STRATEGIES
Not much scope for horizontal expansion during kharif, hence thrust
will be on crop diversification & increasing productivity.
1.
Crop diversification – Replacement of uneconomical upland rice with
suitable pulses, oilseed and maize.
2.
Varietal change in rice –
(i)
Early and mid duration suitable HY / hybrid varieties instead of
late varieties to promote double cropping
3.
Promotion of line sowing/transplanting/SRI method.
4.
Thrust on production & use of quality seed to enhance SRR.
5.
Emphasis on maintaining soil health by adding organic manures/green
manuring, balanced use of fertilizers and bio-fertilizers.
6.
Constitution of survey team for monitoring pest and disease incidence.
7.
Promotion of use of soil ameliorants like lime and gypsum in problem
soils.
3. Initiatives for integrated delivery of inputs and services to farmers
1. Separate Agriculture Budget of Rs. 6244 crores for 2012-13 including agriculture and allied
departments/agencies.
Assistance to Cooperative Institutions :
(i)
Rs. 120 crores to Cooperative / Rural Banks for disbursing short term loan @ 1%
interest per annum to farmers.
(ii)
To ensure adequate and timely supply of fertilizers Rs. 300 crores interest free loan
given to Markfed for pre positioning of chemical fertilizers.
(iii)
Rs. 1452 crores to State Marketing Federation and State Civil Supply Corporation to
compensate loses on procurement of Paddy at Minimum Support Price.
(iv)
Rs. 52.5 crores with support from NABARD to construct 700 fertilizer godowns in
cooperative societies.
Energy Department :
(i)
Rs. 150 crores for energization of irrigation pumps.
(ii)
Assistance of Rs. 177 crores to State Power Distribution Co.Ltd. for providing
free/subsidized electricity to farmers having irrigation pumps upto 5HP.
State Seed Corporation :
(i)
Budget provision of Rs. 30 crores have been made to provide incentives to seed
growers and farmers on Production and Distribution of quality seed.
Contd. . . .
New Schemes :
(i) Provision of Rs. 10 crores for setting up 50 Agriculture Machinery Service Centers with
the subsidy of Rs. 7.5 lakh and 10 lakh to Agri-entrepreneurs/farmers.
(ii) Assistance to farmers upto 75% for installation of sprinkler and drip system
Budget Provision (Year 2012-13) - Rs. 25 crores
(iii) Seed and fertilizer for 1 acre area free of cost to forest dwellers
Budget Provision (Year 2012-13) - Rs. 12.4 crores.
(iv) Under NAIS premium subsidy (State Share) increased from 5 to 20%
(v)
Demonstration are being laid out for promoting use of green manuring
Budget Provision (Year 2012-13) - Rs. 4.25 crores.
(vi)
Demonstrations are being conducted for the utilization of rice fallow and to promote
SRI method of rice cultivation
Major Initiatives by State

Agriculture Budget for wholistic agricultural development.

Stamp duty exempted on exchange of land among farmers for
the purpose of consolidation.

Loan @ 1% per annum - crop loan as well as loan for dairy and
fisheries.

VAT exempted on Agriculture Implements.

Assistance upto Rs. 75,000 per connection for energization
of irrigation pumps.

Assistance upto Rs. 5,000 per well / tubewell for water
recharge.

Free electricity upto 7500 units per annum for 5 H.P. and 6000
Units for less than 5 H.P. Irrigation Pump.
4. Institutional Support for Marketing and Procurement
State Govt. has made arrangement to procure paddy from farmers at minimum
support price through 1585 centers across the state. Online monitoring system and same day
payment through cheque have been ensured.

5. Issues Constraining Agriculture Production
Constraints
Interventions
1. Area expansion under assured irrigation :
a) Drilling of tube wells/shallow tubewells
Low productivity of crop due
b) Digging of open wells
to erratic rainfall and lack of
2. Construction of Check dams / Minor irrigation tanks for
irrigation facilities
conservation of rain water
3. Evolving suitable early maturing drought tolerant variety.
i) Emphasis on balanced use of fertilizer
ii) Promotion of :
Adverse effect on soil health
due to imbalanced nutrient
use
a) Green Manuring
b) Bio-fertilizer
c) Organic Manure
iii) Distribution of Soil health cards

soils.
Low Seed Replacement Rate
(SRR)
Strengthening of seed production programme and seed
delivery mechanism for increasing production and usage of
quality seed.
Contd. . .
Constraints
Interventions
Major Rice area under broadcast biasi
system which results in low productivity
due to inadequate plant population &
excessive weeds in rice
Increase in area under :
i) Line sowing
ii) Transplantation with special emphasis on SRI
iii) Seed Treatment
Low level of Farm mechanization
Distribution of improved farm implements
Establishment of farm machinery service centre
Regular e-pest surveillance
Weeds and Pest incidence
Contemporary crop advisory.
Suitable bullock / manually operated implement
for interculture operation

NON BGREI DISTRICT
Suggestions for Amendment to BGREI guidelines
-
State may be given liberty to select component and rate of assistance within the financial
allocation.
-
Chemical fertilizers being the most critical input for enhancing productivity may be included
as
component for block demonstration of rice under BGREI.
-
The cost of energisation of irrigation pumps in the remote tribal areas is more than double as
compared to normal areas. It is suggested that this may be treated as an agriculture related
infrastructure and should be made eligible for funding under RKVY, particularly for the tribal
sub-plan areas.
-
Farm power availability in Chhattisgarh is much below than National average, Hence
financial assistance should be made available for distribution of tractors & other farm
implements under BGREI.
-
