The Background
Gujarat Agriculture at a Glance cont..

• The State and Agriculture
• Total Geographical Area 196 lakh hectares
• Total Land held by Operational Land Holders 99
  lakh hectares
• Normal Net Area Sown 96 lakh hectares
• Normal Total Cropped Area 108 lakh hectares
• Agro Climatic Zones 8
• Area under Irrigation in Gujarat
• Irrigation potential through canal irrigation
  Estimated at 21.48 lakh hectares
• Irrigation through the Sardar Sarovar Dam 38.41
  lakh hectares

The Background cont..
Gujarat Agriculture at a Glance cont..

• The major factors that have impeded agricultural
  productivity in the state are
• Depletion of water table
• Deterioration of soil and water conditions due to
  salinity ingress
• Irregularity of rainfall
• Recurrent droughts

The management of natural resources is vital not
only for increasing agricultural yield and income
but also for mitigating the adverse impacts of
water scarcity in the state. Integrated land and
water management activities, improved farming
practices and appropriate market and credit
linkages have the potential to increase the
productivity of natural resources in a
sustainable manner and ensure the nurturing of
the local economy.

  across some of the dry rivers in the state. In
  the Saurashtra region, 100 large check dams have
  been erected, while work is in progress in other
  areas.

Why the Campaign was Special

• Convergence of Efforts

The Krushi Mahotsav pioneered an unprecedented
convergence of activities from different
departments and agencies. All the key
stakeholders, including government personnel,
credit and input agencies, agricultural
scientists, and NGOs were brought together at the
village level before the onset of monsoon for the
timely coordination of efforts
22
Why the Campaign was Special cont..

• Approximately 1 lakh government officials, from
  the Secretary level to the Talati level worked
  together.
• Active involvement of diverse stakeholders such
  as elected representatives, elected bodies,
  peoples organizations, NGOs, government
  officers, agricultural scientists, successful
  farmers and the communities and children with
  entire district administration.
• For the synergistic implementation and
  coordination of activities, more than 15
  Government Departments joined

Agriculture deptt. Co-Operation Deptt. Panchayat Department
Water Resources Development Forest Department Cottage Industries
Science Technology Deptt Health Department Revenue Department
Roads and Buildings Water Supplies Finance Department
Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Limited Water Resources Development Rural Housing and Rural Development
Water Resources Development Tribal Development Education Department
23
Why the Campaign was Special cont..

• Benefits to Individual Farmers

• No efforts to contact all the farmers directly
  for agricultural extension in their own village
• Events were usually organized at the block level
  which the farmers were invited to attend. These
  programs were away from their homesteads, the
  women were largely excluded from the activities
• VLW not able to attend as loaded with
  multifunction tasks.
• The Krushi Mahotsav, conducted in a
  campaign-mode, for the first time helped bring
  the critical stakeholders and service providers
  to the farmers themselves in their own village.
• The Mobile Exhibition (rath) traveled to every
  village, and provided an opportunity for the
  farmers to interact with the different government
  personnel and agencies
• Even after the rath had passed through the
  village, the programs planned under the Mahotsav
  continued to be implemented through the duration
  of the month.

24
Why the Campaign was Special cont..

• Micro Level Planning

Micro level planning was done for every block and
village. Village level reports were prepared on a
scientific basis by expert teams during the
month-long activities and were handed over to the
village itself for future reference. The micro
plan that was prepared was based on

• Soil Health analysis of land
• Average market price of crops for the last five
  years of that taluka
• Average rainfall pattern in the last 20 years of
  taluka

25
Why the Campaign was Special cont..

• Transfer of Knowledge from Lab to Land

Information and guidance on topics such as soil
health crop rotation organic farming use of
fertilizers and pesticides irrigation and
marketing was imparted directly to the farmers.
In fact, as many as 6.5 lakh farmers in the state
received individual counseling by agricultural
scientists and government personnel.
The advice on agriculture that was provided by
the agricultural scientists revealed to us the
superior quality of organic fertilizers over
chemical fertilizers. With the knowledge that was
shared with us, it looks like our income is
poised to increase within only two years instead
of the estimated five years, says Mittaldas
Narbhoi Maharaj, a farmer in Sisodra village.
