STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLANS
WEST BENGAL
WEST BENGAL- LEADERSHIP POSITION
•1st position in - Rice, Jute, Brinjal, Cauliflower, Cabbage &
Pineapple
•2nd position in - Potato & Litchi
•7th position in - Fruits
STRENGTHS
•Comprehensive land reforms.
• Vibrant 3-tier Panchayati Raj System.
• High acreage (more than 93% of available land is under cultivation).
• 4 cropping seasons for growing wide varieties of crop round the year:
 Pre-Kharif
 Kharif
 Rabi
 Rabi-Summer-Boro
• Balance use of NPK : 2.3:1.3:1 (Best in the Country).
• Well knit input distribution net work  38000 retail outlets in 41000 villages.
CONSTRAINTS
•Cloudy sky and few sunshine hours during Kharif season.
•Short and relatively non-persistent Winter spell.
•Vast areas of North Bengal (approx. 27% ) under severe micronutrient stress.
•Natural calamites (Flood, Drought & Cyclone) are regular
phenomenon.
•Several districts are drought prone – Bankura, Purulia, West
Medinipur & Part of Burdwan &Birbhum. (Erratic rain fall and
very low productivity).

N.B.:
•Area, Production and yield rate figures of different crops corresponding to base
year 2006-07 are actually the triennium average of three years, namely, 2004-05,
2005-06 and 2006-07.
•Area, production and yield rate figures for the years 2010-11 and 2011-12 are
year wise targets

AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT IN EASTERN
REGION - OVERALL STRATEGY
•Bringing 172 below average productivity blocks to state
average productivity level.
•Enhancing productivity @ 2.5% per annum of remaining
153 blocks.
COMPONENTS OF STRATEGY
• Enhancing Seed Replacement Rate (SRR)
• Enhancing irrigation potential
 Repair, renovation and restoration of existing derelict water bodies
 Extension, modernization, repair & renovation of minor-irrigation
sources
• Land & Water Management
Waste Land Management
Rain Water Harvesting
• Emphasis on farm mechanization in small and marginal holdings
• Soil management
 Integrated Nutrient Management
 Special emphasis on organic manure
 Addressing micro-nutrient deficiency
 Leguminous crops in cropping sequence
 Crop diversification
 Encouraging intercropping/mixed cropping
