1 ‘Bringing Green Revolution to Eastern India’
Salient Features

2 The productivity levels of rice and rice-based cropping systems are about the lowest in the region when compared with that in other states

3 Coverage under irrigation (%)
Area, production, productivity and coverage under irrigation in major food-grain producing states S. No. States Area (million ha) Production (million tonnes) Productivity (tonnes /ha) Coverage under irrigation (%) 1 Punjab, Haryana, UP 43.3 (35)* 95.5 (44)* 2.3 70 (49)** 2 AP, Gujarat, TN, Karnataka, MP, Maharashtra, Uttrakhand 48.7 (39)* 68.7 (32)* 1.6 40 (10)** 3 Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Orissa, West Bengal 28.3 (23)* 47 (22)* 30 (3)** * % to all India ** % coverage under ground water irrigation

5 Rice Area affected by different stresses in eastern India (lakh ha)
  States   Flash Flood prone   Drought Prone Salinity/Sodicity Coastal Inland Assam 8.0 2 Nil Bihar 11.0 10 1.5 Jharkhand 8.2 Chhattisgrah 27.3 Orissa 11.6 12.6 U.P 9.3 13.1 6 West Bengal 10.3 14.6 4.4 Total Region 50.2 87.8 5.9 7.5 Total Rice 74 138.2 9.6 20.4 2/3rd 1/3rd Rainfed rice production is low and unstable mainly due to abiotic stresses

6 Strategies Middle Gangetic Plains Region (Eastern U.P. and Bihar)
Lower Gangetic Plains Region (WB other than Purulia and hill districts) Middle Gangetic Plains Region (Eastern U.P. and Bihar) Flood/ water logging, poor drainage, Salinity/alkalinity, Arsenic contamination Basically a rice mono cropped area, however crops like jute, mustard, Sesamum, potato, etc. are also grown. Mustard and potato have emerged as high value crops of the zone. Increasing the cropping intensity by utilizing kharif rice fallows for cultivation of rabi pulses and oilseeds Diversification of upland rice areas which are less productive to suitable crops like pulses, oilseeds and millets. Development of on-farm irrigation resources through exploitation of ground water potential which is abundant. Rice, wheat, sugarcane are the major crops. However, productivity is low. Increasing the fertilizer use. Taking care of widespread deficiency of zinc and boron. Promotion of short to medium duration high yielding varieties and hybrids of rice and maize Promotion of maize cultivation especially in Rabi as it has high potential Promotion of early maturing varieties of sugarcane Development of on-farm irrigation resources thorough exploitation of ground water potential Strategies

7 Moisture stress, drought and Soil acidity, Iron toxicity
Eastern Plateau & Hills Region (Parts of Orissa, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh) East Coast Plains & Hills (Part of Orissa) Moisture stress, drought and Soil acidity, Iron toxicity Salinity, Water management, Poor nutritional status of soil, saline lands Management of rainwater harvesting and storage for increasing crop productivity Promotion of High yielding varieties/hybrids especially that of rice Expansion of area under High value cash crops and vegetables Improvement in seed supply so as to increase the SRR Improvement in productivity of crops in acidic soils through soil treatment with liming materials available in the region. Rice is the lead crop in this zone. However, the productivity is low. High yielding varieties for water logged areas and upland areas needs to be propagated Discouraging the cultivation of rice in marginal lands and diversifying in favour of oilseeds and pulses Utilization of rice fallows for increasing the cropping intensity. Rice-fish culture Improving soil drainage Strategies

8 Action Plan (Short/Medium-term)
A. Rainfed upland Rice Rice-based intercropping (Rice + Pigeon pea, 4:1) - S Field bunding / graded bunding / contour bunding - S HYV of days duration - S Aerobic rice (40-50 % water saving) – S Percolation tanks/check dams/diversion weir – M B. Rainfed lowland rice Suitable dyke height of the field - S Comprehensive drainage system - M HYV of days/ days duration - S Rice-fish farming system – S INM and IPM - S

9 Action Plan (Short/Medium term)
C. Deep Water Rice Improved waterlogging tolerant varieties - S Pond-based farming - M Intercropping with aquatic crops - S D. Irrigated rice SRI, AWD (Water saving : 20-25%) – S Renovation of field channels - S Renovation of drainage system - M Exploitation of ground water (dug-wells, shallow tube-wells) - M RRR of water bodies – M Covering more area under Boro Rice - S

10 Key Interventions Developing additional water sources through tube wells, dug wells and farm ponds Promotion of Hybrid Rice Promotion of Flood, Drought, and Salinity tolerant rice varieties Use of Drum seeders for timely planting of direct seeded rice Promotion of farm implements and their easy availability for timely operation Liming treatment in acidic soils Bringing additional area under Summer/Boro Rice Pulses and oilseeds crops through relay cropping in rice fallows intercrops

11 Approach Campaign mode of implementation creating clusters of successfully adopted villages Periphery to core Convergence of schemes Mechanism for synchronized actions Maximizing benefits of different schemes of various departments and ministries Private Sector participation for management of irrigation assets supply chain for different crops Use of ICT to deliver crop advisories through Kiosks, Telephones and SMS Result orientation Objective and constant monitoring Rewards scheme

12 Program Technology promotion in compact blocks of 1000 hectares
Rice ecology specific technologies Emphasis on line sowing/transplantation, land preparation Hybrid rice promotion Promotion of resource conservation technologies for wheat crop Involvement of Progressive farmers Asset building Water source development Shallow tube wells Borewells and dugwells Water pump sets Zero till seed drills Site specific local needs Priority to Non NFSM Districts
