Sl.No Date of
SAC
Recommendation Status of Action Taken in brief
1 20.6.2013 Location specific need based
interventions have to be made
by the KVK especially in the
major crops like ground nut,
gingelly, rice and sugarcane.
The KVK, Vridhachalam is being
conducted various OFT and FLD on
major crops like rice, groundnut,
gingelly and sugarcane in the region.
The interventions includes latest
released variety, technologies for
crop management and crop
protection are taken in the region.
2 Formulate an OFT on
Assessment of suitable cropping
pattern utilizing farm ponds
both under lined and unlined
ponds.
5 No.s of On Farm Trails were
conducted at Athiyanallur,
Thatchakadu and B.Muttlur each in 1
acre. the cropping system like Direct
seeded paddy/paddy – rice fallow
pulses and groundnut+ pulses (4:1
ratio)were raised for identifying the
suitable cropping pattern utilizing the
harvested rain water. Among the five
farm pond, one pond is lined with
high density polyethylene sheets to
avoid the percolation, seepage and
infiltration losses. Daily weather
parameters(Rainfall, Evaporation,
Temperature were recorded)Direct
seeded rice were harvested. rice
fallow pulses and groundnut crops
are in the field
3 Include marketing avenues in
all the interventions made by
the KVK.
The KVK, Vridhachalam giving
training and technology advisories to
the farmers along with their value
addition and market preference.
4 Involve farmer representatives
from village panchayats for the
SAC meeting.
The farmers representative from each
block and members from farmer’s
club will be invited for the SAC
meeting in future.
5 Conduct farmer, extension
officials and scientists
interaction meet to make issue
based interventions.

interaction meeting on issue based
interventions with farmer, extension
officials and scientists on
29.10.2013. The leading farmers
were participated and given
suggestions in the developing
interventions.

ten leading progressive farmers from
each blocks of the districts. Besides,
the leading farmers in major crops
cultivated in the districts were also
collected. The farmers are being
invited for the training conducted
and they were master trained in
various aspects for easy
dissemination of the technology.
