Rainfed rice production is low and unstable mainly due to abiotic stresses
Strategy
• Promote stress tolerant varieties
– Submergence tolerant
• Swarna-Sub1 : Assam, UP, Bihar, WB, Orissa
• Samba Mahsuri-Sub1 : UP,
• IR 64-Sub1 : UP, Orissa, WB
– Drought tolerant
• Sahbhagi dhan : UP, Bihar, Orissa, Jharkhand and Chhatishgarh
– Salinity tolerant
• CSR-36 : UP & Bihar
• Promote recommended package of practices suitable for
different rice ecologies

Farm pond program
• Financial norms of NHM
• Farm pond size as per technical estimates and the subsidy amount
to be utilized
• Plastic lining at 50 % of the cost subject to ceiling of 20,000 rupees
• 30 % of the total number of constructions to be completed by June
2011
• Cluster approach suggested
– For ease of mobilization machinery
– For creating visible impact
• Procedure illustrated in model guidelines as experienced in
Maharashtra
• Plastic lining only as per the technical advice
• Payment of construction and laying of plastic lining to be made to
farmers directly
A3P units
• Seed minikits and other critical inputs to be supplied by
the States
• Static pest surveillance by the progressive farmers on 2
to 3 fields
• Training through NCIPM to the Master Trainers and in
turn to the assigned agriculture officers
• Honoraria to the progressive farmer and the
agriculture officer interacting weekly with the
progressive farmer
• Mobility charges to be paid only after getting data
sheets and the digital images of the crop health

Farmer producer organizations
• MD, SFAC to present
To conclude
• Programs are focused on achieving exact
physical deliverables
• Involvement of KVKs, ICAR Scientists, CRRI and
SAU scientists ensured for better monitoring
• Need to designate senior officer in the State
Directorates for exclusive attention
• Key messages: Plan well, Forge Partnerships,
Assign Responsibility, Monitor closely, Leave
rest to the Nature
