Recommendations Action Taken
1 22-01- Nil Director Extension, SKUAST-J KVK Jammu participated in all
2016 suggested that more close liaison with line departments is needed and Farmer Scientist interactions and Kisan Ghoshthies be held for better liaisoning among line departments.
programmes conducted by line departments in the district including ATMA Jammu and Samba. Programmes like Soil Day, Pre- Kharif and Pre Rabi Sammelans, Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojna were conducted and Kisan Ghoshties were organised during each programme.
Director Extension SKUAST-J directed KVK to be in touch with Radio station Jammu for delivering Radio talks.
The requisition from Sh A. K. Malhotra Programme officer, Radio station, Jammu is regularly received and four such talks were delivered by the scientists of SKUAST-J
Director Extension suggested that maximum participation be ensured in field days of KVK so that more farmers can see the results of new technologies.
KVK has conducted seven field days during the year 2016-17 and there was good attendance of farmers during these field days. The farmers from the adjoining villages also participated in the programmes.
Director Research emphasized the need of promoting university varieties through KVK programmes.
The university recommended Paddy (SJR 129), Toria (RSPT 02), Mustard (Giriraj) and wheat varieties (JAUW-584) were depicted in crop cafeteria during 2016-17. KVK also laid Frontline demonstration of university released varieties. We are also promoting Dhingri spawn produced by the University.
Director Extension, SKUAST J directed that all reports of KVK published in media must be collected and sent to directorate for publishing as a booklet.
The press releases from all KVK’s of SKUAST- J have been compiled.
Chairman Suggested to:i) Include some other tree rather
than Su-babool in training programme on “Production technology of economically MPTs.”
ii) Include more fodder crops under training programme entitled “Scientific cultivation of fodder crops”.
i) MPT “Mulberry” was included in place of Su-babool in the said training programme
ii) Barseem, sorghum and cenchrus in addition to oats was included in said training programme.
Director Extension suggested for changing the topic of training on marigold.
The title of the said training was changed to “Scientific cultivation of Marigold” and said training was conducted on 24-05-2016.
Chief Agriculture Officer suggested for conducting training programmes on cultivation of cereals, oilseeds and value addition for field functionaries.
This year KVK Jammu has conducted five programmes on different aspects under in service programmes.
Progressive farmer Sh. Rajinder Banotra requested to provide some suitable vegetable for bower system.
Bitter guard for demonstration purpose was very successful under bower system at farmer’s field.
Head Division of Soil Science suggested for includinglecture on
The suggestion of HOD Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry was
Ethics for safe use of chemicals and pesticides.
incorporated and programme was conducted on 27-06-2016 at village Garhi with 33 participants.
Chief Animal Husbandry officer suggested including a In-service training on “Recent advances in disease management and improvement in nutritive value of low cost roughages”.
KVK has scheduled to conduct this programme in the month of March.
Director Extension also advised to conduct farmer trainings on “Parasitological” and “Nutritional aspect”
Two training programmes namely “Improvement of nutritive value of low quality roughages” and “Parasitic disease and their management in livestock and small ruminates” were conducted on 30-08-2016 at village Sagun and on 22-09-2016 at Chak Chimna respectively with the help of Division of Animal Nutrition and Division of Veterinary Parasitology FVSc. and A.H. R.S.Pura.
Since KVK Jammu was not having any resource person of Soil science, In this regards Chairman directed to have resource person from Division of Soil science and Agriculture Chemistry for trainings on soil science.
Resource person from ACRA, Dhiansar was deputed to KVK Jammu and one farmer’s trainings on soil testing were conducting.

Success story 1: Augmenting wheat production in irrigated plains through introduction and spread of HD-2967
Introduction:
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is most important food grain crop of Jammu district and is cultivated on an
area of 71000 ha. The productivity of wheat in Jammu district was about half (20.41 q/ha) of the national
productivity (30.75 q/ha) during 2012-13 which was a cause of concern. The farmers of Jammu district are
adopting Wheat- Paddy cropping sequence and are mostly dependents upon these two crops for their
sustainability. The major reason identified by the scientists of Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) for the low yield in
wheat was use of local seed, prevailing high incidence of yellow rust disease in PBW-621 and non-adoption of
modern agricultural practices by the farmers of the district. Moreover, the farmers are using grains of the
preceding year wheat crop as a seed and sowing wheat with high seed rate per hectare ranging between 120 and
160 kg/ha resulting in loss of precious seed vis. a vis. inviting competition due to lesser space to plants. Non
treating the seed with fungicide which invites various diseases is also an important factor affecting in low yield.
Due to these faulty practices farmers are getting 30-40 percent lesser yield/ha as compared to the farmers of the
Punjab and Haryana states farmers who were adopting newer variety seeds and were carrying scientific
cultivation in wheat.
KVK Intervention:
The scientists of KVK devised a compressive strategy to convince the farmers of district to use HD 2967
variety seeds. The strategies adopted by KVK for large scale adoption of HD 2967 variety among the farming
community were: conductance of on farm trails (OFT) of HD 2967 wheat variety on farmers field, organized
capacity building programmes for the farmers/farm women to create awareness-knowledge, and showcasing of
yield potential of HD 2967 wheat variety by laying front line demonstrations (FLDs) through the adoption of
seed drill methodilogy. Moreover, farmers’ field days, kissan gosthis and exhibitions were conducted and
extension literature is being extensively distributed for the benefit of the farming community.
Since 2012-13, KVK Jammu gave a push to its extension activities to motivate/convince farmers to adopt
HD 2967 variety in wheat. The number of front line demonstrations laid was increased to infuse a sense of
security and showcase how the productivity of wheat can be increased. 115 frontline demonstration of Wheat
HD 2967 were laid for three consecutive years under irrigated conditions covering an area of 26.8 ha. For
vertical spread on these varieties, the results of the OFTs are being discussed with farmers during training
programmes and other extension activities of KVK. The farmers responded effectively for variety being highly
productive and having disease resistant qualities.
APR 2016-17
Impact:
HD 2967 Wheat variety recorded 21 percentage increase in grain yield against PBW-621 which recorded
19.0 q/ha grain yield only. As a result of these activities, the rate of adoption of the HD 2967 variety increased.
Between 2012-13 and 2015-16, due to KVK interventions the area under HD-2967 expended 32 ha in prominent
agricultural subdivisions (Fig. 1) whereas the over all area under HD 2967 variety increased from 2593 ha to
22552 ha (Fig.2) in Jammu district. Thus on 30 percent of wheat area, seed was replaced by HD 2967 variety in
the year 2015-16. Project Director Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research Karnal also told to The
Tribune newspaper on 7th of December, 2016 that In Haryana and Punjab wheat variety HD 2967was being
sown in large areas.

Case Study 1: Transforming the life of a Border Conflict Victim through Skill Development
Introduction:
As the title suggests, the story is about Mrs. Sushma Devi, resident of Suchetgarh, a small hamlet
situated on international border in Tehsil RS Pura, Jammu district of J&K and who belongs to an underprivileged
social caste. Due to unprovoked firing across the border, the life of Mrs. Sushma and her family was quite
miserable. It was not possible to meet two square meals for her family. The pathetic condition of her family
compelled her to leave her studies in 9th standard only. Her parents finally solemnized her marriage at very early
life with one Mr. Suresh Kumar R/o RS Pura, who is a daily rated worker in PHE department, where the salary
was meager and that too never in time. Moreover, the couple had no adequate farm land for livelihood. So there
was crisis in the family. She always thought that how she will be able to earn of her own? Will she ever be
independent? But with such poor educational background, how can she do so? Though, Sushma was not highly
educated, but had a quest to be independent in life and as a result she didn’t succumb to the adversities. Finally, it
was Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK, RS Pura) that became the turning point in her life.
KVK Intervention:
A Ray of Hope and answer to all her questions was found when she heard of Krishi Vigyan Kendra
which gives training to rural women on skill development. Mrs. Sushma Devi is an excellent example of how
woman can effectively utilize their talents and leisure time for income generation. She attended first training on
food processing at KVK along with other ladies of same block. This was just the beginning after that she never
looked back. She started coming to KVK at regular basis to enquire about other skill development programmes.
Her persistent efforts attracted KVK scientists to identify her as one of the candidate for other training
programmes as well. Decorative Cushion making training programme was one of those trainings that changed her
life completely.
Input:
Though she was a hardworking lady but she lacked opportunity and KVK provided her with that
opportunity she was looking for. She realised that there are people who will help her to succeed.Meanwhile, she
attended 7 days training programme on cushion making along with other members of SHG who were part of a
local NGO. SMS Home- science of KVK motivated her to be part of self help groups. NGO representatives
explained to her that how she can take loans from SHG to meet emergency situations which can be house repair,
medical emergency or starting a business enterprise or advance agricultural farming etc.After successfully
completing training she showed her interest towards the business and became a regular visitor to KVK, R.S.Pura
for further guidance & help. Subject Matter Specialist, Home Science, KVK- Jammu arranged extra classes for
her on cushion making and value addition of household articles with the assistance of Programme Assistant,
Home Science. Finally, She became an active member of a local SHG and availed loan through the micro credit
scheme and started her venture under the technical guidance of the KVK .
APR 2016-17 Page 80
Output:
Meanwhile the NGO displayed her cushions to some of the local people who liked her product. The
NGO representative contacted us and requested to put up an exhibition cum sale of her cushions at annual day of
Holy Cross Convent School, R.S.Pura and at Main Church, Gandhinagar, Jammu. Thus, On 23 rd 24th Dec.2016,
An exhibition cum sale of around 300 decorative cushions was put up on each venue and these were sold on the
same day itself. It was a tremendous morale booster for her. Not only this, she received an order of 105 cushions.
Subsequently, KVK Home Scientist coordinated with the people from Red Cross Society, Jammu who organized
Mela at Government College, Gandhi Nagar on 27-28 January 2017. She booked a stall there for herself at the
cost of Rs.1000 and again her cushions were sold out within no time.
Impact:
She has taken bulk orders from fancy stores, textiles and local markets. She has purchased the required raw
materials in bulk and has involved other members of the SHG to work along with her. She does the basic
designing, enrichment and finishing touches herself and the rest of the work is done by other group
members working with her. She purchases the raw materials in bulk at a cheaper rate and the work place is
her-own house. Therefore, the profit she gains has increased and now she plans to showcase her products on
bigger forums such as Kala Kendra under the guidance of KVK scientists.APR 2016-17
Page 81
She is selling one cushion at the rate Rs. 200 and earning profit of Rs. 75 to 100. Now, she is selling
cushions and taking orders from her home itself. Her average income at present ranges from5000-7000 per
month.
With this innovative and very successful idea, Mrs. Sushma Devi has achieved a greater economic status in
her family. She has a greater say in the decision-making process of the family. The micro-credit support and
KRISHI VIGYAN KENDRA has helped Mrs. Sushma Devi to live a life of dignity, respect and self-
reliance.
Future application:
KVK R.S PURA is trying to loop in more youngsters and impart training to them and develop young
entrepreneurs through various skill trainings in the areas of agriculture and the allied fields.
KVK is all set to bring a sea change in this border belt by collaborating with various agencies both of the
state and the centre including flagship schemes of GOI like PMKVY etc.

KVK Jammu with vision to test new wheat varieties for their suitability in Jammu Laid out On Farm
Trials on Three wheat Varieties Namely HD2967(farmer practice), HD 3086 and WH 1105 for two
successive Rabi seasons in 2015-16 and 2016-17. The results of the OFT depicts that HD 3086 and WH
1105 are outperforming HD2967 in terms of Yields. The impact of OFT’s is visible by the fact that
1737 and 856 ha area has been put under these new varieties during the current Rabi season which is
self-explanatory that the ON Farm trials of KVK have been accepted by the farmers of Jammu district.

11. Unscientific practices
Opportunity
1. High demand for milk and other animal based products offers higher returns.
2. Tremendous scope for self employment and income generation.
3. Increased availability of organic manure fir vermin-compost units
4. Bridging yield gaps
Threats
1. Non descript poor graded bulls used for Breeding of cattle
2. Economic loss due to threat of out breaks of Poultry Diseases
3. Poultry feed expensive on account of import of other feed stuffs from other parts of country.
Fisheries Sector
Strengths
1. Fish production, productivity and acreage increasing steadily over years
2. Vast unfulfilled demand for fish with easy market accessibility
3. Greater people participation and generation of employment opportunities especially for landless
and marginal farmers
Weakness
1. Weak infrastructure for fish seed production and genetic up-gradation
APR 2016-17 Page 113
2. Lack of farmer oriented activities e.g. trainings, demonstrations, exposure visits, awareness
camps etc. to update farmer’s practices of fish production and management
3. Inadequate quality seed availability of high yielding fresh water fish
Opportunity
1. Immense scope for fish seed (fingerling) production to cater the needs of fish farmers
2. Ample scope for mobilizing untapped water resources such as water logged area and soil for
aquaculture
3. Integrated fish farming
Threats
1. High mortality in juvenile and adult fish
2. Absence of any reputed centre/ source of fish feed, fisheries management institute
3. Lack of post harvest management practices by farmers
4. Poor facilities for soil and water sample testing, disease diagnosis and post harvest
infrastructures
