Benefits and Outcome
• In all 5,60,130 farmers will be benefited by the project.
• Enhancement of productivity of Rice, Wheat, Rabi Maize by 2 Q
/ ha and Sugarcane by 10 Q/ ha.
• Soil health (Soil fertility and soil productivity) will be maintained
for posterity .
• Water use efficiency will increase by use of sprinkler.
• The time for various agricultural operation will be tangibly
reduced through mechanization.
• Reclamation of isolated patches of sodic lands by use of Gypsum
in these areas will have additional food production at least 5 Q /
ha.
• The following outcome is expected
• Additional production and productivity will improve the economy
of farmers which will in turn ensure the better livelihood and
consequently elevating them to higher notches of Human
Development index (HDI).

• Allocation of Eastern • DPR already submitted
UP is 57.27crore
against this amount.
• Proportionate
• Already done
allocation to Rice,
Wheat, Rabi Maize
and Sugarcane after
analyzing
the
problems of different
crops
38
Action Taken Report (ATR) on decisions of
Experts group meeting (13-14 May 2010) (Contd..)
Decisions
ATR
• Stare should focus on
promotion of Hybrid
Rice,
Promotion
of
submergence
tolerant
Rice varieties, treatment
of problematic areas,
mechanization,
green
manuring (GM), summer
moong between Rice
and Wheat Crops etc.
Promotion of Hybrid Rice, Submergence
Tolerant
Rice
varieties
and
mechanization is is proposed under the
project besides same component under
NFSM- Rice. Summer Moong will be
covered
under
NFSM
–
pulse
components. GM is a part of cropping
system which is taken as an interlude
between wheat & Rice. The project
envisages promotion of hybrid Rice.
Special efforts will be made to popularize
summer paddy in traditional water logged
areas. where kharif paddy is not
possible. Improved cultivar of Kala
Namak Rice will also be promoted
39
