6384.438 km of pipe line 70045 nos. of hydrant etc. machineries and equipments are being maintained by the Department for the existing irrigation schemes. Government of India is pursuing a policy for collecting water charge for irrigation to meet up the cost of operation and maintenance. State Govt. has taken a strategy to collect water charges for irrigation for Rs. 50.00 per kani per crop to meet part of the cost of repair, to engage pump operator by local panchayet with monthly incentive @ Rs.3400.00 per month, to meet the cost of power consumption from panchayet fund, to do the minor repair works costing less then Rs.5000/- by the gram panchayet and to do the remaining major work of repairs by PWD(WR). Accordingly the maintenance of irrigation schemes are being continued by PWD(WR). For managing the annual repair cost reasonable estimate for the existing installations is for about Rs.12.00 crores. Current year budget provision is Rs. 6.00 crores for flood protection and irrigation . Additional assistance to meet up the actual cost of maintenance is required at least to the extent of Rs.6.00 crores.

1. Background:
The Animal Resources Development Department promotes production of Animal origin food i.e. Milk, Meat & egg to meet the requirement of the people of the state. The Department undertakes up-gradation of the local low yielding stock of all species of economically important domesticated animals through Artificial Insemination & other breeding practices apart from supply of high yielding variety of livestock & birds from its breeding farms. It also renders Veterinary services for Curative & Preventive health care for animals & birds through its intensive network of Veterinary Hospitals, Veterinary Dispensaries, Veterinary Sub-Centres, Disease Investigation Laboratories etc. for protection of Livestock health of the state.
The livestock sector plays a vital role in the rural economy and supports small and marginal farmers both economically and nutritionally. In recent years, considerable interest has been developed among both rural and urban people in taking up modern A.H. practices with high yielding variety of livestock and birds as subsidiary as well as main economic activity, in spite of hurdles in respect of high feed cost and scarcity of improved variety of Animal Husbandry inputs. With the support of the State Govt. in creating gainful employment avenues based on animal resources under different rural development programme, Animal Resources Sector has taken a momentum for further development. The State is facing a number of challenges in boosting up productivity of milk. To mitigate the gap between requirement and availability of milk, it is considered essential to introduce special drive for augmenting productivity of cattle as well as production of milk. As per the Livestock Census 2012, total bovine population of the state is 9.61 lakh,
Subject Committee-I - 104 - out of which 1.35 lakh (14%) is crossbred cattle whereas 8.26 lakh are non-descript cattle. The non-descript cattle are very poor milk yielder – about 1.43 liters/day during 200 days of lactation. The state is trying to enhance the production by increasing the productivity through crossbreeding.
2.1. Year wise Targets & Achievements in Perspective Plan and after: The yearwise targets & achievements of Milk, Meat & Egg production since starting of perpective Plan is shown below:

3. Approach to 12th Five Year Plan and Annual Plan 2015 pertaining to Animal Resources Sector: Vision: To bridge the gap between demand and supply of animal origin food through augmentation of production and productivity of livestock and birds.
Subject Committee-I - 105 -
3.1. Constraints in various sectors: 3.1.1 Milk Sector: 1. Inadequate availability of buffalo & other High yielding varieties of cow/cross-bred cow. 2. High cost of balanced cattle feed. 3. Traditionally N.D. cattle are reared for production of male calves for agricultural Operation especially in rural areas. 4. Because of religious sentiment, villagers do not object to presence of stray bulls which causes natural services & scope of upgrading through artificial Insemination is minimized. 5. Price of milk is not remunerative in remote parts of the state.
3.1.2 Meat Sector:
1. Less emphasis on selective breeding and management of Goat as well as early slaughtering resulting in reduced carcass yield 2. Instead of processed meat, people mostly prefer to take fresh fleshes. 3. Broiler sector is totally dependent on outsourcing of inputs. 4. Ingredients for pig feed are not readily available in the state. 5. Tapioca, a substitute for pig ration is also shared by human beings.
3.1.3 Egg Sector:
1. Organized Layer Farm is not profitable as production cost of egg is higher than imported eggs due to high cost of feed. 2. Lack of awareness among the poultry farmers for vaccination of their birds against Poultry diseases. 3. Performance of Khaki Campbel Ducks in the field is not up-to their potential.
4. Strategy to overcome the bottlenecks:
The sector wise specific strategies were chalked out based on the constraint identified and as per recommendation of the Sub-Committee of Tripura Planning Board, the sector wise strategies are as follows:
4.1. Milk sector: 1. Genetic up-gradation of local cattle there by enhancement of productivity. 2. Improving reproductive health of female cattle. 3. Improving Artificial Insemination infrastructure. 4. Prevention and control of animal diseases. 5. Fodder development to minimize the input cost. 6. Castration of local bull to increase number of calf born through Artificial Insemination. 7. Massive awareness programme to popularize AI & CB cow rearing and vaccination. 8. Marketing arrangement of milk and milk by-product.
4.2. Meat Sector:
1. Slaughter of male goats at appropriate age to increase carcass yield. 2. Popularization of exotic piggery through beneficiary oriented scheme. 3. Strengthening of Govt. Pig breeding Farm to increase supply of exotic germ-plasm to the farmers.

4.3. Egg sector:
1. Increase coverage of Rural backyard Poultry farming. 2. Strengthening of govt. poultry farms to supply required number of germ-plasm to the BLBHs. 3. Providing subsidy for promotion of Layer Farming. 4. Massive awareness for control of diseases in backyard poultry.
5. Thrust Areas:
5.1. Milk Sector
. Massive awareness for Artificial Insemination and CB cow rearing. i. Fertility camps for improving conception rate. ii. Induction of high yielding crossbred and indigenous cattle. iii. Supply of subsidized feed for CB heifers. iv. Mass De-worming programme & supply of Mineral Mixture. v. Popularization of castration through providing incentives to farmers. vi. Incentivizing Door- step AI Workers for calf born and survival. vii. Holding of Milk yield competition, calf rally. viii. Mastitis control programme. ix. Capacity building of farmers in management of CB cows & calves. x. Development of Pasture land in each block. xi. Growing fodder crops during intercropping period.
5.2. Meat Sector
xii. Setting up of piggery units under RKVY. xiii. Strengthening of Govt. Pig Breeding Farms. xiv. Strengthening of Govt. goat breeding farm at Devipur. xv. Tapioca cultivation in farmers land under MGNREGA for rearing pigs.

5.4. Veterinary Service Sector:-
xx. Expansion of Veterinary service network to ensure one vety. centre in each Gram panchayet / ADC villages. xxi. Strengthening of infrastructure of veterinary College to its highest standard, to facilitate research and human resources development.
Subject Committee-I - 107 - 6. Women Component: xxii. Respecting the ongoing national campaign on gender equality, due emphasis is given on empowerment of women by targeting financial allocation for women. In order to ensure active involvement of women in animal resources based activities and in accordance with 28 Point Action Plan for empowerment of women, it has been planned to involve at least one third woman beneficiaries in all the development activities of the department like promotion of rural backyard poultry, breed up gradation of cattle, beneficiary oriented schemes for development of fodder and piggery etc. xxiii. By and large, the livestock farming in Tripura is mainly in the hands of poor marginal and small farmers where house-hold farming is practiced. Since individual land holdings are small, the unit size of livestock and birds are also small. Even the landless farmers are keeping some poultry birds, goats and pigs which are mainly maintained by the womenfolk. They not only provide food and shelter to the domestic animals and birds but also attend the veterinary institutions rendering health care facilities for treatment and prophylaxis of pets when their male counterpart is away for earning the livelihood through other means. Thus, they are the actual rearer of most of the livestock and birds. During 2010-11, actual expenditure incurred towards women component is around 185.00 lakhs and the anticipated expenditure during 2011-12 is 190.00 Lakhs. xxiv. During 2015-16, provision for an amount of Rs 350.00 lakh was kept under women component. During 2015-16, around 35,237 nos. of women beneficiaries were covered under animal health care facilities including treatment, vaccinations, 2965 women beneficiaries were trained in scientific management of livestock and birds. In addition, around 55 nos girl students have been sponsored for undergoing B.V.Sc. & A.H courses in various Veterinary Colleges of the country and provided with scholarship for the last 5 years up-to 2015. In the annual budget of 2016-17 Rs 450.00 lakh has been proposed under women component.

Subject Committee-I - 118 - HIGHLIGHTS OF IMPORTANT ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE DEPARTMENT DURING FINANCIAL YEAR 2015-16:
A. PHYSICAL PROGRAMME-2015-16
Being Agriculture is the leading sector of the economy in the state and more than 70 percent of the population in the state are directly or indirectly involved in agricultural activities for their livelihood, the Agriculture department had implemented a long term Perspective Plan, due to which achievement in the food front, particularly in paddy, has been spectacular. Improved methods of cultivation including the adoption of new technologies like SRI have been able to raise the yield of crops. The present level of cropping intensity is 189%(Prov.) which indicates that the farmers in plain land take at least two crops in a year; in some cases it is more than two, where assured irrigation facilities are existing.
The farming communities of Tripura are intelligent and very quick in receiving new technology in their small piece of land for ensuring bigger harvest. The benefits of Perspective Plan has still been continuing and led to the increase of food grain production from 5.13 lakhs MT during 1999-2000 to 7.62 lakh ton in 2014-15. The anticipated production during 2015-16 is 8.12 lakh M.T.
Major works in progress during 2015-16 include cultivation of Hybrid Paddy and HYV Paddy through System of Rice Intensification ( SRI), Installation of Small Bore Deep Tube Wells(SBDTW), Establishment of Farmers’ Knowledge Centre, Construction of Cold Storages and Fertilizer Godowns, Establishment of Mini Modern Rice Mill in Unokoti and Gomti District. Special emphasis has also been given to increase area under Hybrid Paddy cultivation for increasing production, productivity and profitability of the farmers. Action plan for utilizing seasonal fallow land under ‘Crop Diversification’ programme mainly with suitable pulse and oilseed crops has also been implemented with greater thrust and an anticipated 26000 ha area will be covered during the current financial year as against 15058 ha in 2014-15.
