Promoting SRI in the state of Assam
SRI Partners’ Meet, RanchiDated: 27th , 28th February & 1st March 2013
Mr. Amiya Kumar Das
Areas we are working at
Goalpara
Kamrup
Grameen Sahara
Objectives
1. To build awareness among the farmers to adopt SRI principles for paddy;2. To multiply yield which in turn would lead to enhance income for the small and marginal farmers3. To provide firsthand knowledge about SRI4. To improve Socio-economic status of small and marginal farmers5. To build awareness of farmers to adopt the same technique in cultivating other crops. 6. To mobilize and influence the government institutions to join hands.

Characters at Maturity
Grameen Sahara
Farmers have been introduced with the Compost Manure through E M Technology.
The farmers have been introduced with some HYVs’ of paddy (Kanaklata, Joimoti, etc.) as well some other selected crops.
AGRICULTURE INTERVENTION
Grameen Sahara
High risk of flood, low and static yield characterize the rice production
Heavy rains during May to August cause flooding and affecting the winter rice is adversely in the process.
More often, the flood wave coincides with the maturing and/or harvesting period of summer and Kharif rice in many areas and wash away valuable output.
The performance of the summer rice (boro) has also been uneven due to its high dependency on the input availability, especially irrigation.
Major Challenges
Grameen Sahara
Features of Proposed Project Areas: The areas fall under the lower Brahmaputra Valley
Zone: contributes maximum to the total rice area and production in the state of Assam . But the productivity of rice is the least in this zone.
Climate is sub-tropical Average rainfall is 2169 mm Average number of rainy days is 95 The district experiences floods of moderate to severe
during monsoon. Economy of the district is an agrarian.

Our Next Planning: Promotion SRI Among the Farmers of Four Different Blocks of Goalpara
District of Assam
Grameen Sahara
Lower Brahmaputra Valley Zone of Assam

Base line indicators:
Production of rice per crop per acre is low (About 700-800 Kg)Normally single cropping practice is in existence.
Hardly any of the target farmers are aware about SRI; with the implementation of the project more and more farmers will be skilled to adopt SRI principles.
There is no producer or common interest group, and the farmers clubs are almost dormant. Producers groups will be in existence to take care of farmers needs in future;
Increase in production will be an important indicator for the project;

Next Target

5,000 small and marginal farmers will be benefited by increased rice production and shall have increased food security.Increase in production to at least 1.5 times.Adoption of scientific practice in management of waterSRI principle and practices will be adopted by the farmers in case of other crops as well.There will be demonstration effects in the later part in the surrounding villages of project areas.
