MESSAGE
It is heartening to know that an Agricultural Action Plan 2015-16 is formulated for the
State of Telangana indicating details of the programmes meant for farmers welfare and increasing
his income which is the basic need of a farmer, who strives hard, not only for his own livelihood but
also for the rest of the community.

Government of Telangana realised the responsibility to know the root cause of the
problems faced by farmers and provide solutions to convert their constraints into opportunities.
The government would leave no stone unturned to improve the socio-economic condition of the
farmers.

The Honble Chief Minister in various review meetings, has already given top priority to
Agriculture Sector and designed strategies like supply of quality inputs, technology transfer,
infrastructural support, credit, etc which would go a long way to benefit farmers.

Telangana is the seed bowl of the country, it is therefore essential that quality seed with good
genetic potential appropriate to agro-climatic conditions are produced & supplied to farmers. I am
happy that the plan considered this aspect. The plan has also made adequate provision of Rs. 209.90
crores under Farm Mechanization which would increase the reach to SF&MF and to the areas where
availability of farm power is low.

The estimated cost of the plan for 2015-16 is Rs. 1035.55 crores which will surely help in
continuing our efforts and sustain the growth rate.

My appreciation to Director of Agriculture and her staff for formulating a dynamic Agriculture
Action Plan for 2015-16 to achieve the desired annual growth rate of 6% in Agriculture during XII
Plan period with the objectives of ensuring Food Security and wellbeing of the farming community.

MESSAGE
Agriculture plays a pivotal role in the economy of Telangana and the better performance of
this sector is vital for inclusive growth.

Sustainable and economical crop production is the life line of a farmer who strides not
only for his livelihood but also for the survival of the non farming community. I am happy that
the Department of Agriculture has formulated a plan of Rs. 1035.55 crores for the year 2015-16
and planned to achieve a food grain production level of 110.12 lakh tonnes as against the highest
production level of 107.49 lakh tonnes achieved during 2013-14.

Department has also planned to take up innovative schemes like Land Resource Inventory
project, strengthening of seed chain, crop colonies etc. Department also proposes to provide a credit
of Rs. 35179.88 crores to the farmers during 2015-16 as against Rs. 27233.59 crores during 2014-15
which would definitely help the farmers in crop production as well as infrastructure development.

Another new feature added is the contingency plan formulated in view of the IMD forecast
for the Kharif 2015. I am optimistic that the extension staff will work hard to disseminate the best
management practices and latest technology to the farmers and ensure delivery of inputs in time to
the farmers which would result in reaping a bumper harvest during 2015-16.

FOREWORD
The Department has formulated an Annual Action Plan at an estimated cost of Rs.
1035.55 crores seeking to achieve a food grains production level of 110.12 LMTs as against
an achievement of 107.49 lakh tonnes during 2013-14. The Department is also keen on facilitating the farmers in acquiring inputs like seeds, fertilizers, pesticides duly ensuring quality
standards and adequate institutional credit apart from extension work.

This document spells out the plan of action for the year 2015-16 for both Kharif and
Rabi seasons duly indicating the breakup of the schemes along with the outlay for SCSP &
TSP Sub-plan and breakup for all districts in the State. The focus of the department during
2015-16 would be on implementing Soil Health Card, Seed management, Organic farming, Credit, Farm Mechanization, Crop Insurance etc., schemes to achieve the targeted food
grains production level & other crops.

The Department is also striving to ensure that all the interventions made by department, reach and benefit the farming community and improve farm productivity and the socio-economic condition of the farmers through infrastructural, technological and financial
support. I hope this action plan reaches to all the concerned without fail.

INTRODUCTION
2015 - 2016
AGRICULTURE ACTION PLAN FOR THE YEAR 2015-16

Introduction :
Telangana state is the 29th State of India.It borders Maharashtra state on North West, Karnataka
on West and Rayalaseema region of Andhra Pradesh state on south. The region has an area of 114.62
square kilometers and a population of 352.87 lakhs as per 2011 census. Telangana state has 10
districts (including Hyderabad) Adilabad, Khammam, Karimnagar, Mahabubnagar, Medak, Nalgonda,
Nizamabad, Rangareddy and Warangal. The important Krishna and Godavari rivers flow through the
state from West to East.
Agriculture is on the top of the State Government agenda and all our efforts are being made
to increase productivity and areas especially under food grains while ensuring that the income of
the farmers goes up. The envisaged growth in excess of 6% in the Agriculture sector during the
12th plan is possible only if the farm incomes improve substantially. As an Agriculture and Irrigation
Policy Initiatives of the state it is targeted for higher productivity in respect of food crops. Several
programmes like Seed replacement specially encouraging foundation seed production of soybean,
Seed Village, Quality input supply, Farm mechanization, Polambadi, Credit, Insurance, etc., will be
implemented for the increasing production.
About The Department :

Sustainable and economical crop production is the life line for a farmer, who sheds his energy
not only for his livelihood but also for the survival of the non farming community. It is therefore,
the fundamental duty of the government to safeguard the interests of the farmer. The Department of
Agriculture as one arm of the Government has been established to perform the following functions in
the process of harmonizing the farming community.
The major Kharif coarse cereals are Maize, Jowar, Bajra, Ragi, are produced in the State known
for their rich nutrient content are the staple diet of millions of rural people.
During the 2015-16, the department will focus on the following strategies:

Soil mapping, digitization of all villages and strengthening of soil testing labs.
Seed production especially soybean seed production in coordination with PJTSAU and TSSDC
to make the Telangana state self sufficient in soybean seed production.
Crop production of various agricultural crops in coordination with PJTSAU
Re-engineering extension approach for effective extension reach
Empowering the farmer with advance agricultural practices
Capacity enhancement of Departmental Staff for an efficient extension of technology.
Ensuring timely input supply.
Regulation of inputs and quality control.
Promotion of Integrated Crop Management (ICM) through INM, IPM, efficient water
management, etc.
Promotion of organic farming to meet the demand of World Market.
2015 - 2016

Correcting Micronutrient Zinc deficiency

Reclamation of Problematic soils to restore the productivity
Natural Resource Management through watershed approach for agricultural land development
and environmental stability
Calamity Management in the event of drought, floods, hailstorms etc.
Promote farm mechanization especially among small and marginal farmers.
Promoting Farmers Organization (RythuMitra Groups) for technical and monitory benefits in
Agriculture and allied activities.
Facilitate the farmer to avail Agricultural Credit.
Women Empowerment and gender balance
Provide day-to-day information to farmer on crop production, input supply, and marketing
through Internet Services and AGRISNET
The Infrastructure:
The Departments has a strong man power resources consisting of more than 2254 extension
staff of field and supervisory cadre. The staff is periodically oriented with the advance technology
emerging from time to time by re-engineering through trainings, workshops, interactions etc., in
addition, the department supports a number of Farmers Training Centers, laboratories, Farmers Field
Schools etc., to equip the farmer with necessary details and knowledge for successful agriculture.
The Allied Departments /Agencies :

The research support to the Department is endowed by the State Agriculture University and the
National and International Institutes. The input support is solicited through various autonomous bodies
like TSSDC, TSAIDC, TSMARKFED, TSOILFED, HACA, etc., The other coordinating Departments
are Horticulture, Sericulture, Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, Irrigation, Forests and Power.
Rainfall :
Agriculture in Telangana is dependent on rainfall and agricultural production depends upon the
distribution of rainfall. The influence of South-West monsoon is predominant. South-West Monsoon
(79%) is spread over the period from June to September, North-East Monsoon (14%) from October to
December and the rest 7% rainfall is received during the winter and summer months.

Cropping intensity:
Cropping intensity is one of the indices for assessing the efficiency of agriculture sectors. The
cropping intensity i.e. the ratio of Gross area sown to Net area sown during 2013-14 is 1.27. The level
of cropping intensity moves in accordance with the behaviour of the Monsoon and availability of water
in irrigation sources.
Land holdings:
Agriculture production depends, to a considerable extent, upon the size of the unit of cultivation.
According to the census, the average size of land holding per farmer in the state during 2010-11 is at
1.12 hectares and the same is likely to fall below due to further fragmentation of the farm holdings,
since more than 70 % of rural population is dependent on Agriculture only.
2015 - 2016
The total numbers of operational holdings in the State are 55.54 lakhs covering an area of 61.97
lakh hectares. The Number of operational holdings belonging to various categories and the land
operated by them (2010-11) is indicated below:

have 14.14% holdings operate 44.55% of the area. The average size of holding in Telangana state is
1.12 ha.
Cropping Pattern:
In Telangana state crops are grown in both Kharif and Rabi seasons put together covering an
area of 59.45 Lakh hectares. The important crops grown are Rice 20.09 Lakh ha, Maize 7.52 Lakh
ha, Pulses 5.63 Lakh ha, Groundnut 2.10 Lakh ha., Cotton 17.13 Lakh ha, Chillies 0.79 Lakh ha, and
Sugarcane 0.39 Lakh ha,etc. 75% of area is grown in kharif and the remaining area of 25% is cultivated
in Rabi season during 2013-14.

Agro climatic zones:

Based on climatic parameters i.e. Rainfall, Soils and cropping pattern etc., the state (10 districts)
is divided in to 4 Agro-climatic zones. The agricultural planning for each zone is supported with the
research and recommendations of Regional Agricultural Research Stations of ANGRAU setup within
each zone.

SOIL TESTING
2015 - 2016
SOIL TESTING
Soil Sampling and Soil testing programme is organized in a systematic manner to evaluate the
fertility status and to identify the problems (salinity/ Sodicity) if any, to improve fertility and to apply
fertilizer based on soil test data.
Objectives of the scheme:

To evaluate the fertility status

To identify and reclaim the problematic soils
To promote soil test based fertilizer usage
To adopt balanced and integrated use of fertilizers and thereby reducing cost of cultivation.
To improve soil health.

Organizing Soil Testing Campaign:

The Department of Agriculture organized soil testing campaign from 1st to 10th April 2014.
During campaign, the departmental staff will create awareness about the soil health and 10 samples per
revenue village were collected.
Objectives of the programme:

To create awareness among farmers regarding the importance of soil testing, judicious and
integrated use of fertilizers based on soil test data.
To improve soil health through green manuring.
To promote use of amendments for reclamation of acidic/ alkaline soils.
To promote use of micronutrients for improving soil health & productivity.
Distribution of Soil Health Cards:

Soil Health plays a vital role to ensure agricultural production in a sustainable manner. Intensive
agriculture, while increasing food production, has caused not only major nutrients deficiencies but also
caused secondary as well as micronutrient deficiencies.
Timely correction action therefore necessitates balanced use of fertilizers based on soil test data.
The Department of Agriculture after analysis of the soil samples will distribute soil health cards
to the farmers duly advocating the farmers to adopt soil test based fertilizer recommendations taking
into consideration the farming situation and major crops grown in each village.
17
2015 - 2016
As part of the AGRISNET portal, a software has been developed http://apagrisnet.gov.in to

computerize the soil test results, so that soil health cards can be downloaded by farmers and also by
MAOs at any time and from any place to avoid the delay in issuing of soil health card.
Statement showing the STL wise targets for analysis of Soil samples for Macro, micronutrients
and water for the year 2014-15 is enclosed in Annexure I.
Strengthening & Setting up of Soil Testing Labs:Objectives :

To evaluate the fertility status

To identify and reclaim the problematic soils
To promote soil test based fertilizer usage.
To adopt balanced and integrated use of fertilizers and thereby reducing cost of cultivation.
To improve soil health.
Benefits of the programme:

Judicious use of fertilizers based on Soil test results.
Reduction in indiscriminate use of fertilizers results in reduced soil ill effects.
Reduction in cost on fertilizers decreases the total cost of cultivation there by improves the
profit margin to farmers.
Guidelines for implementation of Strengthening & Setting up of Soil Testing Labs:

Soil & water are the greatest natural resources gifted to mankind. Our country basically depends
upon agriculture, thus it becomes more so important to study, analyze and effectively manage
soil and water. Soil being the basic media for the plants to stand and grow and water becomes
the lifeline to the plants. In view of this a greater importance has been attached for management
of soil and water by way of analysis, there by contributing increased productivity in modern
agriculture.
The main objectives are to estimate the available nutrient status, reaction of the soil, to determine
accurate dose of nutrient to be applied for a particular soil, determining the presence or absence
of abnormal soil conditions such as salinity, alkalinity or acidity, determine their magnitude and
suggest ameliorants for reclamation.
It is proposed to establish 2 new soil testing labs in each of the 7 districts and one new soil testing
lab in Mahabubnagar & Nizamabad districts totaling to 16 new STLs with a financial outlay of
Rs 870.00 lakhs @ Rs 534.38 lakhs per lab and also to establish 2 new Mobile Soil testing labs
in Mahabubnagar & Nalgonda districts with a financial outlay of Rs 118.00 lakhs @ Rs 59.00
lakhs per lab.
It is proposed to strengthen the existing 11 district soil testing labs in the State with a financial
outlay of Rs 132.00 lakhs @ 12.00 lakhs per lab & also to strengthen the existing Mobile Soil
testing lab in the State with a financial outlay of Rs 12.00 lakhs.

Seed Supply Plan 2015-16
The availability and use of quality seed is not a one-time affair. Sustained increase in agriculture
production and productivity necessarily requires continuous development of new and improved
varieties of crops and efficient systems of production (Seed Chain) and supply of Certified/Quality
seed to farmers.
I. Objectives:1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Seed is a critical determinant in increasing the agricultural production.

The performance and efficiency of other inputs depends on the quality of seed.Certified/
quality seed plays an important role in achieving higher yields.
Hence supply of quality seed to the farmers is one of the most important interventions to
increase the production and productivity of any crop.
To bring more area under cultivation certified or quality seed must be supplied at affordable
prices and in adequate quantities to the farmers.
The area under cultivation is not going to increase significantly; the thrust will have to be
on rising productivity per unit of cultivated land.
In Telangana the Seed production chain is being strengthened by producing various classes
of seed i.e. Breeder seed, Foundation seed and certified seed by different Government and Private
Institutions. The certified/quality and improved seed thus produced is being distributed to the farmers
through the various Central and State schemes. This is one of the most effective way of increasing the
production and productivity at the field level. Supply of seed on subsidy means the average farmers
are able to purchase the most critical input in agriculture i.e. seed at affordable price which will help in
achieving desirable increase in production and productivity. The main thrust while supplying the seed
on subsidy is for varietal replacement and promotion of Pulses and Oilseed crops.
In order to achieve the food production target of the future, a major effort will be required to
enhance the seed replacement rate of various crops. It would require a major increase in the production
of certified/quality seed.
II. Subsidy seed distribution under different schemes:Seed Supply Plan for Kharif 2015 and Rabi 2015-16 is prepared based on the district wise, season
wise seed requirement as furnished by the District Joint Directors of Agriculture in the State. Out of
total requirement of 18.54 Lakh Quintals, it is planned to distribute a quantity of 8.706 lakh qtls of seed
under subsidy during 2015-16, with a estimated subsidy value of Rs. 14186.70 lakhs. Arrangements
are already made with seed supplying Govt. Agencies for supply of quality certifiedseed on subsidy to
the farmers under various schemes as detailed below:
1.
National Food Security Mission (NFSM) (Paddy, Pulses, Coarse Cereals).
2.
Rastriya Krishi VikasYojana (RKVY).
3.
National Mission on OILSEEDS and OILPALM Programme (NMOOP).
4.
Normal State Plan.
23
2015 - 2016
The subsidy seed will be supplied by the various Government seed supplying nodal agencies i.e.
TSSDC, TSOILFED, MARKFED,NSC, NACOF and HACA.
The crop wise Subsidy seed plan, seed supply Plan for Kharif 2015 and Rabi 2015-16 , crop
wise district plans are given in Annexure I-IX respectively.
Promotion of new varieties:

To promote new varietiesunder different crops a State Level Standing Committee has been
formed as per the instructions of GOI. The Committee has discussed with various Research Institutes
regarding the new crop varieties which can be promoted in Telanganathrough subsidy scheme.
SEED PRODUCTION PLAN

Introduction:
Telangana is endowed with excellent climatic conditions which are suitable for seed production
of Paddy varieties, pulses, oil seeds and hybrids of Cotton, Sorghum, Maize, Bajra, Sunflower, Fodder
Sorghum and vegetable crops. Best quality seed is produced due to congenial climate prevailing for
seed production and the farmers have become expert in seed production of different crops over a
period of four decades of seed production in Telangana State.
Telangana State is involved in production and supply of good quality seed to farmers all over
India and also to other countries. Around 40% of the hybrid seed marketed in the country is produced
in Telangana. It is planned to develop the Telangana State as a Seed Bowl by Strengthening the Seed
Production Chain and development of infra structure for promotion and multiplication of new varieties,
production of Soybean and other crop seeds and to develop each village as a Seed Village in the next
five years.
Seed is the most critical of all agricultural inputs and determines the performance and efficiency
of other inputs for enhancing productivity and production and thereby income of the farmers. It is
therefore, essential that quality seeds with good genetic potential appropriate to the agro-climatic
conditions are produced in sufficient quantity at affordable price and made available to the farmers
timely for achieving higher agricultural production.
Supply of quality seed is not a one-time affair. Three seasons are required for production of
certified seed from the Breeder seed. Lot of planning is required to ensure that right crop variety is
available to the farmers at the right time.
Objective:
1. Production and supply of certified seed of various crops new varieties / HYV / Hybrids in identified
villages and to develop each village as a seed village to achieve 100% Seed Replacement rate
and develop Telangana State as Seed Bowl.
2. Strengthening the Seed Production Chain i.e. Breeder seed, Foundation seed and certified seed
production.
24
2015 - 2016
3. Production incentives to the grower farmers especially for Soybean, Pulses, Cereals, Millets etc.
4. Development of infra structure facilities such as seed storage godowns, processing units, special
harvesters for Soybean seed, seed testing facilities etc.
5. Production of new crop varieties and replacement of old varieties to increase the Varietal
Replacement Ratio in the next five years
6. Seed made available to the farmers in time at affordable price for achieving higher agricultural
production.
Implementation of the project:

Seed Production and distribution is a continuous process.To produce quality/certified seed and
to develop State as Seed Bowl, a long term Seed Production Plan is prepared by the Department
by involving various Research Institutions, Government Department/ Agencies and Private Seed
Producing Agencies.There are three stages of seed production which are to be strengthened to produce
required quantity of certified seed and to develop each village as a Seed Village.
1. Breeder seed : Breeder seed is produced and supplied by the State Agriculture universities and
ICAR Institutes.
2. Foundation seed : The Breeder seed will be procured and multiplied into Foundation seed
by the government agencies such as TSSDC, NSC, HIL, OILFED, HACA, Cooperatives and
Private Seed Companies including state seed farms.
3. Certified seed: The Foundation seed is further multiplied to certified seed stage-I and stage -II
by the government agencies such as TSSDC, NSC, HIL, OILFED, HACA, Cooperatives and
Private Seed Companies including under seed village scheme.
There are number of Private Companies also involved in the production of different crops notified
varieties and their own research hybrids/ varieties, but focusing on low volume and high value Hybrid
crop seeds such as Cotton, Maize, Sunflower, Jowar, Bajra, Castor and hybrid Paddy.
The Government sector is mainly concentrating on production of different crops notified varieties
of HYV and new varieties released by the Government research institutions and focusing on high
volume and low value crop seed varieties such as of Paddy, Jowar, Redgram, Green gram, Black gram,
Bengal gram, Groundnut, Sesamum etc. to develop state as seed bowl of India, private seed sector is
also to be involved in production of self pollinated varieties.
Production and Supply of quality seed is not a one-time affair. Three seasons are required for
production of certified seed from the Breeder seed. Lot of planning is required to ensure that right crop
variety is available to the farmers at the right time. There is need to replace the existing seeds (SRR)
at the rate of 33% for self pollinated crops, 50% for cross pollinated crops and 100% for hybrids to
achieve the food production target of the future. Therefore it is planned to increase present SRR to
100% SRR in the next five years.
25
2015 - 2016
In Hybrid Seeds of Cotton, Maize, Sunflower, Jowar, Bajra, Castor and hybrid paddy the SRR
is 100%. Therefore to increase the SRR in self pollinated crops such as Soybean, Paddy, Groundnut,
Pulses like Redgram, Green gram, Black gram, Bengal gram and Millets the Government is encouraging
Government and Private sector on production of different crop seed in the State.
Seed Production and distribution is a continuous process.To produce quality/certified seed and
to develop State as Seed Bowl, a long term Seed Production Plan is required by involving various
Research Institutions, Government Department/ Agencies and Private Seed Producing Agencies to
produce required quantity of certified seed and to develop each village as a Seed Village.

State Seed farms

Seed is the critical and basic input for attaining agricultural production as well as productivity
goals of various crops. The crucial role of the seed has been recognized from time immemorial and
attempts were made for identification and development of a proper seed which holds the key for
agricultural abundance.
There are 10 State Seed Production Farms functioning in the state of Telangana with the main
objective of production of Foundation/Certified Seed to meet the seed requirement under Seed Village
Programme and in turn to the farmers.

The State Seed Farms have been identified by the Government as Source of Foundation seed
production by making use of Breeder seed supplied by Research institutions of the State Agricultural
University.
B. Objectives of the State Seed Farms:

Production of Foundation seed and supply under Departmental Schemes such as Seed Village
Scheme.
Production of Certified seed and supply to the farmers of the village where the farm is situated
and also to the surrounding villages.
C. Present Agricultural Scenario and role of State Seed Farms :

Supply of the quality subsidy seed through different schemes implemented by the Department
of Agriculture which helps the farmers to attain good quality produce and automatically
improves the economic standards of the farmer.
The Foundation seed is also being supplied to the progressive farmers of the surrounding
Villages.
Thus the State Seed Farms play an important role in promoting the seed chain.
37
2015 - 2016
D. Budget Provision
The crop cultivation charges for the crops taken up in State Seed farms will be met from the
Revolving Fund account of state Seed farms maintained at the Commissionerate and it will be
recouped by the sale proceeds of the Seed produced in the farm.
E. Expected Outcome:
The quantity of foundation seed production would be increased in the seed farms which
would help to meet the requirement of Seed Village Scheme there by the dependency on seed
supplying agencies would be minimized for serving farming community.
The basic objective of the Seed Bowl production and distribution of the quality seed to
the farmers would be achieved.

SEED REGULATION :

A focused annual target of 7340 seed samples is fixed on prorate basis out of which 80% samples
will be drawn in Kharif 2015 before sowings attain full swing. The remaining 20% will be drawn
during Rabi 2015-16.( Annexure I)
The Pre-release Quality Assurance Programme will be implemented during this year 2015-16
also and the samples will be under law enforcement category and action in case of substandard
seed will be dealt under applicable provisions of Seeds Act 1966 and existing seeds laws.
The DNA Fingerprinting Lab, at SAMETI, Old Malakpet which started functioning from Kharif
2008 onwards shall cater analytical services for identification of varieties, Genetic purity test,
identification of events and quantity of Bt protein in GM crops besides testing all other crops for
PMG analysis.
Further in view of empowerment of existing notified seed testing labs, the seed samples of Bt
cotton hybrid will be referred to STLs Rajendranagar, and DNA Fingerprinting Lab, Malakpet
under law enforcement category.
A separate target of 2150 seed samples of Cotton is included in the seed samples target.
Central squads from the Commissionerate will be constituted for random inspections in the
districts where illegal seed business is suspected i.e., during pre-Kharif and pre-Rabi season
where the sales attain peak point.
Action in case of seed samples declared substandard wherein, instead of restricting legal action
to the particular district only, the particulars of seed lots declared not confirming to prescribed
standards is communicated to all the district Joint Directors of Agriculture for uniform action in
respect of seed lot and to draw samples and initiate action accordingly.
It is proposed to strengthen all the notified as well as Single Window Diagnostic Labs in respect of
equipment / instruments and chemicals for which a budget of Rs. 85.00 lakhs has been proposed
by the Government of Telangana .
Targets for the Single Window Diagnostic Facility Seed Testing Labs is fixed as 600 seed samples
per year, with a view to increase drawl of samples under service category by the extension staff
and also by farmers so as to ensure quality seed availability to the farmers.
Trainings to Seed Inspectors on Seed quality regulation and also to the Seed Analysts on seed
testing procedures will be imparted.
All the Joint Directors of Agriculture in the state will be alerted to take-up frequent inspections
followed by necessary action seeking detentions, seizures, booking cases etc. during the peak
season to curb flow of spurious seeds.
ll the Joint Directors of Agriculture in the state are being continuously pursued to prosecute
A
the accused in all the cases of substandard seed samples as per procedure in time.

Nutrient Based Subsidy Policy (NBS Policy):

Department of Fertilizers (DoF), Government of India communicated the Nutrient Based Subsidy
Policy from 01.04.2010.
Salient features of NBS policy:

The Department of Fertilizers, Govt. of India implemented the Nutrient Based Subsidy Policy
frotm 1-4-2010. Under this policy, fixed subsidy is extended on the fertilizer products (except Urea)
based on the Nutrient content. The fertilizer companies will decide MRPs based on the cost of the
raw materials/Finished Goods (FGs) in the international market. The State Government has no role
regarding fixation of MRPs of fertilizers.
Products covered : The NBS is applicable to DAP, MoP, MAP, TSP, 16 grades of complex
fertilizers, Ammonium Sulphate (GSFC & FACT) and SSP.
Subsidy applicable: The primary nutrients of N, P, K and sulphur (S) are eligible for subsidy.
(The per Kg subsidy is, N-Rs.20.875/-, P-Rs.18.679/-, K-15.500/-, S-1.677/- for the year 2014-15.
However, for the year 2015-16, the NBS Policy guidelines are awaited from the Dept of Fertilizers.
Additional per tone subsidy is given for fertilizers carrying other secondary and micro-nutrients.
This is to encourage balanced use of fertilizers.The per MT additional subsidy on Boron is Rs.300/and for Zinc Rs.500/-.
Secondary Nutrients :
Micro Nutrients
:

Calcium (Ca) & Sulphur (S)

Zinc (Zn), Boron (B), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe),
Copper (Cu) & Molybdenum (Mo)
Printing of MRPs on the fertilizer bags: The fertilizer companies are required to print the
Maximum Retail Prices (MRP) along with the applicable subsidy on the fertilizer bags clearly. Any
sale above the printed MRP will be punishable under EC Act.
The distribution and movement of fertilizers along with import of finished fertilizers, fertilizer
inputs and production by indigenous units will continue to be monitored through the online web based
Fertilizer Monitoring System (FMS) / mobile FMS.
Supply plan of Fertilizers:

The product-wise monthly allocations to the States ie, supply plans will be decided and
communicated to the States by the Department of Fertilizers (DoF), Government of India and in turn
to the districts from the head office based on the requirement obtained from the district JDAs.

47
2015 - 2016
The estimated district-wise, nutrient wise fertilizer consumption for Kharif 2015 and Rabi 201516 is given in annexure I, along with district-wise allocation for Kharif-2015 & estimated projections
for Rabi 2015-16 in annexure-II.
Supply of Zinc Sulphate (21%)

Introduction
Soil is exploited by the land users / farmers to increase the productivity. In recent times the
deficiency of Zinc and increase in the alkalinity of the soil is reported in the State. Integrated Nutrient
Management envisages soil test based balanced and judicious application of NPK fertilizers and
secondary and micro-nutrient fertilizers in conjunction with organic sources of nutrient for maintenance
of soil fertility and of plant nutrient supply at an optimum level for sustaining the desired productivity
and through optimization of the benefits from all possible sources of organic, inorganic and biological
components in an integrated manner.
The deficiency of Zinc is noticed in the soils of the State by which the nutrient uptake is hampered
affecting the productivity of crop adversely.
To overcome the zinc deficiency it is proposed to supply Zinc Sulphate-21% to the farmers on
subsidy in the state with the funds released from Government of India under NFSM-Paddy scheme and
NSP-INM schemes respectively for the year 2015-16 also. The districts which are not covered under
NFSM Paddy scheme will be catered to under NSP-Integrated Nutrient Management.
Objective of the programme.

To overcome the problem of Zinc deficiency in paddy crop
To increase the productivity of paddy crop.
Benefits of the Programme

Application of Zinc Sulphate in the previous years has resulted in increased production and
productivity of paddy besides quality of the produce, hence it is highly beneficial in the
interest of the farming community, to continue the programme during 2015-16.
Brief guidelines for implementation of the programme

1.
The Nodal Agencies should procure ISI Zinc Sulphate 21% from the eligible manufacturers only,
basing on the quantities mentioned in Form-J and Form-L of a particular batch.
2. Dosage - 50 kg Per Ha for Paddy crop .
3. The extent to each beneficiary is limited to 2 Ha.s
4. The Nodal Agencies shall position the stock of Zinc Sulphate 21% at the placement centers
furnished by respective district Joint Director of Agriculture along with the quantity under
intimation to the respective Assistant Director of Agriculture and Mandal Agricultural Officer.
5. As soon as Zinc Sulphate 21% is positioned, the Mandal Agricultural Officer shall draw sample
duly observing the sampling procedure laid down in FCO 1985 from the stocks and send the
same to FCC to arrange for analysis. If, the samples fail, necessary action should be initiated as
per FCO.
48
2015 - 2016

6.
7.
8.
The Joint Directors of Agriculture, should intimate the concerned Agril.Officers about the
allocation of Zinc Sulphate made for each mandal in the district, so that permits may not be
issued over and above the allotted quantities of Zinc Sulphate.
Permits will be issued to the farmers by the Agricultural Officers based on the areas under the
crop proposed in their Pattadar Pass Book. The areas permitted to each farmer shall be indicated
in Ha in words and the material supply also shall be clearly indicated in words.
The permit signed by the concerned MAO should only be honored and no other evidence is
required.
Subsidy Pattern
The subsidy pattern is limited to Rs.500 per Ha as done in the last year. The rate per metric
tone of Zn-21% in 2014-15 was Rs.35400/- per MT . The rate of Zinc Sulphate to be supplied
on subsidy during 2015-16 is yet to be fixed by the Government.
Area to be covered, No. of farmers to be benefited etc.

It is proposed to distribute 1920 M.T.s of Zinc sulphate covering an area of 38000 Ha and
approximately 60,000 No. of farmers during 2015-16 with a total subsidy involvement of
Rs.192.50 Lakhs under Normal State Plan-Integrated Nutrient Management.
Area of operation
Medak, Nizamabad, Karimnagar & Nalgonda districts.The remaining districts (Except
Rangareddy) are covered under NFSM-Paddy scheme.
Canalizing Agencies
MARKFED was designated as Nodal Agency for distribution of Zinc Sulphate-21% in the
year 2014-15. However for the year 2015-16, government has to nominate and appoint nodal
agency for taking up the programme.

Schemes Proposed For Promotion of Organic Farming for 2015-16 :

1. Objectives:
Organic farming is promoted in the erstwhile united Andhra Pradesh state since 2006-07 with
the main objective to encourage use of organic manures instead of the expensive chemical fertlisers&
also to develop the land / agriculture into organic rather than the crop. The initiatives been taken up
by the Agriculture department in the undivided state of the Andhra Pradesh since 2006-07 are being
continued on priority in the newly formed Telangana state.
2. Benefits of the Programme:

The need for organic farming arises from the un-sustainability of agriculture production and
the damage caused to ecology through the conventional farming practices. The practice of organic
farming, is based on the similar principles underlying our traditional agriculture said to the best known
alternative to the conventional method Organic agriculture aims at the human welfare without any
harm to the environment which is the foundation of human life itself.
The philosophy of organic agriculture is to feed the soil rather than the crops to maintain soil
health and is a means of giving back to the nature what have been taken from it. Organic farming is
not a technology but a system close to nature where in problems of farming is managed using local
resources alone.

PROMOTION OF CERTIFIED ORGANIC FARMING RKVY

The practice of organic farming, said to the best known alternative to the conventional method,
which suffered from the ill effects of chemical agriculture. However, organic farming is based on the
similar principles underlying our traditional agriculture. Organic agriculture aims at the human welfare
without any harm to the environment which is the foundation of human life itself.
The need for organic farming arises from the un-sustainability of agriculture production and the
damage caused to ecology through the conventional farming practices.
Benefits of Organic Farming

Organic agricultural practices are based on a maximum harmonious relationship with nature
aiming at the non-destruction of the environment. The major problem is the poor productivity of our
soils because of the low level content of the organic matter. The efficiency of the organic inputs in the
promotion of productivity depends on the organic contents of the soil.
Objectives

Sustainable agriculture
Increasing agriculture production
Food self-sufficiency
Environmental protection
Conservation of natural resources
Rural development
Organic production requires certification after periodic inspections in order to ensure that all
prescribed practices are followed.
Need For Organic Certification:

For a consumer it is not at all possible to distinguish between the organic products &
conventional agriculture products. Certification is a system by which the consumer is assured for the
quality of the product. Certification system has been introduced mainly to:
Protect consumer rights of getting the product of appropriate quality, as per the claims.
Protect the interests of the organic farmers by assigning their product a
clear distinction.
Develop the economical status of farmers.
Definition:
Certification is a procedure by which a third party gives written assurance, that a clearly
identified process has been adopted by the grower which has been methodically inspected and assessed
by the certifying agency for its accuracy and authenticity, to ensure that specified product conform to
the specified requirements, to install the confidence of the consumers.

2015 - 2016
Promotion of Certified Organic Farming- Telangana

Scheme for promotion of certified organic farming is an ongoing scheme being implemented
under RKVY since 2013-14 . The main objective is to develop the land / agriculture into organic
rather than the crop. Deputy Director of Agriculture, Farmers Training Centres in each district are the
scheme implementing agencies for the area expansion under organic farming.
Certification of Organic Farming scheme was implemented with a financial allocation of
Rs.5.00 crores during 2014-15 . An area of 2305 ha spread over 8 districts in the state covering crops
like Paddy ,Redgram , Bengalgram , Maize , Jowar, Groundnut , Vegetables etc. was registered
for organic certification. Organic inputs worth Rs5000/ha were given to the registered farmers as
decided by the district level committee wherein the representative farmers are also the members.
Free organic certification is provided involving APEDA accredited agencies i.e AOCA Bangalore &
VOCA Hyderabad, in addition to the capacity building of the registered farmers through trainings
and organising exposure visits.Further to facilitate availability of sufficient organic inputs locally,
assistance for establishment of Vermi compost units, Vermi hatcheries& BIS mark (IS15907:2010)
specifications High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Woven beds for Vermiculture was also provided
In view of the theParamparagth Krishi Vikas Yojana Scheme (PKVY) being initiated by the GoI
for promotion of Organic farming in cluster approach with PGS certification it is proposed to scale
down the project of area expansion under certified farming to the extent of the areas already registered
with the department and are in conversion stages .
Action Plan For Funding Under Rkvy 2015-16

It is proposed to promote certified organic farming in an area of 1685 hac which are already
registered with the department of agriculture and is in 1st year and 2nd year conversion status to
organic, in 8 districts of the state are as detailed below :

Assistance for on farm generation of organic inputs:

Vermi Compost
Vermi compost is organic compost prepared with the help of earthworms and is high value
nutrient rich compost. The earthworms are adaptable to varied soil conditions and they remain active
in the soil strata and help in the distribution of humus to soil layers. Organic compost can be produced
at a faster rate by the earthworm activity and is very economical.
In vermi composting process the potentiality of microorganisms and earthworm is collectively
exploited to obtain nutrient rich compost. Earthworm population in organic matter rich soils act as
natural bioreactors, harness beneficial soil micro flora, destroy soil pathogens and convert organic
wastes into valuable products such as bio fertilizers, vitamins, enzymes, antibiotics, growth hormones
and worm biomass. Earthworm gut is a tiny fertilizer factory, where raw materials are entering from
one end and the finished product comes out from the other end.
Utility of earthworms:
H
elps in quick decomposition of organic matter
On being properly established in the soil, improve soils physical, chemical and biological
properties
Ensure early availability of various nutrients essential for plant growth
Enhance activity of beneficial microorganism
Improves water holding capacity of the soil
Increase productivity
An ideal population of about 2-4 lakh earthworms/ha can make permanent structurally stable
burrows in soil, which helps in infiltration of water up to a depth of 120 cm
Earthworm castings are stable and do not break easily. This reduces erosion hazard by wind
and water run-off.
Helps in control of diseases and pests through antibiotics and balanced nutrition.
Asistance for Onfarm Generation of Organic Inputs

Most of the farmers are burning their farm and Threshing yard waste and Home waste. In
Vermi Composting Process the potentiality of microorganisms and earthworms is collectively
exploited to obtain nutrient rich Compost from the available farm waste and there by to
improve soil fertility.
61
2015 - 2016
Benefits of the Programme :

Farmers get habituated for application of Vermicompost Organic manure to enrich soil
fertility.
Ensures early availability of various essential nutrients for plant growth.
Vermi composting reduces the cost of cultivation and increases the yield both in qualitative
and quantitative terms and reduce the inorganic fertilizer application.
Soil fertility will be improved both in terms of structural and nutrient aspects thus making
cultivation/soil management easy year by year.
Gradual shifting of cultivation from inorganic to organic.
Adds soil nutrients N-1.5%, P-0.8%, K-0.7%.
Supply of Bis Mark (Is 15907:2010 Specification) HDPE Woven Beds For Vermi Culture : To
motivate small & marginal farmers to take up vermin composting it is proposed to supply 600 nos of
BIS Mark ( IS 15907:2010 Specifications) HDPE Woven Beds for Vermi Culture on 50 % subsidy
@Rs.5000/unit with an allocation of Rs.30.00 Lakhs

PLANT PROTECTION
2015 - 2016
PLANT PROTECTION
Plant protection needs greater attention to prevent yield loss due to incidence of pests and
diseases. This can be achieved through release of new pest and disease resistant varieties, development
of new pesticide molecules, by adopting Integrated Pesticide Management practices and timely
communication of plant protection measures to the farmers through print and electronic media.
The pesticide consumption is reduced due to the increased awareness created among farmers
on Integrated Pest Management practices by conducting Polambadi programmes in farmers fields,
introduction of Bt. Varieties and hybrids in cotton, usage of bio-pesticide and timely communication
of Integrated Pesticide Management Practices to the farmers through extension programmes, print and
electronic media.
During the year 2015-16, the following schemes or activities are taken up in the Plant Protection
section under RKVY as shown in the table.

I Strengthening of Pesticide testing laboratories of Rajendranagar, Warangal,

PTL coding centre and BPTL SAMETI, Hyderabad.
Objectives:
Agricultural chemicals including pesticides are widely used to increase the crop production
by controlling pests. The uses of pesticides increasing day by day and to monitor the quality of pesticides
number of samples are to be analyzed to supply good quality of pesticides to the farmers. Hence, the
quality of pesticides has to be assessed before its use by the farmers. The Pesticide testing laboratories
are to be equipped with sophisticated equipment and the equipment needs regular maintenance and
servicing as every year new generation molecules are released into the market.
Area of Operation:
During the year 2015-16, the target of pesticide samples are fixed at 3710 (3587 Pesticides
+ 123 Bio-Pesticides) and all the Departmental Officers alerted through E-Mail to issue stop sale/
seizure order to the misbranded product and initiate action as per the Insecticides Act 1968. Details of
misbranded samples product name, batch No, manufacturers name are given wide publicity through
print & electronic media to alert farming community not to buy / use of insecticides of misbranded
batch.
In Telangana Two Pesticide Testing Laboratories and one Bio-pesticide testing laboratory
(BPTL), PTL & coding centre are functioning to analyze the samples. This year (2015-16) the target
fixed as 3710 samples. All the PTLs and BPTL in the state were instructed to follow the directions
given below for management of laboratories to improve quality of analysis.
Guidelines for implementation

There are Two PTLs located at Rajendranagar, Warangal, PTL Coding and one Bio-Pesticide
Testing & Quality Control Laboratory at Hyderabad functioning in the state with annual target
of analysis of 3710 samples during the year 2015-16.
Maintain the secrecy of place of pesticide analysis and to ensure the supply of quality pesticides
to the farming community, the pesticide coding centre was established in Hyderabad.
Analysis for all parameters to be done.
Computer should have partition hard disk in case of failure of Computer.
Run off test for encapsulated granules are compulsory.
Every lab should have two GLCs and 2 HPLCs in case not available submit proposals to that
extent to this office.
Calibration of glassware and equipments in the lab should be done for every six months.
Clean the glassware with chromic acid once in six months.
Prorata analysis should be done only on GLCs by avoiding volumetric analysis system. The
procedure is already introduced.
10% replicate analysis must be done.
ADA should analyze 2% to 3% of samples for cross verification of the samples analyzed by the
A.Os.
Sending of samples to other labs in the state for cross verification (Z Score) of results at least 2
to 3 samples for every three months.
78
2015 - 2016

Call the experts from University, Departments and arrange training to A.Os working in the lab.
Maintenance of visitor register in the lab is must.
Justification :
In Telangana all the pesticide testing laboratories put together analyzing 3710 number of
pesticide samples after coding by the PTL & DDA coding centre of Hyderabad. New molecules are
being released into the market every year by the pesticide manufacturing firms. Further in addition to the
new molecules, the existing pesticide molecules of all the firms needs to be checked regularly to supply
good quality pesticides to the farmers by strengthening existing state pesticide testing laboratories with
sophisticated state of art equipment and infrastructure
Expected benefits/Outcome:
1.
2.
3.

The main objective of the Project is to improve the quality control of pesticides and bio-pesticides
by regularly analyzing the samples to check the quality of pesticides and bio-pesticides supplied
to farmers.
To reduce the indiscriminate and injudicious use of chemical pesticides in agriculture by regularly
assessing the pesticide residues present in the food products.
To identify hazardous pesticide molecules mixed with the spurious bio-products.
The pesticide samples drawn by the Insecticide Inspectors in the premises of pesticide
dealer / manufacturing unit are analyzed at Pesticide Testing Laboratories and the results are
communicated to Insecticide Inspectors in time as per the provisions of the Insecticides Act
1968, so as to take action against the manufacturers of misbranded pesticides. The release of
misbranded pesticides into the market by the manufacturer can be prevented and good quality
pesticides can be supplied to the farmer.
The Lab wise requirement of amount for Strengthening is as follows.

II. ESTABLISHMENT OF PESTICIDE RESIDUE LABORATORY

Introduction :
The use of Agricultural inputs increased in the state after green revolution to meet the demand
for production resulting in the increase of the pesticide consumption in the state. Indiscriminate
and injudicious use of chemical pesticides in agriculture has resulted in several associated adverse
effects such as environmental pollution, ecological imbalances, pesticides residues in food, fruits and
vegetables, fodder, soil and water, pest resurgence, human and animal health hazards, destruction of
bio-control agents, development of resistance in pests etc.
79
2015 - 2016
Agriculture chemicals including pesticides are widely used to increase efficiency, productivity,
quality and variety of produce all year round. The Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) defines
a pesticide as any substance or mixture of substances intended for preventing, destroying, attracting,
repelling, or controlling any pest including unwanted species of plant or animals during the production,
storage, transport, distribution, and processing of food, agricultural commodities, or animal feeds or
which may be administered to animals for the control of ecoparasites. The residue of the pesticide
chemical including the derivatives is tested to ensure that food safety is maintained.
The various pesticide residues are categorized into groups.

The most common groups tested are:

Organochlorine pesticides (e.g. aldrin, chlordane, DDT, dieldrin, endosulfan, lindane)
Organophosphorus pesticides (e.g. chlorpyrifos, dimethoate, fenthion, parathion,phosmet)
Carbamate pesticides (e.g. aldicarb, carbaryl, phenoxycarb, pirimicarb)
Dithiocarbamates (e.g. mancozeb, ferbam, propineb, zineb)
Synthetic pyrethroid pesticides (e.g. bifenthrin, cyhalothrin, deltamethrin, permethrin)
Herbicides (e.g. glyphosate metribuzin oxyfluorfen pendimethalin)
Acaricides (e.g. buprofezin propargite tebufenpyrad tetradifon)
To ensure that food safety is maintained, the food products should be screened for the presence of
pesticide residues in food, water and soil. We understand the importance of detecting the lowest levels
possible without compromising quality and service. In order to achieve these low levels, the residues
should be analyzed by Gas Chromatography- Mass Spectrometer (GS-MS), Liquid ChromatorgraphyMass Spectrometer (LC-MS) or by High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to cater the needs
of the local, export and import markets.
Already experienced the rejection of the produce like chillies, curry leaf, etc., by importing
authorities due to the presence of pesticide residues above the prescribed MRL, fixed by Codex
Alimentarius Commission, joint venture of FAO & WHO.
The significance of pesticide residues depends upon
1. The nature and level of residues present and
2. Their toxicology
Justification of project
Pesticide residues are found in food and agriculture products owing to the increased use of
pesticides in agriculture and their presence in the environment. The Agreement on Sanitary and phyto
sanitary measures of WTO gives each country the freedom to fix the standards for pesticide residues.
To ensure that the product does not get rejected after it reaches the importing country, the exporter
needs to have his product analyzed for residual pesticides and supply only such products, which meet
the importing countries requirement.
Due to increase in awareness on IPM, farmers are giving preference for using bio pesticides and
other organic products to get premium value for their products in National & International market.
Some of the firms manufacturing and marketing products in the name of bio-products and mixing
80
2015 - 2016
chemical pesticides which resulted in presence of pesticide residues above MRL in the produce. In
T.S. nearly 98 firms obtained orders from Honble court and manufacturing Bio-products. The Honble
High Court directed the manufacturers of bio-products to submit a sample of each bio-product dealt
with by them to the Department of Agriculture. The samples so received are to be analyzed within
eight weeks and communicate the results to the bio-product manufacturing units. Most of these bioproducts manufacturing units are misleading the farmers with high propaganda and exploiting the
farmers. The analysis of products with unknown composition requires sophisticated equipment with
reference standards.
It is necessary to evaluate the pesticide residues in the light of their toxicity to assess the residual
effect in Food and the environment. One of the basic prerequisites of such evaluation and assessment
is the availability of reliable data on pesticide residues in food, feed and the environment.
Therefore, it is highly desirable to have a sophisticated laboratory to identify and quantify the
pesticide residues at ppm (parts per million) or even ppb level (parts per billion) as the case may be, so
as to ensure that our agricultural produce will not be rejected for exports with this pretext.
At present few private laboratories are analyzing the samples for pesticide residues, however the
charges are very high. Hence, it is worth establishing the sophisticated pesticide residue laboratory to
help the farmers to check their produce for pesticide residues on cost basis, before exporting to different
countries. Hence it is very much required to establish such type of laboratory by the Department of
Agriculture, Telangana State.
Therefore the following proposals have been submitted for the establishment of Pesticide Residue
Analysis Laboratory at SAMETI. Oldmalakpet, Hyderabad.
Financial structure
The total cost of establishment of one Pesticide Residue Analysis Laboratory as suggested by
NIPHM, Rajendranagar, for analysis of 1000 samples per annum is Rs. 793.48 lakhs. The details are

2015 - 2016
Executing Department
Department of Agriculture, Govt. of Telangana State will be the executing agency for functioning
of Residual Laboratory.

The main areas of responsibilities of pesticide residue laboratory are

Preparation and monitoring of quarantine regulations for imported and exported agricultural
products, plants and seeds.
Carrying out of quarantine measures.
Expected benefits/outcome:
It is expected that the project will open up opportunities for pesticide residue analyses and support
farmers requirements particularly export oriented crops and produce by analyzing pesticides, pesticide
residues and quarantine products in a scientific and professional manner. Methods applied will be in
accordance with international standards and the laboratories will meet the full demand of the private
and public sector in terms of quantity and quality.
The impact on human health should be significant, as consumers are complaining about
disturbances after the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables obviously treated with chemical pesticides.
Furthermore, trade with other countries and competitiveness of Telangana State, agriculture products
will be facilitated by Residue analyses, which comply with international standards particularly under
WTO regime.
III. Establishment of new State Pesticide Testing Laboratories at Karimnagar and Mahabubnagar.
In Telangana State nearly 4000 samples are drawn and analyzed only in existing two Pesticide
testing Laboratories. In the state there are 57 local and nearly 139 outside pesticide manufacturing
units and 6420 retail pesticide outlets are marketing their pesticides. The pesticides consumption in
Telangana State during 2013-14 is 3811.95 M tons. More number of samples needs to be drawn and
analyzed for improving the quality control of pesticides as more number of units operating. Keeping in
view of the requirement of sophisticated equipment, evolution of new generation of pesticide molecules,
there is every need to establish two more additional pesticides testing laboratories at Karimnagar and
Mahabubnagar where commercial crops are grown and pesticide consumption is more.
The detail project proposal for establishment of two new State Pesticides Testing Labs at
Karimnagar & Mahaboobnagar, with requirement of an amount of Rs.354.00 lakhs is prepared
and submitted to Government of India, Ministry of Agriculture, Department of Agriculture & CoOperation, Krishi Bhavan, New Delhi.

FARM MECHANIZATION
Introduction
Mechanization will help in increasing the productivity and reduce the cost of cultivation. It will
also enable the farmer to complete farming operations in time. Depending on the types of crops grown,
soil conditions, local situations and requirements in the districts, the Department of Agriculture is
contemplating to distribute various farm machinery and implements on subsidy basis.
Objectives :

Efficient utilization of inputs and increase the productivity

Increase in efficiency and timeliness of operations
Reduction in cost of cultivation
Improvement in quality of produce for improving marketing
Reduction in drudgery to farmers
To create employment to rural youth.
Factors accentuating the need for Farm Mechanization:

Increased migration of rural workers to urban areas, increase in cost of farm labour.
Sustainable agricultural productivity.
Over dependence on monsoons.
Need for High Cost Machinery for better turnout in shorter time.

POLAMBADI
2015 - 2016
POLAMBADI
Objective:
The main objective of Polambadi is to reduce the cost of cultivation and increase the productivity
duly empowering the farmers to take economical decisions by adopting practices of Integrated crop
Management.
Integrated Crop Management is an approach to farming which aims to balance production with
economic and environmental considerations by means of a combination of measures including crop
rotation, cultivations, appropriate crop varieties and careful use of inputs.
ICM= INM+ IPM + Agronomic practices including farm mechanization.
The main principles of Polambadi are
Grow a healthy crop
Conserve natural enemies
Conduct regular (weekly)field observations
Farmers understand ecology and become expert in their own field
The Polambadi programme is being done from seed to seed, so that the participants can observe
and analyze the dynamics of crop ecology across the season. Field observations will be done on any
fixed day of the week.
Size of the Polambadi : 10 ha.
No. of Farmers
: 30
Polambadi is in the crop field and study is being done in the field of one of the trainee participant
farmers in about 2 acres. In this field the trainees will conduct simple experiments/validation trials such
as comparison between ICM & Farmers practice, study on plant compensation and make observations
for Agro-ecosystem Analysis in crop etc., and these are usually carried out by the group.
1. The training is fully field oriented, participatory and discovery based i.e., learning by doing.
2. The training aims at teaching science to the farmer in his fields.
3. Training curriculum is based on local needs. What is relevant and meaningful is decided by
the farmers

should inspect the polambadi organizing by AEO in respective mandal.
a.i) Under ISOPOM-Oilseeds NMOOP scheme 760 (Seven hundred and sixty) number of
polmabadi programmes are proposed during the year 2015-16 with a financial allocation of
Rs. 26700/- per FFS under NMOOP and Matching Share @ 75% per FFS Limited to Rs.
3740/- ( 23 acres ) to the FFS under NSP towards inputs (Annexure I).
ii) Further all the JDAs are requested to organize FFS Programme as per the guidelines of
NMOOP under Block Demonstrations and avail the input subsidy pattern provided under the
component of seed treatment, integrated nutrient management and integrated pest management
b. Under NSP 1371 number of Farmer Field Schools are proposed under NSP to cover all
major crops of Telangana i.e., Maize, Paddy, Cotton and Pulses with financial allocation of
Rs.26420/- per FFS in Maize crop, Rs. 21600/- per FFS in Paddy crop,Rs.27760/- per FFS in
Cotton crop and Rs.25450/- per FFS in Pulses. (Anneure II)
One Polambadi in each district irrespective of crop have to be organized solely for women by
the FTC, the funds may be utilized from the concerned scheme. The selected village and crop have to
be informed by the DDA, FTC to the Dist. JDA so as to release the funds from the concerned scheme.

CREDIT
2015 - 2016
AGRICULTURAL CREDIT
Crop Loans:

Agricultural Credit is one of the most crucial inputs in all agricultural development programmes.
For a long time, the major source of agricultural credit was private moneylenders. But this source
of credit was inadequate, highly expensive and exploitative.
To curtail this, a multi-agency approach consisting of cooperatives, commercial banks and
regional rural banks credit has been adopted to provide cheaper, timely and adequate credit to
farmers.
The Agriculture Department will motivate and facilitate the farmers in getting timely agricultural
credit from the banks at lesser interest rate by coordinating with the State Level Bankers
Committee (SLBC).

AGRICULTURAL
EXTENSION
2015 - 2016
AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION
To meet the growing demands of the population for food grains, it is imperative that productivity
has to be enhanced as land is non-expandable resource. Hence continuous trainings to farmers is
essential for enhancing their knowledge and skills to increase the production with low cost technology.
In view of the rapid changes occurring in agriculture sector it is necessary for upgrading and skills,
knowledge of the farming community. The basic objective of the Agriculture Extension being the
transfer of latest agricultural technologies to farmers and thereby increasing their levels of income,
capacity building in agriculture assumes an important role.
Farmers Trainings:
Objectives:

To impart necessary knowledge, new skills and new practices to the farmers in an easily
understandable manner to suit their literacy levels.
To inform the latest technical crop production technology.
To create a favourable attitude in farmers towards modern cultivation and maximizing their
potential by rising awareness levels, pro-change attitude. To build their confidence for better
decision making capability.
Approach and Action Plan:

It is proposed to impart training programmes to the farmers on the latest production technologies
on various crops with the main emphasis on the focus crop.

(drinking, agriculture, industry etc) in a region or a place for sufficiently long period.
Symptoms of Drought

In adequate rainfall Dry spell un equal distribution of rainfall

Water scarcity poor recharge of ground water
Depletion of water resources
Drying up of tanks, wells and reservoirs
Migration of agricultural labour in search of employment
164
2015 - 2016
Criteria followed to asses the Drought affected areas / mandals in the state

Dry spell

Absence of rainfall of 2.5 mm continuously for 21 days during the season

Mild Drought: 21 28 days
Moderate Drought: 29 42 days
Severe Drought: More than 43 days
Drought Preparedness
Establishing close linkage with IMD to disseminate the local specified weather report through
Mandal /Village level Officials to prepare for adverse seasonal conditional well in advance.
Creating awareness among the farmers for application of booster doses of fertilizers for
recovery of crop and soil conservation methods for effective utilization of the available
moisture to save the crop in the drought prone areas.
Various soil moisture conservation methods will be adopted for effective utilization of the
available soil moisture to save the crops in drought prone areas.
The Department will encourage the farmers to have insurance to their crop so that they get
relief in the eventuality of calamity.
Drought Management strategies for Different Situations

Delayed Monsoon.
Rice : In tank fed areas due to late receipt, transplantations get delayed. Aug- 31st will generally be
taken as cut-off date under such situations.
Nitrogen application in nurseries may be avoided when the seedlings are over aged as this
will have adverse effect on yields.
Optimum tillers per unit area, 50 to 60 hillls per mt. sq. may be maintained.
No. of seedlings may also be increased to 4-6 per hill.
Phosphorous, Potash and Zinc should be applied as basal dose for good establishment and
growth.
2/3rd of Nitrogen (40-60 Kg per Ha.) may be applied as basal application, 1/3rd at Panicle
initiation stage.
165
2015 - 2016
Cotton:
Basal application of 1/3rd N, and 1/3rd K may be given along with P so that there will be
good initial vigour.
Frequent inter cultivation to conserve soil moisture and to keep the crop weed free.
Late release of canal water:

Paddy:
Shallow planting 25 days old seedlings @ 4-6 per hill and increasing the plant density from
33-44 hills per sq.m.
Increase Nitrogen level by 50% and its application in three equal splits (basal, 20 DAT, PI)
in case long duration cultivers.
2/3rd basal and 1/3rd at 25 DAT in case late planting of aged seedlings of long duration
varieties.
Application of P, K and Zinc in sufficient quantities at planting is necessary.
Break of Monsoon:
Pulses:
Adopt frequent inter cultivation.
Remove 1/3rd plant population under prolonged dry spells.
Spray urea solution ( 2%) at times of drought.
Oil Seeds:

Immediately on receipt of rains sow graded healthy seed.

Thin the plant population to the minimum to adjust with the available soil moisture.
Conserve soil moisture through frequent inter cultivation.
Spray 1% Urea solution twice at 15 days interval.
Cotton:
Delay the Fertilizer application till sufficient soil moisture is available from rains.
During Drought foliar application of 2% Urea solution 2 or 3 times at 10-15 days interval is
suggested.
Frequent inter cultivation keeps the crop weed free and conserve the soil moisture.
Check sucking pests.
Early with drawl of Monsoon:

Cotton:
Foliar application of Urea may be given thrice to supplement the nutrient availability.
Inter cultivate frequently to keep the crop weed free and to conserve the soil moisture.
Whiteflies, Mites and Aphids may flare up during drought situation. Hence protect the crop
from the damage of these pests with the use of recommended insecticides.
Failure of South West Monsoon:
166
2015 - 2016
Cultivate short duration crops like Blackgram / Greengram / Soyabean to facilitate sequence
crop with Bengalgram or Coriander or Sunhemp or Fodder Jowar during December.
Cyclones and Floods

Heavy rain fall for sufficiently longer periods leads to Floods which causes crop damage.
Floods / Cyclones management strategies for different situations:

Rice
Standing crop (Severely damaged situation)
Erection of the lodged crop by tying in to bundles
Spraying of 5 % Common salt solution on the panicles to prevent sprouting and discoloration
of seed
Prophylactic spraying of 0.06 % Tricyclazole (on green crop) Or 0.1 % Edephenphos on
maturing crop to prevent neck blast
Adopt measures to check Cut worm menace by applying 0.05 % spray of Quinolphos or 0.05
% Chlorpyriphos or 0.07 % Endosulfon or 10 kg per acre Endosulfon dust in the evening
hours
Wherever the crop is completely damaged replanting with short duration varieties can be taken
up by raising nurseries immediately or even with the available aged seedlings of even 45 to 50 days.
The planting should be done on or before 5th September, adequate quantity of Paddy seed will be kept
ready to meet any contingency.
Fertilizer dose of 60:60:40 Kg per Ha of NPK is recommended as Booster dose 50% of the
recommended N and entire P and K should be applied as basal dose before planting 25% N
should be applied 20 days after planting. A final dose of 25% recommended dose N should
be applied at Panicle initiation stage.
Zinc deficiency should also be corrected by spraying of 0.2% Zinc Sulphate solution 2-3
times at 5 days interval.
Gall midge is the foremost pest which occurs generally in the late planted crop for which
granular application of pesticides is recommended at 10 days after planting, leaf folder and
stem borer are the other pests likely to attack the late planted crop at the vegetative stage for
which spraying of Monocrotophos @1.6 ml/Lt or Chlorpyriphos @ 2.0ml/Lt or Quinolphos
@2.0 ml/Lt is recommended.
Diseases like sheath blight may occur. As soon as the lesions are noticed spraying of
Propiconazole @ 1ml/Lt or Hexaconazole @ 2.0 ml/Lt or Validamycin @2.0 ml/Lt may be
advised at an interval of ten days to check the spread of disease.
Partially damaged situation:

Whenever the crop is partially damaged, gap filling with split tillers has to be adopted if the
seedlings are not available for gap filling. Swarna and Chaitanya varieties performs well with
split tiller and they can withstand the submergence for one week and survived with 2-3 tillers.
167
2015 - 2016
A booster dose of 20-25 kgs Urea and 15 kgs of Muriate of Potash (MOP) per acre are
to be applied for rejuvenation of the crop and to promote more tillering immediately after
the receding of water. Nitrogen at panicle initiation stage is to be applied as per normal
recommendation keeping in view of the existing pest situation.
After Cyclone and Floods pest incidence is common. The pests like leaf folder, stem borer,
BPH, cut worm, neck blast and sheath blight are likely to occur. Control measures for leaf
folder, stem borer , sheath blight should be taken as per the situation. For control of BPH
application of Carbofuran 3G granules @ 10 kgs/ Acre, or spraying of Monocrotophos @
2ml/lt is recommended depending upon the stage of crop, for control of Neck blast spraying
of Tricyclazole (Beam) @ 1 gm/Lt is recommended.
Harvested crop :
Delay the harvest whenever cyclone warning is given to prevent germination of seed on
sheaves.
Spraying of salt solution of 5gm/Lt on the sheaves or broadcasting of salt 10-60 kgs/acre on
sheaves.
After the sheaves are dried turn them and dry grains.
If the harvested produce becomes wet to prevent seed sprouting salt should be sprayed at 1
kg/Qtl of Paddy seed along with 4 Kg of Paddy husk so that the color of Paddy will not be
changed.
Paddy heaps should be laid properly with cone shape to facilitate gentle run off of water in
case of heavy rains. The heaps should be laid in the high level patches. Proper surface drain
of water also has to be planned from one plot to another plot to prevent heap submergence.
Proper heap top security measures have to be taken care by keeping weight with stones or
logs at the top of the heap to keep the heap intact when there are heavy gales.
All the grain heaps which are kept in the fields should be moved to safer places this should
be done immediately on hearing the cyclones or flood warning.
The crop on sheaves should be gathered and heaped on hearing the cyclone or flood warning
if they are not collected there will be heavy loss as the sheaves will be washed away.
Nurseries:
If water is sufficiently available for crop season, resow the nurseries or adopt direct sowing or
sprouted seed to save the delay in completely damaged areas.
Completely damaged crop:

Replanting with short/medium duration varieties

Adopt closer spacing and plant 44-55 hills/sq.mt.
If replanting not possible go for direct seeding and
Monitor pests and diseases.
168
2015 - 2016
Selection of Cultivar in Disaster Prone Areas:

Long duration varieties

Thick culm, shorter inter nodal length
Non lodging
Strongly photo-insensitive
Seed dormancy for a month
Select intermediate to semi deep water varieties (water accumulated up to 1 m depth).
In flood prone areas select flood resistant varieties
Management strategies due to Ingression of Sea Water/Tidal Waves:

Rice:
If ingression occurs at maturity stage, the fields need to be drained and sheaves threshed
immediately.
To reclaim saline water ingressed fields, flooding with good quality water and draining /
leaching of salts from the root zone after puddling.
Nurseries should be raised in non saline areas.
Nurseries which are inundated with flood water for a week only should be treated with 50-100
Kg SSP incubated with 200 Kg soil/ha. This should be done in the afternoon after entire dew
is evaporated.
Soon after cyclone the rodent population tends to increase monitor rodents and adopt
community rodent management practices.
Rice Fallow Pulses:

Drain out water as quickly as possible
Foliar spraying of 0.5% Ferrous Sulphate (Annabhedi) 0.05% Citric Acid and 1% Urea on
the standing crop if submerged.
Sowing of the pulse crops can be taken up in the standing rice crop which is to be harvested
using the normal seed rate (16 kg/ac)
Soak the seed in 1% Potassium Nitrate solution for 8 hours before sowing to facilitate normal
germination and early vogour in cool weather conditions.
Alternate crops like Sesamum, Jowar can also be taken up after tillage operation where ever
irrigation facilities are available for 2-3 wettings.
Maize and Jowar can also be taken up insitu sowings wherever irrigation facilities are
available for 2-3 wettings.
Fodder Jowar and Pillipesara may also be grown under the insitu situations.
Groundnut and Bengal Gram:

Prophylactic spraying of 0.1% Carbendazim against leaf spot diseases.
169
2015 - 2016

Foliar spraying of 0.5% Annabhedi and 0.05% Citric Acid to prevent Iron Chlorosis.
Apply Booster doses of 20kg Urea per acre.
In case of inundation of the young crop (10-15 days old) resort to resowing.
In case of Groundnut crop, maturity stage has to be identified early and harvestings have to
be completed.
In fully matured kernels, germination of seed occurs if harvestings are delayed.
Harvested pods have to be dried sufficiently to avoid Aspergillus fungal contamination.
Sugarcane:
Drain out the water immediately
Erection and propping of the canes to provide support.
Remove the crop residue / debris to avoid rat damage.
Adopt community rodent management practices.
Apply booster dose of Nitrogen and Potash for quick recovery
Trench planting to reduce lodging
Earthing-up of the cropped field to keep the plants erect.t
Cotton:

Drain excess water and apply a booster dose of 30 kg N/ha

Open up the soil by inter cultivation as soon as it is possible
For quick evaporation of excess moisture.
Helicoverpa incidence may flare up. Adopt IPM practices.
Nipping of tops in case of excess growth in cotton
Management strategies due to Sand casting:

If sand casting is about or less than 15 cm

Incorporate the same in to the soil by ploughing with mould board or disk plough
If the sand casting is 15-60 cm
Sand may be removed using bulldozers followed by normal cultivation
If sand casting is > 60 cm
No reclamation or removal of sand is suggested
In such situations plant horticultural crops like Cashew nut, Coconut and Casuarina
etc., in situ

RASHTRIYA KRISHI
VIKAS YOJANA
(RKVY)
2015 - 2016
RASHTRIYA KRISHI VIKAS YOJANA (RKVY)

Background:
Government of India launched an additional Central Assistance scheme i.e. Rashtriya Krishi
Vikas Yojana (RKVY) during XI plan period to incentivize states for increasing investments in
Agriculture and Allied Sectors. The RKVY funds would be provided to the States as 50% grant by the
Central Government and 50% by State Government. The Govt. of India has continued the RKVY in
XII five year plan period in a holistic manner to achieve 4% annual growth.
Objectives:
1. To incentivize the states so as to increase public investment in Agriculture and Allied sectors.
2. To provide flexibility and autonomy to the States in the process of planning and executing
programmes for Agriculture and Allied sector schemes.
3. To ensure that the local needs/crops/priorities are better reflected in the agricultural plans of
the states.
4. To achieve the goal of reducing the yield gaps in important crops through focused interventions.
5. To maximize returns to the farmers in Agriculture and allied sectors.
6. To bring about quantifiable changes in the production and productivity of various components
of Agriculture and allied sectors by addressing them in a holistic manner.
Fund Eligibility criteria:

The eligibility for assistance under the scheme would depend upon the amount provided in
State Plan budgets for Agriculture and allied sectors, over and above the base line percentage
expenditure incurred by State Government on Agriculture and allied sectors.
The base line would be a moving average and the average of the previous three years will be
taken into account for determining the eligibility under the RKVY, after excluding the funds
already received.
Funds provision:
The State Government while presenting the Budget for 2015-16 in the Annual Plan has projected
an amount of Rs. 196.264 Crores for RKVY under Central Share. As no funds are placed for State share
as hitherto the RKVY has been the 100 % Central Assistance by the Govt. of India. Due to changeover
of the sharing system i.e, 50:50 Cente and State from the year 2015-16 the Director of Agriculture has
requested the Government of Telangana for providing the corresponding matching grant of Rs.67.83
Crores as State share in the Bes 2015-16 for availing central grants.

As per the BEs the Department of Agriculture has requested the Agriculture & Allied Sectors to
submit the project reports by 02-05-2015 as per the allocations made against them for placing in the
State Level Projects Screening Committee (SLPSC) as detailed below.

& Copper.
As indicated in Guidelines for Use of Micronutrients , Soil Ameliorants and Integrated Nutrient
Management Practices in NFSM States 49.4 % soils are deficient in Zinc, < 1 % Copper deficient, 3
% Iron deficient & 1 % Soils are deficient in Manganese. .
Since Zinc deficiency covers the largest area in the state it is proposed to cover 30000 ha with Zinc
Sulphate application by supplying the same on 50 % subsidy limited to Rs.500/ha with an estimated
cost of Rs 296.52 Lakhs.

NATIONAL MISSION
OILSEEDS & OILPALM
(NMOOP)
2015 - 2016
NATIONAL MISSION ON OILSEEDS & OIL PALM (NMOOP)

Introduction:
The Department of Agriculture & Co operation has been decided to continue the National Mission
On Oilseeds & Oil Palm (NMOOP) Scheme during the year 2015-16 under 12th Plan.
During the last few years, the domestic consumption of edible oils has increased substantially
and has touched the level of 18.90 million tonnes in 2011-12 and is likely to increase further. It is,
therefore, necessary to exploit domestic resources to maximize production to ensure edible oil security
for the country.
Objective;
The NMOOP envisages increase in Production of vegetable oils sourced from Oilseeds, Oilpalm
and TBOs from 7.06 million tonnes (average of 2007-08 to 2011-12) to 9.51 million tonnes by the end
of Twelfth Plan (2016-17). The Mission is proposed to be implemented through three Mini Missions
with specific target as detailed below:
Mini Mission (MM):Target of 12th Plan

1. MM I on Oilseeds: Achieve production of 35.51 million tones and productivity of 1328 kg/
ha of oilseeds from the present average production & productivity of 28.93 million tonnesand
1081 kg/ha during the 11th Plan period respectively. This Scheme will be implemented by
Department of Agriculture.
2. MM II on Oil Palm: Bring additional 1.25 lakh hectare area under oil palm cultivation through
area expansion approach in the States including utilization of wastelands with increase in
productivity of fresh fruit brunches (FFBs) from 4927 kg per ha to 15000 kg per ha. This
Scheme will be implemented by Department of Horticulture.
3. MM III on TBOs : Enhance seed collection of TBOs from 9 lakh tonnesto 14lakh tonnes and
to augment elite planting materials for area expansion under waste land. This Scheme will be
implemented by Department of Forestry.
3. STRATEGY:
To achieve the above objectives, the Mission would adopt following strategies:
Increasing Seed Replacement Ratio (SRR) with focus on Varietal Replacement.
Increasing irrigation coverage under oilseeds from 26% to 36%.
Focus on low productivity and high potential districts
diversification of area from low yielding cereals crops to oilseeds crops.
inter-cropping of oilseeds with cereals/ pulses/sugarcane.
Sowing of Oilseeds in fallow lands after paddy Harvest.
Promotion and extension of improved technologies i.e., Quality seed, integrated nutrient
management (INM) including micronutrients, soil amendments, integrated pest management
(IPM), input use efficiency and resource conservation technologies along with capacity
building of the farmers/extension functionaries.
209
2015 - 2016
Integration of various proposed interventions and targets with the district plan of each
identified district.
Constant monitoring and concurrent evaluation by the implementing agencies for assessing
the impact of the interventions for a result oriented approach.
The scheme would be implemented in a mission mode through active involvement of all the
stakeholders.
Close monitoring of flow of funds to ensure that benefit of the Mission reaches the targeted
beneficiaries in time to achieve the intended results.
Funding Pattern : 50:50 (Central:State)

Area of operation: The NMOOP-Oil seeds scheme will be Implemented in all 9 districts in
the State.
Action Plan of NMOOP-Oilseeds for 2015-16: The crop wise plan proposed under MM-I

The Component wise details proposed under MM-I Oilseeds of NMOOP are furnished in
Annexure for Telangana State.
Programme for 2015-16:

The Components under MM-I on Oilseeds will be classified broadly in three categories
namely Seed Components, Production Components and Transfer of Technology. The Scheme is to be
implemented with the following components during 2015-16.
I. Seed component: 30 % of the total budget was proposed for implementation of the Seed
component i.e for Purchase of Breeder seed, production of foundation and certified seeds and
Distribution of Certified seed. The agencies like NSC, TSSDC, HACA, T.S.MARKFED and TS
OILFED shall prepare a Five Year Seed Plan indicating requirement of breeder seed , production of
foundation and certified seeds for each year and ensure their proper multiplication and distribution.
A. Purchase of Breeder seed :

Lifting of breeder seed of varieties by indenting agencies and its supply to them by producing
agencies will strictly in accordance with the allocation made by Govt. of India. In order to ensure
availability of quality seed to farmers, it is necessary to maintain the seed chain by taking up seed
multiplication from Breeder seed to Foundation and Foundation to Certified seed.
210
2015 - 2016
During 2015-16, 175 Qtls of Purchase of Breeder Seed is proposed for seed multiplication from
Breeder seed to Foundation and Foundation to Certified seed. New Varieties like KadiriHarithandra,
ICGV 00350, ICGV 91114, Narayani, Kadiri-9, are proposed for production of Breeder Seed as per
the indent placed by the Multiplication agencies from the Research Institutions.
B. Production of Foundation &Certified seed production :

In order to make available sufficient quantities of foundation seed , in addition to TSSDC, HACA,
TS.MARKFED & TS OILFED, the dist. Joint Directors of Agriculture shall plan for production of
foundation seed in the identified areas with assured/supportive irrigation facilities during Kharif 2015
preferably in the departmental seed farms and under Seed Village Programmme scheme.
During 2015-16, 500 Qtls of Foundation seed and 1200 Qtls of Certified seed are proposed
for taking up seed multiplication with the recently released Varieties like KadiriHarithandra, ICGV
00350, ICGV 91114, Narayani, Kadiri-9 in Groundnut and JS-93-05,JS-9560, in Soybean with an
subsidyassistance of Rs. 1000 /- per quintal for all recently released varieties is provided to organize
production of foundation & Certified seed.
C. Distribution of Certified seed on subsidy :

During 2015-16, it is proposed to distribute Certified seed of groundnut (4000 Qtls), soybean
(22500 Qtls), seed on 50% subsidy limited to Rs. 1200/- per qtl for varieties not older than 10 yrs .The
following crop wise varieties are proposed which are latest released varieties / Hybrids not older than
10 years for production & distribution of seed during 2015-16.

II. Production Inputs:

E. P.P. Equipment :
Distribution of P.P. equipment (Manually operated Knap Sack sprayer) is proposed @ 50 % of
the cost or Rs. 800 /- per equipment which ever is less for manually operated only.
Distribution of Knap Sack and Taiwan power sprayers (capacity above 16 lts)) is proposed @
50 % of the cost or Rs. 10000 /- per equipment which ever is less for power operated only.
An amount of Rs 53.6 lakhs has been proposed for distribution of 1100 PP Equipments on
subsidy to control any out break of pests and diseases during 2015-16.
F. Plant Protection chemicals:

One of the major limiting factors in crop production of Oilseeds is incidence of Pest and diseases.
It is proposed to supply PP Chemicals, Insecticides, Fungicides, & bio pesticides tocover an area of
4500 ha with an estimated cost of Rs 22.50 lakhs to control any out break of pests and diseases above
ETL during 2015-16.
G. Weedicides:
Weed control in early stages of crop is very important for effective use of soil nutrients by the
crop. It is proposed to cover an area of 4500 ha with an estimated cost of Rs 22.50 lakhs .
H. Supply of Micronutrients:
The micronutrients essential for plant growth are Zinc, Boron, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum
&Copper.Since 40% of soils are deficient in Zinc in the state. It is proposed to cover 4500 ha with Zinc
212
2015 - 2016
Sulphate application by supplying the same on 50 % subsidy limited to Rs.500/ha with an estimated
cost of Rs 22.50 Lakhs for correction of micronutrient deficiencies either by foliar spray or basal soil
application.
I. Distribution of Gypsum:
Gypsum is the cheapest source of important secondary nutrients particularly Sulphur. Its
application is known to increase both production and oil content in oilseed crops . Gypsum application
requires special attention and thrust because farmers are using mostly non Sulphur containing fertilizers
like DAP and mixtures. High transport costs are stated to be one of the constraints in making available
gypsum to farmers .It is proposed to cover 3000 ha with an estimated cost of Rs 22.50 Lakhswith
Gypsum application by supplying the same on 50 % of cost of material + transportation charges
limited to Rs. 750/- per Ha.
J. Rhizobium Culture/PSB:
Rhizobium culture is one of the cheapest input in increasing production of leguminous crops
.Treatment of seed with culture helps in fixation of atmospheric Nitrogen through its symbiotic
activity. The treatment is particularly beneficial in areas where crops are newly introduced. P.S.B. has
a capacity to release Phosphorus and has been recommended as one of the low cost inputs for all crops.
It helps to reduce nearly 20 % of phosphatic fertilizer input to crops .The response to PSB is very good
in acidic soils.
It is proposed to cover an area of 740 Ha with an estimated cost of Rs 2.20 Lakhs .The subsidy
is limited to 50 % cost or Rs. 300 per Ha which ever is less will be supplied through ANGRAU and
Departmental Labs only.
k. Supply of Improved Tractor driven Farm Implements;

a) Tractor drawn Farm Implements like Groundnut digger, Multi crop planter, Power weeder,
Rotovators etc. It is proposed to provide 50 units with an estimated cost of Rs 25.00 Lakhs with
financial assistance for supply ofFarm Implements@ 50% of the cost limited to Rs.50000 per
implement , which ever is less.
L. Micro Irrigation Systems:

Supply of Sprinklers Irrigation Systems:
Micro irrigation is one of the most important tools in modern agriculture for efficient use of
water resources. Use of Sprinkler Irrigation system, even at most conservative estimates, can improve
water use efficiency by 40%. In Telangana, Oilseeds are grown mostly under rain-fed conditions which
results in exposing of crops to moisture stress at critical crop growth stages thereby reduction of yields.
1 or 2 life saving irrigations at critical crop growth period is very effective in increasing the Oilseeds
yield. To bring more area of Oilseeds under assured conditions, it is proposed to supply 2000 Ha with
an estimated cost of Rs 196.00 Lakhs sprinkler units on 50% subsidy limiting to Rs. 9800/- per Set per
Ha .
213
2015 - 2016
Support will be provided to the Oilseed growers for Sprinkler subsidy as per the norms under the
National Mission for sustainable Agriculture(NMSA) as detailed below.
a) 35% of the total cost of installation for small & marginal farmers and 25% of actual cost of
installation for others in non-DPAP/DDP.
b) 50% of the actual cost of installation for small & marginal farmers and 35% of actual cost of
installation for others in DPAP/DDP.
Estimated cost of installation of Portable Sprinkler Irrigation System is Rs. 19600/-Ha. Maximum
permissible assistance will be as per length of pipe and restricted to 5ha per beneficiary/group.
M) Water Carrying Pipes:

It is proposed to supply 1000 sets of Water carrying pipes with an estimated cost of Rs 150.00
Lakhs for carrying water from water source to the field with an assistance of 50% cost or Rs.15000
/- which ever is less is eligible up to 600 meters and all types of pipes i.e PVC , HDPE etc and all sizes .
N) Seed Treatment drums:

It is proposed to supply 250 Nos of seed treatment drums to the farmers to encourage seed
treatment in Oilseed crops with an assistance of 50% cost limited to limited to Rs.2000 /- per drum of
40 Kg capacity with an estimated cost of Rs 5.00 Lakhs .
III. Transfer of Technology programmes:

O). Block Demonstrations of Improved Technologies:
Block Demonstrations: 10 % of the total budget was proposed for implementation of the Block
demonstrations. Block demonstrations should be organized in Cluster mode with a continuous area
of 50 ha in a village/ villages//block except hilly regions where the cluster size should not be less
than 10Ha each. Demonstration of improved package of practices including intercropping / improved
varieties and it is proposed to cover an area of 1700 ha by organizing 30 demonstrations at a cost of Rs.
84.50 lakhs.One demonstration will be allowed to one farmer with a ceiling of one Ha under each crop.
To conduct block demonstrations, assistance will be given to meet the expenses/cost of critical
inputs like seed, seed treatment, micronutrients, organic/bio agents, organic/bio fertilizers, eco friendly
light traps (NCIPM model) etc, at the rate, as proposed in the table below:

The following interventions are proposed under Cluster Demonstrations:

a) Distribution of Certified Seeds: Newly released Varieties less than 10 years:
The subsidy rate is Rs.1200/- per qtls,. The seed of Groundnut, Soybean, Sunflower, Castor,
Safflower, Niger will be distributed.
b) Seed treatment:
Seed treatment with Imidachloprid @ 2 ml / kg seed followed by Mancozeb @ 3 gm / kg seed.
Trichodermaviride seed treatment @ 4 g/kg seed for root rot prone areas
Rhizobium inoculation for groundnut in non-traditional areas to increase the population of
nitrogen fixing bacteria.
c) Weedicides
Preplanting application of Fluchloralin @ 2.5 to 3.0 l./ha.Pre-emergence application of
Butachlor /Metalachlore/ Pendimethalin @ 2.5 to 3.0 l./ ha. orOxyflourfen 1.5 to 2.0 l./ha
followed by one intercultivation and one hand weeding will effectively control the weeds.
Wherever, pre-emergence herbicides could not be applied, weeds can be controlled by postemergence herbicides by spraying Imazethaphyr @ 750 ml/ha or Quizalofop ethyl @ 1.0 l/ha
at 20 DAS, i.e; when the weeds are at 2 leaves stage.
d) Integrated Nutrient Management:

NPK recommendations should be on soil test basisApply 20N + 40 P2O5 + 50 K2O kg/ha as
basal .
Phosphorus should be applied through single super phosphate.
Apply Gypsum @ 500 kg /ha at flowering stage by placement.
i) Micronutrients:
Wherever Zinc deficiency is observed, application of Zinc sulphate 50 kg/ha. once in 3
seasons.
Wherever Iron deficiency is noticed on crop, spray 0.5 % ferrous sulphate along with 0. 1 %
citric acid two times with one week interval.
e) Integrated Pest Management (IPM):

a) IPM Package :Insects and diseases attack is one of major threat in Oilseeds production. IPM is
one of the tools for effective control of pests and diseases. IPM measures such as pheromone
traps, light traps, bio-agents and bio pesticides can be adopted under this programme.
215
2015 - 2016
b) Organic/Bio-agents: It is proposed to supply bio-agents (Trichodermaviridie for seed

treatment, Pheramone traps, lures, Tricho cards, & Bio-pesticide like Neem oil during 201415.
c) Organic/Bio fertilizers: Rizobium culture/Phosphate Solublizing Bacteria distribution
It is proposed to supply @ Rs. 300/- per ha & will be supplied through ANGRAU and
Departmental Labs only.
P) Farmer Field Schools:

The Department of Agriculture of the State Governments will organize Farmers Field School
(FFS) of various oilseed crops to impart training on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies to
the farmers on farmer facilitators field so that a large number of farmers can see live demonstration of
IPM and various other technologies. FFS is a season long programme to impart training to the farmers
on one pre-determined/fixed day in a week throughout the season in various aspects of production &
protection technologies.
Farmer Field school will be organized with 30 farmers in 10 ha of area with a financial provision
of Rs.26,700/-. The resource persons for training the farmers will be from the PJTSAU, DAATT
Centre scientists. The district wise targets and guidelines will be communicated by the Polambadi Cell.

2015 - 2016
Guidelines of the programme:

The scheme aims at operationalizing agricultural extension reforms across the country. Funding
support is provided to the State for undertaking extension reforms within the broad purview of the
Policy Framework for Agriculture Extension (PFAE), complying with its key areas/norms and shall be
based on Extension Work Plans prepared by the State. Funds shall be released to the States based on
their Extension Work plans developed within the broad framework of the PFAE and areas indicated
under the reform oriented activities. The Stateshave the responsibility of implementing the extension
reforms at district level.
ATMA is a district level autonomous institution having membership of all key stakeholders
involved in agricultural activities. It has the flexibility to receive funds directly (Government of India/
States, Membership fees, beneficiaries contribution etc).It has the key responsibility of disseminating
all technology activities at the district level. It has linkages with all the line departments, research
organizations, non-governmental organizations and agencies associated with agricultural development
in the district and farmer organizations. Research and extension units within the district, such as
KVKs, ZRSs, Department of Agriculture, Horticulture, Animal Husbandry, Fisheries, Sericulture,
Marketing, etc. are its constituent members.
ATMA is supported by a Governing Board (GB) and a Management Committee (MC). Block
level Farm Information and Advisory Centers (FIACs) have been created which are operated by a
Block Technology Team (BTT) of technical advisors and a Farmer Advisory Committee (FAC), a
group exclusively of farmers. Commodity oriented Farmer Interest Groups (FIGs) are being promoted
at block / village level to make the technology generation / dissemination farmer driven and farmer
accountable. In order to provide needed HRD support in innovative areas of extension delivery, a State
Agricultural Management and Extension Training Institute (SAMETI)has also been established in the
project states.
To overcome the systemic constraints being faced by the Extension system in the Country ,
Government of India has revised the on going ATMA scheme guidelines w.e.f 1-4-2010.
The revised ATMA guidelines of 2010, 2014 contains additional / new activities and enhanced
costs in some cases. The Important / new components are as follows.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Specialist & Functionary support at State level , District & Block level
Innovative support through a Farmer Friend at Village level
Support to SAMETIs for creating Essential Infrastructure
Delegation of Powers to State Level Sanctioning Committees
Innovative Technology Dissemination Component
The GOI has given provision to the State for placement of 354 posts at various levels in the
revised guidelines. So far GOAP has given permission for placement of 354 posts and the placements
of total sanctioned posts are completed at various levels.
234
2015 - 2016
Strategic Research and Extension Plan (SREP):

One of the first tasks of ATMA is to facilitation of the preparation of Strategic Research and
Extension Plan (SREP) of the district. The SREP is prepared through participatory methodologies
such as Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) involving all the stakeholders and farmers. The SREP
contains detailed analysis of all the information on existing farming systems in the district and research
extension gaps required to be filled-up. It also prioritizes the research extension strategies within
the district. It becomes the basis for development of work plans at block/ district level. All the (9)
ATMA districts have developed their respective of Strategic Research and Extension Plans. As the
validity of SREPs is five years, the State has already initiated the revisiting of the SREPs.
State Extension Work Plan (SEWP):

Based on the research-extension strategies given in the SREPs, Block / district level plans for
the year 2015-16 has to be developed by all the (9) ATMA districts as per the revised ATMA scheme
guidelines and cost norms. And State nodal Cell has consolidated District Action Plan developed under
the Scheme should be processed consistent with Article 243 ZD of the Constitution.
The Component-wise, Category-wise Physical and Financial proposals are Annexued.
Cafeteria of Activities :
The Cafeteria includes cost norms and ceilings applicable for each activity. Under the Cafeteria,
activities to be undertaken at State and District level are categorized separately. The state level activities
include support for upgrading state level training institutions such as SAMETI, HRD of extension
functionaries, organization of state level Exhibitions and Monitoring and Evaluation of the Scheme.
The district level activities are further categorized in four groups namely, farmer oriented activities,
farm information dissemination, research-extension-farmer (R-E-F) linkages and administrative
expenses. Farmer oriented activities include development of SREP, mobilization of farmer groups,
training/ exposure visit of farmers, field demonstrations, all aimed at empowering the farmers and
improving their participation in technology dissemination process. Under the category farm information
dissemination, local level agricultural exhibitions, information dissemination through printed materials
and development of technology packages in electronic form are covered. The R-E-F linkages based
activities include organization of Farmer-Scientist Interaction at local level, organization of Fielddays and KisanGoshties and support for local level researchable issues emanated from the SREP. The
administrative expenses under district level activities provide support for running ATMA and block
level Farm Information and Advisory Centers. The sum total of all activities specified in the cafeteria is
more than the funds likely to be available for State/district level activities. States will have to prioritize
their proposed activities based on gaps identified in the SREP.
Source of funds:
The resources required for the scheme shall be shared between centre and the state in the ratio of
50:50. As per the modified guidelines of 2015-16.
235
2015 - 2016
Monitoring and Evaluation :

Project activities at district level shall be monitored by the ATMA Governing Board at periodic
intervals. At State level, the project shall be monitored through a mechanism similar to those existing
in ATMA, i.e., an Inter Departmental Working Group (IDWG) functioning under Chairmanship of
Principal Secretary (Agriculture) of the state.The monitoring mechanisms shall include quarterly reports,
field inspections, workshops, etc. The Cafeteria specifically provides for third party Monitoring and
Evaluation to be organized as a state level activity. The DAC will also organize concurrent Monitoring
and Evaluation, including impact evaluation, as needed as part of its scheme Extension Support to
Central Institutions.
Important additional guidelines for implementation of the Scheme :

KVK should be an active partner to operationalize the ATMA model. There should be no
duplication between the activities of KVKs and extension activities to be taken up under
the scheme. ICAR should ensure that research priorities of KVK are fully aligned with and
sensitive to SREPs at the District level.
Macro Management programmes and Centre/State sponsored schemes for agriculture and
allied sectors should be integrated with the activities of ATMA by creating desired linkages
for effective convergence and delivery.
Base line surveys should be undertaken in each ATMA District against which the scheme
impact should be evaluated. Baseline survey should be made an integral part of the Strategic
Research and Extension Plan (SREP) process. Adequate funds would be provided to ATMAs
for baseline surveys.
The States may consider associating Panchayati Raj Institutions at all levels of institutional
framework under the Scheme.
The Secretary of Department of Panchayati Raj of the State Government should be included
as a member of IDWG.
ATMA should propagate only economically viable and proven technologies since it aims to
help resource poor families.
ATMA should be part of an integrated extension system consisting of farm schools in the field
of farmers, KVKs, agri-clinics and agri-business centres.
The ultimate aim of ATMA should be to make small farmers credit worthy (without collateral).

Sub mission on Agricultural Mechanization: (SMAM)

1.0 Introduction
(i) Agricultural land area in the world has limit, but the demand for foodis ever increasing due
to population growth. To increase productivityin the limited land so as to meet the expanding
demand arising frompopulation growth as well as higher income is very importantmission.
(ii) The task assumes greater importance to India, than the rest of theworld considering that India
accounts for 2.4% of the worldsgeographical area and 4% of its water resources, but has to
support17% of the worlds human population and 15% of the livestock.
(iii) To increase productivity, timely and precise field work is necessary.To make it possible,
agricultural machines take an important role.
(iv) Among the states, farm power availability in Punjab, Haryana,Western Uttar Pradesh
and western part of Rajasthan is higher thanthe National average of 1.73kW/ha. In rest
of the country, especiallyin Eastern and North-East Regions, it is significantly lower
whichnecessities promotion of farm mechanization as a special Mission.
(v) Sub Mission on Agricultural Mechanization (SMAM) will beimplemented in accordance
with guidelines described hereunder.
(vi) The scheme will be implemented in all the states, to promote theusage of farm mechanization
and increase the ratio of farm power tocultivable unit area up to 2 kW/ha.
(vii) SMAM will have Central Sector Schemes under component No.1 & 2.Centrally Sponsored
Schemes are covered under component No. 3 to8 in which Government of India contributes
75% and statescontribute 25%.
2.0 Mission Objectives

The Mission objectives are as follows:
(i) Increasing the reach of farm mechanization to small and marginalfarmers and to the regions
where availability of farm power is low;
(ii) Promoting Custom Hiring Centres to offset the adverse economies ofscale arising due to
small landholding and high cost of individualownership;
(iii) Creating hubs for hi-tech & high value farm equipments;
(iv) Creating awareness among stakeholders through demonstration andcapacity building
activities;
(v) Ensuring performance testing and certification at designated testingcenters located all over
the country.
3.0 Mission Strategy

To achieve the above objectives, the Mission will adopt the followingstrategies:
(i) Conduct performance testing for various farm machineries andequipments at the four
Farm Machinery Training and TestingInstitutes (FMTTIs), designated State Agricultural
Universities (SAUs)and ICAR institutions;
239
2015 - 2016
(ii) Promote farm mechanization among stakeholders by way of on-fieldand off-field training
and demonstrations.
(iii) Provide financial assistance to farmers for procurement of farmmachinery and implements

Sub mission on Seed and Planting Material: (SMSP)

The main objective of SMSP is to increase the production of Certified/Quality seed and making
them to farmers.
The Sub-mission is proposed to be implemented through different interventions which are as
follows:
I.SEED VILLAGE PROGRAMME:

The Seed Village Programme ensures supply of quality seed of notified varieties to the farmers
in time at their places at affordable prices besides ensuring quick multiplication of new seed varieties
in a shorter time in that mandal /district based on the crop situation.
The number of farmers for a unit of 10 ha may be a minimum of 25 to a maximum of 150.
The following incentives will be provided to farmers under this scheme as per GOI norms.
Supply of Foundation seed on 50% subsidy for cereals and 60% subsidy for Pulses and
oilseeds.
Trainings: Three (3) one day trainings (Pre-season, Mid-season and at harvest) will be
conducted to the farmers on seed production technology.
II.CERTIFIED SEED PRODUCTION THROUGH SEED VILLAGES:

The production of certified seeds in case of Pulses, Oilseeds is low compared to the demand,
and its seed production needs to be encouraged to improve SRR of these crops. Similarly production
of green manuring crop seeds is included in soil health management and fodder seed in the interest of
animal husbandry. Therefore to encourage production of quality certified seeds of these crops, this
scheme is proposed.
The following incentives will be provided to farmers under this programme as per GOI norms.
1 Production of seeds: 75% financial assistance will be provided for distribution of foundation/
certified seeds in 1 acre per farmer for pulses, oilseeds and fodder/green manure crops.
2 Seed certification charges: Financial assistance @50% of seed certification actual Charges to
a maximum limit of Rs.600/ha. (Rs.0.60 lakh for 100ha. area) will be provided.
3 Farmers Trainings: Financial assistance @ Rs.15000 per group (of 50-150 farmers each
groups) for three one day farmers training on seed production and post harvest seed technology
will be provided.
4 Seed processing and seed storage godowns: Assistance to establish seed processing and
prefabricated or other type of seed storage godowns of 150 sqm. capacity @ Rs.10000 per
sqm. to process and store 200 Mt capacity will be made available for each seed village
5 Financial assistance of Rs.7.56 lakh will be provided for seed processing machinery and
supporting equipments.
JUSTIFICATION:
A. SEED VILLAGE PROGRAMME
Under Seed Village Programme Foundation Seed is supplied to the farmers on subsidy for
production of quality seed at affordable prices. This is one of the best ways of helping the
245
2015 - 2016
farmers to produce quality seed and supply to the neighbouring farmers at affordable prices
which will increase the production and productivity and improves the economic growth of the
farmer. Training is imparted for the SVP farmers in three spells i.e., Pre-seasonal/Seasonal/
Post-harvest so that farmers get acquainted with seed production and post harvest technology
for production of quality seed.
By supplying Foundation seed to the farmers at affordable prices more area can be brought
under seed production. The farmers will be able to produce their own quality seed and get
remunerative price by marketing the quality seed to the neighbouring farmers. Further the
quality seed is available to the farmers at their door steps on time.
The quality seed produced under Seed Village Programme will create more demand as the
source of the seed is known and the farmers have confidence in the quality of the seed, as the
seed is produced in their villages and under the supervision of the departmental officials.
State Seed Farms are the main source of foundation seed supply under Seed Village
Programme, which needs to be transported on time to the villages where the programme
is being implemented. Hence, for arranging transport of foundation seed to the farmers,
provision for meeting the transportation charges is made from the normal state plan budget as
there is no provision under SMSP.
B. CERTIFIED SEED PRODUCTION THROUGH SEED VILLAGES:

The production of certified seeds in case of Pulses, Oilseeds is low compared to the demand,
and its seed production needs to be encouraged to improve SRR of these crops.
The area under oilseeds and pulses in Telangana is increasing year after year and there is
heavy demand for the supply of quality certified seeds of oilseeds and pulses particularly
Soybean, Redgram, Greengram and Blackgram.
To reduce the cost of cultivation and managing the health of soil there is heavy demand for
green manure crop seed in Rice based cropping system, therefore there is every need for
production and supply of certified green manuring seed.
To encourage integrated farming particularly for the small and marginal farmers and to cater
the need of fodder crop needed for the animal husbandry, therefore it is proposed to take up
certified seed production of fodder crops.
To encourage quality certified seed production, farmers should be given incentives like supply
of foundation/certified seeds on subsidy providing seed certification charges and required
trainings beside provision of seed processing plants and seed godowns.
The seed thus produced will have so many impurities like stones, weeds, trash, other crop
seeds etc. Therefore, it needs cleaning to convert quality seed from the raw produced in the
field. Hence, providing Seed Processing machinery for carrying out the said operations is
very much essential.

fertilizers by 20%.
The productivity of selected crops is expected to increase about 20%.
The demand for organic sources of plant nutrient like bio-fertilizers, organic manure, vermicompost, slow release nitrogenous fertilizer like Neem/sulphur coated urea will increase,
which in turn improve the soil fertility as well nutrient use efficiency.
Guidelines for implementation of Soil Health Card scheme:

In irrigated area one sample at 2.5 ha grid for marginal and small holdings, one sample each
holding for semi-medium, medium & large holdings. In rainfed area one sample at 10 ha grid
for marginal, small, semi-medium & medium holdings, one sample each holding for large
holding .
Soil samples should be processed following standard procedures and analyzed for various
parameters namely pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon (OC), and available P,
K, S and micronutrients.
Soil health card is field-specific detailed report of soil fertility status and other important soil
parameters that affect crop productivity. Besides, soil health, it also provides an advisory on
soil test based use of fertilizers and amendments.

D) Rainfed Area Development (RAD)

1. Introduction:
1.1 Rainfed areas assume special significance in terms of ecology, agricultural productivity
and livelihood for millions of rural households in India. These areas not only constitute about threefourth of the land mass under arid, semi-arid, and dry-humid zones. Rainfed agriculture is complex,
diverse and risk-prone activity. However, Rainfed areas if managed properly have the potential to
contribute a larger share in the food grain production. These high potential rainfed areas provide us
with opportunities for faster agricultural growth compared to irrigated areas.
1.2 Holistic agriculture development through Integrated Farming System (IFS) provides an
opportunity for development and integration of multiple components of agricultural system such as
crops, horticulture, agro-forestry with agro-based income generating activities and value addition. The
basic premise of the proposed programme is to encourage exploitation of the potential of different
farming systems based upon the natural resource assets/endowments (ponds, land development,
nursery etc) created by the farmers.
This will act as a catalyst to accomplish the ultimate objective of enhanced productivity,
minimizing the risk of crop losses due to uncertainties of weather conditions, harnessing efficiency
of resources, assuring food and livelihood / income security at farm level and strengthen the farmers
capacity to adapt to climatic changes.
2. Objectives
2.1 To make agriculture more productive, sustainable, remunerative and climate resilient by
promoting location specific Integrated/Composite Farming Systems.
2.2 To conserve natural resources through appropriate soil and moisture conservation measures.
2.3 To optimize utilization of water resources through efficient water management to expand
coverage for achieving more crop per drop.
2.4 To develop capacity of farmers & stakeholders, in conjunction with other ongoing Missions

e.g. National Mission on Agriculture Extension & Technology, National Food Security
Mission, National Initiative for Climate Resilient Agriculture(NICRA) etc., in the domain
of climate change adaptation and mitigation measures.
2.5 To pilot models in select blocks for improving productivity of rainfed farming by
mainstreaming rainfed technologies refined through NICRA and by leveraging resources
from other schemes/Missions like Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee
Scheme (MGNREGS), Integrated Watershed Management Programme (IWMP), RKVY
etc.
3. Strategy
To achieve these objectives, RAD will have following multi-pronged strategy:
3.1 Promoting integrated farming system covering crops, livestock & fishery, plantation and
pasture based composite farming for enhancing livelihood opportunities, ensuring food
256
2015 - 2016
security and minimizing risks from crop failure through supplementary/ residual production
systems.
3.2 Popularizing resource conservation technologies (both on-farm and off-farm) and
introducing practices that will support mitigation efforts in times of extreme climatic
events or disasters like prolonged dry spells, floods etc.
An Illustrated Approach for Planning RAD component under NMSA:

(i) RAD aims at promoting integrated farming system(IFS) with emphasis on multi-cropping,
rotational cropping, inter-cropping, mixed-cropping practices with allied activities like
horticulture, livestock, fishery, agro-forestry, apiculture etc. to enable farmers not only in
maximizing the farm returns for sustaining livelihood, but also to mitigate the impacts of drought,
flood or other extreme weather events.
(ii) Depending on the type and extent of natural resources/assets/commodities already developed or
supported, location-specific crops, fruits, vegetables, spices, flowers, feed & fodder, livestock,
fisheries, apiculture, mushroom, medicinal & aromatic plantation and related income generating
activities would be supported. Activities like construction of ponds, land treatment, wells, supply
of pumps etc. would be converged/ supplemented to promote value addition through a sustainable
farming system;
(iii) Adoption of a cluster approach in a village or an area of not less than 100 Ha (contiguous or
non-contiguous in difficult terrain with close proximity, in a village/ adjoining villages) may be
preferred for injecting investments to utilize the potential of available/created common resources.
(iv) Selected clusters will have soil analysis/soil health card as mandatory and at least 25% of the
farming system area will have to be covered under On Farm Water Management.
(v) Farmers would have the option to choose one or combination of farming systems suitable to the
specific eco-system supported through local KVK, SAU, ICAR Centre, ICRISAT, ATMA etc.,
for maximizing agricultural productivity from the existing natural resource assets.
(vi) Support to each farm family under RAD component will be restricted to a farm size of 2 Ha
and financial assistance will be limited to Rs.1 lakh. However, construction/ renovation of farm
ponds, storage/processing unit and/or construction of poly house etc., are excluded from these
limits.
(vii) Farmland development through location specific interventions e.g. resource conservation,
rainwater harvesting, land development in river valley project and flood prone river areas,
last mile connectivity etc. Farmers Companies, Farmers Producer Companies/Organizations,
Registered Farmers Societies, Farmers Cooperatives would also be eligible for developing a
cluster. The support for the activities would be restricted to the eligible limits for members.
(viii) Converging the upgraded utilities developed through watershed development programmes/
NREGA in terms of water harvesting and micro water storages through effective application
and distribution systems like improved conveyance, field channels, pressurized irrigation, water
lifting devices etc. to enhance the potential of farming systems.
(ix) The farmers producer companies may be set up to grow organic products. These farmers can
come from a group of villages, preferably contiguous, forming a cluster and should be supported
to achieve organic certification over a period of three years. These producer companies should be
given financial support as per provisions for FPOs and subsidies for eligible components under
257
2015 - 2016
NMSA for marketing of the organic product so that it fetches better prices and encourages others
to take up organic farming. Marketing Federations existing at the state level should enter into
agreement with the producer companies to market their organic product in the niche markets.
(x) Resource Conservation Technologies (RCT) and rainwater harvesting have been kept under
the basket of eligible activities of RAD to fulfill specific requirement of farmers/localities to
supplement the works undertaken under National Watershed Development Programme for
Rainfed Areas (NWDPRA) and Soil Conservation in the Catchments of River valley Projects
& Flood Prone Rivers (RVP&FPR) which have not been developed to their full potential due to
limitation of resources and in some cases not completed due to discontinuation of funding.

RCT activities will not be taken up in any developed/ongoing/proposed IWMP watershed project
areas unless specifically recommended by the State Level Nodal Agency of IWMP.
(xi) Reclamation of problem soils (Acidic/alkaline/saline) through appropriate soil amendments, land
development including biodrainage, on-farm water management including secondary storage as
may be required in the cluster, may be proposed under RAD Component adopting the norms and
specifications given under SHM /OFWM components.
(xii) Convergence of relevant developmental programmes in project areas to be ensured for optimal
utilization of resources by establishing an integrated and coordinated system involving different
sectors and institutions. The upgraded utilities developed through watershed development
programmes/MGNREGA in terms of water harvesting and micro water storages can be made
use through effective application and distribution systems like improved conveyance, field
channels, pressurized irrigation, water lifting devices etc. to enhance the potential of farming
systems. Areas/Commodities developed/being developed under National Food Security
Mission (NFSM), National Mission on Oilseed & Oil Palm (NMOOP), Mission for Integrated
Development of Horticulture (MIDH), National Livestock Mission (NLM) can be supplemented
with other productions systems from NMSA to make it an Integrated Farming System facilitating
additional livelihood opportunities to farmers. Similarly the interventions of National Mission
for Agriculture Extension & Technology (NMAET) to appropriately made use for capacity
building, awareness generation, information support, farm mechanization, availability of seeds/
planting materials etc.
(xiii) Suitable linkage for agro-processing and Marketing may be established for the cluster. Possibilities
of building post harvest and market linkage under PPP model may be explored. Funds from
schemes like NADP, National Mission for Food Processing may be dovetailed for this purpose.
4. Area of operation:
4.1 All the rainfed areas (i.e. areas which are not covered under assured means of irrigation) having
large extent of cultivable land and potential for increasing agriculture productivity are covered
under RADP. Within the rainfed areas, priority will be given to arid, semi-arid and sub-humid
eco-systems.
4.2 Implementation of the identified IFS activities is proposed to be undertaken in the following
areas:

a) All the rainfed areas (i.e. areas which are not covered under assured means of irrigation)

b) Areas where water resources have been developed under MNREGA Schemes or any other
programmes/schemes
258
2015 - 2016

c) Areas where some commodities are being promoted through NFSM,.
d) New areas having potential for farming systems development.
5. Project management and approval:

5.1 State Agriculture Department, will be implementing RAD under NMSA. A project for all eligible
districts or District-wise will be prepared and taken up for consideration and approval by State
Standing Technical Committee (SSTC).
5.3 The project proposals include consolidated Detailed Action Plans (DAP) for a cluster of villages
based on survey of farm holdings, existing farming practices, farm & family size, soil & nutrient
characteristics, level of farm inputs, availability of water & farm power etc. to identify suitable
farming system based interventions.
5.4 DAPs should include all the villages under the watershed or cluster of micro watersheds. KVKs,
SAUs, ICAR Centres and other scientific and research organizations located in these districts
may be associated for scientific/technical support. Selection of beneficiaries should be made in
consultation with local Panchayats/Village Committees. In treated/ongoing watersheds where
the Watershed Committees, SHGs/UGs are functional, these institutions/groups need to be
associated in selection of beneficiaries as well as implementation of the interventions.
6. Programme Interventions:
6.1 All interventions suitable for integrated farming system depending on the climatic conditions
and natural resource base for optimizing farm returns in a sustainable manner can be included under
RAD projects.
The details of components/ interventions and corresponding cost norms along with pattern of
assistance is at Annexure-I.
7. Release of funds:
7.1 For implementation of RAD projects 50% of funds will be released by GOI and 50% of funds
will be released by State Government under NMSA. Assistance to individual farmers is up to
50%.
8. Monitoring:
8.1 Web-based monitoring, video conferencing, desk reviews, field visits, and evaluation of
programme implementation will be followed for effective monitoring of Mission initiatives.
9. A tentative action plan for an amount of Rs. 20 crores is proposed in 80 clusters for implementation of Rainfed Area Development for the year 2015-16 in (9) districts of Telangana.

ANDHRA PRADESH WATER SECTOR IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (APWSIP)

(NAGARJUNASAGAR MODERNISATION SCHEME)

The Government of Andhra Pradesh is implementing Andhra Pradesh Water Sector Improvement
Project (APWSIP) for modernization of NagarjunaSagar project with the assistance of the World
Bank at an outlay of Rs. 4444.41/- crores.
Duration of the project: 6 years commencement from September 2010 ending in July 31st 2016
The NSP feeds canals on the left and right banks of Krishna river through 116 mandals in the
districts of Nalgonda (16), Khammam (16) under left canal in Telangana. The major area of crop
is about 85% under Rice, Cotton, Chillies and pulses.
Project Development Objective:

The development objectives of the proposed APWSIP are :
(i) To improve irrigation service delivery on a sustainable basis so as to increase productivity
of irrigated agriculture in the NSS
(ii) To strengthen the states institutional capacity for multi-sectoral planning, development and
management of its resources
(iii) The project aims to provide assured supply of water to Water User Associations (WUAs).
The project also aims to provide farmers with necessary tools to maximize the productivity
of water resource. The objective will be achieved through the provision of technical,
extension and agri- business development support in such a way that it can be adapted
to the farmers needs at the community/WUA level in regards to agriculture, horticulture,
livestock production and fisheries.
The project supports the following components:

Component A:
Component B:
Component C:
Component D:
Improving irrigation service delivery and management in Nagarjuna Sagar Project Scheme
Irrigated Agriculture Intensification and Diversification
Water Sector Institutional Restructuring and Capacity Building
Project Management
Component B:Irrigated Agriculture Intensification and Diversification

Irrigated Agriculture Intensification and Diversification (IAID) is one of the components in this
project and aims to improve livelihoods of water users in the NSS command area.
The component aims at increasing farmer incomes in the NSS by improving productivity,
diversification and profitability of field and horticultural crops, livestock, fisheries and other production
activities. This would be achieved by adoption of improved production technologies and efficient
on-farm water management practices, strengthening of agricultural support services and by making
agricultural production more demand driven and better aligned with the market opportunities.
The component would support following six sub components:

B1- Field crops (Rs. 47.374 Cr.)
B2- Horticultural crops (Rs.12.912 Cr.)
B3 - Livestock (Rs.18.339 Cr.)
269
2015 - 2016

B4 - Fish Production (Rs.5.458 Cr.)
B5 - Adaptive Research (ANGRAU) (Rs.5.388 Cr.)
B6 - Market led Extension (MANAGE)( Rs.6.104 Cr.)
B1-(Field Crops) Agriculture :

Agricultural activities are planned to improve water user efficiency (WUE), increase productivity,
cropping intensity and crop diversification in the NSS command.
The Agriculture activities of the IAID - B1-Field Crops will focus on the following major
interventions.

Improvement in production technologies through demonstrations

Trainings at different levels
Capacity Building - Capacity building through ATMA
Strengthening of FTCs/SAMETI
Strengthening of Laboratories
Implementation Arrangements :
The Project Preparation and Monitoring Unit (PPMU) at State level is responsible for the
implementation of APWSIP .Within the APWSIP the department of Agriculture will be the Nodal
agency responsible for implementation IAID . To coordinate all the Agriculture and allied sectors a
Project Coordination Unit (PCU) has been established with respective heads of departments, Director
SAMETI, Director of Research ANGRAU as members under the chairmanship of Commissioner and
Director of Agriculture. The Project Cell in the office of C&DA will be responsible for day to day
running of the project.
The Agriculture Specialist at district level will liaise closely with the Joint Director of Agriculture
and Project Director ATMA. He will be responsible for overall implementation and supervision of the
contractual staff i.e, Project Program Promoters (PPPs) at mandal level.
At the village level, the Polambadi (Farmer Field School) will be the implementation concept
and the Water Users Association members will be the ultimate beneficiaries.
Expected results from this component are:

(i) Increased cropping intensity and
(ii) Increased crop diversity
(iii) Increased productivity of field and vegetable crops, livestock and fish
Action Plan:
Action Plan for B1- Component (Field Crops) has been prepared for the year-2015-16 with a
financial out-lay of Rs 530.00 lakhs .
