4.0 STRATEGIES :
|
| |
| 4.4
IRRIGATION: |
| |
| 4.4.1 |
Increased Irrigation
through Narmada |
| |
Narmada project on completion
will irrigate additional 18 lakh hectares
of land. This will change the crop
profile of the State by encouraging
farmers to cultivate high value crop
with increased productivity. Consistent
and abundant availability of raw material
will attract substantial investment
in Agro Processing Industries.
|
| 4.4.2
|
Micro Irrigation
: |
| |
It is well known
that use of drip not only results
in saving in the use of water per
crop and per acre, but also increases
the yield substantially by providing
measured quantity of water, fertilizer
and pesticide at the targeted root
zone. The saving in water can be used
to cover additional acreage. The Government
will provide encouragement to the
farmers to use drip irrigation technology
with proper agronomic practices. Already
a project to cover 12000 hectares
of land under drip irrigation with
integrated crop and water management
practices is under implementation. |

| 4.5
POWER : |
| |
The State Government
intends to encourage propogation of tissue
culture in horticulture and agriculture
and also R&D in biotechnology. The State
Government, therefore, may consider levying
power tariff on tissue culture and R&D
in biotechnology at the same rates as applicable
for direct agriculture.
|
| 4.6
ROAD :
|
| |
The importance of rural road
development for improving transportation
and communication cannot be over emphasized.
Agriculture produce cultivated in the rural
areas is transported to distant places at
consuming centers, processing units and
for exports. Such road development will
be encouraged through co-operatives, private
sectors and/or group of farmers. The State
Government shall channelise assistance for
such road projects under RIDF (Rural Infrastructure
Development Fund) of NABARD.
