IFPRI- CSISA organized a one day high level policy roundtable on Sustainable Intensification in India’s Risk-Prone Ecologies: Investment strategies for productivity growth, resource conservation, and climate risk management” on May 19, 2014 in New Delhi.
This roundtable, brings together a high-level small group of individuals from the corporate, government, and research sectors to address one of India’s most urgent challenges to food security and economic growth—how to encourage private sector investment in accelerating productivity growth in India’s risk-prone ecologies while simultaneously conserving the environment.
There are solutions already in farmers’ fields and rural markets that respond to these challenges, and this Roundtable will highlight recent advances, for example: innovative financial products and information services for small-scale farmers; diagnostic tools for managing water and soil nutrient scarcity; custom-hired resource-conserving machinery for small farms; crop diversification and high-value marketing strategies; and stress-resistant wheat and rice varieties. But the search for solutions is far from complete. This Roundtable is meant to engage participants in a rapid-fire discussion of recent technical solutions in Indian agriculture, the prospects for policy change, and corporate outlooks for the next five years. The purpose is to help public and private sector players to identify common investment strategies, forge partnerships, and chalk out collaborative efforts to effect technological, market, and policy improvements in India’s risk prone ecologies.
On June 14 - 15, on the occasion of 27th foundation day of U.P. Council of Agricultural Research, Lucknow, a two day National Conference was held on Mass Communication as an effective tool for Agriculture Development, Prof B. N. Singh delivered his lecture on On-farm Research on Aerobic rice Technology Testing and Dissemination in the said conference.

Rice based cropping system is a major cropping system practiced in India, which include the rotation of crops involving rice, pulses, oil seeds, cotton, sugarcane, green manures, vegetables, etc. Various rice based cropping systems have been reported from different parts of India ranging from rice-rice-rice to rice followed by different cereals, pulses, oil seeds, vegetables and fibre crops. Rice based cropping systems may include lowland and upland crops.
Cropping pattern used on a farm and their interactions with farm reservoir, other farm enterprises, available technology and environment. The objective of this cropping system is to utilize all resources efficiently, maintain stability in production and obtaining higher net returns. The cropping system maintains and enhance soil fertility, also minimize disease spread, weed growth and pest infestation and enhances the crop growth. So the crops with suitable qualities should be selected and grown in the cropping system. There are many types of cropping system, among these the rice based cropping system is a major one which include the rotation of crops involving rice, pulses, oilseeds, cotton, sugarcane, green manure etc.. Our Tamil Nadu have seven different zones, based on the soil type, climate and environment, different cropping systems are followed in different zone. Among these Rice based cropping systems, Rice - Pulses is mostly followed. There are also some constraints like shortage of labour, yield stagnation, water scarcity and increased cost of cultivation in following this cropping system but we must overcome those constraints and follow the cropping system and give better improvement to agriculture.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

5. Cropping system (CS) focus in developing an ecological farming
system to manage and organize crops for efficient utilization of
available resources.(soil, air, sunlight, water, labour, equipments)
Represents cropping patterns used on a farm and their
interaction with farm resources and farm enterprises and
available technology
Pattern of crops taken on a piece of land over a fixed period,
associated with soil management practices such as tillage,
manuring and irrigation.
Cropping System
6. • Choose the crop that complement to each other
• Choose crops and a cropping rotation which utilize available
resources efficiently
• Choose crops and a cropping system that maintain and enhance
soil fertility
• Choose crops which have a diversity of growth cycles
• Choose a diverse species of crops
• Keep the soil covered
• Strategically plan and modify cropping system as needed
Basic principles of cropping systems
7. • Monoculture: one crop is grown on a piece of land year after year or repetitive growing of the same sole
crop in the same land
• Multiple cropping: more than two crops are cultivated in a year in succession on the same field
Sequential cropping
Double cropping
Triple cropping
Quadruple cropping
Relay cropping
• Intercropping: Intercropping is the growing of two or more dissimilar crops simultaneously on the same
piece of land
Row intercropping
Mixed intercropping
Stripe intercropping
Multistoreyed/multitier cropping
• Mixed cropping. Mixed cropping deals with growing two or more than two crops simultaneously on the
same piece of land without define row pattern or fixed ratio by mixing the seeds of crops
Types of cropping systems
8. • Cropping systems depends on farm resources, farm enterprise and
farm technology
• When land is limited, intensive cropping is adopted to fully utilize
available water and labour
• When sufficient and cheap labour (family labour) is available,
vegetable crops are also included in the cropping system
• When capital is not a constraint, commercial crops like sugarcane,
banana, turmeric etc. can be fitted in cropping system
Cropping Systems Approaches
9. • Rainfall is <750 mm/annum, monocropping is followed.
Rainfall is > 750 mm/annum, intercropping is practiced.
• When water is plenty, triple and quadruple cropping is adopted.
• Farm enterprises like dairying, poultry etc also influence the type
of cropping system.
• When farm enterprises includes dairy, the cropping system
should contain fodder crops as component crops.
Contd…
10. • Maintain soil fertility
• Enhanced crop growth
• Minimize spread of disease
• Control weeds
• Inhibit pest and insect growth
• Increase soil cover
• Use resources more efficiently
• Reduce risk of crop failure
• Improved food and financial security
