Forewords

The economic reforms commenced in 1991 has successfully put the economy in a higher growth orbit with more than 8 percent growth rate in total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) especially during the recent years. However, the agriculture sector which accounted for more than 30 percent of total GDP at the beginning of reforms failed to maintain its pre- reform growth. The agriculture growth being essential element of the strategy of making growth more inclusive, the NDC advised the State Governments on 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 Latur district is prepared for achieving sustainable agricultural growth with improved farmers’ income through participatory process involving stakeholders and various organizations. By establishing strong linkages with required institutional support services the plan will ensure optimum utilization of scarce national, physical and financial resources.

The C-DAP envisages and abides to achieve sustainable growth in agriculture, as well as ensure the growth in allied sectors. Enhancing food security, improving net income and raising the socio-economic status of the farmers and the intended targets is under consideration while preparation and finalization of this C-DAP. Major crops of the District, which have the key role in economic development of the District has been given due consideration. While preparing the C-DAP of the District, different growth drivers were used within the expected growth simulations expected by the NDC in the twelfth plan.

As per the guidelines and Objectives issued by the NDC through Government of Maharashtra and in connection to the concern expressed by the National Development Council (NDC) about slow development in the Agriculture and allied sector, the District planning unit prepared C-DAP of Latur District to address the issues and ensure the development. An attempt has been made to ensure efficient and effective utilization of the available resources to formulate the new schemes and upgrade the existing schemes. The linkages with various line departments, organizations and stake holders were also focussed for its formation, strengthening and utilization to serve the purpose.

This plan is prepared by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Latur with the help of District Planning Team constituted of the District officers from department of Agriculture and allied departments, planning wing of the District.

The collective and organized efforts of the officers of various departments to prepare this document are duly acknowledge. Their effort has led this document to come into existence

Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17 Executive Summary Agriculture is the major source of income of the District. It provides sustenance for the vast majority of our population. But, discrete rainfall situation causes failure of the crops and decreased crop yield, in the last few years. There has been a loss in the momentum which arised deeper problem in agriculture. The major focus of the plan is on agriculture and allied activities. The present comprehensive Agriculture policy after taking a careful note of the harsh realities backed by necessary figures and statistics has stressed the need to act on the following aspects.

Agriculture To increase the crop productivity in the said plan the policy emphasised on the important of Micro irrigation by providing subsidy to the micro irrigation equipment, dissemination of need based technologies and demonstrating the same at the gross root level so that farmers will be educated in identifying the constraints in the crop production. In the recent years, supply of quality seeds is gaining importance, which also finds a place in the plan which certainly helps farmers producer company to produce and market the quality seed. Importance has been given to increase the area under pulses to meet the demand.

Horticulture Latur District blessed with soil and assumed rainfall situation for cultivation of irrigated as well as dryland horticulture crops like mango, grapes, pomegranate, Custard apple, guava. But farmers are not getting better remuneration from these crops due to various reasons like distress, irregular flowering, pest and diseases problem, hailstorm and decline in ground water etc. So plan emphasises more on construction of protective cultivation, HRD, rejuvenation of old orchards and community tanks for protective irrigation coupled with area expansion of fruits including the dry land horticulture crops and medicinal and aromatic plants. As mentioned above, the major constraints of the horticultural production is the irrigation and marketing. So importance has been given to bore well recharging, micro irrigation and rainwater harvesting with the help of community tank. Also emphasis is given on post harvest management and production of export quality production of fruits and vegetables.

Watershed Development The focus of the plan is to conserve soil and moisture as well as to put to the best use according their capabilities to improve the overall productivity of the catchments in a holistic way. To achieve this, the plan emphasises on construction of farm ponds, holistic watershed approach through NWDPRA and allied programmes. Promotion of in-situ soil water conservation on farmer's field with participatory method is also focussed.

Animal husbandry Development The plan concentrates on increasing the high yielding cattle and buffalos population of the District by providing necessary facilities. Along with up gradation of local cattle through effective A.I. programmes and A.I. delivery system, Strengthening of distribution of hatcheries involving SHG and producer associations, Breed village scheme for sheep and goat development and scientific infertility tackling programme for dairy animals also development of high- tech market facilities for meat and milk markets. Also emphasis will be given on increase in the no. of milk parlours at village level.

Fisheries Development With the main objective of increasing the production of fish from tanks, river and reservoir fishery various development schemes finds a place in the District plan, placing greater importance on production cum employment oriented activities. With the increased demand for fish, all the tanks and ponds and village tanks in the District will be brought under fish culture.

Page 5

Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17 Women SHG’s will be trained and promoted for fish production. This can be achieved through strengthening of co-operative fishing societies, providing fish culture and assistance for purchase of fishing equipment.

Social forestry There is better scope for increasing the plantation in the District. The farmers and other institutions will be encourages for plantation and road-side plantation. To make available a large number of sapling nurseries, rural youths will be encouraged for establishment of forest nurseries. Farmers income will be increased only when they get the remunerative prices, in times of distress sales, the produce needs value addition which finds a place in the plan through Agro processing, Public private partnership participation and providing right information to the farmers by strengthening the extension system.

Sericulture Development Farmers in the District are inclined towards the sericulture, as an allied activity. Latur District falls under non traditional area for sericulture; however scope exists for improvement. Hence the plan proposal includes subsidy for new plantations of mulberry and erection of rearing house.

Agricultural Marketing Development Agricultural marketing plays a pivotal role in strengthening the economy of a producer with the main objective of achieving marketing efficiency. District plan emphasise on the overall development by constructing the rural go downs, providing cold storage facilities grading units, packing units. Importance has been given for the organising fruit melas, producers- consumers exhibitions, Grain Mohotstava, Shetkari Bazar to promote the marketing.

Public Private Partnership To achieve targeted growth of 4.0%, Public Private Partnership finds place in the District XII five Year Plan as an alternative with regard to the Value addition and contract farming in Soybean, Pulses ans Maize crop. Also, to promote oilseeds industries; production, procurement processing and redistribution of certified seeds at gram Panchayat level, Establishment of organic retail sale points at District level, Establishment of cold storage and go downs, participatory organic farming and watershed development are some other areas wherein the PPP approach can play a vital role

1.1 Introduction

About half of our population is either wholly or significantly dependant for their livelihoods on some form of farm activity – be it crop agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry or fisheries. With low levels of infrastructure and human development, and in a context replete with inequalities and uncertainty, rural India views its future transformation with both hope and trepidation. Hence, there is a need to develop a cost effective and sustainable extension system to facilitate the farming community towards achieving prosperity and not merely productive. The Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan (C-DAP) highlights the need to implant professionalism in extension service as a device for agriculture development in the country. The responsibility of C-DAP is to bring researcher, extension workers, other stakeholders (including NGO societies, co-operative and private service providers) and farmers together to make demand driven- situation specified -multi-agency oriented C-DAP on the basis of joint diagnostic studies. On the basis of which, District extension plan and recommendations for research are to be made. Thus, CDAP is a basic document, which, spells out the goals and the mode of organising and utilising the resources and expertise facilities.

The present mechanism of planning and implementation of agricultural and allied development programs is centralised and is in isolation with each other. The planning is mainly top-down in nature and is not done without participation of concerned departments extension workers and farmers. The feedback system is very weak and thus the real field problems are not brought before the research and extension planners. The extension or research recommendations are too general covering entire agro climatic zone. The problems in agriculture differ strikingly from situation to situation. It is therefore necessary to develop participatory location specific and need based research and extension recommendation and the activities to achieve those objectives of C-DAP.

Immediately after independence extension was focused on human and community development. It subsequently shifted to food crop production, with the view of food security. Later on, the extension was used as tool in achieving Green Revolution. The extension activities were however limited to agriculture and other line departments like Animal Husbandry, Fisheries, and Social Forestry. The primary focused on provision of subsidies inputs and services to farmer with little attention to extension. After the implementation of T and V system of extension, it was recognised that it needed to be overhauled to agitate the needs of 21st century farmers. It was recognised that extension should be broad based utilising the farming system approach. Attention should be paid to the needs of farmers in rainfed areas and to diversify extension programs into livestock, horticulture and other high value commodities that are capable of increasing farm income.

Expansion of farm incomes is still the most potent weapon for reducing poverty. Non-farm income opportunities such as post-harvest operations, maintenance of farm equipment, etc. – offer a virtuous cycle connecting expansion of farm activity to that of rural non-farm income opportunities. It is also realised that the constraints, weaknesses and gaps of present system in Research- Extension-Farmers Linkage should be bridged.

The need for integrated local area plans, based on specific endowments and needs of each area, was stressed from the beginning of planned development. However, despite several reports and studies, only sporadic efforts and isolated cases of such planning could be located. It has therefore been decided by the Govt. of India that the 'District Plan Process' should be an integral part of the process of preparation of State's NEXT Five Year Plan. This was emphasised by the Hon’ble Prime Minister in his address to the National Development Council (NDC).

Concerned by the slow growth in the agriculture and allied sectors, the National Development Council (NDC), in its meeting held on 29 May 2007 conceived a special Additional Central Assistance Scheme (ACA) and passed a resolution to that effect. To rejuvenate agriculture during NEXT Plan, the National Development Council has reaffirmed its commitment to achieve a growth rate of 4 % per annum. As agriculture growth is an essential element of the strategy to make growth more inclusive, the NDC in its resolution advised the State Governments to prepare Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan (C- DAP) that will fully utilise available resources and will include allied agriculture sectors.

The CDAP of Latur District was prepared initially for 2007-12 and was followed to achieve targeted goals. The successive CDAP 2012-17, is in continuation with the earlier. It is based on the participatory methodology directed by MANAGE, Hyderabad. The Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan 2012-17 for Latur District is prepared by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Latur with the help of following line departments and organizations:

 State agriculture Department  State Animal Husbandry Department  State Fisheries Department  State Forest Department  State Dairy Development Department  State Sericulture Department  State Agriculture University  NGOs and farmers in the selected villages

1.2 Objectives of District Planning

Page 10 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17 The objective of district planning is to design an integrated and participatory action plan for the development of local area in general and agriculture and allied sectors in particular. The planning process should be initiated at grass root level i.e. at village / G.P. Level and obviously the planners at village level will have to collect the basic primary data. The objectives of Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan (C-DAP) are:  To prepare a Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan (C-DAP) through participatory process involving various organisations and stakeholders.  To enable optimum utilisation of scarce natural, physical & financial resources.  To assess and plan for the infrastructure required to support the agriculture development.  To establish linkages with the required institutional support services, like credit, technology transfer, ICT, research etc.  To evolve an action plan for achieving sustainable agricultural growth with food security and cropping system that will improve farmers’ income.

It is hoped that this document will depict the general farming system picture of Latur District and information about plan for extension and research in agriculture and allied fields taking the farmers prosperity as basic concern.

To rejuvenate agriculture during XI Five-Year Plan, the NDC (National Development Council) has set a target of achieving a growth rate of 4 per cent with the strategy of making agriculture growth more inclusive. To achieve this, the NDC in its resolution advised the state governments to prepare Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan (CDAP) which is a comprehensive documentation of agriculture and allied sectors, both inphysical and financial terms. The Department of Agriculture, Government of India, in compliance to the above resolution and in consultation with the Planning Commission, has prepared necessary guidelines for the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) scheme, to be known as NADP/RKVY. One of the important features of RKVY is to achieve 4 per cent annual growth in the agriculture sector during XI plan period by ensuring a holistic development of agriculture and allied sectors. The RKVY, a State Plan Scheme, intends to motivate respective states to increase public investment in agriculture and allied sectors by giving them much needed autonomy in planning and executing the same based on agro-climatic conditions. Through an integrated approach RKVY aims to achieve the goal of reducing the yield gaps, maximise returns to the farmers and bring about quantifiable changes in the production and productivity of the various components of agriculture and allied sectors. Under RKVY, the District is expected to formulate a District agriculture plan by taking into account the resources available from the on-going schemes such as Backward Region Grant Fund (BRGF), Swarnajayanthi Gram Swarojgar Yojana (SGRY), National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS), Bharat Nirman etc., and such a District plan

Page 11 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17 should aim at projecting the requirements for the development of agriculture and allied sectors within an overall development perspective of the District.

The plan should also present the financial requirement and the sources of financing the agriculture development plans in a comprehensive way. Thus, the preparation of the District agriculture plan is an elaborate, exhaustive and iterative process. As such every care is taken to ensure the CDAP is properly and comprehensively made.

1.3 Methodology

Keeping the above objectives and guidelines by TSG-CDAP, the District plan has been prepared considering the various parameters and modalities. As stated earlier, a holistic approach is needed for the development of agriculture sector. Hence, while preparing the CDAP, almost all the sectors/programmes concerning rural development, farming and vulnerable sections have been taken into consideration. The important sectors/programmes include: horticulture; sericulture; fishery; animal husbandry; watershed; agricultural marketing; technology and extension etc. The CDAP for XII Five- Year Plan is prepared keeping the XI Five-Year Plan parameters as benchmark. The main problems encountered in the agricultural sector are investment, gaps in the yields, production and productivity levels, infrastructure, technology and extension, interdependence of various sectors etc. have been analysed in detail. For the systematic and scientific planning, a SWOT analysis of the District has been done. Further, the growth drivers of the District, the innovative schemes suitable and supportive for higher growth in agriculture are included in the plan. The data base for proposed plan is both quantitative and qualitative. The former is based on secondary sources, and the latter on the observations and discussions held with various stakeholders like progressive farmers, elected representatives of Panchayat raj institutions (PRIs) at different levels, voluntary and non government organisations. The CDAP is prepared broadly on the framework suggested by the Planning Commission i.e. decentralised and integrated approach. As per this direction, the plan preparation begins with consultation process with stakeholders at different stages starting from the village (gram panchayat) level. The consultations began with leaders/model farmers, presidents and vice presidents and knowledgeable members of GPs. The same method was adopted at the TP and ZP levels. In particular, the members of Standing Committees for planning and agriculture were actively involved throughout the preparation of the CDAP. Above all, guidance and advice was sought from time to time from the Scientists of the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore and Economists and Experts in Decentralisation of the Institute for Social and Economic Change, Bangalore. The senior Officers of the

Page 12 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17

Department of Agriculture at the state level were also provided opportunities for interactive discussions on the draft plan; they gave useful inputs and suggestions from time to time.

1.4 Steps in preparation of C-DAP In order to prepare Comprehensive District Agriculture Plan (C-DAP), following steps were undertaken:  Orientation of District Level Officers and Scientist on C-DAP  Identification of Multidisciplinary teams of officers  Training of Multidisciplinary Teams  Identification of villages  Field survey  Compilation and presentation of data  Consolidation of data  Preparation of C-DAP report  Orientation of District Level Officers and Scientists on C-DAP

District level officers from agriculture and line department’s scientists from Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Zonal Research Station (ZRS) Head of Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) and NGOs were included for orientation Program. This program was organised to introduce the concepts and principles of C-DAP to participants. The inputs from Officers from Agriculture and concerned line departments viz. Animal Husbandry Dairy Development, Fisheries, Sericulture and Social Forestry were included in the C-DAP preparation.

1.4.1 Identification of Multidisciplinary teams of officers The Multidisciplinary teams comprising of extension officers scientists (research workers) and representative of KVKs and NGOs were selected to collect the necessary primary and secondary information (data) from the District. The members of these teams were from Agriculture Animal Husbandry, Dairy Development, Fisheries, Sericulture and Social Forestry Departments. To strengthen the team some members were also selected from State Agriculture University Zonal Research Station (ZRS) Heads of Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) and NGOs.

1.4.2 Field survey The primary data collection was collected from villages by using PRA techniques. While conducting PRA the co-operation from farmers and landless villagers was obtained. Due consideration was also given to the participation of women members of villages. Detail field visits were also carried out to understand field problems and the secondary data was

1.5 Development of Agriculture Sector

Issues of food security have moved to the forefront of international discussions in recent years and in this context, the question is sometimes asked whether India will be able to feed herself or become dependent on food imports. The fact is that we have been a net exporter of cereals for most years since 1990. In 2010-11, despite bans on export of wheat and non-basmati rice, India exported over 5 million tones of cereals comprising 2 million tonnes of basmati rice and 3 million tonnes of corn, while simultaneously adding substantially to stocks of wheat and rice. Also, the balance of evidence suggests that there is enough untapped potential for productivity improvements on Indian farms to enable us to meet cereal demand from domestic production without having to become dependent on food grain imports on a net basis. The key to ensuring long-run food security lies in targeting cereals productivity to increase significantly faster than the growth in population, so that adequate land becomes available for other agricultural use. To identify the issues related to productivity enhancement, natural resource conservation, input management etc.; the following sectors were thoroughly discussed leading to agriculture development:  Water management  Soil nutrient management  Soil health  Chemical fertilizer use efficiency  New technologies for farm sector  Rainfed agriculture  Seed system  Promotion of IPM/INM  Livestock & fisheries  Linking small producers with market  Land Use  Water Resources and Management  Major Crops and Varieties in the District  Input management  Farm Mechanisation/ Farm equipments  Special Projects/ Programmes ongoing in the District

2.5 Land holding in Latur DIstrict There are a total number of 388916 cultivators in Latur District operating 640681 hectares of land. Table – 2.10 shows the number of cultivators with the size of land holding as well as the area of land operated by them. There are 37.8 % cultivators holding land below 1 hectare (or marginal farmers); but they are operating only 13.98 % of the total land operated. The small farmers holds 36.6 % of land and operate 31.44 % of total land. In this way the marginal and small farmers together formed 74.4 % of the total land, and they operated 45.42% of the total land operated. Cultivator holding 2-4 ha of land are 18.9 and operated 30.75% of land. Another group of farmers holding 4 to 10 ha of land is 6.25 and they operated 20.95% of the total land. The last group of large farmers formed only 0.36% of total cultivators, but operated 2.95 % total land. This indicates on unequal distribution of land in Latur district. The average size of holding of all cultivators in Latur was 1.65 ha.

Chapter III SWOT Analysis of the District

Page 43 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17

SWOT Analysis of the District

The key objective of preparing the C-DAP is to enhance the productivity and production of agriculture and allied activities by means of cumulative efforts with allied departments. The other objectives are poverty alleviation, social justice, creation of infrastructure and optimum utilization of available resources in the district.

3.1 SWOT Analysis

We set certain objectives like enhancing productivity and production, use of natural resources, resource conservation, food security, social justice and minimizing poverty. SWOT analysis is to look at the possibilities of achieving them from the input end. It helps to check the existing conditions which would affect the future programme. Strengths and weaknesses are two internal attributes of the district while opportunities and threats are of external environment.

Analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats is called SWOT Analysis and is an effective tool in decision making. The job of the Development Administration is to:

 Capitalize upon the strengths;  Minimise the effect of weaknesses;  Take advantage of opportunities; and  Avoid or overcome threats.

3.1.1 Strength is the potential in the form of available resources for future development. It may be underutilized or unutilized. It do not get translated into development until they are matched with opportunities. It shows the pathway for the future development. It creates an opportunities for advanced development.

3.1.2 Weaknesses are negative aspects or liabilities which tend to make it less effective on its path of development. They are of two types:

i) the incurable ones, and, ii) the correctible ones.

Page 44 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17

These are the constraints for the development. Some of the weakness can be reduced by means of creating awareness and infrastructure and some of the weakness are no curable. People are not practicing recommended methodology leads to less productivity.

Weaknesses cause great harm when they are matched with threats from the environment. An example may be, of poor agricultural practices subject to uncertain climate conditions. Similarly, obsolete technology is a weakness. Old traditions inhibit acceptance of improvements and to that extent add to the harm of that weakness.

3.1.3 Opportunity: as used in this chapter is any chance to follow a new or revised strategy which would benefit the district in the process of growth and development. Opportunities always exist and only need to be identified. Most opportunities have to be sought. In a few cases, they have to be and can be created. The focus of development administration must always be on identifying additional opportunities, selecting those which are most promising and capitalizing on them.

3.1.4 Threats are probable events which can seriously hamper the process of development in the district. Threats always exist. They become less severe if they are recognized soon enough and care is taken to guard against them. The development process should avoid the threats in the environment or overcome them.

The Latur District can be broadly divided into following agro-ecological situations (AES):

Development in Agriculture Sector

Page 51 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17

CHAPTER IV DEVELOPMENT IN AGRICULTURE SECTOR

4.1 Introduction

Agriculture is the major occupation of majority of the population in Latur District. Economic, industrial, educational, social development of this area is dependent on agricultural production. Despite of higher portion of per capita availability of food over time it did not increase significantly. At present the growth rate of agricultural production is less than 2%. The growth rate of production in agriculture must be more than the growth rate of population. Hence, there is an urgent need to accelerate agricultural growth to address issues on food security, nutritional adequacy and income generation. This can be achieved by identifying the problems in crop production, infrastructure facilities, issues related to the natural resources, input management and accordingly there is need to improve agricultural services keeping in view the vision and objectives.

Agriculture sector continues to be the pivotal sector in the economy of Latur District. The Whole District divided in six agro ecological situation. Soybean, pigeon pea, kharif sorghum, green gram, black gram are the major kharif rainfed crops in the District. Whereas, Bengal gram, rabi sorghum, wheat, safflower, sunflower are major rabi crops. Sugarcane is the key cash crop of the District. The average yields of major crops are much less than the potential. Even though, some progressive farmers are harvesting potential yield by following the improved crop production technologies.

4.2 Dissemination of improved technologies

4.2.1 Water Management The first and perhaps the most important component is vastly superior water management. These include a wide and diverse range of problems, objectives and means of resolution; namely:

 Extensive rainwater harvesting  Move towards sprinkler and drip irrigation and away from flood irrigation  Assuring irrigation to much more land far beyond the present 17.0 per cent  Strengthening of drinking water resources  Steps to greatly improve governance in water management through Water User Associations such as Pani Panchayats

Page 52 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17

 A focus on Command Area Development  Comprehensive aquifer mapping and extensive ground water recharge.  Integration of these activities with existing surface reservoir based canal irrigation.

4.2.2 Micro-irrigation schemes to ensure access of irrigation water on more areas and encouragement of efficient methods of water-use are a natural extension to efforts in rainwater- harvesting and decentralized impounding of water, including that in farm ponds. National Mission on Micro Irrigation is being implemented to address the issue. Imaginative use of these initiatives can enable assured protective irrigation for less water intensive crops in the rainfed regions.

The District has hardly 17 per cent of irrigated area which calls for the urgent adoption of the micro-irrigation technologies, so that the area under irrigated crops can be increased and it enable assured protective irrigation for less water intensive dry land crops. Also, the adoption of micro-irrigation systems, will improve the crop productivity considerably. Mostly farmers depend upon the canal and ground water resources for irrigation. The use of groundwater has increased manifold. The exploitation of groundwater has seriously affected the water level in the district.

Keeping this view, it is proposed to provide micro-irrigation systems on subsidy to the farmers.

4.2.3 Seed production and processing Seeds are a critical input for long-term sustained growth of agriculture. Timely availability of certified quality seeds with good yield potential continues to be a major problem. In Latur DIstrict, more than 20% of farmers rely on farm-saved seeds leading to a low seed replacement rate. Concerted efforts are essential in ensuring timely availability of seeds as well as increasing the Seed Replacement Rate (SRR). There is also a need to look for synergies with the private sector so that the SRR will be enhanced. The responsibility of ensuring adequate seed availability to the farmers lies with the agencies involved in making available certified seeds from the breeder seeds.

Rainfed areas are vulnerable to high climatic risks and the seed systems have to be oriented towards meeting shortages on account of this risk. In rainfed areas, wastage of seeds due to prolonged dry monsoon spells immediately after sowing is a very common occurrence. In such a situation maintaining seed diversity is important from the point of view of reducing rainfall risks. There has to be an assured availability of a second batch of seeds for repeat sowing, if the first sowing fails. In cases of prolonged dry spells, the local seed systems must be capable of providing seeds of contingency or alternative crops. Fodder seeds are always a scarce resource which local seed systems could produce and supply.

Page 53 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17

Therefore, it is proposed to adopt a comprehensive approach to make availability of certified seeds of all major crops in requisite quantities to all farmers over the Plan Period. The Plan is proposed in such a way that the seeds are produced on the farmers’ fields through ‘Seed Village scheme’ (Grambijotpadan) by the farmers group. Produced seed is processed in the seed processing units run by farmers group. Seed processing facilities/units will be provided to the farmers group on subsidy basis; so that the seeds are made available to the farmers in the village itself. Since it is an uphill task for the institutions to co-ordinate seed production on a large scale on account of paucity of required infrastructure, it is planned to train farmers, farmers group, SHG and NGO at village leve for seed production, processing and marketing. The programme of seed banks in villages (Gram-bijotpadan) could ensure that a range of seed material is maintained. A group of farmers/shetkari Gat can be designed to cover a specified village/area, depending on the extent of purchased seed and the rate of seed replacement. These seed banks should be considered as a necessary common infrastructure for rainfed farms supported by the government on a regular basis. Over time, these seed centres may become autonomous and self-reliant.

4.2.4 Need based demonstrations To disseminate the technology (/ies) of crop production, crop protection and improvement, it is proposed to take up intensive location specific demonstrations in all major crops of the District with emphasis on one or two of the most productivity-influencing factors.

4.2.5 Encouragement to farm mechanization Timely availability of labourers for different farm operation is a critical input for any crop production. The major threat of the District is migration of labours from village to urban area for non agricultural work. This leads to shortage of labour for the farm work. Timely availability of labourers continues to be a major problem. Concerted efforts are essential for mechanizing the farm operation. This situation is alarming for mechanizing the farm operation. Therefore, there is need to promote mechanization / improved agricultural equipments/technologies. With the decrease in land holding per capita, the equipment bank will provide sustenance in the crop

Page 54 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17 production. In this context, there is need to subsidize the tractors and tractor, tractor operated equipments and bullock drawn implements to farmers group, small and marginal farmers and SC/ST and women farmers.

4.2.6 Encouragement for scientific storage Storage of agricultural produce enables to get remunerative prices for farmers. Distress sales may be avoided. Storage facilities are also utilized for stocking of various inputs like seeds, fertilizers and pesticides for timely supply to farmers. Subsidies should be given to the Institutes or Self Help Groups or to the Registered Farmer Clubs.

4.2.7 Post harvest management and Value addition Latur District is bowl of pulses and well known for tur dal in the Maharashtra State. Post harvest management and value addition to these crops such as pigeon pea and Bengal gram offers scope for agro processing. Small processing units should be supplied at subsidised rates. Participation of private entrepreneurs should be encouraged by awareness programmes at all the levels. The PHM and value addition in horticultural crops like Mango and pomegranate is also given due consideration.

4.2.8 Scope for Public-Private Partnership Approach The centralized approach through PPP in seed production may play key role to meet quality seed demand. This approach is based on seed production, procurement of seeds, certification and redistribution of certified seeds to farmers. The innovative/progressive farmers will be involved in seed production programme. Also, these farmers will be trained through trainings, arranging field visits, farmer-scientist-extension staff interactions, agricultural exhibitions, etc through PPP approach. This will train the farmers in seed production and led to trained man-power required for quality seed production. Management and maintenance of Agro-processing units and storage of Go-downs and Community-owned organic manures, bio-pesticides and bio-agent production units can be established, strengthen and managed to its full potential through PPP approach The major crops of the District i.e. soybean and pigeon pea and Bengal gram provides major area and higher scope for PPP.

4.2.9 Infrastructure development During the cropping season farmers are busy in their agricultural related works hence, it becomes difficult for the farmers to come to the training centers and equip with the recent technologies, so it is proposed to provide well equipped decentralized training centres at Taluka polyclinic so that

Page 55 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17 farmers can be educated from these training centres. Knowledge cum resource center is proposed to establish through RKVY at KVK, Latur. 4.2.10 Integrated crop management through farmers field schools In the recent past, number of crops has been suffered due to the heavy attack of pests and diseases due to cultivation of same variety year by year, improper crop management, erratic rainfall, and other environmental factors. Some of these are rust and spodeptera attack on soybean, Bollworm in green gram, leaf minor in ground nut, bacterial blight in pomegranate etc. Hence, there is need to address these issues with the intervention of integrated pest & disease management by using bio-pesticides. The demand for bio-pesticides will be fulfilled through bio- control laboratories. Therefore, it is proposed to establish bio-control laboratory in the District. Also, to cope up with these problems, farmers need to be trained through the farmers field schools.

4.2.11 Strengthening Extension A consortium of successful farmers, extension personnel and scientists will be established at Taluka level to provide to address on-field problems/difficulties. Strengthening the Extension wing of the ATMA, KVK and state department of agriculture is proposed.

4.2.12 Natural resource management module The livelihood of poor farmers in dry land area will be improved through the adoption of low cost integrated natural resources management technologies by developing micro watershed through remote sensing – G.I.S techniques and to develop ecologically sustainable farming systems.

5.3 Horticulture Development in Latur District

Latur District has diversified fruit and vegetable production which includes mango, banana, grapes, pomegranate, tamarind and custard apple. Farmers are diversified towards pomegranate on large scale in the recent years. The horticulture industry generates income through its quality of fruit and vegetable production and productivity. It also creates employment opportunities and enhances nutritional security of the farmers in the District.

Page 68 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17

Area under horticulture crops during 2011-12 has increased to 4553 ha with production of 71226 MT. Latur owing to its very good soil and climate, is enriched with natural resources and suitable for growing export quality of grapes, mango and pomegranate. Utilization of these resources will strengthen horticulture industry.

5.3.1 Development of fruit crops Among irrigated fruit crops grape is important fruit crop which is grown on 427 hectare. The fruits of table purpose varieties are transported to distant markets in north India. Even efforts have been made to export the grapes in western markets. There is good scope for grapes export. The erratic rainfall situation has posed problems ahead of grape growers, especially the uncertain rain at the time of fruit maturity/harvesting. Therefore, a separate proposal on anti-hail nets for protecting grape orchards is being submitted separately. Pomegranate is another emerging crop of the District, which is more remunerative and sturdy. The plantation of pomegranate has increased considerably. There is good scope for increasing the area under this crop. With the decrease in area in western Maharashtra, Latur District has wider scope for area expansion. Comparatively there are less problems in the cultivation of this crop and under proper management practices much more higher yields can be obtained. Therefore, pomegranate cultivation may be more profitable than normal field crops. Hence, a proposal on Export quality production of pomegranate & integrated value chain development is submitted.

5.3.2 Development of Vegetable crops The vegetables are essential in our daily diet. There is much more demand for fresh vegetables in urban areas. Even in rural areas the awareness for the consumption of vegetables in daily diet has increased. With the increase in area under irrigation the area under vegetable crops will increase. The vegetables can be grown throughout the year and is may be source of daily income. In Kharif season cucurbits, tomato, brinjal, beans, chilli, bhendi, potato etc. Vegetables can be grown in all talukas of Latur district. In rabi season tomato, chilli, potato, cabbage, cauliflower, pea, carrot, radish, leafy vegetables can be grown and in summer season watermelon, muskmelon, cucumber, bhendi, cowpea, cluster bean can be grown. Thus farmers can take the vegetable crops round the year and can earn handsome monitory returns. During 12th plan the area under vegetable cultivation can be extended upto 7000 ha. With the increase targeted of area and production, there is need to train farmers in production technology as well as develop a chain farmer-production-storage-market link. So that the quality produce will be marketed in the country. A proposal is being submitted on Value chain development for vegetable crop in Latur district under PPP mode.

Page 69 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17

5.3.3 Vegetable seed production With the increase in the area under different vegetable crops, the demands for vegetable seeds will also increase. The seed producing companies are mainly engaged in the production of seeds of field crops like cotton, jowar, bajra etc. Comparatively less effort are taken for vegetable seed production. The progressive farmers in Latur district can takeup the production of seeds of different vegetable crops especially onion, chili etc.

5.3.4 Development in fruit crop nursery The demand for planting material of fruit crops is increasing from the farmers. It is therefore, very much essential to increase the production of nursery plants on large scale. In Latur district the govt. nurseries located at Chakur and Nilanga are engaged in production of planting material of different fruit crops. Besides Government nurseries, the private nurseries are also engaged in the production of nursery plants. These nurseries should also be provided additional facilities. However, for fulfilling the increased demands by the fruit growers of the district, it would be essential to increase the production of grafts/seedlings manifold. Therefore, there is scope to establish/strengthen govt. as well as private nurseries. For this purpose the nurseries should be provided additional funds. A separate proposal for establishment/strengthening of State Government and KVK nurseries is being submitted.

5.3.5 Development in vegetable nursery Similarly, the farmers are inclined towards the vegetable crops. The area under vegetable crops has increased considerably. Also, farmers are preferring vegetable seedling, rather than producing seedlings on their own farm. Therefore, there is scope to train youths/interested farmers for the establishment of vegetable nursery to meet the demand of farmers. For this purpose a high-tech vegetable nursery should be established for training and production of vegetable seedlings. A separate proposal is submitted for establishment of high-tech vegetable nursery mainly for training and seedling production.

Page 70 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17

5.3.6 Development of floriculture Floriculture is flourishing industry and there is considerable scope for expansion of the area under different flower crops in all the talukas of Latur district. The crops like rose, marigold, gaillardia etc. can be grown throughout the year and there is good demand for these flowers. The farmers in Latur district can take the cultivation of flowers in open conditions on their farms. Similarly, the high tech cultivation of flowers in green houses has gained very much significance during last decade. In green houses, it is possible to produce the flowers like aster, carnation, gerbera, rose etc. throughout the year. There is good demand for these flowers in urban cities. Therefore, there is scope for production of flowers in green house for export purpose. With such type of high tech cultivation of flowers the farmers can produce high yields in a very small place and can earn good monetary returns.

5.3.7 Post harvest handling of horticultural produce Most of the horticultural produce is perishable in nature and the losses of 20 to 40 per cent occur during handling of produce. These losses can be minimized by proper handling of the produce. The cold storages, pre-cooling centres, refrigated vans for transport, proper packaging, storage and marketing can reduce the losses to greater extent.

5.3.8 Post harvest handling of horticultural produce The farmers and the village level extension workers need the trainings in Horticulture on different aspects of production, marketing, processing, export etc. A proposal for a training centre has been prepared. Finally it can be said that in Latur district the development of Horticulture with the growth rate of 10 per cent can be attended for over all development of Agriculture at the rate of 4 per cent and the financial position of the farmers can be improved by talking horticultural crops.

5.3.9 Plan Outlay Following shows the XII Plan outlay for horticulture under stream I Rs. 922.00 lakhs and under stream II Rs. 4946.12 lakhs.

5.4 Sericulture Sericulture, an agro leased activity, is one of the highly remunerative and employment generating industry gaining popularity in many non-traditional states of the country. India is the second largest producer of raw silk and the largest consumer of silk products in the world. India has a tradition and culture bound strong domestic market for silk. Sericulture has been quite significant for India for the following reasons:

 Employment opportunities in the Sericulture Sector  Sericulture can be practiced with very low land holding  Low Gestation & High returns on Investment  Eco friendly activity  Availability of natural Vanya silkworm food plantation

By adopting stipulated package of practices a farmer can obtain net income levels up to Rs. 75,000/- to Rs. 1,00,000/- per hectare per annum. Maharashtra State still lacks in the self sufficiency of mulberry silk yarn requirement. Therefore, there is a lot of potential for the development of sericulture in the State. Sericulture development, particularly mulberry area and silkworm cocoon production increased substantially after 2006 in Latur District. Sericulture development in Latur District is not traditional but started in recent years. The agro climatic condition, soil etc., are quite favourable for cultivation of mulberry and silk worm rearing. The irrigation has been a factor influencing the growth of mulberry cultivation in the District. At present the area under mulberry is 38.7 hectares. The average holding of mulberry garden per Sericulturist in the District is 0.53 hectares. The development of sericulture envisages expansion of area under mulberry mostly through institutional credit. During 12th five year plan the target of 331.60 hectares of mulberry cultivation is planned. More than 600 families of the District will be engaged in sericulture activities. Sericulture farmers mostly depend on Departmental staff for silk worm rearing and cocoon production.

5.4.1 Constraints for low productivity The average productivity of cocoons per hectare was low i.e. 355.4 kg. The constraints for the same are as under:-

 Low consumption of DFLS by the farmers.  Inadequate utilization of mulberry leaves.  Lack of infrastructural facilities for farmers training with District Sericulture Office, Latur.  Inadequate Technical Staff.  Meagre Area of Mulberry plantation under bivoltine CSR hybrids.

Page 75 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17

 No chawki rearing facilities in the District.  Delayed payment to the farmers by the Sericulture Department against purchase of cocoons.  No private cocoon relearn and cocoon purchase market in the District.  Low adoption of improved and recommended technologies of mulberry cultivation and silkworm rearing by the farmers.

5.4.2 Strategies and schemes proposed for sericulture development Following strategies and new schemes besides existing schemes are proposed to increase the productivity and production of cocoons in Latur District.

5.4.3 Mulberry plantation development programme Grants are provided for mulberry development for preparation / cost of cuttings, inputs for raising saplings, direct plantation, and transportation cost etc. Assistance is provided to the extent of Rs. 94.60 Lakh during the XII plan period.

5.4.4 Assistance for construction of rearing house Under Catalytic Development Programme a subsidy 50% has been proposed for three models of rearing houses (a) 50,000 (b) 1,00,000 & (c) 1,50,000 each. The share of State & Centre would be 25% each & that of beneficiary 50%. Assistance is provided to the extent of Rs. 105.00 Lakh during the XII plan period. It is necessary to do lot of extension work and undertake farmer’s training in improved technologies of Bivoltine hybrids and to provide facilities so as to reach large number of farmer’s in Latur District to produce more and more bivoltine hybrids. Plan Outlay The assistance of Rs. 199.59 lakh is proposed for strengthening ongoing schemes under sericulture.

5.5 Animal Husbandry World famous Deoni breed of cattle is the pride of Latur district. The livestock resources of Latur District are of the order of 1175932 animal comprising of cattle, buffaloes, sheep, goats, pigs and poultry etc. Taking into consideration the moderate price of Rs. 10,000/- per cattle unit, the livestock resources of Latur District amount to the order of 1175 crores of rupees as a fixed asset. This generates the products like milk, work (draft), meat, poultry meat, eggs, wool, skins / hides and organic manure. Details of livestock population Viz of cows, buffaloes, sheep, goats and poultry are provided in the enclosed table. For providing breeding services health cover and disease control there are 134 Veterinary institutes in the district. Their details along with manpower available are provided in the appended table (table No. 8). Details of other infrastructure facilities available like procurement of milk, collecting societies / agencies, details of production of milk, meat, poultry meat, eggs and wool etc. are provided along with the details of number of Artificial Inseminations carried out, number of calves born, treatment and vaccinations carried out etc. are also provided in the appended table in the appropriate sections of the Project Report. Infrastructure gaps have to be filled and increase the extension and training programmes Provision of AI facility in all the GPs and training of rural unemployed youths in A1 technique need to be taken up. Initiatives that need to be considered by strengthening existing schemes/new schemes are: Bridge yield gaps, improve extension services, improved productivity, improved value of production, improved technology, dissemination have been incorporated in the annexure.

5.5.1 Constraints for shortfall during 11th five year plan period a) For milk production  Shortage of high yielding bred cows and graded buffaloes  Failure to supply balanced feeds to the milking animals.  Lack of grazing lands, green fodder and forage crops.  Lack of qualified technical man power as per Veterinary Council’s specifications.  Lack of infrastructure facilities for overall veterinary services.  Heavy infestation of animals by ecto and endo parasites.  Existence of endemic dreadful diseases.  Lack of skill/ knowledge of technologies amongst the farmers b) For meat production  Deforestation and encroachment by agriculturists

5.6 DAIRYING Women constitute 70 percent of the labour force in livestock farming. As the ownership of Livestock is more evenly distributed with landless labourers and marginal farmers, the progress in this sector will result in a more balanced development of the rural economy. Animal Husbandry and Dairying will receive high priority in the efforts for generating wealth and employment increasing the availability of animal protein in the food basket.

Latur District being industrially backward and mostly dependent on rainfed agriculture Animal Husbandry especially dairy activities deserves attention as a source of supplementary income and employment to the rural masses. Milk production is helping to raise living standard of marginal farmers, unemployed youth, small farmers and women labourers etc. even from the drought prove areas of the district. However, due to shortage of feed and fodder etc. there no expected increase in the growth rate of milk production.

5.6.1 Strategies to enhance milk production

Breeds and Breeding The breeding policy is aimed for increasing milk production. Under this up-grading and cross- breeding of Deshi as well as cross- breed cows by using semen of exotic bulls of H.F. and Jersey breeds be used. For up-grading native buffaloes, semen from Murrah and Surti buffalo bulls should be arranged at optimum time and preferably at the door-step of the farmer-breeders. This will help in achieving better conception rate resulting in more umber of pregnancies, giving birth to genetically improved progeny. At present door-step delivery of breeding services can not be provided for want of vehicles or conveyance allowance or monitory incentive to inseminator.

Feeds and Fodder Another important aspect of successful dairying is feeds and fodder. Three major resources of fodder supply are crop residual, cultivated fodder and fodder from common property resources like forests, permanent pastures and grazing lands. A significant portion of crop, residual, particularly wheat straw, is being wasted by wheat producing farmers by not feeding it to the animals, Emphasis should be given on enrichment of wheat straw, preparation of hay/silage to overcome fodder crisis. Two important constituents of feeding are fodder (green and dry) and concentrates. It is observed that is Latur district Jawar, Bajra, Maize and Sugar cane tops are used as fodder and that too in unchaffed condition. This results in huge wastage of fodder. Hence, to avoid wastage of fodder only chaffed material should be fed. It is also observed that majority of the farmers are

Page 85 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17 not feeding wheat straw (Bhusa), under the erroneous impression that it sticks to the animals pallet and hence animals do not accept it. It will not be out of place to mention here that, cattle/buffalo owners from Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh etc. are not finding it difficult to feed wheat straw (Bhusa) to their animals. Hence, it is necessary to persuade our farmer by demonstration of feeding wheat bhusa. In Latur district very few cattle owners are feeding Lucerne as green fodder to their animals. Sugar cane tops are being fed, but in buffaloes, it is creating problem of coffee colored urine – Hemoglobin disease. To increase the growth rate of milk production, farmers having enough land and some irrigation facilities should be persuaded to green fodder production, such as Lucerne, bur seem and more important one like Para grass.

Concentrate Feed Concentrate feed is required for body maintenance, milk production and during pregnancy period for development of calf in the womb. In Latur district, ingredients, required for concentrate mixture such as Tur, Mung, Chana churies and different oil cakes like groundnut, cotton seed, sunflower, soybean and kardi etc, are available. To prepare balaced cattle feed at economic price, wheat bran, gram, Tur and mung husk plus Jawar and bajra crushed should be added in appropriate proportion.. (Churi 40 to 55 per cent + Oil cakes 20 to 25 per cent + husk 30 to 35 per cent). Ingredients should be mixed in such a proportion that, final product should contain 16 to 18 per cent DCP and 60 to 72 per cent TDN. In addition to this, common salt at the rate of 2 per cent and 1 per cent mineral mixture should also be added to prepare complete balanced cattle feed.

Management & Disease Control Appropriate measures should be adopted for better management of young ones as well as of all other animals. It is generally observed that farmer –breeders avoid treating their new born calves, particularly male calves. Irrespective of the sex, all new born claves, should get immediately following their birth colostrums (first milk) which provides immunity against various diseases. Another important problem in these calves is that of worm infestation, either congenital of acquired. Regular deworming programme should be undertaken by using effective anthelmentics. Other details regarding vaccination, health cover (including reproductive problems) and other disease control are provided in appended separate note.

Disposal of Milk and Milk Products The bacteriological and quality of raw milk at the time of milking in India is comparable with that in the other dairying nations. Subsequently however, the quality detoriates due to improper handling

Page 86 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17 of milk, non availability of infrastructure facilities like all – weather roads, cooling facilities, potable water and regular electricity supply etc. To avoid spoilage of milk, the same should be sold immediately. If not possible, there must be infrastructure facilities, such as daily twice collection of milk and chilling facilities, etc. Individual sample testing of milk for SNF and Fat percentages will help in getting better price to honest producers. Testing results should be made available to the producer and he should get payment at regular intervals. These steps will infuse confidence in the producers and they will be encouraged to get more milch animals – thus helping for increased milk production. In certain areas, where milk collection or sale of milk is not possible, producer will be compelled to make milk products like, Ghee , Shrikhand, Khava, Paneer etc. Necessary arrangements like milk parlors on high ways near bus stands, railway stations etc. will have to be made for sale of these biproducts at remunerative price to the producers. Thus assured feed/fodder supply, facilities for milk collection, chilling, thesting and promt payment to the producer will help to increase growth, rate of milk production. Presently, 5 Govt. operated milk; routes and three more milk route operated by private agencies are collecting milk once in a day. Additional milk routes on Mantha, Ambad, Partur and Ghnasangvi areas be established, and produced milk be collected through milk tankers on contract basis. This will prove more economic as huge expenditure on purchase of vehicles, fuel/ oil, pay and allowances of drivers/ cleaners etc. can be avoided. All these multipronged strategies will help in bringing more number of producers; more number of milch animals in dairy industry and will result in increasing growth rate of milk production in Latur district.

5.6.2 Dairy Development The role of Dairy Development Department is rather shrinking and more responsibilities are now being shouldered by the Co-operative Milk Federations. Earlier, the entire cooling and related infrastructure was with the Dairy Development Department. However, during the recent past as per the State Policies, these things are being transferred to the milk federations. In the era of deliquescing and competitive market, the earlier monopoly of Co-operative and Government dairy is disappearing and more private agencies are coming in the scene. This also has an advantage of getting competitive rates for the milk to the dairy farmers / produces.

There are 595 registered co-operative milk societies in the district. However, only 386 societies are functional. Taluka-wise details of the co-operative milk societies are indicated in the appended table No. 4 Reasons for closures of 209 societies are shortage of funds, manpower and fraud etc. Details of Government Milk Scheme and Chilling Centres are as under:

In addition to this there are two co-operative Milk Sangh collecting milk in the district. These are District Co-operative Milk Sangh Udgir (Loni) and Manjra Milk Sangh, Latur. Udgir (Loni) Milk Sangh is in operation in 9 Talukas of the district, except that of Latur Taluka. At present there are 33 milk routes in operation and through 318 co-operative milk societies 20000 litres of milk is collected every day.Manjra Milk Sangh is in operation only in Latur Taluka. There are 13 milk routes and through 68 co-operative milk societies 11600 litres of milk is being collected every day. The Government owned Skimmed Milk Plant at Udgir is closed since June 2003 due to non- availability of sufficient milk. Latur, Ausa, Nilanga, Udgir and Renapur Talukas are having better potential for milk production. Milk production in Latur District is 4.7 Lakh litres, which accounts for 2.43 percent of States Total Milk production (70 lakhs Litres. per day). Reasons for this gap in Latur District are as under: -  Less number of breedable cows and buffaloes  Shortage of water, feed and fodder and  Inadequate chilling facilities etc.  Inadequate infrastructure facilities at collection centres

5.7 SHEEP AND GOATS Despite the least attention from the planners, goat population has increased steadily during the last two decades. Details of sheep and goat population in Latur District are provided in the table. Omanabadi goat is famous nation-wide. It is in great demand all over the state and country for the reasons such has its sturdiness, resistance to diseases, early maturity, fast multiplication through twin births, low fat content in the meat apart from its delicious taste.

Present Scenario Despite several benefits of stall fed goat rearing activity against the traditional rearing system, these have not been realized to the desired extent. The importance of goat farming has increased now due to its economic returns. Goats need minimum inputs such as supplementary feeding. Veterinary medicines and labour etc. Non-availability of feed / fodder particularly that of grazing lands is a constraint in increasing sheep and goat population. However, instead of increasing their population, emphasis should be laid on scientific rearing of goat. The genetic improvement strategy coupled with extending credit to the poor landless and women labourers will further boost the growth rate in meat production.

Sheep development At present there are 53000 sheep in Latur district. Normally these are reared by nomadic type of breeders. Generally these sheep are of Non-Descript type, which yield very coarse wool mixed with hairs. This fetches very low price which is uneconomical to the producer’s .The weight gain of these sheep is also very slow and hence meat production is also rather poor. To enhance the quality and quantity of wool and for increasing the growth rate of meat production shepherds need incentives like credit, health cover, breed improvement programme and timely disposal of wool and meat at remunerative price. Wool production is 25 MT/annum. This will result in bringing about genetic improvement in the progeny. Thus, there will be better weight gain helping for increasing the growth rate of meat production. In addition it will also bring about significant improvement in both quality as well as quantity of wool produced. Other strategies suggested earlier with goat development like training of farmer breeders, for increasing awareness of better sheep rearing / management for imparting training of carpet weaving and also for better flaying of hides / skins with technical assistance from Central Leather Research Institute (CLRI) Chennai, mini slaughter house marketing of animals etc. remain common for sheep development also.

Poultry is one of the important Animal Husbandry activities. Climatic conditions in the district are conducive for poultry keeping. Business can be done by any group and by either sex. Egg and Poultry meat are important sources of high quality animal proteins, minerals and vitamins to balance the human diet. In present economy crisis, poultry keeping provides supporting income quality organic manure in another important fact. Poultry farming in the district has been carried out on a small scale and has not so far developed on commercial basis. Poultry Meat Production is 250 M.T.

Page 91 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17

Breeding Policy:  Breeding Policy for poultry aims at increased production of eggs and poultry meat by increasing productivity of native poultry birds and introduction of new species of birds.  State may continue to supply cross-bred stocks of improved breed like, R.I.R. for this purpose. These types of stocks may be maintained by poultry farms owned by state.  Breeding policy for chicken breeds mainly cover the species suitable for back yard poultry.  At present, the breeds developed by ICAR Institutions are recommended for the State, such as Giriraj and Vanraj have been selected for the purpose of up-grading of Deshi poultry birds.

Programmes will be formulated to improve indigenous birds and promotion of backyard poultry farming which could help employment generation as well as economic empowerment of poor women and labourers in rural areas. These Programmes and strategies selected will also help in increasing growth rate of eggs and meat production.

Strategies to improve production in 12th five year plan The success of artificial insemination in domestic animals mainly depends on maintenance of critical LN2 levels in various veterinary institutions. This requires proper LN2 containers and carriage systems especially at Taluka levels. In rural area women are mostly involved in dairying. Along with up-gradation of local cattle through effective A.I… programme, high yielding crossbred cows, graded buffaloes if provided to rural poor at subsidised rate, milk production will be further boosted. For lactating cows, high nutrition is very critical which should contain carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals at optimum levels. Providing quality concentrate feeds to farmers at subsidised rates will increase the production. Green fodder and forage crops access to livestock will decrease the cost of concentrates and thereby production costs. Repeat breeding problem is common among high yielding cows, which should be taken by employing qualified veterinary at rural veterinary staff institutions. Periodical training programmes for farming community should be conducted at taluk and village levels regarding dairying, sheep and goat rearing, piggery and poultry etc., will play a vital role in upliftment of their economy though scientific knowledge. Good infrastructure for effective veterinary extension activities at taluk level is a must. Without Veterinary extension activities at village level and proper mobility, it is quite difficult to disseminate the latest technology to poor farmers. Existing mobile Veterinary centres at taluk level have to be strengthened by providing proper infrastructure and man power. Production of clean and hygienic

Page 92 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17 milk and other animal products has to be encouraged. Scientific poultry production (layers and broilers), piggery and other livestock farming have to be encouraged. Along with disease prevention measures like mass vaccination against deadly diseases, health camps play an important role at village level. During outbreaks of endemic diseases availability of quality medicines will be valuable in saving life of domestic animals and thereby improving the economic status of the farmer. Eradication of ecto and endo parasites in livestock especially in sheep and goats has to be given prime importance. Backyard rearing of productive dual purpose chickens like Giriraj at village level has to be encouraged. The white colour in the local breed of sheep is an added advantage in the improvement of breed. But a suitable exotic breed has to be selected and propagated in the District to improve wool quality and quantity.

5.9 Fisheries Development Fisheries have gained increasing importance in the economy of the District as a source of nutritious food with greater scope for generation of employment. The District has inland ponds, reservoirs, department tanks with water spread area of 13696 ha. The fish production for the year 2011-12 is 3440 MT. During 12th five year plan more thrust is to be bestowed on the priority sectors and also on those requiring greater attention which could result in perceptible impact on the development of fisheries. With the main object of increasing the production of fish from tanks, river and reservoir fishery resources, various development schemes are being implemented in the District placing greater emphasis on production – cum employment oriented activities.

Fish seed production, rearing and distribution The fish seed production and hatchery unit is proposed for the District. This will help to increase fish production in the District.

Exhibition and Training To educate the farmers to take up fish culture scientifically, training to farmers in fish culture activities would be conducted. Exhibition activities will also be taken up to create awareness among the public regarding fisheries. The requirement of funds for strengthening of existing schemes is as follow:

Plan outlay A training programme is proposed costing Rs. 20.60 Lakh and an amount of Rs. 12.77 Lakh are required for strengthening of various schemes.

5.10 Watershed development Geographical area of District is 7.47 lakh hectares, of which 6.9 lakh hectares is available for land development activities to reduce soil erosion, increase in ground water table, forestation and dry land Horticulture. In the next five years, 4.0 lakh ha areas can be developed under various ongoing schemes on watershed development/conservation. Due to excess exploitation of ground water in the region, temperature is increasing as well as it has adverse effect on the rainfall distribution, tending towards the desertification of the region.

5.11 Social Forestry Development Maharashtra state has the largest drought prone area in the country and it needs more vegetative cover to mitigate the situation. Nearly 91% of the agriculture in the District is rain fed which mainly depend on soil and availability of water, and will be incomplete without a clear and well established roll of trees and associated vegetation in it. Restoration of degraded forests and forestation of waste land and Agro and Farm forestry activities are the only solution to increase tree cover. Latur District has at total area of 7.47 lakh hectares with 3511 hectares of forest area accounting for 0.45 % of geographical area. National forest policy of India envisages that at least 33% of the area should be covered under forest/tree cover. Increasing the tree cover to 33% and meeting the local demands are the main national targets. The rain fall is of the irregular and erratic in nature. As Latur District is having only 0.45 % of land under forest, the alternate way to increase the area under tree cover is to afforest all available waste lands (both Government and Private) including planting all along with agricultural fields bunds and planting in private non-agricultural fields drainage lines, tank foreshores, roadside, railway lines and canal banks by encouraging people to grow more trees. In this direction a proposal is prepared and submitted in order to increase area under tree plantation and increase the percentage of forest in the District. These afforestation activities will provide employment to the needy people, and also meet their demands of Timber, Fuel wood, Fodder and green manure requirements and will reduce the pressure on natural forests and forest based raw materials. Incidentally the area under tree cover will also be increased. Strategy The plantation activities are broadly classified as:  Block plantations  Road side plantations/Railway track plantations  Agro-forestry on field bunds  Farm forestry by distribution of seedling In farm forestry, desired tall plants are to be raised and supplied free of cost to the farmers. It is observed that the people of the District are also having a remarkable awareness about tree and tree growth which is evident from the fact that large number of agriculture fields are having exclusive Neem trees, nurtured and well protected. And people have a special liking for Neem trees. Incidentally Neem is meeting the timber demands of the people in the District also. Proposal of Rs. 339 Lakh is submitted under Stream I & II, to increase area under forest on bio- diversity Park, road-side plantation, establishment and strengthening of nursery.

5.12 Agro based rural development programme The term "Farmer" is used here in a broad sense as defined in the National Policy for farmers 2007. It includes operational holders, tenants, agricultural labourers as well as those engaged in activities related to farming. It does include most members of the scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and other weaker communities. The lands held by the small and marginal farmers are mostly degraded because they have not been deep ploughed for decades and on account of poverty, the farmers have never been able to apply any organic manures or fertilizers. The small farmers themselves have to work as agricultural labourers on other's farms and arc often unable to give any attention to their own crops. The small size of their holding is un-economic and non- viable and because of the high prices of fodder the small farmers can not even afford to keep a pair of bullocks. These asset poor or asset less farmers is naturally the most vulnerable section among the rural people. They are at or below the minimum levels of education, health, nutrition and well being. Principles of equity and social justice demand that an all out effort should be made to pull up these sections of the society to a level of well being at which they may live and work with dignity and contribute to the development of the society as a whole. We are proposing one way of doing it. It is easily adaptable to the socio- economic and agronomic conditions of each village. Our focus, in this section of the chapter, is on organising the small and marginal farmers as well as the landless labourers in each village into one or more self-help- groups and helping them through good training and adequate credit to provide to all the farmers various services, which

Page 97 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17 are critical to agricultural development. Those services will help to improve the productivity of all lands including their own small farms. The wages for the services rendered will improve the earnings of these asset poor farmers. The strategy is to upgrade tlieir skills, add to their meagre incomes and to improve their capabilities and self-confidence while rendering critically useful services to the village community. Because agriculture is in trouble, through this programme, we try to convert the perceived weakness of small non-viable farms into strength by transforming the asset-poor-farmers into viable service providers who would be simultaneously improving the viability of their own small farms through those services and other inputs.

Kinds of agro services to be rendered to own farms and to the other needy Farmers:-  assistance in ploughing, sowing and any other farming operations through custom hiring centre;  Assistance in procuring and applying agricultural inputs of purity, i.e. seed, seedlings, soil nutrients, fertilizers, organic manures pesticides.  Assistance in systematically collecting soil samples, taking them to soil testing labs, obtaining cards and advice on soil enrichment and assisting in applying that treatment.  Assistance in identifying crop diseases and in applying appropriate treatments.  Assistance in harvesting - produce and in primary processes of clearing, washing, grading, packaging, storage or marketing.

Kinds of micro- enterprises  Custom hiring centre of agricultural equipments like Implements, oil engines, pumps, sprayers, machinery, draft animals and other equipments for custom hiring or providing services with them;  Keeping stocks of seeds, seedlings fertilizers or pesticides of assured purity for sale to the farmers or to provide services by applying them.  Milk collection centre in connection with dairy Enterprises - activities on commercial lines  Composting village or urban area solid wastes  Vermi- culture  Nurseries  Digging of wells  Digging of farm- ponds  Development of Waste lands  Custom hiring centre of agricultural equipments  Seri- culture or beekkeeping on their own holdings or those of the other farmers.

District Plan

District Plan The Comprehensive District plan of Latur District for the XII plan (2012-17) includes important growth drivers, innovative schemes, and budgetary provisions for the XII plan to achieve the targeted growth rate. This also contains the necessary requirement of inputs such as improved seeds, fertilizers, pest-control measures. Projects are also included on improved water management, specifically, use of drip/sprinkler irrigation, watershed management & soil health. Training and technology transfer facilitating farmers knowledge, have been projected. Some of the innovative schemes have been suggested.

During the last two decades, the agricultural situation in the District has undergone a qualitative change. The present approach of the farmers is inadequate for familiarizing the entire family with new agricultural technology. It is well recognised that the farmers are adopting changes in cropping pattern, technologies to achieve higher yields. With the development in IT services and communication system, farmers are adopting technologies speedily. Hence they require support of extension and other services to achieve the targeted growth rate of 4.0% in agricultural sector.

Growth Drivers Agriculture  Availability of certified seeds for the rural agrarian farming community is very much limited because of many factors. Making available the quality seeds at the village level has been key factor for increasing the productivity. So efforts need to be made to produce the certified seeds at village/grass-root level in large quantity. This enables the self-reliance among the farmers apart from enhancing the crop productivity.  The crop productivity can be increased by providing the protective irrigation at the critical stages of the crop growth by using micro irrigation technology. The increased response of the farmers towards adoption of micro irrigation technology and protective irrigation needs to be immediately addressed. This will enhance the crop productivity.  Farm mechanisation is an important driver of the District as the timely completion of farm operations under the present labour crisis situation holds the key to successful crop production. For the better crop yield farm mechanisation becomes an imperative.  Agro processing has to be promoted in the big way as the agriculture suffers from series of problems starting with low production, poor prices and lack of post harvesting facilities. Hence, crop productivity may be successful when the produce fetches a good price.  Soil health needs to be maintained as it is the basic requirement for better crop productivity. This needs to be addressed by promoting the adoption/use of organic inputs  As the District depends mostly on the rainfall for crop production, occurrence of frequent dry spells results in the reduced productivity, hence there is a need to adopt in-situ moisture

Page 110 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17

conservation techniques so that risk of crop failures are reduced. Promotion of BBF crop production technology on large scale will play an important role in dryland crop production.

Horticulture Development  District is known for horticulture production because of the agro climatic and soil properties. This need to be exploited to take up export quality production of fruit crops including the dry land fruit crops.  Processing of fruits especially mango and pomegranate for value addition; may be the key processing industry in District.  Expansion of area under pomegranate, grapes, mango, Custerd apple and dryland horticulture crop like anola needs attention as the climatic situation permits well in the District.  Also there will ever incerasing demand for Floriculture imparts scope for floriculture.  Since last three - four years farmers are inclined towards Shed net houses, Poly houses, which directly results into net gain of cultivators created tremendous scope for protective cultivation.  Increased area under fruits and vegetables alarming the youths for nursery activities and there is scope for horticultural and vegetable nursery in the District.  Sericulture Development  Though the District is not traditional for practicing sericulture but climate is congenial to make this a profitable option especially for small and marginal farmers. Since last three years as subsidiary business farmers are taking interest in Mulbery cultivation in Latur District area under Mulbery is 77 ha. Animal Husbandry Development and dairy  Availability of the dry fodder throughout the year and farmers interest in allied activities in the finds a scope.  Procurement of milk network is well established both by co-operative. Fisheries Development  The District has 127 tanks and 13 Reservoirs with water spread area of 13696 ha shows a bright scope for extension of the activity across the District.  The District has registered co-operative societies and increasing demand for fish in the cities as well as in rural areas can be exploited to improve the marketing of fish.

VISION FOR XII PLAN For overall development of the farm sector, the District plan of Latur emphasis on varied kind of activities to be taken up by different development departments. The main objective of this plan is to achieve the targeted growth rate and increasing the farmers income. The targeted growth rate in agriculture is achieved by increasing the productivity of cereals by 1.5 and oilseeds and pulses by 6.0 per cent. While, the horticulture division concentrated on enhancing the area and practicing high tech horticulture. Sericulture is finding a place in the District efforts and is made to expand this as an income- generating sector. Animal husbandry and agriculture go hand in hand, so efforts are directed to strengthen the farming sector to take up this as an allied sector in addition to agriculture. Importance is also given to practice the fisheries where ever possible. Also, most important is the credit facilities extended to farming sector to take up the above said activities. For actualizing this vision, the C- DAP attempts to explore possible ways of better utilization of natural, physical and human resources. It attempts to discover and locate latent potentials of growth and development and is making proposals for activating human energies and social organizations for their full utilization. C -DAP proposals for reforms and strengthening of the extension agencies should help inform the farmers of the latest technologies and adequately motivate them to diligently work for their own advancement. The reforms and strengthening of the implementation agencies in the district are of crucial importance. The best policies and programmes fail because of poor governance and shortcomings in implementation. An innovative re-orgainsation to provide missing coordination links within the different wings and departments involved with implementation is absolutely necessary.lt is also imperative to set up reasonable working relationships with Pnchayat Raj Bodies, NGO's and Public Private Partnerships.

Page 113 Comprehensive District Agricultural Plan for Latur District 2012-13 to 2016-17

The C-DAP recommended several strategies for various sub-sectors to overcome the reasons of backwardness and to accomplish the vision. Details like rationale behind them, action plans with physical targets, financial requirements and outcomes, and implementing schedules will be found in the related chapters. Action plans have been formulated so that their implementation will make a impact on the agricultural growth and development of the district. It is worthwhile to emphasize that every element of action plan under each strategy positively contributes to the desired results. Most elements will be simultaneously in operation and will have additive effects on outcomes of each other. That add-on effect would lead to still higher growth.
