Specific Issues of the State

Domination of small / marginal farmers (76 %) and fragmented land
holding.

Large extent of rainfed area (70 %).

57 % soils are light textured with low water holding capacity.
absence of winter rain.

Limited scope for area expansion under kharif Pulses / Oilseeds due to
bunded fields and heavy rainfall.

Only 30 % area under irrigation, mainly through canal which provides
protective irrigation.

Out of 27 districts 18 districts are Naxal affected (67 %)

Inadequate credit input supply system.

Low adoption of farm mechanization.
STRATEGIES
1.
Promotion of drought tolerant early maturing rice verities especially
under rainfed upland situation.
2.
Early and mid duration suitable HY / hybrid varieties instead of late
varieties to promote double cropping

Kharif Prospects 2013

Less scope for horizontal expansion hence thrust will be on crop
diversification & increasing productivity.

Target fixed for total Kharif cropped area 47.78 lakh ha which is slightly
higher over previous year.

Emphasis will be on increase in Area under Maize, Pulses &
Oilseeds.

Targetted area for Maize - 2 lakh ha. (4 % increase over last yr.)

Targetted area under pulses 3.75 lakh ha with 5 % increase over last
year.

Proposed area under Oilseeds 3.28 lakh ha 2 % higher over previous
year.

Issues for Consideration
 The cost of energisation of irrigation pumps in the remote tribal
areas is more than double as compared to normal areas.
Similarly during last three years around 350 Checkdams and
160 Anicuts have been constructed to conserve rain water
hence erection of electric line along such water body is
required to install irrigation pumps hence it is suggested that
this may be treated as an agriculture related infrastructure and
should be made eligible for funding under RKVY.
 It is a fact that different sates have different agro-ecological
situations and thus their constraints are also different. For the
reason
the
States
may
be
given
liberty
in
identifying
interventions (Components) and deciding scales of assistance
in RKVY sub-schemes.
