NABARD-SRI programme in INDIA
Transfer of technology for coverage of 84,000 farmers
Programme designed for 2-3 years
“Model Unit Approach” adopted for field level implementation
Salient features of a Model Unit are as under :
A cluster of 16 villages and 25 farmers per village (total 400
farmers) identified for adoption of SRI technology in the first
year of implementation.
Each identified farmer will undertake cultivation of rice adopting
SRI in his farm.

11. गाँव बढ़े तो देश बढ़े Taking Rural India
NABARD-SRI programme in INDIA
To motivate the farmers to switch over to SRI, incentive by way of grant
input towards cost of markers, weeder, organic manure, fertilizer,
seeds etc.
Provide hand holding support for field level adoption a system of
extension support is put in place through SRI Facilitators and
Coordinators.
SRI promotion programme envisaged replication of 150 such Model
Units across 13 predominant rice growing States.
Total financial outlay under the programme was assessed at Rs.25.68
crore ($3.66million), phased over two year period

12. गाँव बढ़े तो देश बढ़े Taking Rural India
Progress in implementation
Programme launched in 2010 planting season. The progress in implementation
as of 31 March 2015 is :
 Cumulatively 175 projects sanctioned in 13 States.
 Total financial commitment involved was Rs. 25.61 crore, phased over three
year period.
 Total no. of farmers benefited are 1.42 lakh in 2380 villages covering area of
36935.61 Ha.

13. गाँव बढ़े तो देश बढ़े Taking Rural India
Major Impact
 Grain yield in SRI indicates 194% increase while straw yield indicates an
increase of 189%
 SRI method has done comparatively well even in condition of poor
rainfall with drought tolerant variety
 Number of effective tillers per hill and number of grains per panicle
have shown significant increase under SRI
 Cost of cultivation reduced while income level of small and marginal
farmers increased.

Project Implementation Strategy
 Phase I – Preparation of Model Project of SRI in consultation with
leading NGOs like, Sir Dorabji Tata Trust (SDTT), Watershed Support
Services and Activities Network (WASSAN), Professional Assistance for
Developmental Action (PRADAN).
 Phase II - Identification of RSA (Resource Support Agency) and PIA for
implementation in State. The responsibility was given to District
Development manager (DDM) NABARD
 Phase III- Identification of Stakeholders and their capacity building
about SRI
 Phase IV - Sanction and implementation of programme by NABARD
 Phase V - Preparation of future strategy/road map for State Govt.
