  1. Water Management & Dryland Farming (Group-II) Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Chhattisgarh, Jammu & Kashmir, Maharashtra, Nagaland, Punjab Kharif Conference 2012

  2. Dryland Farming is in the grip of two monsters Market Monsoon

  3. DRYLAND/RAINFED AGRICULTURE • Net Sown Area: 141m.ha • Net Irrig. Area: 63 m.ha. • Rainfed Area: 78 m.ha. (mostly arid, semi-arid & sub-humid) • Irrigated Areas: 55% of foodgrain • Rainfed Areas: 45% of foodgrain

  4. High Risk-Low Yield Business Erratic Rainfall, Floods, Droughts, Inadequate Irrigation Infrastructure NATURAL High Risk Land Degradation, Poor Soil Fertility Less Investment in Inputs SOCI O-ECONOMIC Small Land Holdings, Poor Farmers Low Productivity Lower Credit off take Under developed Market Infrastructure, Poor Post Harvest Management Poor Socio-Economic growth, Illiteracy, Poverty

  5. Status of irrigation Development
