EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
9
103.7346
5450.685
The qualitative as well as quantitative agricultural growth is a pre condition for
development of intensive agriculture in India. The low growth in agriculture and allied sectors is
hampering the economy of our country. The major objective of centrally sponsored schemes
provided to the states is to increase the public investment in agriculture and allied sectors with
focus on increasein
yieldof
important crops and maximize the returns to
farmers from
agriculture and allied sectors.
To meet the objectives of CSS (Centrally Sponsored Schemes) the comprehensive
District Agriculture Plan (C-DAP) for district Jammu for the XIIth five year plan was prepared by
adopting participatory methodology involving all the stakeholders as suggested by planning
commission.
Jammu is located 740 24' and 750 18' East longitude and 320 50' and 330 30' North
latitude. The district falls under sub-mountainous region. The Shivalik ranges rise gradually from
behind the Jammu town and merge the Indo Gangetic Plains in the South spreading over an area
of 3097 Sq Km. It is approximately 600 Kms away from National Capital. New Delhi and is
linked with a National Highway.
Major crops of Jammu district are paddy, maize and wheat. Besides this, the cultivation
of vegetables, mushroom, spices, flowers and medicinal plants is also popular in district. Paddy
(Basmati Rice) and vegetables are been commercially cultivated in the District. Cow, Goats and
Poultry (Backyard) are major component of animal husbandry in the district.
District Plan at a Glance
The vision involved for the district is to put Jammu on higher growth orbit of sustainable
agriculture development with special emphasis on:

Modern techniques in cultivation of fruits, vegetables and flowers, value addition and
marketing, so as to double the per capita income by 2020.

Increasing farm income through animal component by emphasizing on stock meat and
management practices.

Developing farmer‟s preferred local landraces of field crops more suited to the region by
promoting brand value of originally produced local products.

With decreasing farm size, vertical expansion with multi-cropping and wide scale
adoption of enterprises that require no/less land (secondary agriculture) seems to be the
rational option left for the farmers.
10

Most of the soils of the district are loamy and sandy in nature with high rate of soil loss
due to erosion.

The soils are high in organic carbon, low-medium available nitrogen and phosphorous
and medium to high potassium.

The irrigation facilities in the district are insufficient and experience the dry spell during
the winters and springs though it experiences heavy rainfall during other months of the
year.

Erratic behavior of monsoon and prolonged dry spells during the crop period cause crop
failure/low productivity and production in some rain-fed areas.

There exists significant gap between actual and attainable yields.

Low availability of quality seeds/planting materials, organic manures, bio-pesticides and
non adoption of improved production practices are some of the major constraints leading
to yield gaps.

SWOT analysis revealsthat lack of scientific knowhow, poor economic conditions, low
risk bearing ability and slackness toward agriculture on part of farmers also contribute for
lower productivity.

Study of existing farming practices, farming system (s), constraints and gaps pave the
way for recommended interventions for the development of agriculture and allied sectors.
 Activities such as formation of interest/commodities groups and federation, exposure
visits are proposed for enabling farmers to make them informed choices related to
production and marketing aspects.
 Need based and area specific extension activities are proposed for capacity building and
skill up-gradation of farmers and field staff through specialized trainings, demonstrations
and farm.
 The specific projects proposed in the plan are aimed to provide a support base to the other
activities and achieving the projected growth rates in agriculture and allied sectors in
Jammu district. These projects will address long term issues and also cater to the
immediate needs of the farmers and the economy of the district.
 The specific projects in agriculture sector cover the aspect of natural resource
management, survey monitoring and evaluation, organic farming, integrated farming
11
system, farm mechanization, value addition and marketing along with strengthening of
training and research infrastructure.
 For the development of allied sector for specific project and proposed in the plan are for
area expansion and rejuvenation/re-plantation of fruits plants. Specific project for
development of animal husbandry and fisheries, bee keeping, Mushroom and marketing
are also proposed for provided added impetus to the diversified farming based on the
district.
The total financial outlay for Stream-I of the 12thplan period is estimated to the tune of Rs
5407.663 Lacs which comprises 1719.39lacs for Agriculture sector and Rs 3582.24 Lacs for
allied sectors.
For Stream-II, the proposed financial outlay stands at Rs. 160.22 Lacs (Rupees One
hundred sixty lacs) with allocation of Rs. 23.02 Lacs for agriculture and Rs. 137.20 Lacs for
allied sectors extension activities.
The grand total outlay for the planned period is to the tune of Rs. 5567.883 Lacs (Rs. Five
Thousand Five Hundred & sixety eight lacs)

CHAPTER-1
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The economic reforms commenced in 1991, have successfully put the economy in a
higher growth orbit of more than 8% growth rate in total Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
especially during the recent years. However, the agriculture sector which accounted for more
than 30 % of total GDP at the beginning of reforms failed to maintain its pre-reform growth. On
the contrary, it witnessed a sharp decline in growth after mid 1990 and the per annum growth of
agriculture sector was 1.9 % during 1996-97. The 10th five year plan target for growth of 4%per
annum in agriculture and allied sectors was set to reverse the sharp decline of 1996-97 to 200102 which was not achieved. The approach paper of 11th plan emphasized the reversal of
declaration in agricultural growth witnessed after 1996 as a pre-requisite for the success of this
plan. A sustained and wide spread agricultural growth is a pre-condition for development in
India as more than 50% of country‟s work force depends upon agriculture for its livelihood. This
slow growth in agriculture (including allied sector) is great strain for the economy as agriculture
not only an important driver of macro-economic performance isalso an essential element of the
strategy to make more impressive growth. Concerned over the slow pace of growth in agriculture
and allied sectors, National Development Council (NDC) in 2007 resolved that a special
Additional Central Assistant Scheme i.e. National Agriculture Development Programme
(NADP) Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) be launched with following objectives :
a) To incentivize the states for increasing public investment: in agriculture and allied sectors.
b) To ensure that agricultural plans of districts / states are prepared and are based on agroclimatic conditions, availability of technology and natural resources.
1
c) To reduce the yield gap in important crops and increase the production and productivity in
agriculture and allied sectors through focused and holistic initiatives.
d) To ensure that local needs / crops / priorities are better reflected in the agricultural plans of
the district / states.
e) To provide flexibility and autonomy to states in planning and implementation of the
agriculture and allied sector schemes.
f) To maximize income of farmers in agriculture and allied sectors.
The eligibility for assistance from the Centre under the scheme would depend upon the state
Govt. for reflecting amounts in the Plan Budget of the State for agriculture and allied sectors
over the base line expenditure. As per the NDC resolution, Govt. of India introduced a new
Additional Central Assistance Scheme to incentivize states to draw up plans for their agriculture
sector more comprehensively taking agro-climatic conditions, natural resources issues and
technologies into account and integrating livestock, poultry, fisheries etc. more purposefully.
This new scheme administered by the Union Ministry of Agricultureprovides additional central
assistance (ACA) to state plans over and above its existing Centrally Sponsored Scheme to
supplement the state-specific strategies. In order to rejuvenate the agriculture during XIIth plan
growth rate of 4 % per annum has to be achieved by reorienting development strategies that meet
the needs of the farmers. The XIIth plan provides an opportunity to restructure policies to achieve
a new vision based on faster, broad-based and inclusive growth. It aims at putting the economy
on a sustainable growth trajectory with a GDP growth rate of approximately 10 % by the end of
plan period and target a robust agricultural growth at 4 % per year. The agriculture growth being
essential element of the strategy of making growth more inclusive, the NDC advised the State
2
Governments for preparation of comprehensive District Agriculture Plans (C-DAP) which
includes allied agriculture sectors with full and efficient utilization of available resources.
Keeping this in view, the C-DAP of Jammu is prepared on the basis of primary and
secondary data of the district for achieving sustainable agricultural growth and improves farmer's
income through participatory process involving stakeholders and various organizations. By
establishing strong linkages with research institutes and allied departments the plan will ensure
optimum utilization of scarce natural, physical and financial resources.
1.2 Methodology
The C-DAP is prepared as per the process and methodology suggested by theerstwhile Planning
Commission, Government of India. The approach followed in preparation of the document was
based on Participatory Appraisal. The department of Agriculture and allied development
departments provided all necessary support and inputs. The interaction at Gram panchayat level
was held through village level extension officials of various line Departments on the pattern
suggested by erstwhilePlanning Commission.
The following specific aspects were covered in the programme:

Issues and challenges in Agriculture sector

Planning concepts and district Planning

Basic features and planning process of RKVY

Vision, methodology and process of preparing C-DAP

Participatory Rural Appraisal

Farming system approach

Farming situation based extension

Integrated Nutrient Management (INM), Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Natural
3
Resource Management (NRM), Human Resource Development (HRD), Marketing and
other important aspects.
1.3 Data collection and consultation
Primary Data: For in-depth farm/ village level study covering important aspects of agriculture
and allied fields, the district was divided into four distinctive Agro-eco-situations (AESs).From
each AES representative villages were selected for collecting required information on modified
semi-structured schedules through PRAcovering the whole gamut of farming operations related
to agriculture and allied activities being undertaken by the villagers (Table 1).
Concurrent review and verification of data: The primary as well as secondary data collected
was cross-checked through triangulations and verified from information/ reports available with
different government departments and PRA based exercises. The District Plan, SREP and other
related documents/reports of different departments were consulted for preparing the C-DAP.

2.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE DISTRICT
2.1 Introduction
Jammu District is called as the city of temples and is also the winter capital of state. The city was
founded by Raja JambuLochan who lived in 14th Century B.C. Jammu is situated around river
Tawi and is bound by Udhampur district in the north and north east, Samba district in the east
and south east, Pakistan (Sialkote) in the west and Rajouri district in the northwest. It is located
740 24' and 750 18' east longitude and 320 50' and 330 30' north latitude. The district falls under
sub-mountainous region. The Shivalik ranges rise gradually from behind the Jammu town and
merge with the Indo Gangetic Plains in the South spreading over an area of 2336 sq.kms (2011
census). Jammu also serves as base camp for the holy shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi. The
temperature varies from cold in winter with minimum temperature touching even 0.90C to heat
wave in summers when the temperature shoots upto 460C. Jammu district has population of
15.29 lakhs, out of which rural population is 7.65 lakhs and urban population is 7.64 lakhs. The
male and female population in rural area is 4.02 lakhs and 3.63 lakhs and in urban area 4.12 and
3.52 lakhs, respectively (2011 census). The literary rate of the district is 77%. The district
comprises four tehsils i.e. Jammu, R.S.Pura, Akhnoor and Bishnah. The entire district can be
divided into two distinct portions. The area forming north of Jammu-Chhamb road and JammuPathankot road which is known as Kandi area is comparatively under-developed and is mostly
minted. The area south of these roads is largely fed by canal and tube wells for irrigation
purposes and is relatively more prosperous. As per the census of 2011 Jammu District consists of
780 inhabited villages.

2.3 Vision
Indeed the growth rate of agriculture is low as compared to other sectors; there is enough scope
for enhancing growth rate of agriculture to take it to new heights. As large population of district
is dependant directly or indirectly upon agriculture,there is need to encourage the public &
private investments in agriculture & allied sectors. About 50% of the work force depends upon
agriculture for its livelihood, and as such much emphasis should be laid to achieve 4% growth
rate in Agriculture sector in near future. Although progress has been made in cereals, pulses,
oilseeds, vegetable, mushrooms, honey, horticulture, milk & poultry production, but there is
sufficient scope to enhance the production in these sectors. To attain the desired goals food
security sustainability, diversification & socioeconomic upliftment of masses for self
relianteconomy, a vision document under different CSS schemes is conceptualized which will
boost the production and productivity of Agriculture and other allied sectors.

CHAPTER-III
3.0 SWOT ANALYSIS OF THE DISTRICT
3.1 Introduction
SWOT analysis is a strategic planning method used to evaluate the Strengths, Weaknesses,
Opportunities and Threats involved in any venture. SWOT also encompasses a comprehensive
analysis of the development parameters linked with economic performance of the State thereby
enabling the policy makers and researchers to reorient themselves to the prevailing conditions.
Thus while discussing the problems of the state it is important to look also at its strengths first. In
this endeavor an in-depth analysis of SWOT was undertaken in a participatory manner to place
the extension and technology dissemination efforts in perspective so that success can be achieved
in pursuit of serving farming community.
3.1.1 SWOT Analysis of Agriculture Sector
Strengths
1. The factors required for successful cultivation of paddy (Basmati) are available in the
district.
2. Productive and fertile soils with 62% irrigated area.
3. The soils are fit for intensive cultivation.
4. Good scope for diversification in agriculture, which will generate employment especially
rural employment.
5. Farmers are reseptive and willing to adopt improved farm technologies.
6. Agriculture has forward and backward linkages with other activities particularly the agro
based activities. As per the latest census, out of 100 main workers, 27.5% exclusively
dependent upon agriculture.
7. Large number of skilled and semi-skilled agricultural labour.
14
Weaknesses
1. As against the national average of 382 persons per sq.km, density of population of the
district Jammu is 653 persons per sq. km (as per 2011 census).
2. Area under commercial crops is very less.
3. Average farm size vey less and more than 90% farmers are marginal and small category.
4. The small and fragmented holdings make the adoption of farm mechanization very
difficult that influences adversely the farmer‟s income.
5. Inadequate soils health management practices.
6. Inefficient and improper water management especially in paddy crop.
7. Critical technological gaps in specific areas of crop production viz, seed treatment,
balance fertilization, weeds control and disease management.
8. Basic infrastructure like roads and communication are miserably poor.
9. Marketing facilities are inadequate.
10. Poor adoption level of FYM, green-manuring, vermi-composting and crop/farm residues
11. Inadequate availability of quality seeds for various crops.
12. Non exploitation of potential man power, especially youths.
13. Lack of proper knowledge and indifferent attitude towards crucial farm/crop management
practices/operations.
14. The dependency of farmers on monsoonsdue to inadequate irrigation facilities.
15. Access of small and marginal farmers to agricultural credit is limited.
16. Wastage of agricultural produce due to lack of processing units.
15
Opportunities
1. Concentrating issues confronting agriculture like seed replacement ratio, irrigation
facilities, marketing etc.
2. Quality seed can increase yield by 25-30 %.

4. Wide scope of co-operative farming system.
5. There is an opportunity in the diversification of land.
6. High demand for basmati rice in the international market because of taste and flavour.
7. HYV seeds of different crops are suitable for the situation.
8. There is scope for opening more outlets, establishing new units of vermi-compost.
Threats
1. Agriculture is already over-laboured, warrants check and controls.
2. Alarming depletion of ground water in the middle reaches and rising alkalinity and
salinity problem in the lower belts of district.
3. Degradation of soil fertility with declining status of potash and micronutrients (imbalance
use of fertilizers)
4. Excessive soil erosion which results into loss in soil fertility.
5. Imbalance fertilizer application deteriorates soil health and effects productivity.
6. Declining productivity and rising cost of cultivation.
7. Increasing farmers inability to invest in agriculture production system as majority of the
farmers are marginal or small and moreover resource poor.
16

5. Poor economic status of farming community
6. Lack of integrated pest management (IPM) technology for horticulture crops
7. Inadequate post-harvest infrastructure results in wastage of the produce.
8. Inadequacy of agro-processing facility
Opportunities
1. Soil and agro-climatically there exists immense scope for increasing the area under
horticulture.
2. Establishment of Cold Storage facilities to improve price stabilization, manipulation of
supply to the advantage of the seller and for better sorting, grading and packaging
facilities.
17
3. Contract farming is important mechanism whereby private corporate sector can establish
linkages between farmers and markets.
4. Development of wholesale fruit and vegetable markets will provide updated information
on the prevailing rates.
Threats
1. Changing climatic scenario may adversely affect horticulture crops and disinterest
farming community
2. Poor market infrastructure for marketing the fruit crops
3. Inadequate post- harvest/ value addition units
3.1.3 SWOT Analysis of Animal Husbandry

6. Poultry feed expensive on account of import of other feed stuffs from other parts of
country.
7. Poor implementation of Cross breeding programmes
8. Labour shortage.
3.1.4 SWOT Analysis of Fisheries Sector
Strengths
1. Fish production, productivity and acreage increasing steadily over years
2. Vast unfulfilled demand for fish with easy market accessibility
3. Greater people participation and generation of employment opportunities especially for
landless and marginal farmers
4. Technical, financial and marketing assistance by government agencies for promotion of
this sector
Weakness
1. Weak infrastructure for fish seed production and genetic up-gradation
2. Lack of farmer oriented activities e.g. trainings, demonstrations, exposure visits,
awareness camps etc. to update farmer‟s practices of fish production and management
3. Inadequate quality seed availability of high yielding fresh water fish
20
Opportunity
1. Immense scope for fish seed (fingerling) production to cater the needs of fish farmers of
the state
2. Ample scope for mobilizing untapped water resources such as water logged area and soil
for aquaculture
3. Integrated fish farming
4. Fisheries development can go a long way in solving the problem of gainful employment
to rural population
Threats
1. High mortality in juvenile and adult fish
2. Absence of any reputed center/ source of fish feed, fisheries management institute
3. Lack of post harvest management practices by farmers
4. Poor facilities for soil and water sample testing, disease diagnosis and post harvest
infrastructures
3.1.5 SWOT Analysis of Sericulture Sector
Strengths
1. Silkworm rearing is of short duration and investment is very low.
2. Cash returns available immediately after the crop is ready.
3. Alternate source of income for silkworm rearing families
4. Proper use of degraded land
Weakness
1. Rapidurbanization has reduced the traditional silkworm rearing
2. Insufficient marketing facility reduces interest of the farmers
21
3. Mostly the landless and even houseless people area associated with the activity which
needs to be supported for raising rearing accommodation and equipment
Opportunity
1. There is wide scope of extension of Mulberry plantation even cocoon production in the
far flung areas of Jammu district especially in Dansal block of Jammu district
Threats
1. Fluctuation of cocoon prices and even silk yarn in the state as well as at the national level
is mainly due to influx of Chinese silk at low price thereby bringing down the demand of
indigenous silk

CHAPTER IV
4.0 DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURE SECTOR
4.1 Introduction
Agriculture holds an important position in the economy of the state as well as of the country. The
share of agriculture and allied sectors in the gross state domestic product (1999-2000 prices) for
the year 2010-11 as per advanced estimates stands at 20.59% on the other hand nearly 70% of
the population in the state derives its livelihood directly or indirectly from the agriculture sector.
To meet the burgeoning requirements of population, the country will require to produce 320
million tonnes of food grains by 2025. The productivity of food grains achieved in post green
revolution era through adoption of HYVs (High yielding varieties) and advanced scientific
technology measures has seemed to be plateau. A further intensification in agriculture is,
therefore, imperative through technological interventions followed by appropriate extension
services so as to increase productivity and maintain production in line with population growth
with the sustainable income to the farmers. There is hardly any option available to the farmers of
this region but to increase production and productivity of not only of food grains but other
agriculture produces also. Agriculture is the core sector of Jammu district‟s economy with nearly
70% of the geographical area under cultivation. The farmers cultivate different crops of food,
fodder and commercial value with 175% cropping intensity.
4.2 Major Crops
Bestowed with different climatic conditions as subtropical district, the cultivated land is mainly
divided as dry field, paddy field and vegetable field. In dry field, major crops grown are maize,
pulses, oilseed, and fruits. In paddy field, paddy, wheat, mustard and vegetable are grown.
Participatory rural appraisal conducted and the secondary data of the district reveals the
23
increasing trend in the use of high yielding varieties of the crop. There is high preference of
HYVs in maize, mustard and wheat. The present rising cost of inputs, declining factor
productivity and diminishing farm profitability the emphasis will have to be laidon judicious use
of improved seed, efficient INM, integrated weed and pest management to accelerate production
and productivity of the crops per unit area. At present there are wide gaps between the actual
yield and the attainable potential yield of the crops in the district.

The land and water input management has to be planned for enhanced production and
productivity of crops. Proper input management is imperative to fill this gap. One of most
critical inputs is quality seed. Another related aspect is of seed availability which is badly
affected by infrastructural non-availability. The government agencies assure the supply of
different quality seeds during each season but the demand for quality seed always remain more
than its supply especially through Government agencies. The availability of seed and its
enhanced replacement rate can be ensured by involving farmers in seed production process on a
24
large scale with active help from public and private sector farmer‟s participatory seed
production programmes, extension activities and varietal demonstrations etc.
are being
proposed for management of this prime input.
The seed replacement rate in case of paddy, maize, wheat and oilseeds is 23.5, 28.1, 30.0
and 22.2%, respectively and will be enhanced to 45 –30% in project period.
The availability of seed and its enhanced replacement rate can be ensured by involving
farmers in seed production process on large scale in Seed Village Programme/ Registered seed
growers. The areas having low replacement rate is of concern and seed replacement in those
areas will be boosted (Pulses, Fodder etc.).
In view of strict global competition, subsidy should be enhanced substantially on wide
range of agriculture inputs like seed, fertilizer, power and irrigation.

4.3 Farm Mechanization
Farm mechanization ensures timeliness of operation and proper utilization of inputs resulting
considerable increase in productivity from limited resources on sustainable basis. The use of
mechanical power is need of the hour for making optimal use of resources and timely
competition of farm operations. To meet the future demand of agricultural machinery it should
be available substantially cheaper and affordable rate as majority of the framers are marginal or
small and purchasing machinery individually is not profitable.

4.5 Existing Institutional Mechanism
The present institutional mechanism in the government sector is centralized in nature with Topdown approach. This approach focuses on individual commodities/enterprises rather than on a
holistic/integrated approach. The involvement of stakeholders is rather restricted in ad-hoc
mechanism where farmers are considered as receivers of benefits rather than as responsible
persons who can influence the productions process. The public extension system is supply driven
rather than demand driven.
4.6 Constraints analysis and Recommended Interventions for Development of Agriculture
sector
The yield-gap analysis of major crops identifying different farming situations under
which a crop or an enterprise is being grown under each AES in the district was carried out. The
study of the existing practices was followed by identifying critical gaps by comparing the
existing practices being adopted by the farmers with recommended practices. The factors and/
or constraints leading to the gapswere arrived at before finalizing the strategies along with
approaches and methodology to overcome the constraints and bridging the gaps. Thereafter the
performance indicators and sustainability output are indicated to ensure time bound action and
impact assessment. Afterwards the sustainability and gap analysis issues were sorted out in a
log frame summary indicating proposed mode of action, collaborations/ targets with the costs
involved in addressing the issues critical for increasing productivity with sustainability.
4.7Constraints for backwardness and issues impeding growth
The major obstacles affecting the progress and productivity of the district as identified
by participatory approach are as follows:

Farmers‟ inability to invest

Slow pace of diversification
27

Emphasis on single commodity/ crop approach rather than farming system approach

Depleting soil fertility

Imbalance use of chemical fertilizers

Rising costs and diminishing economic returns

Increasing infestation of insect-pest and disease complex

Decline in factor productivity

Shift in weed flora

Inadequate availability of quality seeds (including vegetables)

Fragmented small holdings

Lack of orientation in development department

4.9 Recommended interventions for the district with detailed Action Plans with costs
A comprehensive package of extension activities, site specific input management along with
infrastructural support (by means of special project) that are vital for increasing farm income,
productivity and employment and setting the ground for evolution of a Second Green Revolution
in the district is recommended herewith. The main ingredients of package are:

Capacity building and skill up-gradation of farmers to broaden their knowledge base

Propagating resource conservation technologies

Popularizing new technologies and farm practices through
introduction and
demonstration of area specific improved varieties and hybrids, demonstrations on INM,
IPM with a shift to focus from fertilizer nutrients and chemical usage per se to judicious
application

Organize, train and link farmers to domestic and international markets in Public Private
Partnership mode
For the field functionaries and the farmers, the whole set of activities boils down to extension
activities viz., trainings, demonstrations on quality seeds, INM, IPM, RCTs, soil and water
management, credit and market management etc. It is essential to make better use of given
research in a sustainable manner for increased production, productivity and employment
generation.

4.10SPECIFIC ONGOING PROJECTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURE
SECTOR
4.10.1. NATIONAL MISSION ON AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION AND
TECHNOLOGY (NMAET)
Introduction
The Centrally Sponsored Scheme “National Mission on Agricultural Extension and
Technology” is an ongoing scheme being implemented since 2005-06. The institutional
mechanism for extension under the Scheme has hitherto been as follows:

SAMETI is the State level institution catering to the training needs of extension
functionaries.

Responsible for coordination and management of agricultural extension related work in
the District.

Block Technology Team (BTT) consisting of line department representatives in the
Block.

Farmers Advisory Committees at Block level comprising a group of farmers to advise
and provide inputs to the BTT.
The work -pertaining to NMAET was mostly being looked after by officers of State Departments
as an additional charge. Moreover, the extension system below the Block level was not optimal.
Consequently, the implementation of the Scheme in the field could not show the desired impact.
The Scheme has now been modified and strengthened with a strong manpower, infrastructure
and activity as summarized below:
i.
Provision of specialist and functionary support at different levels viz. State Coordinator
and faculty & supporting staff for SAMETI at State level, Project Director, Deputy
Project: Directors and supporting staff at District level and Block Technology Manager
and Subject Matter Specialists at the Block level;
ii.
Innovative support through a „Farmer Friend‟ at Village Level @ 1 Farmer Friend per
two villages;
33
iii.
Revision in ATMA Cafeteria (i.e. list of extension related activities to choose from) to
include some additional activities and to provide for enhanced unit costs for some of the
activities;
iv.
Farmers Advisory Committees at State, District and Block levels comprising a group of
farmers to advise- and provide inputs to the administrative bodies at each level;
v.
Support to SAMETIs
vi.
Delegation of powers to State Level Sanctioning Committee (SLSCs), set up under
RashtriyaKrishiVikasYojana, to approve the State Extension Work Plan (SEWP)
prepared under the Extension Reforms Scheme.
OBJECTIVES:
The Revised Scheme shall focus on the following key objectives:

Providing innovative, restructured and autonomous institutions at the state/district/ block
level.

Encouraging multi-agency extension strategies involving Public/ Private Extension
Service Providers.

Ensuring an integrated, broad-based extension delivery mechanism consistent with
farming system approach.

Adopting group approach to extension in line with the identified needs and requirements
of the farmers in the form of CIGs & FIGs;

Facilitating convergence of programmes in planning, execution and implementation.

Addressing gender concerns by mobilizing farm women into groups and providing
training to them.

Moving towards sustainability of extension services through beneficiary contribution.

4.10.2. INTEGRATED SCHEME OF OILSEEDS, PULSES, OIL PALM & MAIZE
(ISOPOM)
Integrated Scheme of Oilseeds, Pulses, Oil Palm & Maize (ISOPOM) scheme was being
implemented from IstApril, 2004to provide flexibility to the statesto promote crop diversification
and focused approach.
The salient features of the ISOPOM are as under:
1. Flexibility to the states to utilize the funds for the scheme/crop of their choice.
2. Annual action plan to be formulated by the state governments for consideration and
approval of the government of India
3. Flexibility to the states for introducing innovative measures or any special component to
the extent of 10% of the financial allocation.
4. Involvement of private sector by the state government in the implementation of the
programme with a financial cap of 15%.
5. Flexibility for inter-component diversions of funds up to 20% for non-seed component
only.
6. Diversion of funds from seed components to non-seed components with the prior
approval of the department of Agriculture and Cooperation.
7. Increase under staff and contingency not permitted except by revision of pay scales and
increase in rate of Dearness Allowance with the prior approval of Department of
Agriculture and Cooperation.

4.10.3NATIONAL FOOD SECURITY MISSION
Introduction
National Development Council (NDC) in its 53rd meeting held on 29th May, 2007 adopted a
resolution to launch a Food Security Mission comprising rice, wheat and pulses to increase the
annual production of rice by 10 million tons, wheat by 8 million tons and pulses by 2 million
tons by the end of the Eleventh Plan (2011-12). Accordingly, a Centrally Sponsored Scheme,
'National Food Security Mission' (NFSM), was launched in October 2007. The Mission met with
an overwhelming success and achieved the targeted additional production of rice, wheat and
pulses. The Mission is being continued during 12th Five Year Plan with new targets of additional
production of food grains of 25 million tons of food grains comprising of 10 million tons rice, 8
million tons of wheat, 4 million tons of pulses and 3 million tons of coarse cereals by the end of
12th Five Year Plan: Based on past experience and feedback received from the States major
changes have been made in approach, norms of Financial assistance and programme
implementation strategy which are reflected in the revised operational guidelines.
National Food Security Mission (NFSM) during the 12th Five Year Plan will have five
components (i) NFSM- Rice; (ii) NFSM-Wheat; (iii) NFSM-Pulses, (iv) NFSM-Coarse cereals
and (v) NFSM Commercial Crops.
Objective
 Increasing production of rice, wheat, pulses and coarse cereals through area expansion.
 Productivity enhancement in a sustainable manner in the identified districts of the
country.
 Restoring soil fertility and productivity at the individual farm level
 Enhancing farm level economy (i.e. farm profits) to restore confidence amongst the
farmers.
43
3. Strategy
The Mission would adopt following strategies toachieveobjectives:
i.
Focus on low productivity and high potential districts including cultivation of food
grain crops in rain fed areas.
ii.
Implementation of cropping system centric interventions in a Mission mode approach
through active engagement of all the stakeholders at various levels.
iii.
Agro-climatic zone wise planning and cluster approach for -crop productivity
enhancement.
iv.
Focus on pulse production through utilization of rice fallow, rice bunds and
intercropping of pulses with coarse cereals, oilseeds and commercial crops
(sugarcane, cotton, jute).
v.
Promotion and extension of improved technologies i.e, seed, integrated nutrient
management (INM) including micronutrients, soil amendments, integrated pest
management (1PM), input use efficiency and resource conservation technologies
along with capacity building of the farmers/extension functionaries.
vi.
Close monitoring of flow of funds to ensure timely reach of interventions to the target
beneficiaries.
vii.
Integration of various proposed interventions and targets with the district plan of
identified district.
viii.
Constant monitoring and concurrent evaluation by the implementing agencies for
assessing the impact of the interventions for a result oriented approach.

4.10.4NATIONAL BAMBOO MISSION (NON FOREST AREA) OF DISTRICT JAMMU
Bamboo is the most versatile plant in India. It is traditionally considered as the “Poor man‟s
wood” and labeled as green gold is being considered a major expert item by the center for global
market, valued about Rs. 50000 crores. The annual turnover of the Bamboo Sector in the country
is estimated to the around Rs. 2500 crores. India has the largest area under Bamboo which is
estimated at around 9.6 million hectares with an average yield of 0.4 tonnes per hectare which is
very low as compared to other countries such as Japan, China and Malaysia. About 80% of the
world Bamboo comes from these countries while India having more than 100 different species
and bamboo has only about 4% share in global market. The Bamboo can be grown in
temperature ranging from 60C to 460C and rain fall 750 mm to 5000 mm. Since bamboo can be
grown in dry deciduous forest completely integrated in that system.
In Jammu and Kashmir, there is a wide scope of bamboo cultivation in Kandi belts of Jammu,
Kathua, Udhampur and Rajouri districts of Jammu province. In Jammu district, the blocks
namely: Khour, Dansal, Akhnoor, Marh, Bishnah and R.S.Pura have tremendous scope. The
domestic bamboo sector in Jammu district is faced with many constraints namely lack of
scientific methods of propagation and cultivation, lack of post harvest treatment and technology
for product development, inadequate trained manpower, inadequate infrastructure for large scale
harvesting in the event of gregarious flowering.
The cultivation of bamboo under National Bamboo Mission will give employment and alternate
source of livelihood to the skilled and un-skilled workers. The main objectives of Bamboo
mission are: to promote the growth of bamboo sector through an area based regionally
differentiated strategy, to increase the coverage of area under bamboo in potential areas with
improved varieties to enhance yield, to promote marketing of bamboo and bamboo based
handicrafts, to establish convergence and synergy among stakeholders for the development of
53
bamboo, to promote development and disseminate technologies through a seamless blend of
traditional wisdom and modern scientific knowledge and to generate opportunities for skilled
and unskilled persons, especially unemployed youths.
The key elements of the National Bamboo Mission are: Research and development for
sustainable development and new Bamboo Agri-forestry technique of technology generation,
establishment of new nurseries to raise bamboo seedlings, raising high yielding bamboo
plantation on commercial basis in Non-forest areas, renovation of fertile neglected bamboo
plantation, pest and disease management of Bamboo, handicrafts bamboo marketing and exports,
capacity building and HRD of farmers, field functionaries and others, new marketing strategy for
bamboo and establishment of Bamboo markets, Bamboo bazaars and retail outlets, meticulous
monitoring, evaluation and reporting database generation, compilation and analysis.

PROJECT-I
4.10.6.THE VEGETABLE INITIATIVE FOR URBAN CLUSTERS
Introduction
Vegetable Initiative for Urban Clusters
Government
has
approved
an
allocation
of
Rs.
300
crore
for
2011-12
under
RashtriyaKrishiVikasYojana for implementation of a Vegetable Initiative to set in motion a
virtuous cycle of production and income for the farmers and assured supply for consumers. To
begin with, this programme will be launched near major urban centers.
Enhancing production and productivity of Horticulture
India is fortunate to be endowed with a variety of agro-climatic zones and has a tradition of
growing a wide range of horticultural crops. Among the horticulture produce, vegetables have
the largest share of production (60.8 %). Vegetables not only contribute to the food basket of the
country but are also a highly remunerative crop, providing quick returns to the farmer per unit of
area. Production, productivity of crops and profitability of farmers can be enhanced by
encouraging 'off-season' production under protected cultivation in green houses, shade net
houses etc. for generating income round the year. Moreover, vegetables form the most important
component of a balanced diet.
Assured availability of affordable, safe and good quality vegetables
Availability of vegetables, particularly to the urban population, presents many challenges. Issues
such as assured availability of safe and good quality vegetables at affordable prices continue to
be a major challenge. Addressing this concern calls for concerted action on several fronts viz.
production, logistics covering post-harvest handling, storage, transportation, marketing,
distribution and policy reform. In this background, a special initiative for the development of
58
vegetables
has
been
mooted
with
100%
central
assistance
under
the
RashtriyaKrishiVikasYojana.
Coverage and Scope
The vegetable Initiative is proposed to cover one city in each State during the year 2011-12,
which is either the State capital or any other city with a population of over one million. In case,
in any State there is no city which satisfied this criteria, then other urban cluster closer to one
million populations will be selected for the purpose.
Objective
Main objectives of scheme are:
a) Addressing all concerns related to both the demand and supply side of the vegetable
sector in selected cities,
b) Enhancing vegetable production and productivity, improve nutritional security and
income support to vegetable farmers,
c) Encouraging establishment of an efficient supply chain thereby leading to employment
opportunities and incomes for intermediate service providers, and safe, good quality,
fresh as well as processed agri produce at competitive price for urban consumers.
d) Promote, developing and disseminating technologies for enhancing production and
productivity of vegetables in peri-urban areas of major cities.
e) Assisting States in addressing the entire value chain, right from the stage of preproduction to the consumers table through appropriate interventions.
f) Creating employment generation opportunities for skilled and unskilled persons,
especially unemployed youth.
59
1. Strategy
To achieve above objectives, the scheme will adopt the following strategies:
 Baseline survey to assess the extant vegetable supply chain,identify bottlenecks and
vegetable growing clusters, existing as well as potential.
 Organize vegetable growers into Farmers Association/Groups.
 Coordinate with public sector agencies/Municipal Corporations for making land available
for cultivation, and for farmers markets to ensure direct/transparent transaction of
produce.
 Identify/select aggregators and enable tie-up with Farmers Associations/Groups.
 Coordinate with ICAR/SAUs to provide improved varieties of vegetable seeds/seedlings
and to introduce innovative technologies as required.
 Addressing issues in the credit supply chain with support from NABARD.
 Measures for production and productivity enhancement by adopting improved cultivars,
production technologies using precision farming techniques, protected cultivation, micro
irrigation etc.
 Primary processing, sorting, grading, washing, packaging and value addition clusters.
 Logistics from farm to market including Post Harvest Management, Storage and
Transport infrastructure, Aggregators for suitable tie ups in the supply-chain
 Establishment of Farmers markets including Electronic platform for transparent
transactions.
 Support to urban bodies to promote controlled atmosphere, static/mobile Kiosks, vending
carts etc.

MUSHROOM DEVELOPMENT
Three types of Mushroom i.e. Button, Dingri and Milky Mushroom are grown in different
seasons of the year, thus making it possible to have cultivation of Mushroom round the
year.Agricultural residues can be easily used for their low cost bioconversion into mushroom, a
highly quality protein rich edible food. Mushroom production per unit area provides more
protein than any other crop.
Faster means of communication receptive farming community to innovative ideas of
subsidiary occupation, better purchasing power of people, easy marketability of produce are
some other factors which suggest that mushroom farming has better future in Jammu District.
But the limiting factor is that Agriculture Department cannot meet the requirement of spawn as
more farmers are coming forward ¾ of the requirement is being met from H.P and other
adjourning states.
Budgetary Provision
To boost the production of mushroom Compost pasteurization units under controlled
conditions, Canning units and establishment of some spawn production units have been
proposed.67 new mushroom units have been proposed for establishing for unemployed youth
during 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 with financial assistance of 50.50 lacs. Moreover 99 old
mushroom units will be strengthen during this plan period with the financial implications of
24.85 lacs. Thus, the financial assistance to tune of Rs.75.35 lakh have been proposed under this
scheme.

DEVELOPMENT OF APICULTURE AS AN ADDITIONAL INCOME SOURCE
Bee keeping has emerged as an important sector for diversification. It not only provides a
nutritious and healthy food in the form of honey and other products but also improves quality of
produce. Apart from direct economic benefits in the form of honey and bee wax. Bees as a
pollinator help to increase yield of major agricultural, horticultural and forest crops. 85% of crop
plants are cross pollinated as crop needs to receive pollen from other plants of the same species
with the help of honey bees. Increase in Yield of various crops due to pollination by honey bees
ranges from 20-100%.
The demand for honey has increased considerably but there is still wide gap between
consumption and production. Beekeeping as a village Industry is of considerable national
importance. The raw material required for this industry is nectar and pollen from the flowers of
different plant species.
Budgetary Provision
The farmers of this district are practicing Beekeeping as subsidiary occupation. There is great
scope for expansion of this sector due to presence of vast flora in district Jammu. To increase
honey production, employment generation among unemployed youth and increase yield of cross
pollinated crop, the 133 physical activities has been proposed for the years 2014-15, 2015-16 and
2016-17 with financial requirement of Rs 26.90lacs.

INSTALLATION OF BOWER SYSTEM IN VEGETABLES
Young plants require support to keep their youngshoots growing upright, since the new shoots
are delicate. Forcommercial crop, plants are trained on a bower system. In theinitial stages the
plants are supported by stakes so that theygrow straight to the bower system and spread their
branches.Tendrils of these plants are long and elastic with coil like springycharacters and they
will coil on the G.I. wire of the bower system.Presently vegetable growers are cultivating this
vegetable inlarger areas and exporting their produce to citiesand farmers getting very
remunerative prices for their produce. Bower system is preparedwith the help of iron angles (7' x
2") and galvanized ironwire of 10 gauge and 16 gauge diameter.
Budgetary Provision
To promote vegetable cultivation of cucurbits and to get maximum benefit by saving the crop for
longer period, bower system is a new training technique. Under this project, 15 unit will be
installed in the plan period 2014-15 to 2016-17. The financial requirement for this scheme will
be Rs. 45.60 lacs.

STRENGTHENING OF SEED MULTIPLICATION FARMS
To achieve significant enhancement in productivity of different crops, genetic
enhancement through varietal improvement has been the main focus in national and state public
and private institutions. Many improved varieties/ hybrids have been developed and released by
both public and private sectors for the benefit of the farmers. It has been demonstrated in
majority of the crops, that quality seed of improved varieties results in yield increase more than
25-30%.However, there is wide gap between demand and supply of quality seed in the district.
As a result seed replacement rate continues to be much below (14-15%) the desired level of 25
and 30% in self and cross pollinated crops respectively. Most of the private sector companies
concentrate on high cost low volume seeds grown by large farmers on limited scale. All this lead
to non- availability of quality seeds to the farmers as per the requirement at the time of sowing.
Alternatively, the farmers uses his own farm produce as seeds which are vigorous less and have
less productivity.

To mitigate these problems, the department of agriculture should strengthen their own
seed multiplication farms so the huge demands of the farmers can be met. In the tables given
below, the proposed seed demand in rabi and kharif seasons of the farmers is projected. Thus
under RKVY scheme, an amount of Rs. 52.50 should be provided to department of agriculture so
that basic necessities of seed production farms will be fulfilled.

AGRICULTURE BUSINESS CENTRES
It is public private partnership to improve/refine locally available resources and produce
goods that are acceptable nationally. The lack of adequate and remunerative employment
opportunities in rural areas has led to large scale migration from rural areas to urban areas, as
there is slack season between two Agriculture seasons when farming community remain idle.
Objectives

To create Centres of rural excellence to spur entrepreneurship

To reduce dependence on farm sector

Promote enterprises that continuously generates employment opportunities

To develop zones of prosperity for rural areas, reduce migration etc.

WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
The demand for water needs for different purposes may increase thereby the water
availability for agriculture may come down from 70 per cent at present to 250 % by 2025 AD.
More over increase in irrigated area has become imperative to enhance the overall agricultural
production in order to meet the demand of food, fire and fodder for the growing populations. In
this regard, the former Hon‟ble President of India Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam in his address to the
Legislative Assembly on the 50 years of formation of Karnataka also emphasized efficient
management of water resources for enhancing the agricultural production. In addition, there is a
need to improve the water productivity through efficient and conservative management of water
resources.
Rain water harvesting is collection and storage of excess rain water and activities like
harvesting surface water, prevention of losses through evaporation and seepage etc. Harvested
rain water can be used directly or recharged into ground water.
Budgetary Provision
Large No. of existing water storage system i.e storage water tanks/ponds exist in Jammu
District which
have been fallen to misuse due to accumulation of silt or may require urgent
repairs for life saving irrigation to the crops with appropriate gradient for storage of water and
providing irrigation to crops by gravity system. Constructions of 09 new water harvesting tanks
have been proposed for remaining period 12th F.Y Plan period with financial assistance of Rs
180lacs. The Ground water will be utilized by construction of dug/bore/tubewells in areas where
there is scarcity of irrigation water at tail ends. Moreover management of ground water with
surface water with the objective of supplementing surface water and controlling rise of ground
water on the other hand to avoid water logged, salinity, Alkalinity etc. But strategy would be
such which will exploit ground water to thresh hold level and will not lower water table. In those
areas where there is not canal water, bore wells will be installed at 45 locations in different rainfed blocks of district. The financial requirement fpr installation of bore wells will be Rs 90 lacs.

Sixty seven (67) No. of Shallow Bore Wells and 48 no of water harvesting tanks have been
proposed during the project period involving the financial implication of Rs 53.00lacs.

FORMATION OF SELF HELP GROUPS
The land area available for cultivation is limited and is under the pressure of population
growth. The viability of small and marginal agricultural holdings has always been a major issue
in J&K Agriculture. There are 1,26,389 land holdings in Jammu district, out of which 1,16,360
are in marginal and small category which is 92 % of the total holdings. The increased number of
small holdings makes it necessary to focus on them as the future harbingers of change and
instructions of growth. Experts in the field have time and again suggested group farming
approach (cluster farming or farmer‟s consortia, etc.) to overcome the constraint of the small size
of agricultural holdings. The state must reorient its agricultural extension strategy to promote „a
group farming approach‟ at the village level to overcome this problem. In each village, groups of
farmers numbering :between 10-20 willing to take-up cultivation of similar crops (activities like
poultry farming, goat rearing, bee keeping, mushroom production etc.) needs to be formed and
trained to act as a group in accessing credit technology, inputs and marketing services.
Individuals in the group may adopt the group approach for one or two common crops grown by
them even if each of them cultivates several crops. Thus there could be vegetable groups,
floriculture groups; poultry farmers‟ groups etc depending upon which activities in a village can
benefit the farmers most by adopting the group approach.
Each group can be attached to a credit institution like a bank branch or a cooperative
society which will assess and meet the credit needs of the group depending upon the common
crops or activities of the group. The group can also access insurance services for their common
crops to protect them against risks of crop failure. The group approach will enable farmers to
access professional/technical services of consultants as it will be viable for them to pay for such
services collectively. Extension services of the Department of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry,
Sericulture, etc. can be provided more easily to groups with common crops or activities instead
75
of addressing individual farmers separately. Also groups of farmers can purchase or hire on
custom hiring basis agricultural machinery and equipment required for their common crops.
Each farmer‟s group can have a tie-up with a marketing firm through contract farming or
can market their produce on their own by accessing transport, storage, and packaging services
collectively. Farmer‟s groups will be able to designate more literate and knowledgeable members
among them to perform tasks like book keeping and negotiation of contracts. This will eliminate
the exploitative role played by several middlemen in the supply of credit and inputs and
marketing of produce. While acting in a group, farmers are better equipped to face various risks
and this will greatly help in reducing distress on the part of farmers. Groups can also mobilize
individual farmers for various socially beneficial activities like shramadan, cultural programmes,
village festivals etc. would increase a sense of self worth among members making them less
prone to depressions.
RashtriyaKrishiVikasYojana also endorses special schemes for beneficiaries of land
reforms under which project based assistance will be given in the stream I funds. Assistance will
be available for improving the net minimum income of this category of beneficiaries.
Beneficiaries of land reforms are usually small and marginal farmers. Making their agriculture
viable will be possible only when capital investments on land development, irrigation, high
technology infrastructure in emerging areas such as floriculture, horticulture, seed production,
etc are made. Specific projects for groups of such beneficiaries can be taken up with provision
for common infrastructure. In addition, it also insists Strengthening of Market Infrastructure and
marketing development with assistance for setting up of cool storages, cool chains, godowns,
formation of farmer‟s S.H.Gs, setting up collection centre etc.
With encouragement and support from the NABARD many financial institutions are
organizing SHGs of Women and BPL households to help them avail of micro finance facilities.
This has contributed greatly to the empowerment of women in the rural areas.
76
The Department of agriculture plans to adopt the policy of promoting farmers‟ groups on
a large scale in all the villages of Jammu district to obtain for the farmers with small holdings the
benefits of medium and large scale farming. This is likely to revolutionize agriculture in the
district by empowering farmers to access credit, technology and inputs on more favorable terms
and to act strongly in marketing their produce for obtaining more remunerative prices.
As a suitable incentive for the formation and the operation of farmers‟ group, each
farmer‟s group is proposed to be given an initial working capital/revolving fund/Seed Money for
Rs. 10,000/- subject to their contributing amount of Rs. 10,000 towards the initial capital. In
return, the Department with start distributing its entire subsidy oriented programmes through
these groups.
Budgetary Provision
There are 780 villages in Jammu District and it is proposed to have onegroups in each
village. If, an amount of Rs. 10,000 per group is provided as seed money/revolving fund then the
budget required would be Rs. 78.00 lacs during the project period to operationalise the scheme.
With this almost all the villages can be brought into SHGs in next three years w.e.f 2014-15 to
2016-17.

AGRICULTURE MECHANIZATION
Farm machinery and implements are indispensable to derive the benefit of costly inputs
like Hybrid seeds, fertilizer and irrigation. The machinery is required right from proper land
preparation, seeding, fertilizer application, spraying insecticides and pesticides, harvesting,
thrashing and safe storage.The level of mechanization has been increasing in the country
progressively. The progress of mechanization in our state is low due to low level of literacy in
rural areas, lack of awareness, poor economic condition, fragmentation and small holdings,
leading to limitation for farm mechanization. Due to low level of mechanization to the desired
level, there is sufficient scope for its up gradation. To boost the mechanization and improve the
mechanical power in DistrictJammu, following tools and equipments have been proposed.

Combine Harvesters.

Rotavators.

Zero till Seed drill.


INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (FARMERS FIELD SCHOOL)
To avoid large scale use of chemicals in plant protection, emphasis and thrust has been
given on an integrated approach involving alternative technologies and options available to keep
pest population below economic thrash hold level, use of chemicals as a last option for pest
control.
Broad strategy for integrated pest and disease management (IPM) consist of following:
Use of Resistant Varieties / Tolerant to pests/ diseases.

Cultural practices like summer ploughing and destruction of stubbles/ crop residues.

Trimming of bunds, proper preparation and leveling of fields.

Timely sowing, proper crop geometry, seed treatment, proper soil, water and weed management,
rotation with non host. Crops, harvesting of crop at right stage and under right conditions and
raising trap crops as border/ intercrop.

Regular monitoring of pest situation viz i.e. their natural enemies (Insects, rodents, pathogens
etc.) weather, cultural and field conditions are essential to observe pests build up for taking
rational decisions .Use of pheromone traps , light traps needs to be promoted for monitoring
pest population.
Mechanical Control:- Collection and destruction of egg masses ,larva, adults, use of light traps
for trapping adults of insects which are attracted towards light, , dragging trenches around fields
Biological control practices.
Conservation:-Bio-control agents such as Spiders, Damselflies, Dragonflies, Meadow,
Grasshoppers, Beetles, Cocinellides.
Defender ratio: 2:1 may be useful to avoid application of pesticides.
80
Need based judicious and safe application of pesticides is the most vital tripartite
segments of chemical control measures under the ambit of IPM. It involves developing IPM
units to play safe with environmentally proper crop health monitoring, observing ETL and
conserving, natural bio-control agents before deciding in favour of use of chemical pesticides as
last resort.
Farmer Field School (FFS)
FFS is a school without walls where major components of crop production technology
are brought to the notice of farmers and extension workers with laying major emphasis on the
principles of growing healthy crops and conservation of general crop ecology.
The objective of farmers field school is to enlighten the farmers for adopting various crop
production technologies during different stages of crop growth (i.e. Crop Phenology) from land
preparation to harvest with optimal use of different inputs providing economically sustainable
harvest.
Composition of Farmers Field School
FFS should be organized at least in 40 ha. of compact area or adopt whole village in
major crops or 10 ha. in case of Oilseeds, Vegetables & Pulses. This adopted area serves as
Farmers learning school in the selected village.
30 Farmer trainees and 5 extension officer trainees (AEOs and JAAs)at each school will
meet once a week in & at demonstration site for at least 4 hours for a period of 8-12 weeks or till
the maturity of crop. This will make them learn and apply latest/basic crop production skills
enabling them to make informed, confident and field management decisions.
A Core Training Team (CTT) of 3-5 master trainers shall be wholly responsible for
running these schools. The master trainers can be SMS (DL), SAU scientist and other specialist
available. This core training team shall visit the FFS on the specific day scheduled in advance.
81
The details of Farmer‟s Field School are as under:Farmers Field School will start at the earliest time i.e. 7 A.M or depending upon the farmer
trainees whenever they can spare their time conveniently.

Agro Ecosystem analysis: The core of weekly process, each farmer group comprising of 5-6
farmers to get their field samples and notes to create a visual combining key factors such as
Plant health, Field conditions, weather and current crop management treatment.

Decision making: The output analysis is a field management decision will thoroughly be
discussed both within and across groups.

Special Topics: These topics are linked to crop stage and to specific local problems. The topics
covered include rat control, crop physiology, health and safety, water/ fertilizer/ pesticides
management and economic analysis.

Group Dynamics: Activities in problem solving, communication leadership and team building
are also conducted weekly to strengthen crop cohesion and maintain motivation.

Conclusion Monitoring on going Field Lab Experiments: Each field School managing the
earmarked area of 40 ha shall have a comparison with a local package. Progress of the field
management actions are plotted or compared weekly in agro ecosystem analysis activity and
final yield and economic analysis is done by the group.

Yield Analysis: At the end of 8-12 weeks or crop harvest the yield analysis on cost benefit ratio
basis is done and thus the results achieved will show the efficiency of the farmers field School.

Organization of farmers’ field days: All expert members of core training team, extension
Officer Trainees and farmer trainees of different FSSs under one CTT shall meet on farmer‟s
field day to deliberate and review the FSSs as a whole.
82

Activity:
Preparation of Block level plans for Marh, R.S. Pura, Bishnah, AKhnoor,
Dansal, Bhalwal, Satwari and Khour Blocks of Jammu District of Jammu &
Kashmir
Sub-Activity:
1
To conduct the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) at village level in
identifiedpanchayats of Marh, R.S. Pura, Bishnah, AKhnoor, Dansal, Bhalwal,
Satwari and Khour Blocks of Jammu District.
2
To collect primary data on agriculture and allied activities of each panchayat
under selected blocks of Jammu district through suitable sampling design.
3
To prepare soil maps of each panchayat after testing soil for both macro and
micro nutrients.
4
To analyse the data for conducting SWOT analysis of agriculture and allied
activities of each panchayat under selected blocks of Jammu district.
Introduction and background:
Jammu is situated around river Tawi and is bound by Udhampur district in the north and north
east, Samba district in the east and south east, Pakistan (Sialkote) in the west and Rajouri district
in the northwest. It is located 740 24' and 750 18' east longitude and 320 50' and 330 30' north
latitude. The district falls under sub-mountainous region. The Shivalik ranges rise gradually from
behind the Jammu town and merge the Indo Gangetic Plains in the South spreading over an area
of 2336 sq.kms (2011 census). The total area of Jammu district is 2342 square kilometers (census
2011). In 2011-12, the net area sown was 0.91 lakh hectare. Adding to it, the area sown more
than once which was of the order of 0.951 lakh hectare. The gross cultivated area works out to be
1.857 lakh hectare.
Targets:
The Block Level Plan is the prerequisite of RKVY scheme and since there is not a single
block in Jammu district for which such plan has been framed till date, it is very important to
87
collect data at panchayat level and make block level plans for making effective any government
scheme through block centric approach. The emphasis will be laid on the following aspects:
 To have a comprehensive data at panchayat level for each block of Jammu district (in this
case Marh, R.S. Pura, Bishnah, AKhnoor, Dansal, Bhalwal, Satwari and Khour
blocks) regarding agriculture and allied activities including cropping pattern and
economics of different enterprises.
 To identify shortcomings and need of farmers at panchayat level in agriculture and allied
sectors and make recommendations for fulfilling the same.
 To have well defined soil maps at panchayat level for effective implementation of soil
fertility management programmes.
Expected outcome:
 A precise book on Block Level Plan for each block which will act as a guide for future
government programmes and schemes.
 Identification of farm level changes in light of globalization and changing climatic
conditions.

The bio-diversity of the state of Jammu and Kashmir is un-matched due to the presence
of different agro-climatic zones viz. Low altitude sub-tropical, Mid to high altitude intermediate,
Mid to high altitude temperate and Cold arid zone. Jammu is located 740 24‟ and 750 18‟ East
longitude and 320 15‟ and 330 30‟ North latitude. The characteristic features of subtropical
region are: height ranges from less than 300 meters to nearly 800 meters above mean sea level.
Agriculture is subsistence type. Nearly 70 per cent of the population in the state derives its
livelihood directly and indirectly from agriculture and allied sector (Anonymous, 2006-07). The
favorable agro-climatic conditions, fertile soils and sub tropical climate are ideally suited for
cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants in the subtropical Jammu district.
91
Unfortunately, the rich herbal wealth of the area abounds in has, over the years, fallen
prey to unscientific and continuous extraction from the wild habitat with no efforts for their
conservation and promotion of cultivation. A number of species are now at the brink of
extinction. If the present state of affairs is allowed to go unchecked, the valuable germplasm will
be lost for all times to come. Agricultural Technology Management Agency has already been
launched in the district and with the preparation of Strategic Research and Extension Plan
(SREP), the stress should be on the cultivation and sustainable use of medicinal plants.
Therefore, it is imperative that a service window for growers, collectors, entrepreneurs,
manufactures and exporters should be strengthened.
Approximately 90 per cent of plants are still collected from their natural habitats for their
use in traditional and modern therapies, specifically in J & K state, where medicinal and
aromatic plants are collected through open access and auction system. Sometimes this kind of
indiscriminate/unscientific harvesting may put many species under extinct/endangered/
threatened category. Many species have been put on the negative list of exports by Ministry of
Commerce, Govt. of India due to their scarce availability and increasing demand for their parts,
especially for export.
It has been estimated that nearly one third of India‟s plant species are endemic or near
endemics, that is to say that these are not found outside India or they have only marginal
presence outside our country. The International Union for Conservation of Natural Resources
(IUCN) has published a compilation of threatened plants of the world in 1997, which enlists
more than 34,000 vascular plant species in the threatened category, suggesting that across the
globe, nearly 12.5 per cent of known flowering plants are threatened with extinction
(WHO,IUCN, WWF, 1993). In the absence of any systematic assessment of such threatened
medicinal plant species of India, it may be reasonable to extend the same proportion (12.5 per
cent) to the 6200 medicinal plant species enlisted in India. This suggests that about 744
medicinal plant species of India may be threatened with extinction and more than 300 of these
are likely to be endemics or near endemics. To rapidly assess and identify such threatened
medicinal plant species and develop focused conservation strategy is one of the major challenges
facing conservationists in India. Since around 90 per cent of India's flowering plant diversity is
estimated to exist in our forests, the action for conservation of our medicinal plant resources has
92
to take place in forest habitats and this will also need the full support of local communities who
reside in and near the forests. Conservation programs should be designed to simultaneously
support projects for the revitalization of indigenous health cultures because biodiversity and
cultural diversity have a symbiotic relationship and the loss of one will eventually lead to the loss
of the other.
Their traditional knowledge about medicinal plant resources are of enormous
contemporary relevance to India and to the global community as they hold three promises viz., i)
they can enhance health security for millions of rural and urban households and their
domesticated livestock who can use ecosystem specific medicinal plants for their primary health
care needs, ii) medicinal plants can provide thousands of new, safe, effective and high quality
natural products for nutraceutical, cosmoceutical and pharmaceutical applications (40,000
traditional herbal formulations are documented in traditional medical texts and tens of thousands
are used in folklore), iii) traditional knowledge concepts related to drug discovery and biological
properties of plants can make original, intellectual contributions to the world of medicine.
Moreover there is need for documentation, authentication and validation of several uses
of medicinal plants for different diseases in addition to production of genetically superior
phenotypes. There are 4.6 lakh registered practitioners of ISM but never documented. If we take
the case of snake bite, scorpion bite vaid says that there is a good traditional medicines available
but will not reveal the name for a strange reason that the medicine will not be effective. The
probable plant may be Sarpagandha (Ravolfiaserpentina). There are another hundreds of such
treatments but without documentation that needed immediate attention.
Documentation of the diverse ethno-botanical knowledge of healthcare and its validation
culminating in region specific herbal pharmacoepias is an important intervention to support
health and livelihood security needs of rural communities. So far, most ethnobotanical surveys
have been carried out by individuals, rather than by institutions. If the useful information of
traditional peoples is to be documented before it is too late, ethnobotanical activities must be
broadened and accelerated. To do this, the primary responsibility should move from the
individual researchers to selected institutions, who can then provide the support, encouragement,
coordination and implementation that are needed. Very few institutions are presently involved in
registration of ITKs and improved varieties namely NBPGR, CSIR and CIMAP and with the
93
similar sort of efforts by KRISHI VIGYAN KENDRA Jammu the possible ITKs of important
medicinal and aromatic plants shall be documented for upliftment of the farmers/tribal
community of the Jammu district.
Hence, the present project is proposed with the following objectives:
1. Collection, ex-situ conservation and establishment of model herbal Garden of medicinal
plant species for demonstration to farming community of Jammu region of J&K state.
The germplasm of different medicinal species will be collected from natural habitat of the
species, government/private agencies/local collections from different parts of the districts as
well as from other universities of the country and accessions through NBPGR.The
germplasm will be maintained in the form of ex-situ conservation unit/model herbal garden at
KVK Jammu. Training and demonstrations of MAP‟s will be carried out for promotion of
cultivation of MAP‟s in the district.
2. Documentation of indigenous technology knowledge (ITKs) of important medicinal
plants of the district.
The traditional knowledge related to the use of locally available planting material vesting
with the people of district will be documented for conservation of intellectual property.
3. Standardization of agro techniques of valuable medicinal plants, production of
genetically superior planting material of commercially importance and their further
promotion and cultivation by farmers in Jammu region.
Selected MAP‟s that have commercial value after proper screening will be taken for
standardization of their agro-techniques. After standardization of agro techniques according
to the climate of the district later production of genetically superior quality planting material
will be carried out in the nursery developed at KVK, Jammu for eventual planting out at the
farmer‟s field. Further through demonstrations and proper training of the extension
functionaries, farmers and promotion and cultivation of MAP‟s will be carried out
4. Relevance of the proposal to agriculture and rural sector:
The project entitled “Establishment of Herbal garden cum facilitation centre of medicinal
plants at KrishiVigyan Kendra, Jammu” J&K is an attempt to conserve and promote cultivation
of the medicinal and aromatic plants in the district. Keeping in view the present scenario and
resurgence of global interest in the plant based products, conservation and promotion of
94
cultivation of important medicinal plants species as a part of farming system is the need of the
hour. In order to develop cultivation of potential species in the Jammu division of Jammu and
Kashmir state, the medicinal plant garden comprising of trees, shrubs, herbs and climbers etc. are
required to be established in all the agro-climatic zones. This herbal garden unit shall serve as
centre for education, demonstration, reference and service functions to those entrepreneurs and
individuals engaged in the pharmaceutical industry and also who volunteer to take up the
cultivation of medicinal plants. The present project proposal aims at collection, ex-situ
conservation and establishment of species in Herbal garden in sub-tropical and intermediate zone
of J&K state for the purpose of education and demonstration to officials of the state
development, farmers, students of colleges/schools and NGO‟s of Jammu district. The
establishment of a nursery will meet the growing demand of quality planting material to the
farmers of the area who are interested to take up cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants.
Registering and recording of ITKs (Indigenous technology knowledge) will help in protection of
intellectual property rights of the local people and tribal‟s of the area for future.
Since there is no such facilitation center exist in the district that will act as service window to
the farming community as well as field functionaries and students, the investigations thus
revolves around this aspect i.e. conservation, trainings on cultivation of medicinal and aromatic
plants, documentation of indigenous technology knowledge, production of genetically superior
quality planting material as well as its distribution to interested farmers.Hence the project is
proposed to conserve important medicinal and aromatic plants existing in the district and
providing a fully operational service window to the farming community in the shape of technical
guidance and supply of genetically superior planting material along with recording of intellectual
property related to their traditional uses.

Introduction and Background
The programme has been launched during 2003-04 at 100 per cent central assistance for
the integrated Development of Horticulture in North Eastern States and Jammu and Kashmir.
The Technology Mission was to be completed into four mission modes:
Mini Mission I
: Technology Development (Research)
Mini Mission II
: Production Enhancement
Mini Mission III
: Post Harvest Management and Marketing
Mini Mission IV
: Processing
Centrally Sponsored Scheme on Technology Mission for Integrated Development of
Horticulture in North East and Himalayan States has been renamed as Horticulture Mission for
North East and Himalayan States (HMNEH) during 2010-11. The scheme was being
implemented in a mission mode with an end-to-end approach which includes development and
introduction of high yielding varieties and technologies, expansion of area, post harvest handling
and management, marketing, value addition and processing of horticulture produce with
following four Mini Missions, namely:
Mini Mission I - Research: Coordinated and implemented by Indian Council of Agricultural
Research. This Mini Mission concentrates on technology generation appropriate to the region.
Major components under MM-I are supply of basic seed and planting material, technology
standardization, refinement, on farm demonstration and training.
Mini Mission II - Production and Productivity: Coordinated by Department of Agriculture &
Cooperation and implemented by State Departments of Horticulture/Agriculture. This mini
mission aims at increasing production and productivity of Horticulture crops by adoption of
improved production Technologies.
Mini Mission III - Post-Harvest Management and Marketing: Coordinated by Department of
Agriculture & Cooperation, implemented by Directorate of Marketing & Inspection and National
Horticulture Board. This Mini Mission aims for efficient post-harvest management, techniques,
which include development of cold storage facilities, efficient transport and marketing facilities.
Mini Mission IV - Processing: Coordinated and implemented by Ministry of Food Processing
Industries, Government of India. This Mini Mission aims at promoting processing industry for
value addition to Horticultural produce by promoting ne w processing units and up gradation of
existing units.
With implementation of Horticulture Mission in J&K, there has been a significant improvement
in production and productivity which has ultimately resulted in changing the financial scenario
of the farming community. Besides economic upliftment, Horticulture Mission has directly and
indirectly contributed for social reforms.
99
The Technology Mission Mini-Mission-II which is in progress in Kashmir Division and the
major activities in this Mission are to increase production with the integration of marketing and
export through area expansion under vegetables, Floriculture, Mushroom and Apiculture
development Programmes. The supporting activities such as creation of water resources through
community tanks, developing quality planting material of high yielding cultivars, poly green
houses, human resource development, organic farming forms part of the Mini-Mission-II.
Impact assessment of public agricultural research has always been viewed as an important
activity to ensure accountability, maintain credibility, and improve internal decision-making
processes and the capacity to learn from past experience. Impact assessment is a critical
component of agricultural research in that it helps to define priorities of research and facilitate
resource allocation among programs, guide researchers and those involved in technology transfer
to have a better understanding of the way new technologies are assimilated and diffused into
farming communities, and show evidence that clients benefit from the research products
(Manyong et al. 2001). In view of declining funds for agricultural research and the need for
stronger accountability in recent years, there is now a much greater demand not only for
demonstrating the actual impacts of research but also for maximizing impacts through targeting
research benefits to poor people. Assessing the impact of agricultural research can assist with
setting priorities, providing feedback to the research programs, and demonstrating actual benefits
of the products of agricultural research. Towards this end, many national and international
agricultural research centers have institutionalized impact assessment.
In this proposed study an attempt would be made to find out the impact of Horticulture
Technology Mini Mission Mode in context of research, change in production and productivity,
income pattern of the beneficiaries and also the constraints and limitation of the mission.

Introduction and background
India has made fairly good progress on the horticulture map of the world and is today the
second largest producer of fruits accounting for 10 % of the total fruit production in the world.
However, the productivity of these fruits is significantly low as compared to other fruit growing
countries. This is mainly due to improper water and nutrientmanagement that lowers down the
soil quality and water productivity of orchards, especially in dryland areas. The productivity of
dryland orchards is based on effective utilization of water and fertilizer/manure resources along
with other agricultural inputs. In rainfed/dryland orchards, rain is the only natural source of water
which is erratic with unprecedented frequent draughts affecting fruit production in these areas.
Hence, there is need to harvest rain water for utilization during the critical periods of fruit
growth. Besides, the meager amount of rainfall in dryland orchards necessitates developing or
adopting some management techniques / practices for enhancing the water productivity which
will further help in raising nutrient use efficiency thereby enhancing fruit production.
In dryland areas the orchard soils are getting depleted of nutrients due to nonreplenishment of nutrients removed from the soil resulting in degrading soil quality. The capacity
of orchard soils to be productive depends on more than just plant nutrients. Availability of water
is one of the main parameters other than the plant nutrients that influence soil fertility. Some
soils are inherently productive because they can store and make available sufficient amounts of
water and nutrients to plants. But the soils of dryland areas do not come under this category as
these soils have poor nutrient and available water content. Therefore, in order to reveal the
behavior of these soils to various nutrient applications, there is a need to emphasis on using the
concept of soil quality as a sensitive and dynamic way to document the condition of orchard
soils, the way they respond to management changes, and their resilience to stress.
Undulating topography, poor soil fertility status, deep and scarce ground water level are
the main characteristics of dryland areas of district Samba. Hence, the yield of fruit crops
obtained in these areas is uneconomic. Although, the soils of these areas have high potential for
the production of fruits but more frequent dry spells in these areas coupled with unawareness
about the orchard management by farmers have a detrimental influence over quality and yield of
fruits.
104
Keeping the above mentioned facts in consideration, the present project has been framed
with the following objectives:
1. Soil quality enhancement through integrated plant nutrient supply system and land
management practices in dryland orchards.
2. Improving water productivity of the orchards by evolving efficient, improved, viable and
area/location specific water conservation techniques
3. Demonstrations and on-farm trainings to the farmers about integrated plant nutrient
supply system, land management practice and water conservation techniques with
farmers participation.
4. Taking feedback from the farmers and calculating the adaptability count.
Rationale
Most of the orchards in Jammu region are situated in dryland areas and have low
productivity. The main reasons for low productivity of these orchards are low soil fertility and
soil moisture content. Thus in these orchards, emphasis should be given to soil water conservation
and nutrient management which consequently increases productivity of these orchards.
Furthermore, these soils are getting depleted of nutrients because of the non-replenishment of the
nutrients removed from soil.Besides, farmers of the area are totally unaware of the orchard
management practices which primarily include nutrient management and water conservation
techniques/ practices to enhance soil quality and water productivity.
As such, in order to increase the fruit production and improve the economic condition of
the farmers of dryland areas, there is a need to educate them about the soil quality and water
productivity enhancement of dryland orchards through exposure field visits, trainings and
demonstrations.
Crops: Mango, Aonla, Citrus, Guava and Falsa

CHAPTER-V
5.0 SPECIFIC ALLIED SECTOR PROJECTS
5.1 HORTICULTURE SECTOR
Horticulture has gained its significance in J&K State due to availability of enormous potential
and varied agro climatic and topographic status for production of diversified fruits. For
development of healthy society in rural as well as urban areas of the State cent % of the
population finds their dependence on Horticulture produce or its value added products. As such,
Horticulture development is a main stay for overall growth and development of a rural and urban
population of the State. It is considered a potential labour intensive sector which provides raw
material for various processing industries. Fruits have now become an important ingredient of
the daily diet both in rural as well as in urban homes. A fruit bowel as a nutritional security with
a combination of wide range of fruits has become daily addition to the dining tables. Added
advantage of being low calorie food has placed the fruits and its value added products in high
esteem of young boys and girls. Horticulture crops add more income per unit area at lower costs
with lesser requirements of water than field crops. Thus shift in emphasis towards diversification
of agriculture, the farmers are taking up cultivation of fruit crops. Reasonably good income from
orchard has sustained the interest of growers and more and more farmers are diverting to
horticulture crops.
Jammu district is bordered on one side with district Samba and other side with Reasi and Rajouri
districts. The district comprises of four tehsils viz, Jammu, R.S. Pura, Akhnorr and Bishnah
which are further divided into eight blocks namely R.S.Pura, Bishnah, Satwari, Marh, Khour,
Akhnoor, Balwal and Dansal.
108
The climate of the district is sub-tropical and average maximum and minimum
temperature ranges 400C to 40C. Average annual rainfall varies 1000-1500 mm which is mostly
distributed throughout the year; however 70 per cent of rainfall occurs during monsoon viz July
to September. The canal as well as tube well irrigation is available in R.S. Pura, Bishnah, MArh
and some parts of Khour block where cultivation of fruit crops like Mango, Litchi, Guava,
Kinnow, Peach etc can be taken up successfully. In other blocks of the district i.e., Khour,
Akhnoorand Dansal there is no assured irrigation since the areas are rainfed and fall under kandi
belt. These belts have greater resource of surface water in form of run-off, natural streams and
springs. Such rain water can be harnessed by construction of check dams and water harvesting
tanks etc. and can be effectively utilized for irrigation purpose.
The areas under orchard in Jammu district ending 2012-13 is 12072.60hectare with
production of 13761.75 M.T. Presently different developmental schemes are under
implementation in the district providing benefit to the farming community and boosting the
production and productivity of horticulture crops.

An opportunity has been provided through the introduction of centrally sponsored
RashatriyaKrishiVikasYojana (RKVY) under National Agriculture Development Plan (NADP)
in the State of J&K for augmentation of integrated development of horticulture by pooling the
same with development activities already under implementation for overall development of the
horticulture sector in the district.
Previously many programmes and schemes have been launched by the State as well as
the Central Governments for the growth of the horticulture sector which included area
development programmes, Plant protection schemes, Boarder Area Development Programmes,
and other State as well as Centrally Sponsored Schemes. At present, following schemes are
under implementation in the district Jammu.
i)
District Plan Schemes
a)
Development of horticulture in dry land and hilly areas
b)
Development of minor fruits including (Strawberry cultivation)
c)
Top working of Wild and inferior fruit plants
ii)
State Sector Schemes
a) Strengthening of Departmental Nurseries cum orchards
b) Demonstration/introduction of new fruit crops
iii)
Centrally Sponsored Scheme
Horticulture Technology Mission is currently under implementation since 2003-04
which covers almost all the basic requirements for growth of horticulture.
111
OBJECTIVES:
1.
To up-lift the socio-economic status of the farming community in particular and other
masses in general.
2.
Sustainable increase in production and productivity of all the horticulture crops.
3.
To provide opportunities for employment generation through creation of afresh and
new enterprises and strengthening of existing ones.
4.
Horizontal and vertical diversification of Horticulture Crops
MAJOR GAPS
1. Low productivity per unit area
2. Non-availability of good quality plant material
3. Increasing cost of plant protection
4. Weak post harvest management practice and infrastructure
CONCENTRATIONS:
1. To improve soil and water management
2. To ensure survival of fruit plant in rain-fed and dry land areas
Through implementation of RKVY/NADP an integrated, comprehensive, need based location
specific plan can be castled which may give a boost to the efforts to achieve the desired goals of
enhanced productivity, remunerative returns, sustained growth and quality environment.
SPECIFIC PRIORITIES:
Envisaged plans for sustained growth of fruit industry based on the current physical,
financial as well as application setbacks under RKVY for District Jammu are proposed for an
amount of Rs.94.4lacs to be prioritized during the remaining part of the XIIth Plan (2014-15 to
2016-17). The plan includes all the basic and major components felt necessary for the
development of Horticulture. However, some urgent and important missing links with forward
the backward linkages, filling the concurrent gaps need focused attention.
112
Accordingly few projects proposals are earmarked which demand urgent approach to fill the
missing links so that the developmental vehicle catches movement in the District Jammu so as to
be in line with rest of the State by the end of the XIIth Plan.
5.1.1PROJECT: GAP-FILLING OF OLD ORCHARDS
The Government of J&K initiated multi-dimensional programmes for the growth of horticulture
industry in the State. All the programmes laid stress on the expansion of area under fruit crops.
Initially huge amount of funds under various schemes were made available for the expansion of
the area, however, the requisite results could not be achieved in rain-fed, kandi and hilly areas
where water is a limiting factor. Especially in the areas where heavy monsoons are experienced,
the loss of surface soil in the form of sheet erosion depleting the soils regularly has contributed
to the poor survival on ground. The farmers in these areas remain busy in searching of drinking
water and other livelihood requirements thus have not been able to maintain the orchard areas
properly. Further, the Government could not provide adequate technical as well as financial
support for improvements in the soil and water management techniques in the remote areas of
the State. The efforts of the allied departments providing irrigation facilities have not been able
to match the ground requirements with the result regular loss of plantation has occurred due to
which the efforts of the Department of Horticulture have not been able to add diversification,
intensive fruit production and introduce other modern horticulture practices.
The District Jammu is a typical sub-tropical climatic region of Jammu Division.
Command Area Development Department has been able to provide adequate irrigation facilities.
The farmers naturally do not opt for fruit cultivation having adequate irrigation facilities due to
apprehension of water logging conditions mostly prevalent on the Western parts of the District.
Currently an area of 12072 ha is existing under fruit crops. However, the emergence of
commercial orchards is still a dream because of poor survival for want of hard, tough efforts
required during the hot summer months of April, May and June.
113
OBJECTIVES
To recover the loss of fruit plants due to natural calamities in the existing orchards;
REASONS:
1.
Prevalent drought conditions /dry land horticulture
2.
Poor soil status
3.
Poor soil and water management practices
4.
Traditional farming systems
5.
long gestation periods of horticulture crops
WEAKNESSES:
1.
Human and animal interferences
2.
Small land holdings
3.
Poor socio-economic status of farmers
4.
Poor access to technology/experts
5.
High prevalence of disease and pests
STRENGTHS:
1.
Existing orchard area
2.
Already introduced subject among farmers.
3.
Abundance of farm labour
BUDGETARY PROVISION
The orchards having at least fifty % survival on ground in the orchards already
established under various plans and which have not been included previously under the survival
benefits as provided in other scheme shall be provided assistance for 50% of the plant material
costs and support for pit digging as incentive. The breakup for such assistance/Ha is given in

5.1.2PROJECT:TOP WORKING OF BER
Ber (ZizyphusMauritiana) fruit is indigenous to India. The fruit is highly nutritious, a rich
source of vitamin C and also contains fairly good quality of vitamins A & B. Ber fruit also
contain Phosphorous and Iron, A comparison of Ber and Apple reveals that the Ber is richer in
the amounts of protein, mineral matter, calcium, phosphorous, carotene and Vitamins. The Ber
fruit is higher in calorific value and Vitamin C than Orange. The fruit is easily digested and has a
laxative effect. The pulp is sweet and rich in flavour.
Besides nutritive value of Ber many other aspects make the Ber cultivation a good
venture. Ber fruits come in market from January and continue till mid April. This is the time
when peak season of Citrus fruits is practically over and Grape and Mango are not ready yet. Ber
is available at cheaper rate and is therefore in great demands hence referred in India as (poor
mans fruit). The Ber fruit plant is quick growing, early bearing and yields a heavy crop every
year. The properly managed Ber orchards are very remunerative. Not only this, on marginal
lands, Ber is the only fruit tree among many fruits and agricultural crops which can give better
income. The yield varies from 80 to 250 kg of fruits per well grown up tree.
OBJECTIVES:

To improve production and productivity of Ber by top working of wild root stock with
superior and commercial cultivars.

To develop skill of local youth/farmers.
GRAFTAGE (TOP WORKING)
Top working practice is controlled reproduction of plant by man to perpetuate selected
individual or groups of individual plants which has specific value to him. In the era of open
economy it has become necessary that our produce is competitive both in domestic as well as in
export markets. Thereby the method of top working of available stock will certainly help to
diversify as well as produce a quality fruit which will fetch a remunerative price to the poor
peasants, thus will be helpful in raising the socio-economic status of poor and downtrodden
115
populaces of hilly and backward areas of the district.The detail of financial assistance required
under this project is given in table below.

5.1.3 PROJECT: STRENGTHENING AND MANAGEMENT OF IRRIGATION
RESOURCES
Improvement in water use efficiency is increasingly important strategy for mitigating the
gap between creation and utilization. This is even more relevant in case of irrigation sector since
small improvement in the efficiency can lead to considerable saving of water that can be utilized
for catering to the demand from other sectors.
The strategy for the XIIth Five Year Plan recommends a two-pronged approach for
ground water:
(a)
Promotion of ground water development in areas having untapped/unutilized potential
and
(b)
Comprehensive act for regulation of ground water development on sustainable basis.
Severe spatial and temporal variations in rainfall has prompted the creation of storage be
given due priority with the overall plan for water resources development.
Some of the management practices that needs to be taken up in right earnest are:
Bridging the gap between irrigation potential created and utilized

Participatory approach in Irrigation Management (PIM)

Modernization of irrigation system and performance improvement.

Benchmarking of irrigation.

Conjunctive use of surface ground water and

On farm management by reducing application losses, precision land leveling and
irrigation scheduling/deficit irrigation.
116
OBJECTIVES:
a.
To utilize the lesser water resources mainly during dry season through modern micro
irrigation technique.
b.
To increase the cropping intensity by increasing the water use efficiency.
c.
To increase the socio-economic status of farming community of the state by availing the
suitable micro-irrigation facility.
a)
CONSTRUCTION OF WATER HARVESTING/COMMUNITY TANKS:
In the Jammu district, traditionally fruit crops are cultivated without any permanent
source of irrigation. Therefore, there is vast potential for horticultural crops which can survive
even with rain water, but in order to improve the survival of fruit plants and to improve the
productivity of fruits and its quality, the use of water in horticulture has become imperative. It is
therefore, envisaged to create critical irrigational facilities in the orchards to ward off the effects
of drought like situation and in order to keep the present orchards commercially viable which
may further help to continue the programme of further expansion of area under new orchards.
Accordingly suitable water sources are proposed to be created in the orchards. It is
proposed to construct water storage tanks in the identified areas for which assistance will be
provided to orchardists for construction of tanks of different dimensions as per the ground
requirement & feasibility. Focus shall be given for construction of water storage tanks on
community basis. However ground water is exploitable the financial assistance for digging deep
bore wells @ Rs.1.03 lac per ha. The detail of financial assistance required under this project is
given in table below.

5.1.4 PROJECT: VERMICULTURE TECHNOLOGY
Vermi-culture means artificial raring or cultivation of worms/earthworms and technology
is the scientific process of using them for the betterment of human beings. Vermi-cast or vermincompost is the excreta of earthworms, which is rich in humus. Harnessing earthworms as
versatile natural bioreactors is vermin-culture. The process of composting organic wastes
through domesticated earthworms under controlled conditions is vermi-composting. Earthworms
have tremendous potential ability to decompose all bio-degradable materials such as crop
residues, weeds, paper, kitchen waste, cardboard, coconut fiber etc. Wastes subjected to
earthworm consumption decomposed 2-5 times faster than in conventional composting. The
worm excrement (castings) is used as a bio-fertilizer. Action of earthworm deodorizes wastes
and cease pathogenic activities in the substrate/raw feeding material. Depending on the feeding,
excreting & breeding potentialities of earthworms, there is 40-60% volume reduction in organic
waste. These are fast growing, voracious feeders & prolific breeders. Earthworms feed about 4-5
times their own body weight, thus, one kg of worms decompose approximately 4-5 kg of organic
wastes in 24 hours.
Vermiculture industry is a billion dollar enterprise, supplying eager fisherman, zoos, fish
hatcheries, poultry producers, and biology classrooms. As propagated by Bhawalkar Earthworm
Research Institute (BERI), it is a form of appropriate biotechnology for conversion of organic
wastes into valuable humus and plant nutrients.
OBJECTIVES:
a.
To promote organic farming in horticulture
b.
To improve soil and water conservation under dry land conditions.
c.
To improve soil health by addition to organic humus
118
POTENTIAL BENEFITS:

Helps in reduction of noxious qualities of a wide variety of organic waste i.e, elimination
of smell, reduction of harmful micro-organisms, decreases bulk density and greater ease
of physical handling

Helps in production of marketable organic fertilizer.

Helps in protein production for live-stock feed or even human food from organic waste.

5.1.5PROJECT: FARM MECHANISATION
Farm mechanization ensures timeliness of operation and proper utilization of inputs
resulting in considerable increase in productivity from limited cultivable lands and water
resources on sustainable basis. The popularization of Agri-based implements is to improve the
efficiency and reduce the physical working load of the farming community in general and
orchardists‟ community in particular, is the prime objective of this component. The proposed
activity will not only help to maintain the orchard at low cost but will also save the time and
extra labor as well. In order to benefit the farming community, it is proposed to provide the
tools/implements and machinery suitable for hills as envisaged in the guidelines.
OBJECTIVES:
a.
Increase fruit production and productivity at reduced cost of operation;
b.
Make fruit cultivation less laborious.
c.
To create new interest and increase the popularity of using improved

5.2SERICULTURE SECTOR
Sericulture is an Agro-based industry and provides subsidiary occupation to 676 marginal
or landless families of the district. The main activity of the department is raising mulberry plants
in departmental nurseries which are further supplied/distributed among the interested farmers for
plantation in their landholding. Secondly the department distributes silkworm among the
Silkworm rearers after incubation in department established centers and even Chawki reared
about 70%. Since mulberry leaf is the only food material for rearing of silkworms so the
propagation of a considerable no. of mulberry saplings is the prime commitment of the
department. Stress is being given on conducting of mulberry plantation on vacant state land and
through farmers in their private land holdings. The Silkworm rearers associated with the activity
are either marginal or landless farmers. They produce about 19536 Kgs. of cocoons generating
an income of about 40.00 lacs. The department of Sericulture distributes the disinfection material
like chlorine dioxide/Senitech/bleaching powder for rearing appliances and rearing buildings are
distributed free of cost. Besides this the department provides bed disinfectants like R.K.O,
Vijatha that too free of cost. The department has established 5 nurseries in Jammu district in
which 580100 plants were produced from cuttings and roots. The total numbers of 88200 new
plantationswere conducted in 2013-14 in district Jammu. Sericulture has good scope to improve
the economic conditions of the weaker section of the society. The activity can be popularized by
organizing the awareness camps by the department. Cocoon crop production in Jammu district is
about 19536 Kgs and the productivity is about 31 Kgs/Ozs of Silkworm Seed. There is a
potential of increasing the productivity upto 45 Kgs per Ozs with ensuring the proposed inputs.
In this context the propagation of improved mulberry varieties shall be helpful. Providing
of better technical knowhow and improving the quality of silkworm seed the gap of productivity
can be achieved tapping of new potential areas adaptation of cluster approach shall also increase
the production level. Increase in productivity level will ultimately effect production of cocoon
crop and remunerative return to the farmer which will encourage more silkworm rearing families
to adopt this activity. The proposed plan of Sericulture sector for the year 2014-15, 2015-16 and
2016-17 has been projected to the tune of Rs. 61.55 Lacs. By adoption of the projected scheme,
the production of cocoon is expected to go up to 29000 Kg and the productivity shall increase
from 31 Kg/ozs to 45 Kg/ozs of Silk Worm Seed, registering 45% growth in the next three years
with remunerative returns to the farmers.

5.3 ANIMAL HUSBANDRY SECTOR
Livestock activity has a contribution of about 11% in the GDP of the state. It offers
promising employment opportunities and handsome income returns especially in rural
mountainous areas of the state. The scenario of animal husbandry has taken a facelift in the past
few decades thanks to the improved breeding policy of the country to upgrade the productivity of
native breeds. By virtue of these, the milk production curve of the country is having a rising
trend. The main tool in the improved breeding practices where artificial insemination in the cattle
and buffalos in organized sector/farmers as well as in the field level and of course owing to some
good extension work carried out. The projects worth Rs. 397.82 Lacs have been proposed in the
12th plan under stream I and Rs.52.75 lacsunder stream II and have been presented as below:

5.5 FISHERIES SECTOR
Jammu district is blessed with potentially rich fisheries resources offering wide scope and
opportunities for warm water fisheries. The fisheries development in the district has made great
strides during the last two decades but still this sector has gigantic task ahead for achieving blue
revolution.The state of Jammu and Kashmir is bestowed with vast potential of natural water
resources spread over an area of about 0.40 lakh hectares. The department has undertaken
strenuous efforts to promote the cultivate fisheries in order to cater the present day nutritional
demands. Intensive efforts are being made to motivate the agriculture practicing farmers to take
up fish farming in their fallow land which otherwise are not used for agriculture. The effective
extension programmes taken up by the department of fisheries have been able to successfully
mobilizing farmers, execute trainings and teach the budding fish farmers and entrepreneurs to
diversify in fish farming activities so that the available potential fisheries resources are fully
utilized by taking advantage of recent fish farming technology to boost up the fish production.
The district Jammu has vast potential as regards to the fish and fisheries is concerned. This
district has maximum number of fisheries license holders (1212) among all other districts of
Jammu province. At present, 11.5 ha tank area is available for fish production in Jammu district.
Presently about 1139 MT fish is produced in the Jammu district. To boost the fish production,
100% subsidy id provided under National Mission for Protein Supplement (NMPS). The
introduction of fish culture in the private sector has shown encouraging results and the farmers
getting handsome returns from their ponds from a limited area which is a source of self
employment and a source of cheap and high quality proteins particularly for the rural population.
So there is need to have more units in private sector to increase the fish production in the state as
well as to provide a source of self employment to the rural unemployed youths.

5.6FLORICULTURE SECTOR
Floriculture could be considered as the most colourful sector of horticulture which includes
flowers, foliage, potted plants, ornaments and greens. India is the second largest grower of
flowers after China. With urbanization and increase in disposable income level, the demand for
floriculture products has increased significantly. As a result, there has been an increasing
demand for cut flowers like rose, gladiolus, carnation, gerbera, orchid, lilium etc. There is a
equally good demand for the traditional flowers like jasmine, marigold, tuberose etc. This has led
to the transformation of floriculture sector from household activity to a commercial venture
having potential for providing enhanced returns to the growers besides providing employment
opportunities to the unemployed youths. Therefore the government of India has been paying
close attention for the development of floriculture in the country.
The centrally sponsored schemes namely RashtriyaKrishiVikasYojana (RKVY)was introduced
in the 11th five year plan aiming at an annual growth rate of 4.1% in agriculture by providing
incentives to the state in the shape of grant in aid. RKVY is the 100% centrally sponsored
scheme to encourage commercial floriculture in the district by way of increasing production of
flowers, area expansion and providing subsidy for the creation of water resources. As per
Guidelines, the activities covered under RKVY (Stream 1) are area expansion, model floriculture
centre (Public sector), creation of water sources, cost of planting material of high value flowers
for poly house (Public sector), cost of planting material of high value flowers for poly house
(Private sector), organic farming and cold storage for post harvest operations (Public sector).
Under Stream-II, the component covered are: Publicity, printed literature and local
advertisement, project management including preparation, strengthening, hire/ purchase of
vehicles and special intervention like tackling of emergent/ unforeseen requirement.

5.8Horticulture Planning and Marketing Sector
Project: Strengthening Agricultural Marketing and Agri-Business
management in District Jammu
Globalization and domestic market reforms have resulted in transformation of subsistence
farming to increased commercialization and agri-business. This calls for strengthening of
Agricultural Marketing and Agri-Business management sector in Jammu District as 92 % of the
farmers of Jammu district having marginal and small land holdings and marketable surplus is in
small quantity. Due to lack of storage facilities they are forced to stress marketing of the
produce.
As horticulture products are perishable in nature and in absence of proper storing facilities the
quality of the product diminished or the entire produce gets wasted. Moreover the farmers have
lesser knowledge about the market demand and are growing crops as per their own experiences
and after following their counterparts in the vicinity. Sometimes due to abundance produce,
there is glut in the market and farmers are forced to cultivate their whole in the field, as
harvesting of crop is costly compared to sale price in the market. The post-harvest losses due to
non availability of the stores are quite high. As a result good quantities of fruit/vegetables are
damaged in the absence of proper storage facility and the growers are subjected to forced sale at
occasions. The fruit and vegetables growers in these areas are very poor having small holdings
and unable to construct their own stores. So the construction of hygienic and big store at
Fruit/vegetable producing areas will definitely reduce the post-harvest losses of the produce and
the produce will reach at market place in better condition. In this context, this project will help in
guiding farmers in right direction. The project will comprise of the following components:

Market intelligence

Market demand

Knowledge of Agri-Export and WTO

Entrepreneurial development

Quality control and Food testing

Provision of storing product to fetch better price

Development of Agri-Business centres
138
Establishment of Agri-Business Centre/ApniMandies
Traditionally a producer are forced to take their produce to the nearby local markets for
sale of thir produce where he was supposed to sell off his produce even at distress prices thereby
getting no due share. The establishment of APNI MANDIES in rural and productive areas will
help the producers to sell his produce in this small mandi directly to the consumers community
and buyers thereby ensuring reduction in middle-manship and enhancing producers share in
consumers rupee. In this way the producers‟ community gets the market at their door step.
Development of On-Farm Storage/Rural Godowns
Developing rural godowns of 1000 M/tones capacity in rural areas of the district namely
Marh, Satwari and Khourshall be of immense use and provide relief to the fruit/vegetable
growers in larger way. During bad weather conditions and non-availability of transportation, the
producer can store his produce in the nearby on-farm store/Godown by way of which the
fruit/vegetable commodity is prevented from damage.
Provision for Alternate Packing Material:
As of now the fruit and vegetable producers are to transport their produce in a traditional way
which at one hand is not feasible for transportation and at other hand is a great loss to the
produce. During the year 2014-15, 1000 plastic crates will be distributed among the progressive
fruit & vegetable growers. Similarly for next two years 1000 such plastic crates each will be
distributed among the fruit and vegetable growers to develop a habit of using the plastic/card
Board Cartoons.
Refrigeration Van:
For haulage of very perishable agri/horti produce such as Strawberry and leafy vegetables
which are having less life, a Refrigeration Van is must for the transportation of fruit and
vegetables from the productive belts to Mandi. In the years 2015-16 and 2016-17,one
refrigerated van shall be purchased so as to save the perishable items from losses during
transportation.
139
Establishment of Retail Outlets
The project will help in providing retail outlets to the producers in their respective areas
to sell their horticultural produce. In the year 2014-15, one outlet will be established while two
outlets each in the 2015-16 and 2016-17 will be established for the betterment of the farming
community. The total amount required for the three years will be Approx. 50.00 lacs.
Specialized Transport Vehicle
Two number of specialized transport vehicles are proposed for the year 2015-16 and
2016-17 each with a requirement of approx 14 lacs. These vehicles will facilitate the farmers in
timely arrival of the produce in the market.
Establishment of Processing Units
The funds may be provided under RKVY scheme to accrue the benefits to the prospective
producers as this scheme is of immense significance in providing value addition of surplus
produces. This schemed should be taken at micro level to attract majority of farmers as only 2 %
of the total produce in India is processed for value addition. This secondary agriculture is now a
days require the attention of the policy makers so that instead of producing more food, we can
add value to the amount with us for maximum benefit.
Construction of Cold Storage
The post harvest losses due to non-availability of cold storage are high. To minimize the
post harvest losses of perishable goods and to increase their shelf life, cold storages are direly
needed. Thus it is proposed that one cold each in th year 2015-16 and 2016-17 should be
established.
Sensitizing farmers about Agri-business through Awareness camps
Preparing small and marginal farmers to participate in the fast changing Agri Marketing formats
like contact farming, Future Trading, Food Retailing; Exports etc. are to be addressed. The
critical issue in strengthening agriculture marketing and Agri- business management are to train
the farmers on promotion of Agri-export, Quality control, Market intelligence, Man power and
Entrepreneurship development through multi-disciplinary approach. As there is an ample
potential for fruit and vegetable production due to diverse climatic conditions in the district, fruit
140
and vegetable growers need to be imparted day to day technical know-how for giving a fillip to
the production. Growers Awareness Camps should be conducted by the department of
Horticulture Planning and Marketing (P&M) from time to time in the production belts of the
districts concerned. Over 100 growers are being invited to attend the event and the grievances of
the growers are being addressed by all the officers of Agriculture sector/Financial institutions
etc.
Expected Outcome and Road Map:
The project will directly benefit the farming community especially the small and
marginal farmers in realizing additional income. Market oriented/Demand driven production,
market intelligence and quality will help in increased exports and direct economic benefits to
farmers. The market led extension will enhance the knowledge and skill formation leading to
formation of competent human capital. The project uses consortium approach utilizing the
forward and backward linkages for augmenting food and livelihood security through enhancing
production, addressing key concerns through key interventions, promoting value addition and
welfare effects including gender empowerment. The annual budgetary requirement is about Rs
824.50 lacs for the remaining plan period.
The development of market infrastructure and the allied mechanism alongwith necessary
awareness amongst the agriculture and rural community to make the most of their produce and
provide a better life to the farming community remains to be the bull work of the agricultural
marketing activities.

5.9COOPERATIVE SECTOR
The surplus production during summer especially during July–September goes waste due
to lack of storage facilities are sold at very low price e.g. bottle gourd during peak season has
been sold at very uneconomical prices and farmers suffer heavy losses even they are unable to
get the cost of inputs used.
The area and production under vegetables can be enhanced to a great extent if market of
vegetable is evenly regulated throughout year by way of keeping surplus production in peak
season in cold storage (controlled atmosphere) needs to be developed to prolong availability of
many perishable commodities.
The perishable products like Potato, tomato, knolkhol, cauliflower, cabbage are harvested
at a very high moisture content of 60.88% which limits their shelf life and whose storage at
farmers level poses problem. At low temperature perishablity is considerably reduced and shelf
life of perishable product which increases urgent requirement of cold storage to preserve the
perishable products.
More than 2000 q of Mushroom is being produced in Jammu district during this year.
When there is glut of button mushroom during December –January, the farmers get low prices as
mushrooms are perishable and delicate in nature. These cannot be kept a fresh for more than 24
hrs. The deterioration starts with formation of brown colouration resulting in quality
deterioration and loss of marketability.
Post harvest management practices i.e. proper harvesting time, precooling, Packaging ,
Storage, Processing, Drying etc; Shelf life can be increased by making them unfavourable for
bacterial growth by removing water and adding inhibitors such as salt(NACL) , Pickling,
Canning, Freezing are followed in preservation process. Other useful value added products like
Mushroom soup, Freeze dried mushroom, Dried mushroom powder , Chutney , Snacked canned
mushroom can be prepared.
Infrastructure needs to be developed for post harvest technology regarding vegetables
processing, canning, packing, refrigeration. There is need for setting up of cold storage in
cooperative Sector to save the farmers from exploitative practice of private cold storage owners.
143
The Cooperative Sector is having multiple registered units like Dairy, Poultry, Primary
Agriculture Coop. Societies (PACS) at village level and Marketing Societies at Block level.
These societies other than Dairy and Poultry are dealing with fertilizers / consumer and credit
business and the farmers are affiliated with these Cooperative units at gross root level. To boost
up the business activities of these Cooperative Institutions, Revolving funds for purchase of
fertilizers and consumer goods should be provided to revive the sick units in the blocks.
The following infrastructure needs to be developed for the 12th five year plan in the
Cooperative Sector block wise as under:S.No Component

District Plan
Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan of District Jammu envisage the physical and financial
programmes proposed for all round development of agriculture & allied sectors which have
been incorporated in the Chapter IV and V respectively.
148
Conclusion
The farmers of District Jammu are producing different agricultural produces much more
than their own requirements. The volume of marketable surplus of cereals and vegetables being
cultivated by farmers is on the rise. They have even ventured into the production of different
commodities exclusively for the market. The farmers of the district are now fairly established in
producing all sorts of agricultural produce be it cereals, vegetables, milk, meat, mushroom,
honey or fish. In spite of falling share of agriculture in gross domestic product, it is still a base
of the district economy. However, the increasing urbanisation, changing diet patterns, modifying
marketing and trade necessitates for transforming the farming too. The pace of diversification in
the farming system is rapidly changing and the share of horticulture is ever increasing. This is
high time for the calls for creating the culture that helps and motivate farmers to adopt and
integrate the subsidiary occupations in their farming systems on comparatively larger scale.
Diversity within the predominant existing farming system of paddy and maize based cropping
system with few local breed of cattle, and across the sectors in the form of integrated farming
systems is the proved approach for success. The multiple enterprises adoption including crops,
vegetables, dairy, poultry, mushroom, fish, honey bee, farm level processing and value addition
etc. will generate regular farm income. Thus scientific integration of crop husbandry and allied
occupations is the central theme of diversification of Jammu District.
Since the district is upcoming hub for the development in basmati rice, vegetables,
mushroom and strawberry production, the government assistance in all round development can
never be ignored. Similarly, depletion of natural resources, the problems of soil erosion and
deteriorating soil health need to be tackled by government assistance. The lasting solutions to
these problems i.e. the rain water harvesting in ponds/ water storage tanks, roof top rain water
harvesting and other innovative schemes for immediate returns to the farmer but most crucial for
long term sustainability. Higher productivity growth expectations through RKVY have to be
149
properly anchored by accelerating the further adoption of different modern technologies in
agriculture and allied sectors. The recommended technologies for cost reduction and resource
conservation include zero-tillage, the adoption of INM, IWM and IPM and improved seeds
(especially of suited varieties for organic cultivation) for fields, horticultural crops and agro
forestry, bio-fuel and medicinal plantation. Advanced soil testing diagnostic kits, improved
health and management practices, better and advance methods of breed/stock/strain improvement
for improvement of animal husbandry and fish farming. Proper education and awareness on post
harvest, value addition and marketing practices (with greater emphasis of e-connectivity) for
agriculture and allied produces will go a long way in realizing fair returns for the farmers.
Upgrading of skills, capacity building and entrepreneurship development for knowledge update
are must for informed choice making for improved productivity and profitability is another key
aspects to be addressed.
Monitoring and evaluation is to be made necessary component of any extension and
development programme. The constant monitoring will help in priority settings as per the
required needs of the farmers. Due emphasis has been given to all these aspects in the present
document which will ensure desired growth in productivity of agriculture and allied sectors that
will eventually result into higher level of farm income and rural prosperity.
