THREE YEARS ACTION PLAN OF PRIMARY SECTOR CONVERGENCE GROUP

AGRICULTURE:

FOR INCREASING FARMERS INCOME (2020~2023)

1. Background : 1.1. Agriculture is one of the dominant sectors of the state, contribute 32% value to Gross State Domestic Product from total net shown area of 2.55 lakh hectare with 191% cropping intensity, by mostly small and marginal farmers (96%). The main agricultural crops grown in the state are paddy, maize, pulses, oilseeds, jute and mesta. 1.2. Over the year’s production and productivity of major agricultural crops in the state have increased significantly without proportionate increase in farmer’s income. Hence, As per recent decision of the State Planning (P&C) Department, a 3 year achievable action plan (2020-2023) of Agriculture sector for increasing farmers income has been prepared. 1.3. As per the NSSO baseline data of 2012-13, average monthly income of each farm household in the state is Rs. 6,337/- during 2012-13. Accordingly, at constant rate of growth, the plan is targeted for increasing average monthly farm family income to Rs.14,135/- during 2022-23 from all primary sector activities. Percent contribution of different primary sectors in achieving the target is tabulated below: Monthly Income Projection: Sector-wise (Rs.) Category 2018-19 (Base Year) 2022-23 Sectoral income % share Sectoral income % share Cultivation 4131 50% 7209 51% Agriculture 2479 30 % 3965 28% Horticulture 1652 20% 3244 23% Wage/ Salary 2755 33% 3534 25% Livestock & Fisheries 1200 14% 3109 22% Non-farm business 215 3% 283 2% Total 8,301 100% 14,135 100%

1.4. Since, cultivation of pulses, oilseeds, and coarse cereals (maize) are more remunerative than paddy, 23000 hectare paddy area is proposed to be brought under crop diversification programme, in the first phase – beside high value vegetables and spices - with provision for minimum processing facilities like, ‘Dal mill’ and ‘Oil mill’ to the concerned farmers/ farmer groups. 1.5. Irrigation facility is still very less in the state (only 34% of the NCA, as against 48% in the country) as also the scope for management of water in low lying areas, posing a serious problem in suitable diversification of crops. However, a minimum additional area of 20,100 ha needs to be brought under irrigation at the earliest, to achieve the targeted expansion of area under high value crops and proportionate increase in cropping intensity (191% to 198%). 2. Strategies :

2.1. The broad strategies envisaged in plan include ;  Horizontal expansion of area especially for coarse cereals, pulses & oilseeds,

1 | P a g e

 Increasing productivity of crops, using hybrids, selected HYVs, SRI techniques, more and judicious use of fertilizers as per soil health card recommendation,  Strengthening of farm mechanization & necessary irrigation support,  Further promotion of organic farming through formation of FPOs & FPCs in areas where use of chemical fertilizer is very less,  More coverage of area under crop insurance to save the farmers from natural vagaries and provide MSPs for the possible crops to save them from distress sale,  Linking exiting markets with eNAM platform for better marketing access,  Extending support for agricultural credit through KCC,  More coverage under PM-KISAN for input support.

3. Major Action Plan : 3.1.

ANIMAL RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT

The livestock sector plays a vital role in the rural economy and supports small and marginal farmers both economically and nutritionally. It also plays an important role in employment generation and augmentation of rural economy. Animal Resources Development Department is providing veterinary health care services and improving the production potentialities of livestock and poultry reared in the State through genetic up-gradation. Apart from this various beneficiary oriented schemes are also implemented for the economic up- liftment and welfare of the weaker sections of the society. The Government needs to frame realistic policies for development of Animal Husbandry sector to increase production of milk, meat and egg. 1. Goals: i. Increase milk, meat & egg production in the State. ii. Increase the productivity of livestock & poultry. iii. To reduce the gap between demand and supply pertaining to milk & egg. iv. Prevention and control of animal diseases. v. Development of fodder and feed. vi. Skill development of unemployed youths for self employment. vii. Doubling the Farmers’ income by 2022-23. To achieve these goals following strategies are taken up: 2. Cattle development Livestock and Dairying is an important subsidiary occupation of households in the North- Eastern States and other parts of India. Despite impressive growth in the dairy sector in the recent years there are constraints hampering the growth which require proper attention by initiating realistic policies for improvement of cattle and buffalo. As per ISS, 2017-18 population of cattle in Tripura is 1045934nos. (ND-891766, CB-154168), Buffalo-12713nos and production of milk is 1,74,260 MT with per capita availability(PCA) of 123gm/head/day which is far behind against National PCA of 375gm/head/ day of milk during 2017-18. Presently, Animal Resources Development Dept. is following a strategy for up-gradation of local variety of cattle and increasing the crossbred population by cross breeding with exotic germplasm i.e. Jersey, HF & recognized indigenous breed through artificial insemination.

a) Breed improvement: i) Intensification of artificial insemination (A.I) programme for up- gradation of local deshi (ND) varieties cattle with recognized indigenous breed and Genetic Improvement with Exotic breed through Tripura Livestock Development Agency (TLDA).Target of A.I. for the year 2019-20 is 1, 80,000. ii) Strengthening and extension of A.I services facility so that 100% breedable female cattles are brought under A.I coverage. iii) Sex sorted semen to be introduced with 1.0 lakh dose semen in a year.

12 | P a g e iv) Extending breed up-gradation programme in the remote and hilly areas through natural insemination by supplying breeding bull of recognized indigenous and exotic breed. v) Characterization of local cattle & buffalo by the Dept. of Animal Genetics and Breeding, College of Veterinary Science & A.H., R. K. Nagar in consultation with NBAGR. vi) Establishment of Frozen Semen bank for storage of genetically superior local cattle germ plasm. vii) To boost milk production in the state induction of improved cattle from outside the state may be encouraged in accordance with the breeding strategy/ policy of the State viii) To encourage small & marginal farmers, subsidized Calf Growth Meal (CGM) for crossbred female calves may be supplied.

(b) Strengthening of Dairy Cooperative Societies:

At present one Milk Union namely Gomati Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union Ltd (GCMPUL) is procuring average 8160 lit raw milk per day from 113 Nos. of functional Dairy Cooperative Society (DCS) covering 5 districts viz- Khowai, West Tripura, Sepahijala, Gomati and South Tripura of the State. A milk processing plant with capacity of 5000 lit per day is established and installed the required machinery by TATA Trust with the name of “TRIDHA Milk Producer Company Limited” at Kamalpur in Dhalai District under which 79 (seventy nine) nos of Dairy SHG are formed. Trial run of the plant has been done successfully. The pending works were expected to be completed by October, 2019 and the plant operation was expected by November, 2019 which is still awaited. Another milk processing plant with capacity of 4000 lit per day was established in the name of Uttarayan Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union Ltd (UCMPUL) established at Sripur, Dharmanagar in North Tripura district covering North and Unakoti District which has stopped functioning at present. Initiative has been taken for its revival for the greater interest of the local farmers and overall development of Dairy sector in the area.

3. Strategies: i) Induction of Crossbreed Milch cows from outside the State for establishment of small dairy farm unit in cluster basis under Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme (DEDS) ii) Formation of more nos of new Dairy Co-operative Societies (DCSs) and strengthening of existing societies. iii) Setting up of new Bulk Milk Cooling Centres (BMC) units and strengthening of existing BMCs for proper maintenance of milk cool chain. iv) Bringing maximum possible nos of milk producing farmers under organizational set up of Dairy Co-operative Societies and rendering remunerative price to the farmers. v) Establishment of modern milk processing unit. vi) Creation of organized marketing channel through setting up of site specific parlour and small outlets.

4. Pig and Goat Development As per ISS Report (2017-18), Tripura is having total 3, 71,190 nos. of pigs ( Deshi 1,53,274 nos and Improved 2,17,976 nos) and 6,87,414 nos. of goats. Amongst pig, one Deshi breed is Dome (recognized), another desi breed is Mali, for which registration is on progress through NRC on Pig, Rani, Guwahati. Conservation and multiplication of deshi pig is also carried out in two govt farms. In goat, maximum is Black Bengal breed. There is a huge demand of goat meat in the State and to meet the gap recently Sirohi breed of goat has been introduced in the State.

5. Strategies for development of Pig farming: i) Breed Improvement: Tripura has formulated specific Pig Breeding Policy to promote cross breeding with 50% of exotic inheritance. For improvement of the local pigs, Artificial insemination (A.I) facility to be introduced / extended to the local farmers with establishment of Semen Laboratory at Devipur Farm complex. New stock of pure breed Exotic germplasm are going to be imported under NLM from U.K. ii) Increasing the production and Strengthening of Farm: Exotic male piglets are being supplied from the Govt. Farms to the farmers for improving their local stock by cross breeding. Motivation for cluster based / organized farming is carried out through different skill development and training programme. Govt. farms are being strengthened for breeding of the improved germplasm and piglet production & distribution. iii) To manage Govt farms on PPP model: Efforts are being taken to run some of the Govt. piggery farm (Thakcherra, Amarpur) on PPP model to develop entrepreneurship. Strategies for development of Goat farming: i) High yield variety of goat both for milk and meat purpose has been introduced in the State to encourage unemployed youth for goat rearing. ii) Holding capacity of the breeding stock in the Govt. Farm (Debipur) for Black Bengal goat multiplication is going to be increased. 6. Poultry Development Egg production in Tripura is mainly from backyard poultry & duck rearing. The State has 54.29 Lakh & 11.50 Lakh (as per ISS 2017-18) poultry & duck population respectively. At present, the total egg production in the state is 26.21 crore with PCA of 67 nos/head/Year against national PCA of 74 nos/head/Yr. As per ICMR recommendation, per capita / annum requirement of eggs is 183 nos. poultry species also contribute 65.86% meat in meat sector, (2017-18) in the state. 7. Strategies for augmentation of egg & Poultry meat production: i) Establishment of Block level Brooder House (BLBH) scheme: The concept of the BLBH started in the year 2006. As per the Scheme Day old chicks (DOC) and Day old Ducklings (DOD) are supplied to the BLBH managed by the unemployed youth / SHG for rearing upto 28 days and then supplied to farmers for backyard rearing. At present there are 74 nos. functional BLBH. Considering the importance of the scheme, the Govt. farms to be further strengthened to produce more numbers of DOC/DOD to meet the demand of BLBH.

14 | P a g e ii) Promotion of Backyard Poultry Farming: The Department is implementing CSS-Rural Backyard Poultry Schemes under National Livestock Mission (NLM). Since 2014-15 around 15000 no. of families are benefitted. Each family is provided with 45 nos. of Low Input Technology Bird (LIT) for rearing in backyard system. Based on the success of backyard poultry farming, more families to be covered under the Scheme to boost egg production. iii) Promotion of Backyard Duck Farming: Duck egg is very popular in Tripura and fetches more price than poultry egg. Ducks are generally reared in backyard system and contributes 20-30% of total egg production. There are two duck breeding farms under State Govt. rearing Khaki Campbell, Vigoba Super M ducks. Ducklings are supplied to farmers and BLBHs for “Backyard Duck Rearing”. There are good numbers of water bodies in the state where integrated Duck and fish farming may be taken up for cost effective duck rearing. It was the commitment of the Government to provide 50,000 ducklings to the beneficiaries residing in and around , . 24,000 ducks already been distributed to 1000 families. iv) Strengthening of Poultry and Duck farms for meeting the huge demand of DOC and DOD in the State. v) Promotion of Commercial Layer Farming: Commercial layer farming was absent in Tripura due to high production cost especially feed cost. Approx. 18 crores of eggs are imported per year costing about Rs. 90 crores to meet the demand. Presently, two large scale layer Poultry farms have come up at Golaghati, Bishalgarh and at Bamutia, Mohanpur with a capacity of 20,000 layer birds each. About 15,000 eggs are already coming to market daily from these farms.

8. Veterinary Health Services To optimize the production and productivity of livestock, a sound health care system is required. Veterinary health care system in Tripura is catered by network of 16 Nos. of veterinary hospital, 60 Nos. of veterinary dispensary, 438 Nos. of sub centers. Presently, the department has been carrying out the vaccination against major economically important diseases like Foot & Mouth Disease (FMD), Haemorragic Septicemia ( HS), Black Quarter (BQ), Anthrax, Classical Swine Fever (CSF) and Poultry & Duck vaccines These apart, 5 Nos D.I. Lab has been functioning to assist in disease diagnosis, disease investigation, outbreak control, prevention and containment of emerging and reemerging diseases in our State.

9. Strategies for intensifying Veterinary health care services:- i) Cent percent vaccination against major economically important diseases for livestock & birds. ii) Strengthening of health care services through introduction of mobile veterinary clinic. iii) Strengthening of disease diagnosis investigation activities through establishment of D.I .laboratory in each District. iv) Strengthening of disease surveillance and monitoring activities.

10. Feed and Fodder Development: Production of livestock particularly that of ruminants depends on the availability of quality feeds and green fodder and lion part of the management cost of cattle rearing is expended on feed. But, in reality, the availability of nutritious greens at farmer’s doorstep for their cattle has become a question nowadays in Tripura. Out of 1049169 Ha. of total geographical area of the state, total cultivable area is around 274354 Ha. [Source: Dept. Agriculture, Govt. of Tripura] and large portion of which is engaged in production of different food grains [ 31967 Ha. as per Economic review of Tripura -2017-18] . Again 60% of total area [6294 Km2] of the state comes under forest area [Source: Forest Department, Govt. of Tripura]. Most of the cattle rearers [85%] are marginal in nature, unwilling to spare the land exclusively for year round fodder production. In the current scenario, where competing demands on land renders even expansion of food/cash crops a difficult proposition, the possibility of increasing area under fodder crops is very meager but on the other hand the requirement availability of Feed and fodder is widening day by day. Green Fodder : As per report of the IGFRI, Jhansi, during the year of 2019 ,total estimated requirement of green fodder of the state is estimated as 1916.1 thousand Mt where as total availability of improved green fodder is 805.2 thousand MT [Indian Fodder Scenario: Redefining State wise Status (2019) . All India Coordinated Research Project on Forage Crops and utilization, Jhansi- 284003]. However, if we consider all the natural sources like Permanent pasture, waste land, forest area and farmer’s land the availability of green fodder may come around nearly 1070 thousand Mt. Dry Fodder : Regarding dry fodder, tentative requirement of the dry fodder of the state 1113 thousand Mt. Paddy straw is considered to be the major source of dry fodder in the state, however, if forest resource, horticultural and farm waste is considered total availability of dry fodder may come around 1360.7 MT during the year 2019 [ Source: IGFRI] So, it has become essential to adopt a multi-pronged strategy comprising the following components for ascertain adequate availability of feed & fodder in order to provide a buffer to the farmer even in adverse climatic condition.

11. Strategies for Feed & Fodder Development: 1. Adoption of alternate land use systems like silvipasture, hortipasture under Agroforestry approach. State Animal Resources Dev. Department in coordination with State forest department may render fruitful implementation of the same in vast forest land available in the state. 2. Adoption of appropriate Post Harvest & Crop residue management technology for proper conservation and utilisation of surplus produce green harbage of the monsoon. 3.Dual purpose, legumenous fodder varieties may also be promoted for supplying animal nutrition and soil fertlity upliftment. Along with small multiplication unit of Azolla [ as animal feed supplement] may also be promoted. 4. Strengthening of Govt. fodder farm for production of quality seed/ planting materials and demonstration of scientific package of practices of fodder cultivation. 5. Inclusion of fodder cutivation under Soil and water conservation programme. State Agriculture, Forest and Animal Resources Dev. Dept. may act as joint implementing agency.

16 | P a g e

6. Implementation of fodder cultivation under wage generated programme for MGNREGA.

12. Skill Development and Service Sector: The Skill Development is necessary to create a workforce empowered with upgraded skills, knowledge and widely recognized qualifications to gain access to decent employment and ensure states as well as India’s competitiveness in the present volatile global market. It aims at increasing the productivity and employability of workforce (wage and self-employed) both in the organized and the unorganized sectors. During the year 2019-20 Animal Recourses Development Department is targeted to train 1030 nos rural youths, school dropouts, unemployed educated youths, women, farmers in three different sector of qualification pack(QP) .

Strategies: i) Introduction of mobile Veterinary clinic through unemployed Veterinary Doctors ii) Training of private Doorstep AI workers (DSAIW)

FOREST

1. Background

1.1 Tripura has 6294.29 sq km of recorded forest area, which is 60.02% of the geographical area of the State. A total of around 1910sq km of this land has been distributed as forest patta under Forest Rights Act to around 1.31 lakh ST families. As per FSI Report 2019, the State’s forest cover is 73.68%. Despite having only 0.32% of the total geographical area of the country, the State has a higher contribution 1.20% of the total forest cover of the country. The State has the potential to contribute more towards India’s commitment of creating an additional carbon sink of 2.5 billion to 3 billion tonnes of CO2equivalentby 2030 through additional afforestation activities. Besides, two of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) directly relate to forestry sector; namely: Climate Action & Life on Land. 1.3 Tripura has 1005 Joint Forest Management Committees (JFMCs) with a Project area of 2,61,512 ha involving a total 1,00,200 families, mostly belonging to vulnerable section of the society. Creation of check dams for soil and moisture conservation in the forested catchments offer a huge spin-off in the form of additional income through fishery activities by the community. Community income can also be enhanced by optimum utilization of RoFR land. 1.4. Bamboo is an important raw material for industrial use. For free movement of bamboo within Tripura, the State has abolished the system of TP/GP for bamboo grown of private land.To facilitate extraction of trees from private land, online registration of trees has been introduced. To facilitate growth of agar based industry & trade, Guidelines have been issued. TFDPC is a State PSU set up in 1976 and has an asset base of 11,749 ha of rubber plantation producing annually more than 3000 MT of natural rubber by collection from 3845 tapping blocks. 1.5. For scientific management of recorded forest area, the Tripura Forest Department has Working Plans approved by MoEFCC for all its Divisions. The State has a protected area network of 603.64 sq km comprising four wildlife sanctuariesand two national parks. The State has started implementing a new JICA Project for improvement of forests in river catchments; and another German funded new Project for climate resilience forest landscape is expected to commence soon. 1.6. The forest cover, as reported in State of Forest Report, 2017 had showed a biennial decline to the extent of 164 sq km as compared to 2015, much of it being due to intense biotic pressure from jhum and rubber cultivation. The efforts, for restocking of forests and improving their density through reforestation/ enrichment and protection measures, have to be revised and implemented with renewed vigour. Due care has to be taken that the Non-timber Forest Produce (NTFP) resource, especially bamboo and those having high value, is improved both in terms of availability and productivity. 2. Vision & Mission: Tripura Forest Department’s vision is "addressing short term economic needs of the people and long-term ecological needs of the society through participatory forest management". To realize its vision, the Department will undertake activities for achieving a well-stocked high-quality forest with rich floral and faunal diversity by: (a) Application of the principles of sustainable management, (b) Effective adoption of silvicultural practices and technologies, and (c) Active involvement of the local people in our efforts of planning, implementation, and maintaining a balance between conservation and development activities.

20 | P a g e

3. Strategy, Action plan & deliverables:

The sectoral interventions will mainly aim at the following deliverables: (a) Bamboo resource development; (b) Facilitating industrial activities based on bamboo and agar; (c) Developing Green corridor along road by Roadside beautification plantation and Smritivan for creating awareness for tree plantation (d) Enhanced income forfarmers/ RoFRfamilies from Agroforestry products; (e) Development of NTFP, Rare, Endangered & Threatened (RET) species and Silvipasture/ Fodder tree plantation (f) Soil and Moisture Conservation along with optimum utilization of check dams: (g) Forest protection with community involvement (h) Greater use of IT for better forest management and service delivery (i) Intensive management of eco-parks and protected areas. (j) Showcasing rich natural heritage and sensitizing the younger generation: (k) Facilitating greater investment for realizing the true potential of rubber wood

To achieve these, the following strategy, action plan and deliverables are considered:

Strategy 1: Bamboo resource development:

Department will focus on production of high quality bamboo seedlings of commercially important species and on plantation of industrially important bamboo species. The species identified for this purpose are: Mirtinga (Bambusa tulda), Bom (Bambusa cacharensis), Kanak kaich (Thyrsostachyus oliverii), Paora (Bambusa polymorpha), Rupai (Dendracalamus longispathus) and Dolu (Neohouzea dullooa). These species are commercially important and form the basis of a large number of secondary value addition activities.

During next three years, a total of 1.8 crore quality bamboo seedlings will be produced and a total of 9000 ha will be planted with these bamboo species. In order to promote bamboo plantation outside forest land, Department will supply good quality bamboo seedlings at a subsidized rate of Re 1 per seedling. In addition to this the bamboo resource already created by the Department under JFMCs will be channelized for increasing the earnings of JFMCs and availability of bamboo for industrial use. This is also expected to result in qualitative improvement in management of bamboo resources.

Strategy 2: Facilitating industrial activities based on bamboo and agar:

Department will focus on streamlining the supply of bamboo for industrial use from JFMCs at remunerative prices. Focus will also be on registration of private agar plantation and will facilitate inoculation of agar trees on private land. Registration of at least 120 agar growers and at least three workshops will be held.

Necessary administrative and legal measures will be taken to give effect to the declaration that bamboo should not be considered as a tree under the Indian Forest Act/ State provisions. Several reforms are undertaken to simplify bamboo extraction process and free it from the system of Transit passes. Supply of bamboo will be regulated through bamboo price fixed at each District level by the Forest Development Agencies who have been empowered in this regard. In order to facilitate timely harvesting of mature rubber trees and promote setting up of rubberwood processing units to utilize harvested rubber wood, extraction of rubber trees will be exempted from Tree Felling Rules.Process of sustainable extraction/ utilization of Agar tree will be streamlined more by issuing clarificatory orders pursuant to the guidelines already notified on 4th January, 2019.

Strategy 3: Developing Green corridor along road by Roadside beautification plantation and Smritivan for creating awareness for tree plantation

Govt of Tripura has launched a scheme to develop green corridor along Roads/ Highways for beautification along with an additional objective of income generation by the private citizens residing beside the roads. It is proposed to cover most of the roads with emphasis on National highways and road leading to tourist destination The scheme will be funded under MGNREGA.. The Department has launched a new initiative for raising of “Smriti Van” under the guidance of the Hon’ble Chief Minister. These sites will serve to attract people for Tree planting in commemoration of the Purbajans as well as ensure the objective of plantation of seedlings for enhancing the tree & forest cover in the State. The Guidelines are innovative with the option of planting from a distance and geo tagging of each planted tree. The Guidelines have been issued and the scheme is being rolled out for planting in April-2020. The scheme has already evinced keen interest in various parts of the State and a Smriti Van has been started at Sabroom on the auspicious day of Mahalaya this year. The areas under Teliamura, Udaipur, West have been identified and in other various sub divisions the work is under progress. The Smriti Vans will be rolled for planting by public from. 2020.

Strategy 4: Agroforestry on RoFR land, organic certification, cluster development and SHG linkage:

Department under JICA Project will assist RoFRPatta holders in raising agroforestry plantation on their patta land. Organic certification of forest products will be attempted on a pilot basis, which can be scaled up on the basis of feasibility. Common facilities required for value addition of agroforestry products will be developed under EAPs through convergence. At least 2 clusters of NTFP/ Agroforestry products will be developed and all the SHGs of the area engaged in similar activities will be linked to the cluster. For this appropriate training/ awareness programmes will be taken up.

The existing plans/models for livelihood generation from these patta lands through agro-forestry are being revisited for improving the effectiveness of these models. At least 9 agro-forestry models for patta land have been developed.

A total of 6,000 ha agroforestry plantation @ 0.5 ha per beneficiary will be raised after joint demarcation and mapping of patta land. Beneficiaries will be organized into 750 Joint Liability Groups (JLGs), each 23 | P a g e comprising 10-15 beneficiaries and will be provided technical support in collaboration with Agriculture/ Horticulture Department. Financial support available under JICA Project and MGNREGS will be utilized for agroforestry plantation in the ratio of 50:50.

As agro-forestry products are raised with minimal or no use of chemical fertilizers, these products will be positioned as organic products with the handholding support/ assistance available under Mission Organic Value Chain Development (MOVCD) for North Eastern Region. This target may suitably be increased further after supports under the proposed Mission SARTHAK be available, for which Project has been submitted to DEA for considering World Bank funding.

FISHERIES 1. Introduction: Tripura is one of the renowned states among the inland fish farming states of India. The demand of fish for consumption among the people of Tripura is one of the highest in the country which is 24.96 kg/ capita/ year. While the state contributes to 18.91 kg from its own production, the rest is contributed by fish procured from other states amounting to an import of 24000 MT of fish approximately. Having the strength of 187201 nos. of fish farmers (27763 in UR category, 34286 in OBC category, 31079 in SC category, 77559 in ST category and 13538 in Religious minority category) and 27380.44 ha. water area under fish culture, the state possess the capacity to the minimize the import through increasing fish production and productivity in a sustainable way. To achieve this Department of Fisheries, Government of Tripura is putting effort ina multidimensional approach which is noted below: 2. Mission: Sustainable increase in fish production and fish productivity to meet consumers’ demand for fish through locally produced fish. 3. Strategy: The broad strategies for achieving the mission shall be as follows: i. Income generation and augmentation of fish production through quality fish seed Production. ii. Increasing fish production & productivity in ponds, tanks,reservoir, wetlands and forest lands. iii. Creation of new water bodies and reclamation of old water bodies and convergence for pisciculture. iv. Encourage entrepreneurship development in fisheries. v. Welfare of Fishermen/ fish farmer families. vi. Human Resource Development. i) Income generation and augmentation of fish production through fingerling production:

Tripura has achieved surplus in production of fish fingerlings mainly IMC. As per reports out of 42 crores of fingerlings produced only 27 crores are required for pisciculture in the state. In addition to theirutilization in culture fisheries, these are also utilized in ranching of reservoir and rivers. A major amount of fish fingerlings and spawn are being exported to the neighbouring Indian states. Considering the success of ‘stunted IMC fish seed’ in achieving rapid growth of IMCs in grow out culture, the fisheries department of Tripura has envisaged to promote and take up ‘stunted IMC fish seed’ production extensively. The ‘Stunted fish seed’ will fetch price Rs. 15 – 20/- per fingerling as compared to Rs. 0.7-1/- for normal IMC fingerlings which in turn will generate better income for fish seed growers and enhance fish production in the state.

37 | P a g e

Apart from this, the department is also emphasizing increase in production of fish seed of high value fish species such as Pabda, the state fish of Tripura, magur and giant freshwater prawn.

Plan of work:

 Promoting production of ‘Stunted IMC fish seed’ in extensive manner and bringing more area under stunted fish seed rearing and utilizing stunted fish seed for culture.  Establishment of carp hatcheries in government and as well as private sector for easy accessibility of IMC fish spawn.  Establishment of catfish and prawn hatcheries in government and private sector and increase in seed production of pabda, magur, giant freshwater prawn. ii) Increasing fish production & productivity in ponds, tanks, reservoir, wetlands and forest lands:

For increasing fish production from ponds and tanks,farmers shall be encouraged to adopt standardized and sustainable scientific fish farming techniques as prescribed by premier fisheries and aquaculture research institutes of India. Composite fish farming and Integrated fish farming are some proven technique of fish farming for augmentation of fish production in sustainable way. Poor and marginal fish farmers unable to afford scientific pisciculture techniques will be supported by Government through State and Centrally sponsored schemes, schemes from SC welfare and Tribal welfare department etc. Beside this, private investment in farmers’ ponds shall be encouraged for fishery based entrepreneurship development.

For increasing fish production from Dumbur reservoir (3049.34 ha.), the department of fisheries envisaged to adopt cage culture technique in a large scale utilizing fast growing fish species such as Pangasius. Apart from this, fish seed ranching which is being done every year in reservoir, rivers and wetlands will be continued to increase the fish catch by the fishermen.

For increasing fish production in the water bodies under jurisdiction of forest, JFMC shall play a pivotal role. Scientific fish farming techniques shall be adopted by the JFMCsand in case JFMC is unable to take up scientific fish farming the water bodies may be leased out to suitable entities as per rules and regulations of Forest Act.

Species diversification is another approach for augmentation of fish production and also for increased income. Polyculture of indigenous and high value fish species like Pabda, magur and giant freshwater prawn increases the opportunity for enhanced income generation through culture of fish.

At present, there are 1663 nos. of water bodies having area of 923.55 ha. owned by other Departments of Government of Tripura which are mostly underutilized because of non-adoption of scientific fish farming techniques. These water bodies can be handed over to Department of

38 | P a g e

Fisheries or the concerned department may lease out the water body to suitable entity. Also PPP based fish farming can be taken up.

Plan of work:

 Extending pisciculture support to poor and marginal farmers for composite fish farming and integrated pig cum fish culture using stunted fish seed.  Promoting use of aerator in fish ponds with higher stocking density.  Large scale adoption of cage culture in Dumbur reservoir with Pangasius sps.  Pisciculture support to RoFR areas.  Bringing more water area under polyculture with pabda, magur and giant freshwater prawn for species diversification.  Regulation of fishing gears, mesh size in reservoir and observing fishing ban during monsoon/ breeding season of fish.  Promoting pen culture of fish in shallow water area. iii) Creation of new water bodies and reclamation of old water bodies and convergence for pisciculture.

Horizontal expansion of culture area can be another effective strategy for increasing fish production in the state. Creation of new water area and converting them into aquaculture ponds will enhance fish production in the state. Side by side, old water bodies which have become less productive due to siltation of pond botton, erosion and damage of embankments should be reclaimed/ renovated to restore their productivity.

Plan of work:  Creation of new ponds/ tanks in public/ private land.  Reclamation of old water bodies.  Convergence for pisciculture through suitable scheme. iv) Encouraging entrepreneurship development in fisheries:

To develop fisheries into a commercial industry in the state entrepreneurship development is necessary. Entrepreneurship leads to private investment in the sector and also creates employment opportunity.

Plan of work:

 Promoting and supporting Self-help groups and Co-operative societies for development of entrepreneurship.  Procurement of quality fish feed and other necessary materials for scientific fish farming from outside the state and selling them to fish farmers of the state can be a good alternative for entrepreneurship.

39 | P a g e

v) Welfare of fishermen/ fish farmer families:

Fishermen and fish farmers in the state mostly belong to the poor and lower middle class categories. To encourage them for spending more resources in fish based livelihood activity welfare activities can be a good alternative. Welfare activities can be taken up in the form of insurance, providing fishing license, providing fishing craft and fishing gear, building affordable homes etc.

Plan of work:

 Coverage of fishermen/ fish farmers under PMSBY (Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana), PMFBY (Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana).  Issuing fishing license to fishermen through Fishermen Co-operative societies.  Building affordable homes for fishermen/ fish farmers under housing schemes.  Providing fishing craft (boat) and fishing gear (net) for ease in catching fish.  Providing fish transport vehicle with storage facility to fish farmer/ fishermen for transporting fish to the market in fresh condition.  Constructing knowledge centres for fish farmers.  Issuing pond health card after inspection of soil and water quality of the fish pond. v) Human resource development:

Dissemination of knowledge and technology is key to successful production of crop. For this, human resource with adequate knowledge and skill is determining factor. Officers and field level assistants of the departments are the people who are responsible for dissemination of knowledge and technology of scientific fish farming among the fish farmers. In this connection vacancies in these posts are required to be filled up for effective implementation of schemes and establishing stronger connection with the farmers.

Plan of work:

 Filling up of vacant posts of officers, fishery inspector and fishery assistants in the department.  Engaging ‘Matsya Mitra’ in the villages/ panchayats.  Awareness and skill development training programmes among the fish farmers, SHGs and Co- operative societies.

Annexure PWD (WATER RESOURCE) A 1. Misison : The geographical area of the State is 10,49,169 ha. Out of that 2,55,241 ha land are under cultivation in Tripura. As of now, 117572 ha. Of land has already been brought under irrigation coverage. Now, the PWD (WR) has targeted to brought additional 22838 ha. Land under irrigation within next three years to bring 55% of the total cultivable land under assured irrigation. Present, stage of expansion of irrigation infrastructure based on available surface flow has reached almost to its optimum level. Presently, rain water harvesting MI Storage reservoir is more suitable option for irrigation as well as for ground water recharging. Beside, this as per latest report of CGWB published I the year 2016-17, the rate of ground water extraction in Tripura is very less (7.88%) in comparison to national level (58%). So another viable option for irrigation is through SBTW/DTW.

Total target for irrigation coverage – 1,40,382 ha

Irrigation coverage as on 31.03.2019 – 1,17,572 ha

2. New area to be covered under assured irrigation within next three years i.e. 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 - 22,810 ha.

 In keeping with the above facts, a project for construction of two major Dam on the upstream of Hawrah River at Champaknagar and Champaibari over Champaicherra is under preparation. The CWC, GOI has been assigned for preparation of the DPR of the said project. The project will provide drinking water to the people of and will create irrigation facility to approximately 700 ha. Land in addition, it will recharge the ground with water and will minimize flood in the Agartala City to some extent.  Another EAP project for construction of 80 numbers Rain Water Harvesting cum MI Storage structure at different location of Tripura is under preparation

11. DEEN DAYAL UPADHYAYA GRAMEEN KAUSHALYA YOJANA (DDU-GKY)

i. Brief Introduction of the Programme: Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) is a skill development and placement programme of the Govt. of India for rural people of 15-35 years of age, with 90:10 funding pattern between the Govt. of India and the State. The programme is implemented through Project Implementation Agency (PIA), registered with the Govt. of India and having a Permanent Registration Number (PRN). At least 70% of the successful trainees are to be placed in organized sector by the PIA. Training is given on different trades for 3/6/9/12 months duration following NCVT/SSC approved modules. Minimum monthly remuneration of Rs. 6000/ 8000/ 12000/ 15000 is to be allowed to the candidate on placement. NABARD Consultancy Service (NABCONS) is the Project Appraisal Agency (PAA) and the Technical Support Agency (TSA) for Tripura.

ii. Strategy to improve the implementation of the programme:  Long term training programme will be promoted to ensure higher remuneration to the trainees on placement outside the State. Higher remuneration will act as a motivator for the trainee to continue with the job.  Skill gap assessment will be done through a 3rd party agency to identify the trades in employment opportunity is available in the State itself and also to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions done so far.

54 | P a g e

Annexure A  Training options are being explored where a part of the training can be conducted in the city of future placement to acclimatize the trainee. 12. The Programme in Tripura:

In 2016, Tripura was awarded the status of Action Plan (AP) State when the project submitted by the State was approved by the Govt. of India. The Empowered Committee approved the 03 (Three) Year Action Plan 2019-2022 in its meeting held on 25th Feb, 2019. Summary of the approved Action Plan 2019-22 is as given below.

20. Major Issues and challenges relating to DDU-GKY:

i. As per the Program Guidelines, a dedicated team at State Level is to be placed for implementation, control and monitoring of the program. For this, 12 posts have been created with Finance Concurrence and Cabinet approval. The final recruitment process is going on. Due to absence of this dedicated team for long period, progress of work is badly hampered.

ii. The PIAs working in the State have got placement tie –up mainly with employers outside the State. Migration to other States for job has not been attractive enough for the candidates.
