Improving the Resilience of Poor Farmers by Reclaiming Cultivable Wastelands @ Nawada
The undulated lands are located in the fringe areas of forests in Nawada and not cultivated despite being fertile. These were completely unprotected from grazing animals and rainwater harvesting and storage structures (ahars) could not convey water due to their higher elevation. The cultivable fallow was brought back into crop production by motivating the community to participate in reclaiming the lands by bunding and leveling. About 25 ha was planted with pigeon pea during kharif leading to a harvest of 30,000 kg of pigeon pea worth Rs. 8,50,000/-. The farmers of these villages could realize such a harvest and this helped them to appreciate the worth of their land.

De-silting of irrigation channels for coping with water scarcity
Old pynes Renovated pynes The time required for irrigating one ha was brought down to 4.5 hr from 8 hr. This resulted in bringing 27 ha additionally under paddy. This generated an additional 2700 man days of work. It also saved enough water to provide one supplementary irrigation of 5 cm over 27 ha. The additional 27 ha brought under paddy could yield about 80 t worth Rs lakh. Water security by renovation of abandoned open wells More than 120 wells have been renovated in Bihar & Jharkhand during The villagers are very happy with this intervention, as it has ensured them drinking water availability even in the midst of summer. The drainage line has also been developed leading to safe disposal of water. This has improved hygiene around the wells. In all, the well renovation intervention has been very well accepted by the villagers.

Sand Bag Check Dam - a story of success against fitting climatic GUmla Results Low cost temporary structure was made on river of 50 meter length. Huge quantity of water reserve for supplemental and drinking (Animal) Recharging of well in near by of the village. Water table has risen by 44% followed by area expansion under off-season vegetable cultivation in 15.0 ha, summer paddy cultivation in 15.0 ha, wheat cultivation in 50.0 ha and safe harvesting of standing paddy from 30.0 ha during acute scarcity of rainwater. Monocropping has turned into double and in some cases multiple cropping in the village Before Intervention . After Intervention Bora Bandh on Murli Sankh river

Tank cum well system of irrigation…at Port Blair
Tanks are used for rain water harvesting and are constructed on the up land. Wells are used for harvesting seepage water and are constructed on the down slope of the pond. Tank Irrigation is allowed from the tank till March and then the well water is used for irrigation. 25 nos. of tank cum well system of irrigation have been developed brought around 25 ha under irrigation during last four years. Well Inputs like fish fingerlings (IMC, freshwater prawn & grass carp), brinjal seedlings, seeds (maize, black gram, pumpkin) were supplied to the farmers for utilization of the harvested water in cultivating crops. A gross return of Rs 1,40,000/ha was observed against gross cost of cultivation of Rs 59,500/ha with a net profit of Rs 80,500/- and B:C of 2.35.

Rain water harvesting structure - 5% model @ Palamu and East Singhbhum
5% model are created on medium upland rice field. In medium upland rice field the water retention capacity is low. Especially in late monsoon or insufficient rainfall transplanting of seedling are not done in time. By creating 5% model ditches in each plot to harvest and collect the rain water. Stored water increases the moisture level and helps in transplanting. Water stored in 5% model provides moisture during moisture stress later on. In this region mid land paddy suffer moisture stress at the time flowering and grain filling in case of early cessation of monsoon. Stored water in this structure provides moisture and life saving irrigation.

Community nursery One of the important interventions has been the promotion of community nursery for paddy as an approach to contingent availability of seedlings during drought or flood in the NICRA adopted village(s). Seedlings were raised by sowing of seeds at 15 days interval in three stages and farmers were allowed to take the seedlings as much as they could transplant depending upon rainfall conditions.

Recommendation by ZMC Action Taken Planting of perennial or semi-perennial crops on the raised bunds around the excavated ponds Most of the KVKs followed the recommendation through developing fruit orchards, fodder (berseem, lucern grass, oats, H.napier, MP Chari etc), vegetables (cucurbits, brinjal, tomato, chilli etc), tuber crops (ol, turmeric, ginger etc). Pisciculture (preferably composite culture) in the excavated/re-excavated ponds Composite fish (IMC) culture have been started in most of the renovated and re-excavated ponds in most of the KVKs. Organic agriculture to be practiced Crops like Ol, turmeric, onion, gram, tomato etc. have been produced organically in Palamu & Gumla KVKs Raised bed and furrow method of irrigation in vegetables is recommended to create additional water resources S 24 Pgs, Port Blair, Coochbehar KVKs are following the technology. Veg. like cucurbits, okra, chilli, tomato etc are cultivated. Polythene lining can be recommended in the farm ponds to reduce the seepage losses Polythene lining are used to check seepage losses particularly in Coochbehar & Malda KVKs To ensure water availability during critical crop growth period, SRI, Multi-tier cropping practice with horticulture crops SRI method is followed in all the KVKs. Around 400 ha area under SRI. Cucurbits are cultivated as multi-tier vegetables Other alternative farming practice like apiary, mushroom, ornamental fish production Apiary, ornamental fish are being practiced in S 24 Pgs. Oyster mushroom cultivation is now a popular practiced among women folk in all most all KVKs.
36
Recommendation by ZMC Action taken
Production of turmeric, elephant foot yam etc. may be initiated as high remunerative crops Turmeric, ginger and elephant foot yam are cultivated in large scale in NICRA villages. This year Palamu, Chatra & Gumla have taken initiative to cultivate the crops in forest areas. Pitcher irrigation may be followed for seasonal or perennial crops S 24 Pgs and Gumla KVKs have initiated this technology for chilli, tomato, brinjal, fruit crops like papaya, banana etc. Plantation of forest and fruits trees Forest trees like Palash, Mahua, Imli, Bamboo, Jamun, Ber, Lac, etc. in Chtra, Palamu & Gumla KVKs and fruit trees like papaya, banana, mango, guava in the bund of excavated/renovated ponds in most of the KVKs Contingency crop planning Area wise contingency crop planning made and accordingly followed. Direct sowing of early maturing vars -Turanta dhan (75d), Prabhat (90d), Jaldi dhan etc in Bihar and Naveen, Sahbhagi in Jharkhand; Short duration varieties of tomato, cauliflower, raddish, brinjal, arhar, maize, niger, horsegram taken as contingency crops It is advisable for VCRMC to form cooperatives and fetch higher return for the farmers themselves by avoiding middleman. The SHGs may also be useful for this purpose KVKs are in the process in formation of cooperatives among the villagers/VCRMC members. Gumla, Nawada and S 24 Pags have already formed SHGs for this purpose. Seed bank of cultivable cereals in each location may be explored KVKs- Buxar, Gumla, S 24 Pgs, Coochbehar, Nawada have established seed bank of wheat, maize, rice, fodder, pulse other crops There should be more women participation in VCRMC (at least 20%) in each NICRA village All the KVKs have increased the number of women participation in VCRMC. Now 5-6 are women members out of 20 members VCRMC in each case

Way Forward….. There is a need for the horizontal expansion of these technologies in the next three years so as to reach as many households as possible with an objective to reach every household of the NICRA village so as to make these villages climate resilient. More emphasis on Integrated farming system Demonstration on Integrated Nutrient Management for multiple cropping/higher yield Solar energy harvesting for irrigation and other agricultural operations Secondary agriculture and value addition
