The project include Rayalaseema Lift Irrigation Scheme (RLIS) taken up by the Andhra Pradesh government, and the hydel power generation projects taken up by the Telangana government. Historical Background about the dispute over Krishna River A dispute over the sharing of Krishna waters has been ongoing for many decades, beginning with the erstwhile Hyderabad and Mysore states, and later continuing between the successors Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. The first Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal (KWDT) was set up in 1969, under the Inter- State River Water Dispute Act, 1956. The report divided the 2060 TMC (thousand million cubic feet) of Krishna water at 75% dependability into three parts amongst Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Afterward, as new grievances arose between the three states, the second KWDT was instituted in 2004. It delivered its report in 2010, which made allocations of the Krishna water at 65% dependability into three parts.

  • VAJIRAM and RAVI Kurukshetra Summary- August 2021 Page 1 1
    1. AGRICULTURE In INDIA – RETROSPECT and FUTURE PROSPECTS Introduction • India is blessed with 20 agri-climatic regions, 15 major climates and 46 soil types, and an amazing variety of agricultural products largely consumed at domestic level. • Around 54.6% of the total workforce still derives its sustenance through direct/indirect employment in agriculture as per the latest census report. • Lack of assured education, unavailability of fertilisers and pesticides held back productivity. While India achieved food security, nutritional security remains elusive. Achievement of Food Security • Productivity – The research of 1950s and 60s on the development of High-Yielding Varieties (HYV), the application of fertilisers and pesticides, etc. has ensured that by 2019 the yields of rice and wheat have respectively increased to 2659 kg/ha and 3507 KG/HA. As a result, the per capita net availability of food-grains has increased from 394.9 g per day in 1951 to 512.6 g per day in 2020. This is impressive given that our population too has quadrupled since Independence. Provision of formal credit has played an enabling role in this. The total production of food grains went up from around 51 million tonnes in 1950–51 to 305 million tonnes in 2020–21. Operation Flood launched in 1970 through the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), has made India the largest producer of milk in the world (19% of the world’s total milk production in 2019 –20). The Green Revolution in cotton production in early 2000s, Blue Revolution in Fisheries, Yellow Revolution in edible oil are other examples. • Agricultural Marketing - Being a State Subject, State Governments enacted Agricultural Produce Market Regulations (APMR) Acts during the 60s and 70s whereby agricultural produce could only be bought by licensed and registered traders in these markets.
