Key Program Achievements• NABARD has replicated SDTT-SRI Model through NGO partners from Kharif’2010 with a

budgeted allocation of Rs 16 crore across 3 years.

• Moderate success has been achieved in building an alliance with the local State Governments, in variable scales.

• The E-group (SRI-India Google Group) pioneered by SDTT now has over 500 members and emerged as a notable platform for exchanging experiences on System of Rice Intensification.

• A common MIS has been developed by the SRI Secretariat to capture the on-field data and to track programme progress.

• Innovations in low cost weeders and markers by the farmers has diversified spread of SRI and its adoption.

• SRI principles has been successfully tried in other crops such as wheat, finger-millets, rapeseed, mustard, sugarcane and few vegetables.

• The Secretariat has come up with the findings of the SRI on-farm research being done with partners.

Study & Analysis

Research on SRI

• On-farm SRI Research: Involves 4 selected SDTT-SRI Partners Four varied Agro-Climatic Zones of India Four states – Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Odisha and Jharkhand

• Collaborative SRI Research: With State Agricultural University – Bidhan Chandra Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (BCKV), Kalyani Both on-station and on-farm locations in eight districts of West Bengal

• Impact of SRI on Soil Nutrient Status: Rice-wheat Cropping System in the Gangetic Plains (Gaya, Bihar) Mountain Farms (Uttarakhand)

Dis-adoption & Issues on SRI Promotion

• Lack of proper awareness among the farmers

• High expectations of the farmer

• Less priority on adoption of important SRI principles

• Pumping inputs

• High incentives for line sowing in few states

• Withdrawal of hand holding support

• Erratic rainfall affecting time-bound operations

• Trials in small patches in many districts
