10. B- Strategy adopted by State :- (a)Rainfed situation Rice : (i) Thrust on line sowing with weedicide application instead of broadcasting. (ii) Promotion of early / mid duration rice varieties to ensure timely sowing and area expansion under rabi crops (b) Irrigated condition : (i)Emphasis on increase in area under transplantation / SRI (ii) Thrust on use of chemical fertilizer and micro nutrient based on soil analysis. (iii)Distribution of green manuring seed to farmers on subsidized rate. (iv) Area expansion under hybrid rice. 7

11. Strategies adopted Block Demonstration :  Time bound programme for selection of farmers and their training.  Ensured timely input supply.  Regular field visit of nominated scientists and field functionaries for technical support. Site specific intervention :  Only 30% of net sown area is irrigated through different sources.  Average annual rainfall of the state is fairly high (1334 mm).  Due to inadequate water harvesting structure major portion of rain water go waste.  For the purpose of conserving rain water and its utilization for irrigation checkdams / minor irrigation tanks are being constructed under site specific activities.  Suitable sites are selected with consultation of local farmers / Panchayati Raj Institutions.  Above structures are constructed on Government land.  Constructed structures are handed over to local Gram Panchayat for utilization and maintenance. 8

20. Issues for Consideration Construction of rain water harvesting structure (Checkdam, MIT) are important site specific activity of the State and it has significant impact on increasing productivity and cropping intensity. These Structures are constructed on Government land and handed over to Gram Panchayat for utilization & maintenance. Since 2010-11, 100% assistance was allowed for this activity but during 2013-14 GOI suggested only 50% assistance. Since these structure are being constructed on Government land and it is community assets hence 100% assistance may be allowed as earlier years and as per sanction of SLSC. 17
