and future Perspective
Ranchi, 2013
By
Biswanath Sinha
2. Rice in India
⢠Rice is staple food for more than 70 per cent of
Indiaâs population
⢠Rice is grown in 42.1 million hectares of land with
a production of 88 million tonnes.
⢠Rice occupies 26 per cent of total cropped area
and contributes 24 per cent of total AGDP
⢠India earns Rs 7,000 crores annually from rice in
foreign exchange
⢠Rice is source of livelihoods for millions of people
in India
Âť (Directorate of Rice Research, 2010)
3. Background of SRI Program
⢠Decline in labour
⢠Increasing input cost
⢠The per capita land availability declined sharply
â 0.37 ha/0.925 acre (1951)
â 0.19 ha/0.47 acres (2001)
â Projected to be 0.13 ha/0.325 acres in 2051
⢠Increasing Environmental Concerns
⢠Decline of water source available for agriculture
⢠Per Capita rice availability is declining
⢠221.7 gm/day in 1991
⢠206.4 gm/day in 2000
⢠175.3 gm/day in 2008
⢠The potential for growth is more in rainfed areas
4. SDTT-SRI Program Piloting Phase
(2007-09)
⢠65,543 small and marginal farmers covering
18,685 acres in 2009 (kharif and rabi
combined)
⢠105 districts or close to a sixth of the total
districts in the country
⢠Eight states
⢠Investment in first phase: 10.94 crore
⢠Reviewed during 2008-09

5. Expansion Phase II (2009-12)
⢠Aim: 169,000 small and marginal farmers in 12
states (achieved 155,000 by Rabi 2011)
⢠Strategies: (i) intensively engage NGOs and
state governments for SRI extension; (ii)
Training of trainers and farmers; (iii) Provide
support for obtaining equipment such as cono
weeder; (iv) Research and advocacy; (v)
Innovation; and (vi) Exchange programme.

â 191% increase in income (Rs.13, 416/acre as compared to Rs.
4610/acre)
⢠Food Security
â 84 days a year for a family of six (Average SRI area per farmer:
0.35 acre)
⢠Increase in Economic Output
â 2011: Rs. 34 Crore

10. Program Achievements (B.1)
Extrapolation of SRI Principles to Other Crops:
⢠Wheat
â Uttarakhand: 2300 farmers; 40 to 80 per cent increase
in grain yield
â Bihar: 7500 farmers; 25 to 50 per cent yield increase
⢠Sugarcane
â Additional income under SRI method is Rs 82,112 /
per acre (Bihar)
⢠Vegetables, Pulses, and Oilseeds
(Rapeseed, Soybean)
Presentation to the CoB 10
11. Other Encouraging Developments
⢠Livolink Foundation with active support from our
SRI partners has been able to mobilise Rs 3 crores
from TRUPTI in Odisha.
⢠PRADAN Bihar has played major role in
mainstreaming SRI and generating interest at
international level
⢠The Guradian, Forbes India, etc
⢠Rongmei Naga Baptist Association is mobilising
weeders from Manipur Government for our SRI
partners
12. Our Failures
⢠Our attempts to intervene at state and policy
level has given uneven results
⢠Research with mainstream institutions has not
taken off at the desired level
⢠Failure to bring uniformity in extension
mechanism
⢠Is Livolink Foundation over-burdened: Is there
possibility of 360 review/feedback
13. Future Direction
Need feedback from all of you
⢠Intensify the SRI extension in the focussed
regions/states
⢠Standardizing the extension mechanism
⢠Initiating research on SRI with established
research institutes (a separate event is being
proposed in June 13 only on research)
⢠Moving from âfood securityâ to âfamily well-
beingâ: if needed supplementing with other
activities
