Farm women reaction
-Kitchen gardening gives continues supply of fresh vegetables at lower cost which gives daily nutritious diet
-In kitchen gardening farm women are not applying any agrochemicals so they produce organic vegetables
-Before demonstration, farm women were growing only three to four vegetable crops in their backyard but after demonstration they said that they will grow different vegetable crops through kitchen gardening in scientific way
-They gave extra vegetables to their neighbors
-Farm women said that now we will generate income by selling of extra vegetables because now they are aware about precious organic vegetables
- Due to kitchen gardening children learned to about plant cognization and bio diversity.

Output of Intervention:
     After successful completion of training, he has made improvement in his dairy farming adopting newer concept that learn by him during training. This helped him to reduce the cost of production resulting in the higher net return. He started scientific dairy farming by purchase of 20 buffalo under guidance of KVK, Targhadia. He made a comfortable shed, management for animals in modern way.  He uses chaff cutter for cutting green and dry grass resulting in 30% saving of animal food and improves digestion. He also uses fogger system for control of temperature and mineral mixture powder to increase milk production and reduction of inter-calving period in animal. He is also carried out timely vaccination and deworming of animal for the control of microbial and parasitic disease in animal.

(vi) Special Project on Cotton:
“Targeting technologies to agro-ecological zones - large scale demonstrations of best practices to enhance cotton productivity”
General Operational Guidelines:
1. The pilot project will be implemented as per the project implementation framework and work plan through Public Private Partnership in DBT mode adopting a cluster based and value chain approach
2. Implementing partners are responsible for selection of clusters, villages and farmer beneficiaries in identified districts/ states and are responsible for timely conduct of demonstrations as per protocol for interventions and activity timelines indicated.
3. Implementing partners (seed firms) and extension organizations (CITI CD&RA, SIMA CD&RA and ATARI-KVKs, SDA-ATMA) are responsible for capacity building of staff and farmers, providing extension services and timely collection of data for uploading in web portal as per project/ module requirements
4.  All project sites to be geo-referenced for mapping of clusters
5. Engagement of project staff is per the norms of the host organization and their engagement is purely co-terminus with the project
6. NSAI, FSII and participating seed firms must ensure that only approved / notified genotypes suitable for HDPS, Closer Spacing and ELS are arranged and supplied to farmers in a timely manner in the pilot project for seed assistance through DBT ensuring seed quality meeting the minimum prescribed seed standards
7. CITI is mandated for development of the web portal to facilitate DBT pattern of assistance of DA & FW to farmers under on-going government schemes/ programs
8. CITI and CCI to provide market linkages and support to the clusters
9. Implementing partners to document and facilitate uploading of data, photos, videos and success stories emanating from the project activities from time to time
10. The pattern and quantum of assistance will be as per norms approved under the project and technology assistance up to one ha/ farmer household may be provided.
11. Statement of Expenditure and Utilization Certificate (duly vetted by the competent authority) for budget allocated must be provided on time by all the implementing partner
     Under NFSM a special project on “Technology targeting agro-ecological zones – large scale demonstrations of best practices to enhance cotton productivity” has been awarded to ICAR-CICR, Nagpur. The project is proposed to be implemented in partnership with seed and textile industry partners with the extension support of KVKs in PPP mode. A copy of the letter from DA & FW, MoA, GoI conveying the administrative approval of the project is attached herewith. This project is a joint effort involving both the Ministries of Agriculture & FW and Ministry of Textile at the highest level.
     Despite the country having more than 1/3rd of the global area, cotton productivity is far below the global average. High Density Planting system (HDPS) and Closer Spacing with compact genotypes at higher plant population (2-4 times) compared to the current plant population of 15000-18000 plants/ha will be demonstrated in farmers’ fields along with canopy and nutrient management for realizing enhanced productivity. Although India is the third largest cotton exporter, it imports Extra Long Staple Cotton (ELS) to meet the domestic requirement. Large scale demonstrations on production technology for ELS are also envisaged in the project.
     In the special project on cotton, 44 KVKs in seven states under four ATARIs viz., Hyderabad (21 KVKs), Pune (18 KVKs), Jabalpur (2 KVKs) and Bengaluru (3 KVKs) have been proposed for providing extension support and to closely work with State Department of Agriculture and seed industry partners in cluster mode. Adequate budget provision has been made to KVKs to support envisaged extension activities, field manpower and machinery assistance.
CICR, is the Nodal Implementing institute for this project.
