TECHNOLOGICAL BACKWARDNESS

LACK OF GOVERNMENT

POLICIES

INEFFECTIVE CROP PATTERN

NON-PARTICIPATION OF PRIVATE SECTOR

UNAVAILABILITY OF HYBRID SEEDS

HIGH INITIAL INVESTMENT

•INDIA HAS 52% CULTIVABLE LAND

•15 MAJOR CLIMATES IN INDIA •46 OUT OF 60 SOILS TYPES

PRESENT IN INDIA •TEN BIO DIVERSITY REGIONS

•LARGEST LIVE STOCK POPULATION

•HIGH HOURS OF SUNSHINE

WHAT HAMMERS INDIAN AGRICULTURE ?

SOLUTION INTEGRATED PPP GROWTH

MODEL TO BOOST AGRICULTURE

1. EFFECTIVE . 2. SOLVE TECHNOLOGICAL BACKWARDNESS. 3. INCREASE IN PRODUCTION, REDUCING TRADE DEFICIT. 4. ECONOMIC CONNECTIVITY OF REMOTE AREAS. 5. ADVANCED . 6. HIGH PRODUCTIVITY RESULTS IN FOOD SECURITY, THUS REDUCES

MALNOURISHMENT RATES. 7. HYBRID SEEDS, RESEARCHED AND DEVELOPED IN INDIA- WITH LESS COST

AND HIGH YIELDING. 8. PREVENTS USING CULTIVABALE LANDS FOR INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES. 9. MORE INVESTMENT IN THE SECTOR RESULTS IN MORE JOBS, LEADING TO

ECONOMIC PROSPERITY. 10. INCREASE IN LEVELS OF FARMER PARTICIPATION. 11. PROMOTING OTHER NON-CULTIVABLE FARMING LIKE CATTLE BREEDING. 12. INCREASE IN POWER GENERATION.

EFFECTIVE WATER MANAGEMENT

WATER MANAGEMENT INITIATIVE IN

*CHECK DAMS : 113,000 *BORI BANDHS : 56,000 *FARM PONDS : 241,000 (source : IIMA,2010)

INTEGRATED CANALS AND CHECK DAMS INTERLINKING OF RIVERS CANAL TOP SOLAR POWER PROJECT PROVIDES SURPLUS ELECTRICITY AND WATER TO PLACES FAR AWAY FROM THE RIVERS. LOSS OF WATER BY THE PROCESS OF EVAPORATION CAN BE CONTROLLED ON A HIGHER SCALE. UNINTERRUPTED WATER AND ELECTRICITY SUPPLY CAN GIVE GOOD RESULT FOR THE FARMERS. STORAGE OF WATER CAN HELP IN A DOUGHT SITUATION. PROPER WATER TREATMENT PLAN IN EVERY STATE. THE NETWORK CAN PREVENT FLOODS DURING HEAVY MONSOON.

INNOVATION LABS EACH STATE SHOULD POCESS ONE INNOVATION LAB FOR AGRICULTURAL PURPOSES. GENETIC MODIFICATIONS ARE DONE IN THE LAB. SCIENTISTS SHOULD RESEARCH ON PRODUCTS LIKE GOLDEN RICE, GIVING NEW VARIETIES HAVING HIGHER NUTRIENT VALUES. HYBRID PLANTS, WHICH CAN RESIST EXTREME CLIMATES SHOULD BE MADE THERE. HIGH YIELDING VARIETIES (HYV) SHOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE AT CONSIDERABLE PRICE AND SUPPLIED via SELF HELP GROUPS. SEEDS ADAPTED TO THE PARTICULAR STATE SHOULD BE CLOSELY LOOKED AT. VACCINE FOR CATTLES SHOULD BE DEVELOPED INORDER TO ADD NUTRIENT VALUES TO THE OUTCOME PRODUCT.

GOLDEN RICE VARIETIES

CATTLE BREEDING IS CONSIDERED AS AN EFFECTIVE METHOD, BOTH ECONOMICALLY OR IN TERMS OF NUTRITION. MILK SECTOR HAS WITNESSED SUBSTANTIAL INCREASE. MILK SURPLUS STATE CAN EXPORT THE EXCEEDING QUANTITY AND BRING FROEIGN MONEY TO INDIAN MARKET.

FISH INDUSTRIAL SECTOR HAS IMMENSE POTENTIAL FOR RURAL DEVELOPMENT, WOMAN EMPOWERMENT AND DOMESTIC FOOD SECURITY. INDIA IS THE THIRD LARGEST FISH HARVESTING COUNTRY. INNOVATION LABS CAN BE USED FOR FISH INDUSTRY TOO, THUS THRIVING IN GDP AND DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

•DIRECT LINKING BETWEEN PARLIAMENT AND THE FARMERS. •FUND TRANSFEING DIRECTLY WITHOUT MIDDLEMEN, INCRESES EFFICIENCY OF THE REACH. •ERADICATE UNAWARENESS OF TECHNOLOGY DUE TO COMMUNICATION GAP •GOVT ANLONG WITH PRIVATE PARTNERS PROVIDE SUBSIDIES AND LOANS FOR SMALL FARMERS UNDER A CREAMY LAYER •INVOLVING SELF HELP GROUPS, TO PROMOTE AGRICULTURE IN RURAL AREAD. •INCREASES EFFICIENCY OF PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM. •RESOLVING CULTURAL BARRIERS TO ADOPTION OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY. •REMOVE UNWILLINGNESS OF PEOPLE TO GET INTO OR IVEST IN AGRICULTURE SECTOR, SOLVING ECONOMIC CRISIS AND ATTRACTING MORE INVESTMENTS.

IMPACT

REDUCE TRADE DEFICIT

CHALLENGES •SOCIALIST PARTIES MAY OPPOSE PUBLIC-PRIVATE

PARTNERSHIP

•THE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS MAY TAKE LARGER TIME FRAME TO GET DEPLOYED

•DIFFICULTY IN REACHING A POLITICAL CONSENSUS AS

ALL PARTIES ARE INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS.

•MORE LAND NEED TO BE AQUIRED FOR INCREASING STORAGE FECILITY

•THE FUNCTION OF PANCHAYATI RAJ INSTITUTIONS

NEED TO BE MONITORED, CHANCES OF CORRUPTION IS HIGH.

•GETTING INVESTORS WHEN INDIAN ECONOMY IS

UNDERPERFORMING AS IF NOW.

•COMPUTERISING THE SYSTEM NEEDS A CONSIDERABLE INITIAL INVESTMENT

•MORE SUBSIDIES MAY RESULT IN FISCAL DEFICIT
