VISION 2010

    The State shall be self sufficient in food production and would have fully utilized the horticulture and floriculture potential The state will develop a strong supportive infrastructure for rapid agricultural development as also for storage, preservation and marketing of agriculture produce.

ACHIEVEMENTS

  1. Seed Replacement Ratio (SRR) increased from negligible in 1990-2000 to about 5% by 2004-05.

  2. As a result of measures taken to develop rain fed farming the area coverage under pulses and oil seeds increased from 2.70 lakh ha( 1999-2000) to 4.03 lakh ha(2003-04)

  3. Agri-Export Zone for vegetables has been notified and efforts are on to make it fully operational to give a boost to vegetable production in the state.

  4. 8000 acres of additional area has been brought under multi-cropping system through soil and water conservation measures.

  5. Vegetable growers were provided vehicular support to carry their produce to better markets.

  6. Krishak Bazars have been established in Jamshedpur and Dhanbad and are being established in Ranchi, Hazaribagh and Bokaro.

  7. Hi-tech nurseries and Training cum Demonstration Centre for floriculture have been conceptualized to be established in current year to give impetus to commercial floriculture.

  8. Agriculture implements including 1400 power tillers and small tractors have been distributed among the farmers to encourage the farm mechanization to reduce cost off production.
