The improved short and medium duration varieties of cereals and millets were implemented through National Innovations in Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA), in select drought-prone villages through KVKs of ATARI, Bengaluru since 2011 in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. A total of 680 demonstrations were implemented in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu in 288.2 ha area during 2011 to 2015. In Karnataka state, drought tolerant and short duration varieties gave higher yield and net returns as compared to local checks viz.,pearl millet Cv.ICTP-8203, foxtail millet Cv. PS-4 and wheat Cv.DWR-2006 have recorded 34.6 %, 19.5 % and 34.2 % respectively at Belgavi, finger millet Cv.GPU-28 recorded 22.3

% at Chikkaballapura, Cv. GPU-28 and GPU-48 recorded 51.9% and 8.2 to 13.5 % to at Davanagere and finger millet Cv.ML-365 and aerobic paddy Cv.MAS-26 gave 33.3 to 41.8 % and 12.4% to 25.8 % increased yield with better BCR ratio as compared to local varieties at Tumkur. In Tamil Nadu state, the short and medium duration sorghum Cv.K.8 and paddy Cv.ADT-49 gave 45.3 % in sorghum and 10% increase in yield in

paddy at Namakkal, the flood tolerant rice Cv. Swarna sub1 recorded 15.2 %, saline tolerant rice Cv. TRY 3 gave 12.6 % andadvanced rice nursery in kharif for timely planting Cv.ADT-38 gave 8.0 % increase in yield at Nagapattinam. At Villupuram district higher yield ranging from 26.3 to 28.4% in Cv. Anna 4, 18.2% in Cv. Ponni and 23.4% in Cv. ADT-49 were recorded with better BCR as compared to local varieties.
