Enhancing farm level economy (i.e. farm profits) to restore confidence of farmers of targeted districts

STRATEGY

Expansion of area of Pulses and Wheat, No expansion of area in rice

Bridging the yield gap between the potential and the present level of productivity through :->

Acceleration of seed production

Awards for best performing district in each State.

WHEAT:-

Providing subsidy on diesel pump sets and community generators for irrigation

Promotion of micronutrient use in deficient areas

Assistance for innovative interventions at local level.

PULSES:-

Increasing seed replacement rate to 25% from present level of 7-8%

Promotion of sprinkler irrigation.

Integrated Nutrient Management (INM)

FLOW OF FUND

Funds for the Mission's programmed to be directly released to the State Food Security Mission (SFSM) agency after approval by the National Executive Committee.

State Mission agency would ensure implementation of the programmed, in a time-bound manner and would make available funds to the District level implementing agency in accordance with their approved programmed.

Funds would be released in installments based on progress reports and furnishing of utilization certificates
