this slide includes recent approaches to evaluate cropping system.
It includes system profitability,relative production efficiency,land use efficienct(LUE),Calculation of LUE,energy efficiency,specific energy,Rotational intensity,Cropping intensity,Multiple cropping index(MCI),Land equivalent ratio (LER),Relative yields total (RYT),Crop equivalent yields (CEY),Relative Spread Index
The Contingency plans cover contingency strategies to be taken up by farmers in response to major weather related aberrations such as delay in onset and breaks in monsoon causing early, mid and late season droughts, floods, unusual rains, extreme weather events such as heat wave, cold wave, frost, hailstorm and cyclone.
At present, the farmers concentrate mainly on crop production which is subjected to a high degree of uncertainty in income and employment to the farmers. In this contest, it is imperative to evolve suitable strategy for augmenting the income of a farm.

Presented by Ben Lukuyu, Leonard Marwa, Chrispinus Rubanza, Anthony Kimaro and Christopher Mutungi at at the Africa RISING ESA Project Review and Planning Meeting, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, 11-12 September 2019.
This Thematic Paper is part of a Toolkit for Project Design (Livestock Thematic Papers: Tools for Project Design) which reflects IFAD’s commitment to developing a sustainable livestock sector in which poor farmers and herders might have higher incomes, and better access to assets, services, technologies and markets.
The paper indents to be a practical tool for development practitioners, project designers and policymakers to define appropriate livestock development interventions. It also provides recommendations on critical issues for rural development and also possible responses and actions to encourage the socio-economic empowerment of poor livestock keepers.

Conservation agriculture for resource use efficiency and sustainability BASIX
The Green Revolution era focused on enhancing the production and productivity of crops. New challenges demand that the issues of efficient resource use and resource conservation receive high priority to ensure that past gains can be sustained and further enhanced to meet the emerging needs. Extending some of the resource-conserving interventions developed for the agricultural crops are the major challenges for researchers and farmers alike. The present paper shares recent research experiences on resource conservation technologies involving tillage and crop establishment options and associated agronomic practices which enable farmers in reducing production costs, increase profitability and help them move forward in the direction of adopting conservation agriculture.

It is precondition of success to any development project/ program 'the participation of Farmers'. How to involve them and how we can achieve the participation.
Horticulture with animal husbandry is most suitable farming system in Hill and Mountain ecosystems. It has varied options for employment and conservation of environment.
PURA project was the dream project of our beloved Ex President Dr A P J Abdul Kalam and was initiated in the Tehri district of Uttarakhand as pilot project.
Earlier Uttarakhand was thought as Cyber state but it is very far from being. The steps towards cyber state are week. People's awareness, participation and investment for infrastructure are poor. There is a great scope of ICT for agricultural development in the state.
Hill and Mountain ecosystems comes under risk prone agriculture. Devastation in Uttarakhand compeled us to think over risk prone agriculture and develop managerial methods.
Use of It in Agriculture. There are several examples but for example one is addressed. For another green revolution IT is must and farmers should be educated.

India Orthopedic Devices Market: Unlocking Growth Secrets, Trends and Develop...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, “India Orthopedic Devices Market -Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030”, the India Orthopedic Devices Market stood at USD 1,280.54 Million in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 7.84% in the forecast period, 2026-2030F. The India Orthopedic Devices Market is being driven by several factors. The most prominent ones include an increase in the elderly population, who are more prone to orthopedic conditions such as osteoporosis and arthritis. Moreover, the rise in sports injuries and road accidents are also contributing to the demand for orthopedic devices. Advances in technology and the introduction of innovative implants and prosthetics have further propelled the market growth. Additionally, government initiatives aimed at improving healthcare infrastructure and the increasing prevalence of lifestyle diseases have led to an upward trend in orthopedic surgeries, thereby fueling the market demand for these devices.

climatic zones of India
Regions System
High altitude cold desert Pastures with agro-forestry, goats, angora rabbits and a
region limited agricultural crops like millets, wheat, barley,
fodders are recommended.
Arid and desert region Farming system is centering mainly in animal
husbandry with camels, sheep and goat and with
moderate cropping components involving pearly millet,
wheat, pulses, gram and fodder.
Western and central Horticultural crops act as a major component and have
Himalayan region a less intensive agriculture mainly on the hill terraces
and slopes with maize, rice, wheat, pulses and fodder
crops.
Eastern Himalayan region Primitive crop husbandry with rice, millets, pulses etc.
Agro-forestry system are also common. Piggery and
poultry are the chief livestock activity.

27. Regions System
Indo-gangetic plains Intensive crop husbandry involving rice-wheat,
maize-mustard pulses is integrated livestock
(including dairy cattle and buffaloes).
Central and southern Cotton-sorghum-millets-pulses in linked with dairy-
highlands cattle, sheep, goat poultry (as the secondary
enterprises).
Western ghats Major activity is cultivation of plantation crops.
Cultivation of rice and pulses are the secondary
agricultural activity. Cattle, sheep and goats are the
livestock components which is maintained as large
herds and allowed for free ranging.
Delta and coastal plains Rice cultivation is linked along with fish culture,
poultry and piggery enterprises. Capture fisheries
of the marine ecosystem is a specialized enterprise
and does not mix with cropping activity.

Lack of awareness about sustainable farming systems
Unavailability of varied farming system models
Lack of credit facilities at easy and reasonable interest rate
Lack of banking aptitude and habit to take full advantage of credit
facilities

Need to conduct adaptive research for developing efficient IFS model
Provision of training to technicians, extension workers and farm
engineers to support and sustain farming system
Availability of adequate banking facilities and loans with the priority
to small and marginal farmers
Provision of assured marketing facilities specially for perishable
commodities
A better coordination among research institutes, Govt. development
agencies and NGOs
Timely supply of necessary inputs on subsidized base
Farmer should develop their banking aptitude and habits to take full

Cataloguing and utilization of ITK concepts in the development of 62
farming system modules
63. • IFS is a promising approach for increasing over all productivity
and profitability through recycling the farm by-products, and
efficient utilization of available resources
• It could further generate employment opportunities to the farming
communities round the year and provide a better economic and
nutritional security
• The combination of different enterprises needs to be seriously
viewed. This can go long way uplift rural life through increased
income .
