticulture related issues: - Automation and fertigation should be the integral part of NMMI (subsidy on liquid fertilizers). - Ceiling of area (5 ha) may also be exempted under NMMI. - New crops like strawberry should be included for assistance under NHM 32
