1. Sustainable Management
for Paddy Crop Residue
Act,2022
This policy is made by suggestion of Dr. Rajesh Kundu
Dept. of Public Administration
MD University Rohtak

2. Description of Policy
Time period : 2022-2025
Sustainable Management for Paddy Crop Residue Act,2022
Area to be Coverd mainly – Punjab, Haryana, Delhi,
West UP.

3. Introduction:
1. Burning crop residue causes phenomenal pollution problems in the atmosphere
and huge nutritional loss and physical health deterioration to the soil.
2. The burning of one tonne of paddy straw, releases 3 kg particulate matter, 60 kg
CO, 150 kg CO2, 200 kg ash and 2 kg SO2. These gases affect human health due
to general degradation in air quality resulting in aggravation of eye and skin
diseases. Fine particles can also aggravate chronic heart and lung diseases.
3. Apart from loss of nutrients, some of the soil properties like soil temperature, pH,
moisture, phosphorus and soil nutritious are greatly affected due to burning.
4. The scheme will be implemented in the states of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh
and NCT of Delhi

4. Area of Operation & Identification of Beneficiary:
(i) will include all villages having problems of crop residue burning.
(ii) The following parameters may be chosen for selection of beneficiary -
(a) Small & marginal operational Holdings
(b) Farmers not having machinery and equipment for crop residue management.
(c) Farmers not already availed any subsidy during the last 2 years under any of the schemes of
DAC&FW for the machinery and equipment identified for crop residue management.

5. Vision of Policy
 Reduce Air Polution
 Substantiable cities and communities
 Good Health and well being
 Prevention of Hazard
 International Geopolitics - The struggle over the control
of geographical entities with an international and global
dimension

6. Objectives
 Control of burning of crop residue to prevent environmental degradation
and loss of soil nutrients and minerals by promotion of in-situ management
 Diversified use of crop residue for various purposes like charcoal gasification,
power generation, as industrial raw material for production of bio-ethanol,
packing material, paper/board/panel industry, composting and mushroom
cultivation etc.;
 Capacity building and awareness about ill effects of crop residue burning and its
effective utilization and management; and
 Formulation and implementation of suitable law and legislative/policy measures
to curb burning of crop residue.

7. Strategies of Policy
To achieve the above objectives, the scheme will adopt the following strategies:
a) Provide financial assistance to farmers for procurement of crop residue management machinery
and equipments.
b) Provide financial assistance to the Co-operative Societies of farmers, Panchayats, Registered
Farmers Societies.
c) Provide financial assistance to promote use of crop residue management machinery among
farmers by way of on-field and off-field training and demonstrations.
d) Provide financial assistance to the State Governments, KVKs, ICAR institutions, Central
Government institutions, PSUs etc. for the activities to be undertaken towards Information,
Education and Communication (IEC).

8. Policy Structure
1. High Level Monitoring Committee:
For effective, planning, implementation and monitoring, the scheme will have a High Level
Monitoring Committee (HLMC) with following composition:

9. 2. Executive Committee: The Executive Committee (EC) will comprise of the following
members:

10. ● Technological interventions:
a) Use of crop residue for cultivation of mushroom particularly Agaricus bisporus (white button mushroom) and
Volvriella Volvacea (straw mushroom);
b) Incentivize purchase of happy seeder/ turbo seeder / shredder/ baling machines and zero- seed-cum-
fertilizer drill to facilitate
Interventions to curb crop residue burning

11. ● Diversified uses of crop residue:
a) Promotion of various interventions under ongoing schemes/programmes for diversified use of crop
residue as fuel for power plants, production of cellulosic ethanol, etc.
b) Promotion and encouragement of use of crop residue/rice straw in paper/board/panel and packing
material;
c) Promotion of collection of crop residue for feed, brick making, etc. and extending subsidy for transport
of crop residue to fodder deficient areas.
Interventions to curb crop residue burning

12. Budget of Policy

13. Expected Outcome:
(a) By incorporation of 1 million tonnes of crop residues into soil, it is estimated that about
0.13 million tonnes of carbon may be improved per year and save about 4.7×103 tonne of
N (equivalent to Rs. 6.71 crores) annually.
(b) From residue incorporation, farmers’ can save about 1600 kg C, 20- 30kg N, 4-7 kg P, 60-
100 kg K, 4-6 kg S in addition to micronutrients, which is equivalent to Rs. 1500-
2000/ha for plant nutrients.
(c) If farmers wish to remove stubble manually, they will need at least Rs 6,000-7,000 per
acre. To reduce these costs, as well as save labour and time, the Government 24,000
tractor-mounted ‘happy seeders’ to cut down the rice stubble and sow wheat seeds
simultaneously. To use a ‘happy seeder’ over one acre, farmers have to spend Rs 1,000 for
rent plus about Rs 2,000 on diesel.

14. Rules/Guidelines
1. Identification of who Violating the set standards.
2. Use social networking platforms such as text messages, WhatsApp, Facebook, and
others to share the details of the CHCs at the block level to increase their reach beyond
their immediate social networks.
3. Awareness On Ground Level
4. Instead of burning the stubble, Promotion of cattle feed, compost manure (Khad),
roofing in rural areas, biomass energy, mushroom cultivation, packing materials, fuel,
paper, bio-ethanol and industrial production, etc.
