Guidelines for rainfed area development programme - Document prepared by Department of Agriculture and Cooperation (2011)

The document has been brought out by the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation and is about a proposed programme to increase agricultural productivity and livelihood security of farmers in rainfed areas. Rainfed areas account for nearly 57 per cent of the agricultural land in India. These areas assume special significance in terms of ecology, agricultural productivity and livelihoods for millions. With proper management, rainfed areas have the potential of contributing a larger share to food grain production. In-fact the potential is such that there is more opportunity for faster agricultural growth here than in irrigated areas.

Guidelines for integrated development of 60,000 pulses villages in rainfed areas - Document prepared by Department of Agriculture and Cooperation (2011)

This document is the operational plan for implementing the integrated development of 60,000 villages of pulses crops as announced in the 2011-12 Union budget. The budget allocates Rs 300 crores under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) for this scheme. This project will supplement the ongoing work on pulses development under the National Food Security Mission. There is also an emphasis on building institutions that would provide market linkage to the grower of pulses. The states of M.P, U.P, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Chattisgarh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Orissa, Rajasthan, and Tamilnadu were chosen for this programme. These states together constitute nearly 96% of area where pulses are grown.

Now it is water all the way in Garhkundar–Dabar watershed of drought-prone semi-arid Bundelkhand – A paper in Current Science

This report in Current Science presents the success story of watershed development in Garhkundar–Dabar watershed of drought-prone semi-arid Tikamgarh district in Bundelkhand, Madhya Pradesh. The area suffers from water scarcity, natural resource degradation, low crop productivity (1–1.5 t/ha), low rainwater use efficiency (35–45  per cent), high erosion, poor soil fertility, frequent droughts, poor irrigation facilities, heavy biotic pressure on forests, inadequate vegetation cover and frequent crop failure resulting in scarcity of food, fodder and fuel. The region has serious limitations of ground and surface-water availability and heavily depends upon perched water for drinking as well as irrigation.
