3. Bihar Experience
Overall up-liftment of the socio-economic condition of the less developed area through Technology and Management inputs :
Improvement of agricultural productivity of cereals, pulses, oilseeds etc by following total approach system
Encourage farmers to grow fruits & vegetables
Multi trait training to unemployed youth
Crop diversification

4. Seed Cotton Productivity
India
share of world output is 12%
TARGET : 25%
Employment Generator
460 kg/acre
Causes for low productivity of Cotton
Lack of awareness & Training
Remedial measure
Opening of farmers field school
Arranging supply of genuine fertilizers and pesticides
Training of farmers at Research Station
Monitoring of Cotton crop by agricultural experts
Seed Cotton normal output
Remedial measure
960 kg/acre
India share of World output of cotton is 12%, we need to aim at 25% of high quality cotton.
This is one example, where technology and system oriented approach can help.
Similar approach can help for other seeds and commercial crops.
Seed Cotton Improved output
Reduced Average Expenditure
Return Increase Rs. 2400/acre to Rs /acre per year

5. Kali Bein operation
The road to prosperity is through cleanliness. Kali Bein river has already seen how.
Kali Bein rivulet, the place where Gurunanak Dev is said to have received enlightenment
Over the centuries it was turned literally into a sewage ridden, weed choked drain.
Today it is flowing clean and proud due mainly to the efforts of Baba Balbir Singh Seechewal in partnership with the Punjab State Government.

6. Power through Municipal Waste

1.10 Vision, Mission & Goals
We have so far considered the profile of knowledge society, multiple components and system integration. It emerged from the deliberations of the task force that the core strengths of the nation have to be coupled to the desired goals. The nation’s strengths predominantly reside in its natural and human resources. In natural resources, India is endowed with a vast coast-line with marine resources and also oil wealth. In minerals, apart from conventional material resources, it is well-known that India has the largest deposits of titanium, beryllium and tungsten. India ranks among the top few nations having a rich bio-diversity. Particularly, in the herbal area there are potential applications for developing multiple products for nutrition, prevention and cure of diseases. Of the global herbal product market of US$ 61 billion, China has a share of around US $ 3 billion, whereas India’s share is not even US $ 100 million. Hence, there is tremendous opportunity for growth in this area. India has similar potential for promoting floriculture and aquaculture in a big way. Knowledge-based value addition for these natural resources would mean exporting value-added products rather than merely the raw materials. Use of IT for commercialisation and marketing can increase our outreach and speed enormously. Ancient knowledge is a unique resource of India for it has the treasure of a minimum of 5000 years of civilisation. It is essential to leverage this wealth for national well being as well as to seek global presence for the nation.
Human resources, particularly with large young population, are unique core strength of the nation. This resource can be transformed through various educational and training programmes. Skilled, unskilled and creative manpower can be transformed into wealth generators particularly in the service sectors, agro industries etc. Knowledge-intensive industries can be generated out of our existing industries by injecting demand for high-level software/hardware, which would bring tremendous value addition. It is said, “the precious asset for a company or a country is the skill, ingenuity and imagination of its people. With globalisation, this will become more important because everybody will have access to world class technology and the key distinguishing feature will be the ability of people in different countries to use their imagination to make the best use of the technology”. Indeed development and innovative use of multiple technologies with transparent management structure and coupled with IT, will catapult India into a knowledge super power
