Cotton: Strategy for Kharif 2018 Ø Eradication of Host Plants of White Fly § The campaign started w. e. f. March 2018 Ø Campaign for dissemination of crop production technology § Farmer training camps in progress Ø Timely sowing: canal water and power supply § Matter taken up with respective departments Ø Supply of quality seeds § 20. 0 lakh packets of 60 hybrids of pvt seed companies Ø Promotion of Mechanization in cotton through High Density Planting System (HDPS) Ø Pest Surveillance and IPM during the growing season

Updated Action Plan of Punjab State for Control of Crop Residue Burning by Farmers As approved by Worthy Chief Secretary Punjab. The Main components of the Plan are as follows: I. CREATING AWARENESS AMONGST THE FARMERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC II. PROVIDING APPROPRIATE RESIDUE/STRAW MANAGEMENT MACHINERY TO THE FARMERS III. DIVERSIFICATION OF CROPS IV. PROMOTING ALTERNATIVE USES OF PADDY STRAW V. INCENTIVES FOR ZERO BURNING OF PADDY STRAW VI. MONITORING OF FIRE INCIDENTS AND IMPOSITION OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPENSATION Deputy Commissioners in the districts will be the nodal authority for implementing the action plan for stopping of crop residue/stubble burning by the farmers

IMPLEMENTATIONS OF EXTENSION SCHEMES MAJOR OBJECTIVES Ø Making extension system farmer driven and farmer accountable by disseminating technology to farmers. Ø Adopting group approach to extension in line with the identified needs and requirements of the farmers. Ø Facilitating convergence of farmer centric programmes in planning, execution and implementation.

Various Modes of Extension adopted…. • District, block, village level training Camps: Farmers acquainted with the latest technology • Radio & TV Talks and by distributing literature free of cost etc. • Kisan Huts: Kiosk/shop for products prepared by farmers/self help groups • ATMA Kisan Bazaar/Farm to Home: District depts turned into agri markets

Advertisement placed in Newspapers Awareness regarding Crop Residue Management

Apart from these…… • • • Other Activities like Field based Programmes & Demonstrations Exposure visit of Farmers Farmer Scientist Interaction Road side panels and hoardings under National Food Security Mission Mobilization of Farmer Groups Custom Hiring Centers Farm Field School Farmer Friends Farmer Producer organization

Support Envisaged…. • Registration of FPO’s be made more simple and hassle free • Timely Release of Funds under NMAET: Funding pattern from 60: 40 to 90: 10 • Distribution of Crop Residue Equipments at 100% grant-in-aid as special chapter of SMAM • Addistional bonus of Rs 100 per quintal above MSP of paddy • Agriculture MSP and procurement of alternate crops

FACILITIES PROVIDED TO THE FARMERS FOR PROMOTION OF PULSES v Seed of Summer Moong is provided on subsidy @Rs. 25/- Kg. Under National Food Security Mission-Pulses. v Subsidy @ Rs. 9000/- per ha. Provided for demonstration. v Weedicides, Fungicides, Pesticides etc. are provided on subsidy @50% or Rs. 500/- hac. whichever is less. v New Machinery is provided to the farmer on subsidy v Seed Rs. 5000/Qtl. subsidy is provided to the farmers under Seed Village Scheme for production of good quality of seed

…. . EXTENSION MODES • Kissan Call Centre 1800 -180 -1551 • Agriculture Extension Supporting Websites & Apps eg. www. agripb. gov. in, M-Kissan, Kissan Suvidha App. • Involvement of Social, media: Department has formed these in association with agri expects e. g cotton surveillance app • Print & Mass media: Advertisements and advisories in newspapers • Digital Media : Kheti Sandesh (started by PAU)

ISSUES AND PROBLEMS v Under NFSM , sharing pattern may please be changed to 90: 10. v Non –procurement of other alternate crops i. e oil seed and pulses at MSP. v Degradation and over exploitation of natural resources i. e soil and water. v Lack of storage facilities for food grains. v Water logging and salinity in south- western districts. v Declining arable land area. v Technology fatigue. v Insufficient Migratory labour in Agriculture sector. v Environmental Pollution

Suggestions • Provision of adequate funds for research and development in crop improvement , natural resource management and climate change adaptation. • Strengthening of scientific storage facilities and cold chain infrastructure. • Establishment of Agro- processing units in Rural Sector. • Assured procurement of diversified crops at MSP to promote diversification. • Govt. of India should reconsider the sharing pattern of scheme. It should be kept at 90: 10.
