The document summarizes the progress and achievements of the SRI-T program between 2006-2012. It aimed to promote the System of Rice Intensification (SRI) among small and marginal farmers, especially in rainfed areas. Over the years, the program expanded to cover 11 states and 94 districts, working with 127 partner organizations and reaching over 1 million farmers cultivating 38,206 acres of land using SRI methods. On average, SRI methods increased rice yields by 0.35 acres compared to conventional methods, providing food security for farmers.
