To make the Indian agriculture more climate resilient, there is an urgent
need to demonstrate and disseminate already available best practices on
farmers’ fields in specially vulnerable regions, in addition climate change
and its consequences are beginning to impact agriculture and allied
sectors in India. In agriculture, rainfed agriculture is more vulnerable to
climate to long term strategic research. In this context, there is a need to
evolve innovative institutional mechanisms, like Village Level Climate
Risk Management Committee, Custom Hiring Centers etc., for successful
adoption, ownership and upscaling of proven practices.
During 2012-13, the technology demonstration component of National Initiative on Climate
Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) is being implemented across 23 network centers of All India
Coordinated Research Project for Dryland Agriculture (AICRPDA), both on-station and
on-farm, under 4 Sub-projects viz., (i) Real time contingency plan implementation in a participatory
mode, (ii) Rainwater harvesting (in-situ and ex-situ) and efficient use, (iii) Efficient energy use
and management, and (iv) Alternate land use. The focus was on participatory demonstration of
location specific climate resilient agricultural technologies / package of practices developed by
23 AICRPDA Network Centers (including voluntary Centre, IGFRI, Jhansi). Major emphasis
was given on managing various weather aberrations such as late onset of monsoon, midseason,
terminal droughts and extreme weather such as floods, hailstorm etc. The on-farm program is being
operational in 1456 ha in 36 adopted villages in 26 districts and 15 States representing major rainfed
agro-ecologies in the country.
I compliment Dr. Ch. Srinivasa Rao, Project Coordinator (Dryland Research), Dr. G. Ravindra
Chary, Principal Scientist (Agronomy), Dr. GR. Maruthi Sankar, Principal Scientist (Agricultural
Statistics) and Er. R. Nagarjuna Kumar, Scientist (Computer Application) for their efforts in
program development, implementation and monitoring. I also appreciate the scientists and staff of
AICRPDA and ORP centers for successfully under taking the programme particularly in NICRA
villages. This report presents the details on demonstration of real time contingency planning of
both on-station and on-farm along with the achievements in other thematic areas by AICRPDA
Network Centers. I thank Dr. S. Ayyappan, Director General, ICAR, Dr. A.K. Sikka, DDG (NRM),
Dr. A.K. Singh, former DDG (NRM), Dr. B. Mohan Kumar, ADG (Agron & AF) for providing
guidance and support to AICRPDA from time to time.
