Two pearl millet varieties with 7.0% and 5.4% higher green forage yields as compared to national check Giant Bajra, were released for cultivation in five south India states. These have significantly higher dry fodder yield and superior/or at par forage quality compared to checks. The release is significant given that India has a shortage of 284 million tons of green fodder and 122 million tons of dry fodder. This demand is likely to grow further and India would require 400 and 117 million tons of green and dry fodder, respectively, by 2025.
STATUS OF HYBRID RICE BREEDING IN INDIA & ABROADVishal Pandey
Hybrids have the potential of yielding 15-20% more than the best pureline variety grown under similar conditions in Rice by exploiting the phenomenon of hybrid vigour or heterosis
In view of rapidly increasing population and declining natural resources, Hybrid rice is one of the most important and practically feasible technologies for increasing food-grain production, ensuring food security and boosting farmers income.
To further reduce the cost of hybrid rice seeds, Improvement in hybrid rice seed production technology is needed
Hybrid rice seed production technology is labour and knowledge intensive
There is a need for developing Hybrids suited to rainfed lowland as well as of longer duration to replace longer duration mega inbred varieties

The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) is an autonomous organisation under the Department of Agricultural Research and Education (DARE), Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare , Government of India. Formerly known as Imperial Council of Agricultural Research, it was established on 16 July 1929 as a registered society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 in pursuance of the report of the Royal Commission on Agriculture. The ICAR has its headquarters at New Delhi. The Council is the apex body for co-ordinating, guiding and managing research and education in agriculture including horticulture, fisheries and animal sciences in the entire country. With 101 ICAR institutes and 71 agricultural universities spread across the country this is one of the largest national agricultural systems in the world. The ICAR has played a pioneering role in ushering Green Revolution and subsequent developments in agriculture in India through its research and technology development that has enabled the country to increase the production of foodgrains by 5.4 times, horticultural crops by 10.1 times, fish by 15.2 times, milk 9.7 times and eggs 48.1 times since 1951 to 2017, thus making a visible impact on the national food and nutritional security. It has played a major role in promoting excellence in higher education in agriculture. It is engaged in cutting edge areas of science and technology development and its scientists are internationally acknowledged in their fields.
Paddy soon after harvesting, duetoits importance as basic food, the largest area under cultivation and the
prevailing agro economic conditions of farmers, constitutes a wide length and partners in its supply chain.
Once paddy is hulled in mills it gives the main product rice, cut rice and by products husk and rice bran.
This paper attempts to find out through empirical research, the practices, end products and estimates of
value creation, value realization and value loss to the stakeholders across its extended value chainof paddy
in the state of Karnataka.
With the existing estimates for legitimate variables of the analysis, it is found that supply chain of paddy is
a very complex processdominatedbynetwork of intermediaries called “mill owners and stockists” who
make an investment worth not less than Rs.8000 Crores.(where $13.3 bn should be $1.33 bn) every year
during harvesting through stocking, milling and packing and create a value above 45% of their investment
in the value chain. In the process it is observed that farmer is the only stakeholder who is paid least and
supply chain management of paddy suffers from huge losses to the government as more than 65% farmers
sell paddy to the local agents of “mill owners and stockists”. Taking stock of the issues and opportunities,
a conceptual model is suggested using e-governance and Public Private Partnership(PPP) in managing the
supply chain of paddy which ensures fool proof mechanism not only to control prevailing losses but also
arrives at a unique wealth creation opportunity, which can redefine the face of agricultural developments
in the state.

In most developing countries like India, livestock ownership is more equitable than landholding size, 80 percent of livestock population are owned by landless, marginal and small landholders, providing about 40 percent of their annual income. However, with increasing the cost of commercial feed, unavailability of land for growing green fodder and stagnating milk prices farmers in Odisha have few incentives to intensify the livestock production. Nevertheless, opportunities have been identified which enable farmers to make more efficient use of their existing resources leading to considerable productivity increases. The study presents the experimental results on the impact of straw chopping in combination with feeding mineral mixture on livestock productivity.

Need and scope:
· The per capita availability of pulses as a source of protein has been reduced
significantly from 60 gm day-1
to 32.6 gm day-1
in India. To meet the domestic
demand the country imports 1.5 Million tons of pulses every year
· Among pulses, chickpea offers an enormous potential for cultivation as a
second crop on residual soil moisture left after rice in RRFL .
