P REAMBLE  The Food Bowl of India (North West) is becoming Unsustainable  Groundwater Depletion and Climatic Variability threatens Food Security  India Needs to Sustain Agricultural Growth to ensure Food Security  Urgent need for ‘Second Green’ revolution from ‘ RAINFED AREAS ’  Are Rainfed Areas Prepared ?

R AINFED AREAS 60% Net Sown Area 60% Net Sown Area  Wider Spatial Coverage  Rainfed agro ecologies cater to Rice, Coarse Cereals, Pulses, Oil seeds, Cotton besides Plantation Crops  Harnessing untapped potential  12 m. ha is under mono crop rice  Water Resources (Ground Water, Rainfall)  Scope for productivity enhancement  Need of the Hour  Mitigating the Risks  Crop Diversification  Farmer Centric Interventions  A new Scheme focusing on development of Rainfed farming system

O BJECTIVES  To Transform rain-fed agriculture into Low Risk- High Yield activity:  Improving agricultural productivity in a sustainable manner  Mitigating the Risks associated with Climatic Variability  Presenting more options for enhancing income generation  Convergence

H IGHLIGHTS  Farmer Centric Approach  Opening up Farming System  Composite Farming  Maximizing Farm Income

W HY RADP AS A S EPARATE S CHEME ? IWMP IWMP RADP RADP  Objective: Restore  Objective: Improving Ecological Balance by Quality of life of harnessing, farmers especially conserving and Small and Marginal developing degraded farmers through a natural resources package of activities  Outcome: Prevention  Outcome: Higher of Soil Runoff, income to farmers, regeneration of higher agricultural natural vegetation, production and rainwater harvesting, mitigating the risk of recharging of climate change groundwater

W HY RADP AS A S EPARATE S CHEME ? IWMP IWMP RADP RADP  Focus: Natural  Focus: Farming Resources System  Approach: Area  Approach : Farmers’ Development Centric  Coverage: Primarily  Coverage: All Rainfed Waste and Degraded areas (Arable) Lands (Non Arable) RADP aims at leveraging the outcome of other schemes and make use of the developed natural resources of IWMP and other development programmes for increasing the production and productivity of Rainfed areas as watershed plus measures
