* Expenditure up to 15th March, 2012.

General Observations and Suggestions:  Overall progress of implementation of the programme in the State is good. SHM needs to focus on infrastructural facilities for Post Harvest Management and Marketing.  Priority may be given to plant being produced in the nurseries in the private sector to cater to the need of planting material. Nurseries established at Govt. farm should be properly lebelled with Varieties, date of sowing seeds, date of grafting and method of grafting etc. and should be accredited by National Horticulture Board. Accreditation of nursery programme may be expedited in consultation with NHB. The area expansion activity should be confined to the availability of planting material.

 SHM should ensure that all the beneficiaries are supplied with quality planting material and also other material being provided under the approved package, well before the planting season. Custard apple may be included in crop diversification of fruit crops in the State. Since banana is expanding rapidly in the State, package of practices for the crop needs to be disseminated to the farmers and famers may visit banana growing areas of Maharastra.

 JIT suggested establishing cashew nurseries in private sector to cater to the need of planting material and ensuring the availability of good quality grafted planting material for area expansion programme of cashew cluster in Baster area .All the crops covered should be linked with the drip system under NMMI.

 SHM needs to put in place necessary infrastructure for post harvest management like pack houses, cold storages, reefer vans etc and market infrastructure (sorting, grading, washing, packaging, and supply chain). The provision for these components should be prioritised in the outlay.  The farmers may be provided training on management of green house, poly house, shade net, plastic tunnel, and mulching. It is suggested that the farmers may also be trained of proper utilization of such infrastructure facilities.

 Rejuvenation/replacement of senile plantations is urgently needed of old and declined orchards of mango, cashew. Some of the senile mango orchards need top working for light penetration. Use of power saw would be needed at such locations. Farmers are to be regularly trained and demonstration on rejuvenation may be done through KVK,s. Effort should be made to rejuvenated in a phased manner by selecting few trees every year, instead of rejuvenating the entire orchard at initial stage.  Baster district should be given priority for establishing water harvesting mechanism in conjunction with micro Irrigation which needs to be promoted for area expansion programme in tribal areas. A strategic plan may be formulated for area expansion activities in wasteland and convergence of activities with MNREGA and other schemes in tribal areas with NHM. Adequate training need to be imparted to the beneficiaries availing subsidy for micro irrigation system. Post installation maintenance need to be ensured. Training on fertigation scheduling and application is also needed.

 It is suggested that interface interaction meetings may be organized with KVK’s to provide technological and input support to the farmers.

 Front line demonstration may be initiated in large number on pollination support through beekeeping in horticultural Crops to understand the role of Bee’s as pollinator to enhance the crop productivity. The farmers may also be trained in the techniques of handling bee, transferring the hives and extraction of honey.  To ensure transparency in implementation of various activities under NHM, details about the activities approved, cost of work, subsidy available, name of beneficiaries and area covered needs to be displayed at the common place in the village viz. Panchayat Bhavan, School buildings etc.Proper sign boards indicating the name of Scheme and activity taken up under NHM also needs to be displayed at each work site.  Farmers may be provided hand outs of specific technical knowledge and provided regular training or awareness programmes. The farmers may be exposed to the areas where such crops are grown on commercial scale.

Durg District:

The District occupies the southwestern part of the Upper Sheonath-Mahanadi valley and the bordering hills in the south and southwest. Physiographically, the District can be divided into two divisions, viz. the Chhattisgarh plain and the Southern plateau. The Chhattisgarh plain occupies the largest area in the District.District of Durg with Headquarter at Durg city came into existence before independence which consists of three blocks, three Tehsils, and one sub-division. This district is situated between 17-23.70 N 0 latitude and 80.43-83.38 E longitudes in central western part of Chhattisgarh. As per Census 2011 (provisional), the population of the district is 17, 21,726 and Area of District Durg is 2238.36 Sq. Km. The total geographical area of the district is more than 2.32 lakh hectare.

District Profile -  Geographical area 2.32 lakh ha.  Net sown area 1.51 lakh ha. (65% of its geographical area).  Total horticulture area during 2010-11 – 0.36 lakh ha.(23% of its net sown area )  Proposed horticulture area (after 5 years 2014-15) – 0.39 lakh ha. (26% of its net sown area).  Percentage increase from 2010-11 to 2014-15 – 8.3%.  Forty percent soil is medium to light.  Average rainfall 1042.6 mm.  47% marginal farmers own 21% land.  17% small farmers own 23% land.  Under fruits Mango is a major crop which occupies 1155 ha. of the total cropped area of fruits (4710 lakh ha.).Under Spices, Chili is major crop which occupies 2090 ha. of the total cropped area of spices (3980 lakh ha.).Under Vegetables Tomato is major crop which occupies 3635 ha. of the total cropped area of Vegetable .  Area under Rabi crops 0.90 lakh ha. , which constitutes only 59% of the net sown area.

Climate and Soil: The general climate of Durg district is dry sub-humid type where the annual potential evapo-transpiration is slightly higher than the annual rainfall. The average annual rainfall of the district is around 1074 mm and about 90 to 95 percent of this year is received during southwest monsoon season (June-October). The monsoon sets in around 10th June in the tip of the Bastar are the wettest months. 3 Rainfall in October month occurs due to cyclonic activity in the Bay of Bengal and October rainfall if most crucial for the productivity of rice in the district which adversely affect main rabi season and early rabi season vegetable crops and increase input cast.District receives very short winter season starts from last of November to mid of January due to this situation district has opportunity to grow Papaya.The atmospheric humidity is very high (>90%) during monsoon months and starts decreasing from October onwards and reaches as low as 15-20 percent during peak summer months.

District has four different types of soils Bhata, Matasi, Dorsa and Kanhar. Bhata soil also known as lateritic soil mainly rich from gravels, sand and iron. Matasi soil are also known as sandy loam humus rich soil and best for Horticultural crops with irrigation facility. Dorsa soil also known as clay loam soil which is rich of clay particles and Kanhar soil which has very poor drainage and good for water loving crops like rice etc.In the district Bhata and Matasi soil covers about 40 % of the cultivated land . In these type of soil have greater potential and scope to increase horticultural crops area by providing irrigation and fencing facilities.

Agro- Climatic Zones. This district comes under agro-climatic central zones of plain.

Irrigation Scenario: District has 62% cultivated area under irrigation through different sources of irrigation which is presented in following diagram. Horticultural crops required assured irrigation which should be through be tube wells or through well and pump or river and pump, through such type of irrigation district has more than 0.95 lakh hectare area out of which we have covered under horticulture today about % that area.Through crop diversification district has greater opportunity to cover all the tube well irrigated area under horticulture crop with the development of required drainage channel.

Horticulture Status: In the district approximately 23% cultivated area are under Horticultural crops (36979hectare), out of which 65 % area is under vegetable cultivation (26182 hectare) during 2010-11. Crop diversification and selection of appropriate site for crop cultivation can bring a major breakthrough not only in productivity but also in economic lift up of small & marginal farmers. Paddy should be replaced from upland where it gives only nominal yield. Horticulture crops are the best alternative for crop diversification.

Source of income ensured through:

 Development of infrastructure especially for irrigation.  Value addition and processing of horticulture produce.  Vermi-composting in rural areas to promote organic farming. The major horticulture crops in different blocks of the district:

Existing infrastructural facilities: Nurseries: There are 3 departmental nurseries situated in different 3 blocks of the districts. These nurseries are established during the period of 1982 to 1986. As the establishment of theses nurseries is very old, they need to be strengthened and rejuvenated in all aspects. Two new nurseries are under process of establishment in the district. In each nursery approx. 1 hectare to 0.5 hectare area are available for raising seedlings. Some Nurseries like Ruabandha, Aheri, Patan, are taken under NHM as Model Nurseries.After modernization of these Nurseries capacity of plant production has increased from 2 lakh to 5 lakh plants per year.

Seed Production: There is no seed production farm in the district. Vegetable seeds are produced at departmental nursery. Under NHM okra seed production program has been taken in 3 hectare in the year 2009-10, produce 10 Quintal okra seeds. Training Center:

Mushroom training center has been established and required equipments has been purchased from rural development funds and training program successfully implemented for only one year to train farmers for cultivation of Mushrooms . This center requires permanent training staff and recurring expenditure for training programs. Training program is also provided by KVK Anjora in his Kendra. From time to time department also provides different subject specific training to the farmers before and during cropping season .

Consumption Pattern: The total production of horticultural crops was about 5.8 lakh MT. in the year 2010-11. In absence of regulated market for horticultural produce the department has no authentic data that how much horticultural produces are being sold in the open markets. The district is producing sufficient quantity of vegetables to fulfill its own requirement during the main season and in some crops like tomato, capsicum, cabbage, cauliflower hybrid chili in the main crop produce were supplied to some other state bigger mandies like Bhuneshwar, Nagpur, Delhi, Nasik etc.Month wise surplus of horticulture produce and supplied market are as follow : SI.No Name of Surplus Supplied approx. crops period market quantity (in MT.) 1. Papaya From Oct. Delhi, 50,000 to Mar. Nagpur From Oct. Hyderabad, to Dec. Vijayawada, 24,000 2. Tomato Jabalpur From Jan. Delhi, to Mar. Bhuneshwar, Nagpur, 1,00,000 Banglore, Nasik 3.

Agriculture:

Rice is grown predominantly during kharif season as rain fed crop having 2.39 lakh hectare area but the productivity of this crop is very low 08.53 qt/ha in Bastar region of Chhattisgarh. The irrigated area (1.67%) and fertilizer use (4.6 kg/ha.) in the Bastar district are very less, which is insufficient to supply adequate nutrient to the crop. The pattern of livelihood in Bastar continues to be dictated by tradition. Even today, agricultural practices are traditional. Use of wooden ploughs is overwhelming while the number of iron ploughs is negligible. The same is true of bullock carts. The number of tractors is negligible while the bullock carts are all pervasiveThe usage of traditional agricultural implements has lowered the production of agriculture. The kharif crops grown here are paddy, urad, arhar, jowar and maize. The Rabi crops include til, alsi, moong, mustard and gram. Collection and sale of forest produce and other forest-related work supplements meager agricultural incomes.Most people do not find employment all year round. The cycle of floods and droughts makes livelihoods extremely vulnerable. The people are often forced to resort to moneylenders in times of crisis, which usually means a life of continued indebtedness. The absence of alternate employment opportunities is responsible for the high incidence of poverty in the area. In the Bastar plateau, irrigation coverage is only 1.2 percent. Exceptionally fortunate in its water resources, the region has good rainfall and rapid run off due to the undulating terrain. There is potential for rainwater harvesting .Forests play an important role in the lives of the people, providing food security and livelihood through the collection of minor forest produce, and employment (as casual labour) in the Forest Department. The forests provide for people’s consumption needs — fuel and firewood, medicines, food and drink, implements and housing materials.Forty percent of livelihoods are forest based, 30 percent are agriculture based and 15 percent of livelihoods are dependent on animal husbandry. Another 15 percent of the income of people comes from wage labour.People with land, who depend almost entirely on cultivation, either on their own holdings or on the holdings of others. They supplement their income and consumption with animal husbandry, and sundry labour at times. Some of them have also diversified into small services or small manufacturing activities.People without their own land or with very little land. They survive by working as farm and casual labour. They also work in the nonfarm sector, in mines, small shops, on construction sites and as part of the urban work force.Those with some land, and living in the vicinity of forests. In areas adjacent to the forests, most people (including those who own some land) gather minor forest produce. A major part of the household consumption and income is based on forest gathering, with agricultural activities providing supplementary income.People living close to the forests with very little land or without their own land. They are primarily dependent on forest produce, which they gather and sell or directly consume. Occasional labour on fields or in the forest supplements their income. Sometimes they migrate to other places to sell their labour.
