production. Promotion is done through providing incentives for adoption or on-farm
demonstration of the technology.
Interventions: The following technologies are being adopted under the programme during
2021-22:
a) Promotion of Line Sowing/Transplanting -
b) Promotion of green manuring-cum-Seed Production of dhanicha
c) Seed Treatment Campaign (Organising demonstrations & training of
farmers)

3. PROMOTION OF INTEGRATED FARMING:

Objective: Promotion of Integrated Farming System approach through providing
subsidy assistance for establishment of Integrated Farms depending on prevailing agro-
climatic situation.
Interventions: Integrated Farming System Models

4. SPECIAL PROGRAMME FOR PROMOTION OF INTEGRATED FARMING

(SPPIF) IN TRIBAL AREAS:
 Objective: To promote Integrated Farming System approach through providing
subsidy assistance for establishment of Integrated Farms in Tribal areas both in
community model and individual model.
Intervention: The programme is being implemented in Malkangiri, Rayagada, Koraput,
Gajapati and Nuapada districts and would be extended to other tribal areas based on
the results.

5. TECHNOLOGY MISSION ON SUGARCANE DEVELOPMENT:

Objective: To popularise the latest technologies in sugarcane cultivation to enhance
the production and productivity.
Intervention: The interventions include
 Sustainable Sugarcane Initiative
 Ratoon Management Demonstration
 Creation of Seed-cane hubs in Sugarcane growing areas
 Farmer-Scientist-Extension Interface
 Production Incentive to cane growers producing 100 MT in Sugar Factory
Zone

6. TECHNOLOGY MISSION ON COTTON:

Objective: To encourage production of quality cotton fibre by enabling farmers through
capacity building for adoption of appropriate post-harvest technology and
build up a strategy for smooth marketing and MSP operation.
Intervention: Demonstration on Integrated Crop Management, Farmers training on
grading & marketing of cotton, Farmers Training on Integrated crop
production, Capacity Building on production & marketing of cotton for
Agriculture Extension Personnel, Awareness campaign on PHM &
Cotton Procurement, Farm Implements/ PP Equipment, Sprinkler
Irrigation System, Distribution of PP Chemicals & Bio Agents and cotton
procurement.

7. SUPPORT TO CROP INSURANCE IN THE STATE:

Objective: The farmers of our state suffer greatly due to vagaries of monsoon on a
regular basis and our objective would be to enrol maximum number of
farmers under crop insurance.
Intervention: The farmers would be encouraged to enroll under crop insurance by
creating awareness and capacity building. It is envisaged to outreach about
25 lakh farmers covering 15 lakh ha of crops under the scheme.

8. MANAGEMENT OF SOIL HEALTH:

Objective: Owing to the instances of soil health deterioration due to intensive
agriculture practiced in these modern days management of soil health has
grown as a priority before us. Thus managing problems of soil acidity,
nutrient deficiency, deterioration of soil physic-chemical properties through
various interventions and up-keeping soil health for sustainable crop
 production emerges as one of the important objectives and being looked
into under the scheme.
Intervention: It is designed to take up different interventions like Management of
Acid Soils, Operationalisation of Soil and Quality Control Labs, promotion
of Organic Farming, demonstration of soil health management skills etc are
under this. This would also include other interventions directed towards
management of soil health for sustainable crop production.
9. PROMOTION OF NEED BASED PLANT PROTECTION:
Objective: To promote need based plant protection through creating awareness based on
pest surveillance and as per prevailing agro-climatic situation.
Intervention: Subsidy extended on purchase of plant protection chemicals based on need
for disease and pest control. Besides, Student scouts are being appointed for
facilitating farmers in pest management and other agricultural operations.

10. DEVELOPMENT OF AGRICULTURE IN COLLABORATION WITH

INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS:
Objective: Collaborate with international Institutions for identification of appropriate
technology and effective technology transfer and enhance production of cropping
systems.

11. SPECIAL PROGRAMME FOR MILLETS IN TRIBAL AREAS OF ODISHA

Objectives: To increase productivity of millets and promote millet based enterprises for
