NATIONAL FOOD SECURITY MISSION WHEAT & PULSES Government of India has launched centrally sponsored National Food

d Security Mission in the State from Rabi 2007-08. Two crops namely wheat and pulses have been covered under the Mission. It has been envisaged to focus on districts having high potential but relatively low level of productivity. Seven districts of the state namely Ambala, Yamunanagar, Bhiwani, Mahendergarh, Gurgaon, Rohtak and Jhajjar have been covered under NFSMWheat. In case of pulses, five districts i.e. Bhiwani, Hisar, Sirsa, Rohtak & Sonepat were covered during 2007-08 to 2009-10. From the year 2010-11, all the districts have been covered under NFSM-Pulses. Main objective of the Mission is to increase production of wheat and pulses through area expansion and productivity enhancement in a sustainable manner in the identified districts of the state.

INTERVENTIONS UNDER NATIONAL FOOD SECURITY MISSION To achieve the objectives of the Mission following interventions have been envisaged in the scheme: Distribution of certified seed Existing Seed Replacement Rates of wheat and gram are about 33% and 10% respectively. Under the Mission, it has been planned to raise/maintain the SRR of wheat to 33%. Therefore, financial assistance on distribution of certified seed of wheat and pulses @ 50% of cost limited to Rs. 500/- and 1200/- per quintal respectively is provided to farmers. Demonstrations Demonstrations of improved package of practices in wheat and pulses are organized with financial assistance of Rs. 2000/- per acre. In these demonstrations inputs like seed, fertilizers and plant protection chemicals are provided to farmers. Seed minikits Seed minikits of new and promising varieties of wheat are distributed among the farmers free of cost to assess the performance of these varieties in our State in comparison to the existing varieties. These minikits are supplied by NSC and SFCI which are Government of India undertakings. Micronutrients Deficiency of micronutrients, particularly Zinc Sulphate, is being reported from various parts of the State. Deficiency of micronutrients affects the productivity of crops. Therefore, financial assistance on micronutrients @ 50% of cost limited to Rs. 500/- per hectare is provided to farmers. Gypsum Gypsum is the cheapest source of Sulphur which is an essential element for plants. Widespread Sulphur deficiency is being reported from various parts of the State. Therefore, financial assistance on gypsum @ 50% of cost of material plus transportation cost limited to Rs. 750/- per hectare is provided to farmers. Gypsum is arranged and distributed by Haryana Land Reclamation & Development Corporation (HLRDC). Farm Machinery To improve the efficiency of farming operations and to reduce the cost of cultivation, assistance on farm machinery is provided to farmers. Under the Mission, financial assistance is provided on Zero till seed drill, Multi-crop planter & Seed drill @ 50% of cost limited to Rs. 15000/- and Rotavator @ 50% of cost limited to Rs. 30000/- per machine. Assistance @ 50% of cost limited to Rs. 150000/- is also available on Laser Land Leveller to a group of ten farmers. Knap sack sprayers For timely and better management of pests and diseases in wheat and pulse crops, Knap sack sprayers are provided to farmers on 50% of cost limited to Rs. 3000/- whichever is less. Farmers Field School Farmers Field Schools are organized on farmers fields to provide practical knowledge about the incidence of various pests and diseases on the crops and their management practices. Financial assistance @ Rs. 17000/- per FFS is provided for organizing these Schools. Integrated Pest Management A number of pests and diseases affect the productivity of pulse crops. An integrated approach is necessary to manage their incidence and minimize the loss to the crop productivity. Demonstrations on IPM technology are organized with financial assistance @ 50% of cost limited to Rs. 750/- per hectare. Bio-fertilizers

Bio-fertilizers like Rhizobium and Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB) help the pulse crops in better utilization of atmospheric Nitrogen and Phosphorus fixed in soil. To facilitate this, Bio-fertilizer packets are distributed with financial assistance @ 50% of cost limited to Rs. 100/- per hectare. Plant Protection Chemicals If biological control measures do not result in effective control of various pests and diseases, then use of chemical pesticides and fungicides becomes necessary. For timely control of these pests, Plant Protection chemicals are provided to pulse growing farmers with financial assistance @ 50% of cost limited to Rs. 500/- per hectare. Weedicides Weeds compete with the crop plants for water, nutrients, sunshine etc. Therefore, infestation with weeds affects the water and nutrients uptake efficiency of the crop plants. In order to promote timely and better management of weeds, weedicides are provided to pulse growing farmers with financial assistance @ 50% of cost limited to Rs. 500/- per hectare. Sprinkler sets To improve water use efficiency of pulse crops, sprinkler sets are provided to farmers with financial assistance @ 50% of cost limited to Rs. 7500/- per hectare. Water carrying pipes Assistance is also available on pipes for carrying water from the source to the field in pulse crops @ 50% of cost limited to Rs. 15000/- per farmer. Seed components Financial assistance is provided to HSDC for the purchase of Breeder seed, production of Foundation seed and production of Certified seed of pulse crops @ full cost and Rs. 1000/- per quintal respectively.
