11. Impact of Contingency Plans 2014
Farmers were advised to grow paddy through SRI method.
Soybean replaced with maize and urd.
Early maturing varieties were promoted.
Arhar on field bunds and intercropping in Arhar were popularized which result increased area under Arhar.
Paddy area increased specially Basmati rice.
Traditionally maize cultivar was replaced with Hybrids resulted increased production.
Sweet corn and Baby corn were also promoted.
Line sowing of urd, soybean, maize etc by raised bed/ ridge furrow method resulted increase in production.
20.45 Lakh MT Production increased over kharif 2013.

30. Points for consideration from GOI
Under unavailability of varieties under 10 years there should be relaxation in distribution subsidy of more than 10 years varieties.
Under the GoI mission schemes in contingent situation there should be provision that in approved AAP state govt. may increase components target i.e., seed, drip, sprinklar, farm pond
Under GoI mission 50% amount of annual allocation should be release earliest.

31. Thank You
