NFSM-Rice• In unlocking opportunities for Arunachal’s Rice
security, inclusion of the state under NFSM-Rice is a boon.
Backdrop• The state’s Rice production of 2.55 lakh MT is 64% of its
requirement ie 36% deficit• Out of 123500 ha area under Rice,90000 ha is under
settled cultivation (irrigated+rainfed)• 56000 ha area is under irrigated rice• Present yield of Rice is 2064 kg ha-1
• With anuual growth target of 8% in Rice, the deficit is expected to come down to 21% by 2026-27 and Rice security is anticipated to be achieved by 2020.

Issues for consideration
• In the approved work plan, there is no provision of mobilization/contingency expenditure.
• Number of orientation training for Extension workers is essential to ensure a good start of the programme which necessarily involves substantial amount.
• Due to poor surface transport, transportation cost of inputs in the state involves huge cost even sometimes exceeding cost of inputs.
• In consideration of above, scheme execution & other miscellaneous expenses to the extent of 10% of overall allocation may be considered.
Awareness workshop
• NFSM guidelines printed and issued to implementing agencies
• Implementing agencies authorized to procure critical inputs from authorized inputs dealers/distributors
• Internal Monitoring system in place• Reporting system through MIS to be followed
