4 nos. projects under RGGVY were sanctioned by MOP, Govt. of

India for electrification of un-electrified villages, partially electrified villages

having population above 100 nos. Out of these 4 projects, 2 projects are

implemented by TSECL and other 2 by PGCIL. Again out of 4 projects, 1

project namely Dhalai was sanctioned in 10th Plan & other 3 were sanctioned

in 11th Plan. But with these sanction amount, only 40% electrification in

uncovered areas is possible. So, for electrification of balance portion of

uncovered areas, it is planned to cover under XII plan of RGGVY scheme.

-26-

In this respect, a new guideline for XII plan of RGGVY scheme is expected to

be published shortly by MOP, Govt. of India.

For 100% coverage of rural electrification, action will be taken

after issuance of new guideline for XII plan RGGVY by MOP, Govt. of India. As

per proposed draft guideline 12th Plan RGGVY will be considered on

habitations having population 50 and above and therefore the remaining

habitation (Below population 50) will be proposed for electrification under

non-conventional source.

An outlay of Rs.50.00 Crores (as matching loan) has been proposed for

works under RGGVY during Annual Plan (2013-14). Total present project

sanction cost for RGGVY project is Rs.197.29 Crores, fund received Rs.172.15

Crores and expenditure incurred Rs.153.10 crore. Progress of works under

RGGVY Scheme upto March – 2013 is given in under mentioned table

The livestock sector plays a vital role in the rural economy and supports

small and marginal farmers both economically and nutritionally. Sixty-seven

percent small, marginal farmers and landless people own about 70% of livestock

edible agricultural bi-products and provides raw materials such as hides, skin,

bones, fat etc. The Animal Resources Development Department promotes

production of Animal origin food i.e. Milk, Meat & egg to meet the requirement of

the people of the state. The Department undertakes up-gradation of the local low

yielding stock of all species of economically important domesticated animals

through Artificial Insemination & other breeding practices apart from supply of

exotic germplasm of high yielding variety of livestock & birds from its breeding

farms. It also renders Veterinary services for Curative & Preventive health care

for animals & birds through its intensive network of Veterinary Hospitals,

Veterinary Dispensaries, Veterinary Sub-Centres, and Disease Investigation

Laboratories etc. for protection of Livestock health of the state.

In spite of hurdles in respect of high feed cost and scarcity of improved

variety of animal husbandry inputs, considerable interest has been developed

among both rural and urban people in taking up modern A.H. practices with high

yielding variety of livestock and birds such as piggery, broiler and dairy farming

as subsidiary as well as main economic activity. Around ten thousand families in

the state are directly or indirectly dependent on the broiler farming with

approximately Rs. 258 crore annual turn over. Similarly, a large number of tribal

and non-tribal youths are engaged in pig farming, which is profitable due to high

demand for pork. In addition, the department has initiated fodder and tapioca

cultivation to minimize the cost of feed for rearing improved variety livestock. For

improvement of dairy sector, the Gomati Cooperative Milk Union Ltd. has already

submitted a project under Integrated Dairy Development Project (IDDP-IV) to the

Government of India. In addition, a project has also been submitted to supply

milch ration to the farmers for enhancing milk production in the state under

NMPS (National Mission For Protein Supplement).

20,000 hectares of area were covered under FRA in Agriculture.

IMPORTANT PROJECTS, SCHEMES/PROGRAMMES PLANNED TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN 2013-14:

The target for production of food grain has been proposed to be

pegged at 8.17 Lakh tons during the year 2013-14 against the anticipated

production of 7.25 Lakh tons in 2012-13. The requirement of food grain is

8.66 Lakh tons during 2013-14 for the projected population of 38.35 Lakhs.

Special thrust will be given to cover 41,000 ha. area under Aush

paddy, 70,000 ha. under Boro paddy, 7,700 ha under Maize, 17,862 ha under

pulses and 12451 ha oilseed. An area of about 1, 00,000 hectare area to be

covered under SRI including 10,000 ha. under Hybrid paddy. To boost up the

-77-

food grain production, an area of 1, 00,000 ha would be covered through

ICM.

Crop diversification in fallow land which accounts for about 84,000

hectares and 60,000 hectares during pre-kharif and rabi seasons respectively

needs to be brought under cultivation through effective cropping sequence

like Vegetables, Potato, Pulses, Oilseeds, Fodder etc. so that farmers can earn

a good income. Special thrust will also be given on crop diversification to

utilize fallow land during pre-Kharif and pre-Rabi season through pulses and

oilseeds cultivation during 2013-14.

Crop-wise addl. area to be brought in Seasonal Fallow land during

2013 -14 is proposed as under:

Pulses: 3280 hac. (Moong- 700 ha, Lentil-1500 ha Arhar-160 ha, Urad

- 300 ha, Rajmash-200 ha, Field Pea-420 ha),

Oilseeds: 2290 hac. (Groundnut-480 ha, Sesamum- 500 ha, Mustard -

750 ha, Soyabean – 310 ha , and Flax /Linseeds – 250 ha.).

In addition 4000 ha. Pulses area targeted to be covered under RoFR.

An area of 10,000 ha. pulses cultivation under Shifting Agriculture as mixed

crop targeted to be covered during 2013-14 from which net area under

pulses would be about 2000 ha.

Thrust will also be given on oilseed cultivation of 3000 ha area in

RoFR land and 2500 ha. in Shifting Agriculture.

Thus, total targeted area under pulses during the year 2013-14 would

be 17862 ha. against existing area of 8582 ha (2011-12). and oilseed 12451

ha. against existing area of 4661 ha(2011-12).

Seed Replacement Rate across the Farm household at the optimum

level (i.e. for Paddy-33%, for Pulses and Oilseeds -50%) should be continued.

Special attempt shall be made to cover those farmers, who are not replacing

their seeds on time.

Production of Certified HYV seeds are proposed to be continued in the

Government Farms as well as in farmers’ fields through Registered Growers’

Programme with proper seed testing, seed processing, storage facilities.

Increased labour costs make it imperative to go in for farm

mechanization of all agricultural operations, such as sowing, weeding and

threshing. Mechanization in agriculture is essential for minimizing cost of

-78-

production. Additive subsidy for some machinery/equipment like Mini

Tractor, Power Weeder, Transplanter, Seed Drill, Drum Seeder, Mini-

combined Harvester and other labour saving equipments etc. is proposed for

small and marginal farmers dovetailing all sources of funds including the

Sate Plan. The Government will have to pioneer development of appropriate

SHGs/Farmers’ Groups/ Farmers’ Club for providing custom hiring services

of agricultural machinery and equipments to the farmers. Custom Hiring

Service/Agro Service Centre of farm machinery and implements may be set

up at block level to help the farmers reducing the cost of cultivation. Group

approach through appropriate SHGs/Farmers’ Groups/ Farmers’ Club may

also be considered through subsidy/financial assistance. Identified

equipment may be supplied to the Groups on subsidy with dovetailing PDF

Funds.

The state is having 554 Primary Rural Markets, of which Wholesale

Assembling Markets are 84 and Regulated Markets are 21 guided by Tripura

Agricultural Produce Markets Act. Efforts will be continued to develop

infrastructure of the existing markets including Rural Haats.

Micro nutrient deficiency especially in the form of Zinc and Boron can

be effectively addressed by way of application of Zinc Sulphate and Borax as

per doses recommended for specific crops. The small and marginal farmers

of the state are not coming forward for use in their crop field. The

distribution of the same is proposed to be made by way of providing subsidy

by dovetailing funds from different schemes and programmes including the

State Plan for 40,000 hectares area during 2013-14.Efforts to bring One lakh

eligible farmers under KCC will be continued during current year.

Jhumias will be assisted in practicing improved method of Jhum

cultivation. In addition, it is proposed to bring 5,000 hectares of forest land

under Agricultural crops during 2013-14 which rights were vested with

tribal forest dwellers under Forest Right Act.
