4. National Food Security Mission (NFSM)- The National Development Council (NDC) in its 53rd meeting held on 29th May, 2007 adopted a resolution to launch a Food Security Mission comprising rice, wheat and pulses to increase the annual production of rice by 10 million tonnes, wheat by 8 million tonnes and pulses by 2 million tonnes by the end of the Eleventh Plan (2011-12). Accordingly, a Centrally Sponsored Scheme, 'National Food Security Mission' (NFSM), was launched in October 2007.
The Mission met with an overwhelming success and achieved the targeted additional production of rice, wheat and pulses. The Mission continued during 12th Five Year Plan with new targets of additional production of food grains of 25 million tonnes of food grains comprising of 10 million tonnes rice, 8 million tonnes of wheat, 4 million tonnes of pulses and 3 million tonnes of coarse cereals by the end of 12th Five Year Plan.

6. District Agro-Meteorological Unit (DAMU) In order to provide direct services to the farming community of the country an exclusive Division of Agricultural Meteorology was set up in 1932 under the umbrella of India Meteorological Department (IMD) at Pune with the objective to minimize the impact of adverse weather on crops and to make use of favourable weather to boost agricultural production. India Meteorological Department (IMD), Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES), Govt. of India, New Delhi is operating an integrated Agro-Meteorological Advisory Service (AAS) at district level, in India, which represents a small step towards agriculture management in rhythm with weather and climate variability leading to weather proofing for farm production. Under AAS, needs of farming community was defined through ascertaining information requirement of diverse groups of end-users. It emerged, that prime need of the farmer is location specific weather forecast in quantitative terms.
The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) and India Meteorological Department (IMD) have jointly planned to augment the Agromet Advisory System (AAS) network to sub-district (block) level. 200 Krishi Vigyan Kendras including the 110 Aspirational districts have been identified for setting up of District Agro-Met Units (DAMUs) to provide Agromet services to farmers.
District Agromet Unit in KVK, Amreli
The District Agromet Unit is running successfully in krishi Vigyan Kendra, JAU, Amreli since October 25, 2019 by recruitment of SMS (Agrometeorology) and Agromet observer. The AMFU (Agro-meteorological Field unit), DFRS, Targhadiya was already provides Agro advisories services to farmers of Amreli district by making District wise Agriculture based weather bulletine, But District agromet is the Concept of IMD and ICAR to provide agro-advisory service for block level Agriculture based weather bulletin.

The District Agrometeorological Unit, KVK, JAU, Amreli is making Agro weather bulletin for all the 11 blocks viz. Amreli, Babra, Bagasara, Dhari, Jafrabad, Khambha, Lathi, Liliya, Kunkavav-vadiya, Rajula and Savarkundla of the Amreli district and also for the District itself.
Weather Bulletin
DAMU making weather bulletin on the basis of medium range forecast provided by India Meteorological Department supported by GFS model for the blockwise wether bulletin. The block-wise advisory is the experimental level now. The advisory preparation is Bilangual (Both the English and Local language) twice in a week on Tuesday and Friday. There are several weather parameter forecast received from IMD i.e. Rainfall, Maximum temperature, Minimum temperature, Relative humidity (maximum and minimum), Cloud cover, Wind speed and direction. After Interpretation of these parameters SMS (Agrometeorology) making weather bulletin by help of different subject matter specialists of Krishi Vigyan Kendra. The bulletin preparation is for main crops of Amreli distct i.e. Cotton, Groundnut, Wheat, Green gram, Pigeon pea, Black gram, Cumin, Chickpea, Mango, Castor, lemon, ber, etc., Plant protection, Field Preparation, Weed management, also for livestock enterprise, fisheries and Poultry.
Dissemination of weather bulletin.
The weather bulletin is disseminate to different departments connected to agriculture, NGOs, individually to farmers group by short message service (mKisan portal), and by social media by making farmers groups.
Farmer Awareness Programmes
Climate based farming is drawing farmer near to precision agriculture. So, farmer awareness is very important for cover more number can receive Agro advisories. Farmers can mitigate their crops itself against uneven weather patterns.
