Action Plan & Project report has been prepared and shall be approved by the state level committee very shortly.

23. Constraints in Development of Horticulture Week linkage between farmers and R&D Institutions. Ineffective transfer of technology. Inadequate Post harvest Infrastructure & processing facilities. Paucity of resources for large investments. MP shall use a flexible Mission structure without duplication of too many organisations.

24. National Horticulture Mission: State Govt. have submitted proposal for Rs. 499.14 crores in August 2004. The components are - On Farm Development activities - Production encouragement - Institution Development - Research support and - Post harvest management.

25. Readiness to Dry land Agriculture Dry Land Agriculture State has only 28.5% irrigation Rest 71.5% agriculture is rainfed. Farming is risk-prone and characterized by low productivity. Therefore increasing productivity in dry land agriculture is the challenge to the Department. State Govt. is in a state of readiness to implement the scheme on enhancing sustainability of Dry land farming system proposed by GOI. The methods are already being used in some schemes or other.

26. Scheme will be implemented in 258 Blocks out of total 313 Block in the state having less than 30% irrigation Block are identified District wise schemes are prepared. Components selected are:

27. Project cost for each Block is Rs. 17.00 lacs/year. Total cost for 258 Blocks in the state will be Rs. 45 crores. Scheme submitted to GOI. Sanction is awaited GOI requested to early sanction.

32. Suggestions related to CSS

33. Suggestion related to C.S.S. Schemes • At present Mini kits supplied are of the certified seeds. State Govt. is of the view that mini kit should be of foundation seed, so that farmers produce his own Certified seeds. This shall help in enhancing the seed replacement Rate (SRR) • In ISOPOM the distribution subsidy in seed production is available on varieties which are 10 years old. In MP out of the 45 lakh hectares under soybean, 75% of the area is covered by JS-335 which was released in 1994 (now more than 10 yrs old). Farmers shall have to pay more for the seeds now. • GOI should come out with standards of some Micro nutrients/Growth regulators which are available in the market. • GOI should provide financial resources for testing Laboratory for these Micronutrients/growth regulators.

34. Suggestion related to C.S.S. Schemes • Distribution subsidy should be provided for the foundation seeds as the state is taking up a programme for providing these to the farmers. • 75% funds should be released at the beginning the year for MP as most of the crop production schemes require funds during the Kharif season.

35. Suggestion related to TMC II (Cotton) • Assistance on distribution of certified seed is Rs. 20/- per Kg. for all varieties and hybrids which are notified within 15 years. It should be 30% of cost because hybrid seed of cotton are so costlier (Ranging from Rs. 400 to 500 per kg.). This provision should also be allowed for Bt. cotton. • Assistance on production of foundation seed is 50% of the cost, (reimbursement) limited to Rs. 50/- per kg. and for certified seed it is 25% of the cost (reimbursement) limited to Rs. 15 per kg. but it should be enhanced to 50% of cost for production of foundation and certified seed without any limitation.

36. Macro management • 24 Schemes of 5 Departments included. • During 2004-05 to proposed for Rs. 63.19 crores was submitted to GOI. • But GOI sanctioned only Rs. 45.00 crores, against higher demands by the state. • For 2005-06 funds required are Rs. 125.25 crores. • Subsidy to SC/ST, small and marginal farmers on improved farm machinery may enhanced from 25% to 50%.

37. In modified NAIS • Risk coverage in post harvesting losses will covered for costal area only, it should be extended to all state. • For S&M farmers uniform premium subsidy of 75% should be provided on all slabs of premium. • There should be cutoff date for payment of claims. • If Govt. employees (VLW etc. are involved in motivation of non-loanee farmers for participating in scheme incentives should also be paid to them @ 2.5%.

38. Issues related to Agriculture University Project Proposals sent by State Agri. University to ICAR New Delhi • Proposal for establishment of dry land horticulture research station at Garhakota dist. Sagar. • Project proposal for sanction of AICRP sub centre on garlic, fenugreek and coriander. • Continuation of the AICRP on medicinal & aromatic plant centre at Indore. • Proposal for establishing the Krishi Vigyan Kendra in 16 district.
