dc.description.abstract | Weather plays an immense role in Indian agriculture. Timely onset and good distribution of rainfall are critical for achieving optimum crop yields by farmers, particularly during Kharif season along with other factors like inputs, labour and technology. Temperature plays a key role during Rabi season particularly in wheat production. Rainfall during the monsoon season not only determines the success of rainfed crops but also influences water availability to irrigated agriculture as most rivers in India are fed by rainfall. Any deviation from normal monsoon pattern affects crop production, fodder availability to livestock and causes huge losses to farmers. Whenever, significant negative departure occurred in the South-West monsoon, such as in the years 2002, 2009, 2012 and 2014, agricultural production during Kharif declined significantly. In pursuance of the recommendations made by Parliamentary Consultative Committee on Agriculture, ICAR-CRIDA and DAC developed 580 district agriculture contingency plans so far to overcome weather aberrations such as drought, unseasonal rainfall, flood, heat wave, and hailstorm covering all sectors of agriculture and minimize the productivity losses. Having prepared these district agriculture contingency plans, revisiting them periodically with current technologies and recent experiences of weather aberrations/ extreme events is essential. Actual implementation of these contingency measures for various weather aberrations suggested for field crops, horticulture, livestock, poultry and fishery sectors at village level is a real challenge. All the stakeholders such as central and state government machinery with a backup of good technical backstopping, seed and input supply agencies, village institutions etc. should come together to take up contingency implementation in a real situation in order to get sustainability of agriculture productivity at farm as well as at the national level. This bulletin covers various aspects on the preparation of district agriculture contingency plan, current status, updating, and real time implementation strategies along with convergence needs. I am sure this publication will be immensely useful to all the stakeholders both at central and state level in planning and implementation of agricultural contingency during weather aberrations. I compliment the authors for bringing out this useful publication timely. | en_US |
