27. Reasons for slow progress
Onset of monsoon very late (i.e.. from 12th July)
Very long dry spell in August Month ( 25th July to 25th August)
Total rainfall is only 73 percent against normal rain.
About 45 % is under drill paddy in NFSM district.
Most of area of pulses district ( 8 district out of 11) is under tribal belt, due to poor monsoon it affects work.
The salary of PMT is very less, so employee leave job it affect mission work. The ten year experience consultant can not available for fix salary job, resulted most of the post vacant in NFSM.

Benefits
Cropped area has been increased as the innunded area become open due to drained out the excess rain water from the area hence it can be cultivated in Kharif season.
Supplementary irrigation facility has been created by harvested rain water in farm pond.
Crop production has been increased due to supplementary irrigation facility and checking of Kharif crop failure due to long dry spell in monsoon.
Cropping pattern has been changed as the farmers started taking cash and more remunerative crop like cumin, cotton and Amaranth.
Soil condition has been improved due to green manuring and irrigation facility.
Fertility and productivity of the agriculture land of the village has been improved.
Employment opportunity for rural labourers has been generated.
The agriculture became profitable hence the farmers diverted from other occupation to agriculture
Migration of people has been reduced.
