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

Key feed backs
• Program prescription varied in some States;
• Bihar preferred SRI irrespective of rice ecologies & SWI for wheat
• Supply of inputs/incentive amount in cash to the beneficiaries
• Involvement of NGOs for implementation of BGREI - Odisha
• Increase in distribution of hybrid rice; Adoption of
sub-mergence tolerant varieties;
• Gaps in adoption of technologies of nutrient, weed
management, crop protection, seed treatment
• Timely supply of inputs
• Need based nutrient mgmt.
• Demand for farm machinery- self propelled
reaper/combine harvester etc.

Expectations from states
• Adherence to technical norms of agro ecological zone wise
demonstrations
• Approval of action plans by SLSC in time
• Organizing SLBC meeting before Kharif for crop loans to cluster
farmers
• Better coordination with CRRI for monitoring
• Timely supply of inputs like fertilizer, seeds and other critical inputs
• Community Nursery instead of individual Nursery
• Popularize Paddy Transplanter for transplanting of Rice
• Promotion of Drum Seeder for promotion/popularization of line sowing
Way forward
• Efforts to maintain uniformity of interventions across
States for logical comparison of innovative
technologies;
• Best practices of processes of deliverables and
procurement of produce at MSP need be shared
mutually by States
• Improvement in monitoring, documentation &
reporting
• Strengthening of Coordination between CSC,
SLMTs & DLMTs;
• Capacity building of Block level extension staff &
beneficiary farmers.
