MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE FNA, FNASc, FNAAAS KRISHI BHAVAN, NEW DELHI 110 001 SECRETARY & DIRECTOR GENERAL Tel. : 23362629; 23386711 Fax 91-11-23384773 E-mail : [email protected] MESSAGE India is expected to achieve the ambitious goal of doubling farmers’ income by 2022. The agricultural sector in India is poised to generate better momentum in the next few years owing to increased investment in agricultural infrastructure such as irrigation facilities, warehousing and cold storage. In addition, the growing use of genetically modified crops will likely improve the yield for Indian farmers. India is also set to become self-sufficient in pulse production in the coming few years due to concerted efforts of scientists to get early maturing varieties of pulses and the timely increase in minimum support price. Among the development initiatives of the government, the goal to double the farmers’ income assumes special into implementation for the welfare of the farmers rather than focusing on increased output. To secure future of agriculture and to improve livelihood of half of India’s population, adequate attention needs to be given to improve the welfare of farmers and raise agricultural income. Achieving this goal will reduce persistent disparity between farm and non-farm income, alleviate agrarian distress, promote inclusive growth and infuse dynamism in the agriculture sector. Respectable income from farm sector will also attract youths towards farming profession and ease the pressure on non-farm job, which is not growing as per the expectation. Research Institutes should come with technological breakthroughs for shifting production frontiers and raising efficiency in use of inputs. ICAR and SAUs should develop models of farming systems for different types of socio-economic and bio-physical settings combining all their technologies in a package with focus on farm income. This would involve combining technology and best practices covering production, protection and post-harvest value addition for each sub-system with other sub-systems like crop sequence, crop mix, livestock, horticulture, fishery, forestry and others. Such shift requires interdisciplinary approach to develop on knowledge of all disciplines. ICAR-Agricultural Technology Application Research Institutes Patna has shouldered a timely responsibility to identify a good number of successful cases related to farming through the KVK network in the eastern part of the country. Documentation of such successful practices by the resource-poor farmers will go a long way to motivate other farmers across the country to contribute significantly towards the noble goal of doubling farmers’ income. I congratulate the entire team of ATARI for the efforts in bringing out this valuable document. Dated the 8th May, 2019 ( T.
