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

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

Diggi 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 Additional assistance for new electric connection seekers up to 20 percent for MI sets. Diggi 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 : Provision for staff cost and contingency for the posts sanctioned under existing scheme should be kept For each scheme there should be provision of publicity both through electronic as well as print media Separate provision for administrative expenses, mobility and supervision should be included for effective implementation and monitoring

Continue----- Issue related to crop/weather insurance - A technical support unit may be established in MoA to design crop product for weather based crop insurance - A post of Acturial may be created in MoA 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
