Monitoring of BGREI Programme
Central Rice Research Institute , Cuttack
Monitoring
• A three tier monitoring structure involving central
steering committee (CSC) under the chairmanship of
Secretary (A&C)
• State level monitoring team (SLMT) for each state under
the Chairmanship of an Additional Secretary/Joint
Secretary of the Department of Agriculture
• District level monitoring teams (DLMT) headed by
District Agriculture Officer to ensure delivery of
intended technologies to the farmers.
• CRRI is the nodal agency for monitoring the programme.
Activities of the Central Monitoring Unit at CRRI
• Director, CRRI as Member of the Central Steering Committee
participated in meetings held under the Chairmanship of
Secretary, DAC at Lucknow, Patna, Ranchi, and Bhubaneswar.
His representatives took part in such meetings at Kolkata,
Gauhati and Raipur
• CRRI Scientists involved in BGREI Programme as state incharge and as scientist in-charge of the districts of Odisha are
regularly visiting their assigned states and districts for
monitoring and the effective implementation of the programme.
General suggestions to improve implementation of BGREI
• Strengthen coordination among CSC, SLMT and DLMT.
• In all SLMT meeting, scientist-in-charge of respective state from
CRRI should be involved.
• The SAU scientists identified for monitoring at the district level
have to play a more pro-active role; the state departments should
extend support. Reporting has to improve very significantly.
• Beneficiary list in prescribed Proforma should be provided to the
CRRI and other stakeholders.
• Ensure timely availability of inputs.
• Capacity building of Block level Agril. Officers, other field
functionaries and farmers needs to be organized.
• Soil testing, need based IPM and related farm mechanization should
be strengthened.

Critical inputs contributing to increase in
production
1. Good quality seeds – whether it is open
pollinated variety or hybrid
2. Application of basal dose of fertilizers
3. Availability of irrigation water through STW,
LLP etc.
4. Line transplanting
5. Plant protection of measures
Suggestions for proper monitoring/implementation
of the programme
1.
Component for management of weeds should be included especially for boro
rice.
2. Emphasis need to be given for line transplanting especially for sali/kharif rice.
3. Availability of the sources/outlets for the purchase of hybrid seeds by the
farmers themselves needs to be arranged.
4. One-day training to the farmers before the onset of the cropping period will
help refreshing the farmers with technical know-how for scientific cultivation.
5. Timely supply of the inputs has to be ensured.
6. Seed quality has to be ensured.
7. Providing facility for irrigation through STW, LLP etc., wherever possible.
8. Wherever shallow tube well facility is installed, measures should be taken to
ensure irrigation during the dry spell.
9. Water harvesting tanks will prove worthwhile where STWs don’t work.
10. Erecting embankments and sluice gates, wherever feasible, in the nullahs,
streams connected with perennial water bodies especially for boro rice will
help overcoming water stress in drier months in many areas.
Observations on implementation of the programme
1.
The farmers are reluctant to practice line transplanting of rice. As per
farmers’ perception higher number of labourers are needed to carry
out the practice.
i.
Line transplanting was practiced more in boro rice. In general, extent of line
transplanting varied from 10% to 80 %.
ii. Kamrup district had 5,200 ha under summer rice demonstrations during 201213. Line transplanting varied from 60% to 100%. Boko sub-divisionof Kamrup
district had almost 100% line transplanting in summer rice demonstrations.
iii. In Barpeta district, it varied from 40% to 80% in boro season.
iv. In Udalguri district, it varied from 20 to 30% in boro season.
2.
Most of the farmers were aware of importance of plant protection
measures but rarely practiced seed treatment.
i. Farmers in the Barpeta district practiced seed treatment with carbendazim.
ii. In Dhubri district, farmers took both prophylactic and curative sprays of
insecticides in the nurseries.
iii. Taking plant protection measures in the standing crop was a common practice.
Observations on implementation of the programme
3. Farmers inclination towards hybrid rice is increasing.
4. Farmers applied 2 to 3 top dressings of urea @ 5 kg
per bigha and one top dressing of MOP @ 3 to 5 kg
per bigha on their own.
5. Farmers preferred cultivars for summer rice were,
viz., Chinese boro, Irri (No. 8, No.9, No. 28, No. 29),
Biplab, Tepi boro, Khoiya boro, Balam, Bashphul, Sali
barua.
6. Farmers preference was for bold-grained hybrids.
Creating irrigation facility for boro rice is must

Performance / Implementation status
 Bihar has implemented demonstration program of SRI (system of rice intensification)
in 77,254 ha of System of Rice Intensification in irrigated/medium land situations and
improved upland rice production demonstrations in 10,000 ha, shallow low land rice
in 15,000 ha BGREI programme has been taken up 22Non NFSM districts of Bihar in
the year 2013 - 14
 State has provided demonstration kit of costing 3000/- per acre that includes seed,
fertilizer, Vermi Compost, Watering pot and micro-nutrient (Zinc Sulphate) etc. All
Demo Kits were distributed to beneficiaries in Krishi Utsav Mela in each block of all
Non-NFSM districts between 3rd week of may to 2nd week of June
 In SRI demonstration, mainly two components of SRI i.e. young seedlings with wide
spacing and line transplanting has been demonstrated; Inputs have been provided to
the farmers well in time.
 The Farmers express their great satisfaction over the SRI technology and showed
interest for carrying out the same in future. They also appreciated the effort made by
the department people for field demonstrations.
 The state will distribute the shallow tube wells and pump sets in the dry season for
this financial year 2013 - 14
Implementation/monitoring issues
 Inputs are distributed to the beneficiary farmers well in time before
sowing but many demonstrations are not conducted on field due to deficit
/excess moisture stress in field. Site selection for SRI demonstration is not
proper.
 The beneficiary list has not been provided by the state to the CRRI as well
as Scientist in charges of the districts for which proper procedure could not
be followed for monitoring of the activities
 The Information card prescribed for Block demonstrations has not been
maintained and Krushi Salahkar / progressive farmers are unable to
provide the beneficiary list and their information card under BGREI activity.
 The nominated SAU Scientists/ district in charges for BGREI districts in
Bihar neither visiting nor submitting report to the CRRI.
 District level monitoring team has not been constituted and no verification
is done at field level by the DAOs. District level monitoring team should be
constituted immediately and regular visits may be made to ascertain the
demonstrations and its proper implementations by state department
Suggestions for Improvement
 Besides SRI, location specific rice production technologies may be included in the
programme like Flood prone area management. SRI should be restricted to irrigated
medium land situations only.
 Farm mechanization i.e. mechanical transplanting & cultivation of hybrids may be
given priority. Under site specific activity field channels should be constructed in
irrigated conditions
 Frequent field visits of non beneficiary farmers to the BGREI sites may be included as
a component for awareness among the farmer
 Beneficiary list may be provided to CRRI as well as scientists in charge of the districts
for proper monitoring and technological back stopping
 District In charge scientists should visit frequently to the their respected districts and
report to the CRRI
 Information card prescribed for Block demonstrations should be maintained well to
replicate the success story
 Crop cutting in presence of Dept. staff, scientists from university, Funding Agencies
and non beneficiary farmers from the same locality
 Crop cutting & reporting format / pattern should be uniform and yield should be
reported on dry weight basis

Salient findings of kharif 2012
•
Overall increase in grain yield was to the extent of 26.66% (on the basis of 9
districts crop cutting data).
•
Chhattisgarh had produced more than 100 lakh tonnes of paddy equivalent
to 66.0 lakh tonnes of rice during kharif season 2012 where as total rice
paddy production in the state in kharif 2010 was 61.0 lakh tonnes
•
Seed replacement rate was found to be 36% in Kharif 2012, which is 7%
more than kharif 2010.
•
Adoption of Line sowing with tractor drawn seed drill increased in Balod,
Mahasamund, Durg, Mungeli and Bemetra Districts and farmers are happy
with tractor drawn seed drill.
•
Cropping intensity was increased more near check dams as farmers are
taking two crops in a year due to availability of water
•
Cultivation cost reduced through seed drill, self rice propelled transplanter
and markers in SRI
Issues
•
The hybrid KRH-2 did not show much yield advantage in several places. This
year performance of KRH-2 is very poor in Mahasamund and Kanker
districts
•
No report was available for Soil testing
•
Shortage of labours during transplanting, Biasi and Chalai was reported by
farmers. This is alarming and suggestions were made for more
mechanization especially for the situation where rice crop is grown by
transplanting.
•
The choking of seed drill during sowing was observed at many places
particularly in heavy soils due to moisture (Recommended seed drill for dry
soil and well field preparation )
•
Some farmers reported mixing of seeds, non availability of inputs like
weedicide and pesticide in time
•
Farmers are spending more money for control of insect pest and excess use
of chemicals
•
Deep ploughing by tractor drawn MB plough lacking

Reduction in area, shifted crop calendar and sowing windows, land
preparation and transplanting, low fertilizer consumption, poor yields
and migration
Crop cutting data from Jharkhand re-establish the need to make
available shorter duration rice varieties/hybrids to avoid problems
arising from late onset and early withdrawal of monsoons.
Reduction in area in drought years is approx. 6 lakh ha, especially the
upper fields (shallow drought prone lowlands) where transplanting
was delayed or could not be taken up. Direct seeding technology need
to be promoted in this toposequence.

Farmers’ perception on BGREI Programme
• Planting rice in lines at 8-10 inches (20-25 cm) interval
was yield advantageous (30-40%). In addition, this
practice incurred 15-20% less labor and 20-25% less
seedling requirement, as perceived by the farmers.
• Popularization of hybrid rice cultivation growing
especially variety Ajay and Rajalaxmi that ensured
around more than 50% yield advantage compared with
conventionally grown HYV (OPV).
•
In contrast, farmers did not like weedicide application,
especially in irrigated and favourable rainfed lowlands;
they preferred mechanical weed management with
hand racker and ‘cono-weeder’, instead. However,
weedicide is advantageous while applied in upland
rice, they opined.
Issues
•
•
•
•
Beneficiary list in prescribed format,
Timely availability of inputs
Timeliness of crop, nutrient and pest management,
Quality seeds (in terms of germinability and
varietal admixture) Involvement of CRRI scientists
while finalizing the Technical Programme
• Submission of periodic reports to the nodal Centre,
CRRI, Cuttack
• Supply and use of farm implements
Uttar Pradesh
Eastern UP
2013-14
The ‘Bringing green revolution to eastern India’ (BGREI) programme is being
implemented in 12 districts of eastern U. P.
Rice demonstrations are being carried out in 92564 ha area, as against the target
of 95000 ha for 2013-14, which works out to be around 97% of the target fixed
• Rice demonstrations in total 95000 ha comprising 12000 ha each for upland,
shallow low land medium deep water ecologies in rainfed areas,26000 ha for
high yielding varieties (HYVs) and 33000 ha for hybrid rice in irrigated areas
have been planned.
• Under rainfed ecologies, demonstrations on 5482 ha of upland rice, 7550 ha
of shallow lowland rice and 9365 ha of semi-deep water rice have been
undertaken
• This works out to be about 46%, 63% and 78% of the targets proposed in the
work plan for the corresponding ecologies. In irrigated ecology,
demonstrations on 20082 ha of high-yielding rice varieties and 11637 ha of
hybrid rice have been taken up, which accounts for 77% and 35% of the
proposed targets, respectively
Problem
• In Varanasi and Pratapgarh districts, the crop in certain areas was
suffering from moisture stress because of scanty rainfall and lack
of irrigation facility
• Soil analysis had been completed in many areas and soil health
cards with recommendation of fertilizer dosages had been
issued. This work should be taken up in those areas that have
not yet been covered.
• Infestation of stem borer, gundhi bug and sheath blight was the
major problem in many places and concerned district agriculture
departments were helping the farmers by providing appropriate
pesticides. Plant protection officials were requested to inspect
the crop and take appropriate control measures.

and State Official at
Kaliaganj (Uttar Dinajpur
District, West Bengal)
Issues Related to Technical Intervention
• Varietal replacement in different rice ecology during wet season
• Partial mechanization through introduction of agricultural
implements
• Introduction of short duration (110-120 days) varieties for dry
season
• Popularizing hybrids by organizing minikits and identifying
suitable hybrids for different regions
• More emphasis on irrigation potentialities for efficient utilization
of surface water
• Introduction of direct-sown rice during dry season to overcome
labour shortage at planting and to avoid cold injury in seed bed
and water shortage at ripening phase
• Introduction of small intervention related to crop establishment,
nutrient, weed and need base plant protection
Overall Suggestions for Proper
Implementation/Monitoring the Program
• Involvement of CRRI representative in State Planning
Meeting
• Awareness meeting with District and Block Officer
before Cropping seasons
• Regular monitoring and Monthly progress meeting of
District level Monitoring Team
• Submission of Monthly progress report by SAUs/ KVK
Scientists to CRRI
• Awareness workshop for capacity building of Block
level Agril. Officers and other field functionaries for
effective implementation of the program
