11.  Thrust was given to supply of high cost machinery such as Combine harvesters, Paddy transplanter, power weeders etc., to the Farmers groups/ RMGs and other improved farm implements to the individual farmers to overcome the present day farming threats i.e., labour scarcity and high labour cost.  The farm power utility has been increased from 2.00 Kw /ha in 2006 to 3.4 KW/ha in 2010  Yield increase up to 10-20%  Savings in inputs by 20% Combine harvester Paddy transplanter IMPACT OF RKVY 11

12. IMPACT OF ATMA As per the 3rd Party Monitoring and Evaluation reports (June – 2008)  Changes occurred in cropping patterns (Paddy- Paddy changed in to Paddy- maize in Chittoor district, Cotton- pulses in to Soybean- cotton- sunflower in Adilabad, Paddy- Jowar in to Paddy – Sun flower in Srikakulam etc. )  New crops were introduced through ATMA in districts (Soybean, Sweet corn and grapes in Adilabad, Sunflower in Krishna, Maize in Nizamabad and Chittoor)  After attending ATMA activities, 32 % of farmers are having high level of adoption to new technologies like zero tillage in Maize, SRI Cultivation, organic vegetable growing and 56% of farmers are having medium level of adoption where as before ATMA inception the level of adoption of new technologies is low in 86%of farmers.  Due to transfer of new technologies through ATMA, the beneficiaries got increase in yield from 10 to 30% in different crops, The yield increase 10 to 15% in Groundnut, 20to 30% in Maize, 15 to 25 % in Paddy, 12- 15 % in Vegetables and 20 to 25 % in Fodder. 12
