AGRICULTURE AND ALLIED SECTORS

Traditionally, Bihar's Economy is dominated by the agricultural sector. Around 90 percent of the population still live in rural areas where agriculture, along with animal-husbandry, has been the mainstay of their livelihood. This has become even more true with the bifurcation of the state which took place in November, 2000. Bifurcation took away the mineral rich part from Bihar and the state was left with its fertile land and abundant water resources. Agriculture, therefore, is sure to play the most important role for the development of the state.
Bihar is endowed with fertile Gangetic alluvial soil with abundant water resources, particularly ground water resources. With different soil categories associated with different agro-climatic zones, the farmers in the state grow a variety of crops. Besides cereals, the state produces, pulses, oilseeds, fibre crops, sugarcane, fruits, vegetables and other minor food crops. Recently there has been diversification in the production of crops, including the introduction of floriculture in many districts of the state, catering to the rising demand. During the recent years, the economy has shown a turnaround, throwing new issues and enhancing people's aspirations. But, despite this progress, rural Bihar is far from benefiting fully from the opportunities generated by rapid growth. The state government is trying utmost to bridge the rural–urban divide by promoting higher agricultural growth. The support mechanisms for enhancement of agricultural development are being further strengthened, to ensure that growth of Bihar economy remains sustainable in the years ahead. Recently, the Chief Minister is undertaking the 'Seva Yatra' to take stock of implementation of agricultural and other programmes at the grassroot level. Support services like irrigation, seed, fertilisers, farm mechanization, credit flows, and awareness programmes are being stressed to make agriculture more viable. The state government is exploring ways so that rural areas (all sections and communities within them) can participate fully in the growth process for a more prosperous Bihar.
Bihar has a geographical area of 93.6 lakh hectares with three important agro-climatic zones — North-West, North-East and South. The North-West zone has 13 districts. The zone receives an annual rainfall of 1040-1450 mms. The soil is mostly loam and sandy loam. The North–East Zone has 8 districts. This zone receives rainfall ranging from 1200-1700 mms. The soil here is loam and clay loam. Finally, the South-Zone having 17 districts receives an average rainfall of 990-1300 mms and the soil consist sandy loam, loam, clay and clay loam.

The details of agriculture and allied sectors are presented in this chapter under the major heads of – Rainfall, Land utilization, Production and Productivity, Irrigation, Agricultural input (seed, fertilizer, agricultural equipment and extension services), Agricultural credit and Animal husbandry.
2.1 Rainfall
The average rainfall in Bihar is 1052.60 mms. The rainfall in Bihar is largely due to South-west monsoon which accounts for around 85 percent of total rainfall in the state. The other sources, viz, winter rain, hot weather rain and north-west monsoon account for remaining 15 percent. The average normal rainfall in the state is more or less adequate for all its agricultural operations. However, it is the year-to-year changes which lead to drought or flood. This causes extensive damage to crop production and the overall income of the state. This is because of the fact that almost half of the cultivated area is unirrigated and is left to the mercy of the rain god.
During the period 2000 to 2010, the annual rainfall has varied between 677.85 cm in 2010 (64.4 percent of the average) to 1506.08 in 2007 (143.1 percent of the average). In 2010, the rainfall from the south-west monsoon, the main contributor, was 584.40 mms (64.9 percent of average rainfall from south-west monsoon). So the total rainfall in 2010 was much below the average. Similarly, in 2009, the rainfall from south-west monsoon was again less than the normal which led to draught like situation in many districts of Bihar. In contrast, in 2007, the rainfall from the south-west monsoon was 51.1 percent more than the average. The rainfall pattern in Bihar would be clear from Table 2.1.

The rainfall pattern in various districts of Bihar can be seen from Table A 2.1 (Appendix). To have a comparative view of the extent of rainfall and variation therein, total rainfall of the district could be compared with Bihar's average for that particular year. In 2010, only 6 out of the 38 districts reported rainfall figures which exceeded the average for Bihar. Those districts were Siwan, West Champaran, Madhubani, Purnea, Kishanganj and Araria. The districts which were highly deficient were Khagaria, Gaya, Saharsa and Darbhanga. Other districts experienced moderate to average rainfall.
2.2 Land Use Pattern
Bihar falls in the riverine plane of the Ganga basin area. Because of the topographical nature, the proportion of total land put to agricultural use here is high as compared to other states of India. Table 2.2 presents the land use pattern of the state from 2006-07 to 2008-09. A glance at the data would reveal that the pattern has remained nearly unaltered.

The area under forests has remained unchanged at 6.6 percent and so has the area under non-agricultural at 17.6 percent. The area under net sown area has shown a marginal decline. In 2006-
36
07, net sown area which was 60.5 percent came down to 59.4 percent in 2008-09. However, the cropping intensity has shown a marginal increase from 1.36 in 2006-07 to 1.38 in 2008-09.
The land use pattern in different districts in Bihar for the latest year 2008-09 is presented in Table A 2.2 (Appendix). In the table, the figures in the parentheses denote percentage of each category to total geographical area of the district. A glance at the table would indicate that the pattern of land use exhibit substantial variation across district. This is due to the fact that different district belong to different agro-climate zones. If one takes into account the net sown area, it is found that there exist 7 districts where more than 70 percent of the area are under cultivation, compared to about 60 percent for the entire state. These districts are Nalanda (77.0 percent) Bhojpur (79.3 percent), Buxar (77.4 percent), Siwan (74.4 percent), Sheikhpura (72.6 percent), Gopalganj (72.6 percent) and East Champaran (70.6 percent). On the other hand, there are 5 districts which have less than 50 percent of net sown area, viz., Banka (42.3 percent), Jamui (16.9 percent), Munger (37.1 percent), Gaya (34.5 percent) and Nawada (42.1 percent). In the districts where irrigation facilities are at a minimal, the cropping intensity remained low despite effort by the farmers to increase it. The cropping intensity is the lowest at 1.16 in Jamui and Patna.
2.3 Production and Productivity
The fertility of soil and the endowment of abundant ground water resources enable the farmers of Bihar to produce a variety of crops, both food and non-food. Apart from cereals and pulses, farmers in Bihar also produce oilseeds, fibre, fruits and vegetables. Of late, the farmers have taken to floriculture, in view of growing demand of flowers both from within and outside the state.
In Table of A 2.3 (Appendix), are presented the area and production of 34 most important crops of Bihar for the period of 2007-08 to 2009-10. First two columns of the table represent the average of area and production for the triennium 2000-03. The use of triennium average would even out the variations during the three years and present a stable data regarding area and production of various crops. In 2009-10, Bihar produced 35.99 lakh tonnes of rice, 45.71 lakh tonnes of wheat, 14.78 lakh tonnes of maize, 1.43 lakh tonnes of oilseeds and 50.32 lakh tonnes of sugarcane. If one compares it with the triennium average ending 2002-03, acreage under rice fell from 35.97 lakh hectares to 32.14 lakh hectares in 2009-10, whereas its production decreased from 52.44 lakh tonnes to 36 lakh tonnes due to severe drought in about 28 districts of Bihar. The area under wheat increased from 21.08 lakh hectares in the triennium 2000-03 to 21.93 lakh hectares in 2009-10 and its production of increased to 45.71 lakh tonnes in 2009-10 from an average level of 42.90 lakh
37
tonnes in the triennium 2000-03. This also indicates a higher increase in yield rate of wheat over the years. The level of production in maize in 2009-10 was 14.79 lakh tonnes as compared to average production of 14.26 lakh tonnes in the triennium 2000-03. In case of maize, one again observed a steady positive trend in production. The production of pulses showed a decline from 5.75 lakh tonnes in 2000-03 to 4.72 lakh tonnes in 2009-10, with a corresponding fall in acreage from 7.02 lakh hectares in 2000-03 to 5.65 lakh hectares in 2009-10.
As per figures in Table A 2.3 (Appendix) the total foodgrains production was 126.70 lakh tonnes in 2008-09. But because of a fall in rice production in 2009-10, the figure of total foodgrains production came down to 101.51 lakh tonnes in that year. In Table 2.3, historical trend figures of production of major crops in Bihar has been presented.

If one looks into the data of Table 2.3, it is noticed that the trend of rice production over the years has not been consistent. There exists much variation in the production of rice over the years. This is due to fact that around 50 percent of net sown area are bereft of irrigation and dependant on rain. The average production figures are around 50 lakh tonnes each year. On the other hand, wheat and maize show a growing trend. The average annual wheat production level was 40-45 lakh tonnes between 2000-01 to 2009-10. The annual growth rate of wheat production for these years turns out to be 1.1 percent. Similar is the case with maize. The average annual production level between 200-01 to 2009-10 is around 15 lakh tonnes. The annual growth rate for production
38
of maize for the reference period comes out to be 1.9 percent. The pulses show a declining rate of growth. The oilseeds during 2000-01 to 2009-10 grew at the rate of 1.8 percent, whereas fibers grew at the rate of 0.8 percent during the same period.
Cropping Pattern
In Table 2.4, the cropping pattern of various crops have been shown. The data would reveal that the agricultural economy is still very much oriented towards subsistence production, as the area under foodgrains production is as high as 94 percent. Within the foodgrains, the percentage share of cereals in the total area (86 per cent) has shown a marginal increase at the cost of area under pulses. The oilseeds, fibres and sugarcane account for only 5 percent of the total cropped area and their individual shares in the total cropped area show only marginal changes. The average cropping area under sugarcane has increased marginally at the cost of oilseeds and fibres. For fibre crops (jute and mesta), the cropping area diminished from 2.1 percent in 2001-02 to 1.9 percent in 2009-10.

The productivity levels of various crops in Bihar are presented in Table 2.5. From the table, one can observe the comparative productivity levels using two triennium averages of productivity, one being the triennium 2000-03, the other 2007-10. The last column of the table presents the percentage change between the two trienniums. The average productivity for the triennium 2007-10 of three important cereals are — 1353 kgs/hectare for rice, 2208 kgs/ha for wheat, and 2629 kgs/ha for maize. For rice, there is a 7 percent decline in productivity between 2000-03 and 2007-10. For wheat, the productivity rose by 8 percent over the two trienniums and for maize, the rise in productivity is even higher at 10 per cent.

Of the two pulses groups, kharif pulses show an average productivity of 1061 kgs/hectares for the triennium 2007-10 and, for rabi pulses the average productivity level is 826 kg/ha for the same
40
years. The percentage increase in productivity for kharif pulses is 18 percent over the two trienniums, whereas for rabi pulses, the increase in productivity is 3 percent.
In conclusion, it is to be noted that maize is one crop which has registered a positive growth trend in the long term. Maize registered an upward trend in production from 14.25 lakh tonnes in the triennium 2000-03 to 45.78 lakh tonnes in 2007-10. The productivity of maize also increased over the period. In the oilseed sector, the production level rose marginally from 1.20 lakh tonnes in the triennium 2000-03 to 1.39 lakh tonnes in 2007-10. The production level of pulses showed a decline over the reference period.
Area, Production and Productivity of Rice
In Bihar, agro-climatic conditions vary from one region to another. Because of this, the cropping pattern would tend to vary over the regions. In the following sections, an analysis is attempted for districtwise production and productivity level of three major crops of Bihar, viz., rice, wheat and maize over the last ten years. Table A 2.4 (Appendix) presents the districtwise area, production and productivity of rice in Bihar for two years, 2008-09 and 2009-10. The share of each district in area, production are given in the brackets. In the productivity column, the rank of each district has been presented alongside the productivity figure.
If one looks at the districtwise shares in the area under rice for 2009-10, it is found that the top rice producing district are — East Champaran (6.7 percent), Rohtas (5.9 percent), Madhubani (5.7 percent), West Champaran (4.6 percent), Muzaffarpur (4.1 percent) and Araria (4.3 percent). In terms of area, the lowest ranking districts are Sheohar (0.4 percent) Jamui (0.4 percent) Sheikhpura (0.4 percent) and Khagaria (0.6 percent).
If one considers districtwise shares in production in 2009-10, the highest rankings district would be Rohtas (12.4 percent), Madhubani (7.7 percent), Banka (5.7 percent) and West Champaran (5.2 percent). In terms of production, the lowest ranking districts are Khagaria (0.2 percent), Sheohar (0.4 percent) and Sheikhpura (0.4 percent). According the productivity rankings in 2009-10, the top districts are Rohtas, Banka, Madhubani, Katihar and Jamui. In 2009-10, the highest level of productivity was 2381 kgs / ha in Rohtas.
Area, Production and Productivity of Wheat
For analysing the production trend in wheat, the same methodology has been followed as in the case of rice. The districtwise share of area and production of wheat for 2008-09 and 2009-10 are
41
presented in Table A 2.5 (Appendix). The productivity of wheat across districts have also been presented, along with the rankings of districts in terms of productivity.

In terms of production, the bottom districts are — Jamui (0.4 percent), Arwal (0.5 percnet), Sheohar (0.6 percent) and Munger (0.8 percent), Acording to productivity rankings in 2009-10, the top 5 districts are — Khagaria, Bhojpur, Siwan, Samastipur and Sheohar. The highest productivity level in 2009-10 was achived by Khagaria (3345 kgs/ha).
Area Production and Productivity of Maize
The shares of various districts of Bihar in the area and production of maize in 2008-09 and 2009-10 are presented in Table A 2.6 (Appendix). In the productivity column, the ranking have been shown for each of the districts in the brackets. Considering districtwise shares in area in 2009-10, the top maize producing districts are — Begusarai (9.5 percent), Khagaria (9.3 percent), Samastipur (8.3 percent), Katihar (7.3 percent) and Madhepura (7.0 percent). Areawise, the bottom districts are — Rohtas (0.0 percent) Sheikhpura (0.0 percent). Madhubani (0.2 percent) and Arwal (0.2 percent)
In case of production shares of different districts, the top districts are — Khagaria (11.9 percent), Katihar (8.4 percent), Saharsa (8.1 percent) and Madhepura (7.8 percent). The districts with high productivity levels are — Saharsa, Supaul, Sheohar, Darbhanga and Khagaria. The highest productivity level registered by Saharsa was 3162 kgs/ha.
Productivity of Pulses
The area, production and productivity of pulses have been presented districtwise for the year 2008-09 and 2009-10 in Table A 2.7 (Appendix). Considering the relative shares of the districts in the total area under production in 2009-10 for pulses, the top districts are — Patna (9.2 percent), Aurangabad (7.1 percent), Nalanda (4.9 percent), Bhojpur (4.7 percent) and Muzaffarpur (4.5
42
percent). It one takes into account the shares in production of each districts in total production in 2009-10, the leading districts are — Patna (11.8 percent), Bhojpur (8.6 percent) Aurangabad (6.1 percent), Nalanda (6.0 percent) and West Champaran (3.9 percent). The districts with low production shares are — Sheohar (0.2 percent), Gopalganj (0.5 percent) and Saran (0.6 percent). In terms of productivity, the leading districts are — Bhojpur, Sheikhpura, Jamui and Gaya. The highest productivity level in 2009-10 of 1543 kgs/ha was achieved by Bhojpur.
On the basis of discussions above, Table 2.6 has been prepared to indicate the achievement of different districts in terms of production and productivity of four different crops, viz, rice, wheat, maize and pulses.

Production and Productivity of Vegetables and Fruit
Apart from major cereals and pulses, Bihar also produces a variety of vegetables and fruits. In terms of vegetable production, the state is proud to be holding the topmost position in the country in recent times. Taking into account the figures for 2009-10, the important vegetable crops include potato (57.84 lakh tonnes), onion (10.82 lakh tonnes), tomatos (10.56 lakh tonnes), cauliflower (11.18 lakh tonnes) and brinjal (12.16 lakh tonnes). It can be noted that Hajipur in Vaishali is famous for early variety of cauliflower which reaches the market in the last week of September itself. In 2009-10, the total area under vegetable production was 8.45 lakh hectares which is about 11.02 percent of the gross sown area. The area, production and productivity of vegetables and fruits in Bihar for 2008-09 and 2009-10 have been presented in the Table 2.7

It can be noted that area under vegetable production is showing an upward trend. The area under vegetable which was 8.24 lakh hectares in 2006-07 rose to 8.45 lakh hectares in 2009-10.
44
Alongside production, the cropwise productivity is also increasing. The productivity of potato increased from 17,180 kgs/hect in 2008-09 to 18,410 kgs/hect in 2009-10. The productivity of onion which was 19,270 kgs/hect in 2008-09 went upto 20,317 kgs / ha in 2009-10 and, for cauliflower, the rise was from 17,360 kgs /ha to 17,861 kgs/ha in 2009-10.
Thus, with recent efforts on the part of the state government to develop road and marketing infrastructure, the vegetable producers gained much in Bihar. During 2010-11, the Bihar State Women Development Corporation has started retail vending of packaged vegetables throughout the state. This would enable the farmers to obtain good procurement price, offered by the Corporation. Simultaneously, the programme would also create job opportunities for retail vendors throughout the state.
Districtwise area and production of four major vegetables, viz, potato, onion, cauliflower and brinjal along with total vegetables have been presented in Table A 2.8 (Appendix), for the years 2009-10 and 2010-11. A glance at the table will show that production of vegetables is well dispersed over the districts with a concentration of production in some particular districts. Apart from Patna and Nalanda where vegetable production is quite extensive, the other districts with high production shares in total vegetables production in 2010-11 are Vaishali (5.3 percent), Muzaffarpur (4.9 percent), West Champaran (4.2 percent), East Champaran (3.8 percent), Katihar (3.6 percent) and Begusarai (3.3 percent).
Diverse agro-climatic conditions translate into diverse crops suited to different agro-economic conditions. Apart from major foodgrains and vegetables, the third component of agricultural production in Bihar comprises fruits. Fruits are generally cash crops, hence fetch high financial gains to the farmers. Mango, guava, litchi and banana are the major fruit crops of Bihar. Bihar's litchi and mango reach almost all the markets in north and eastern India. Litchi of Muzaffarpur has become a proud brand name throughout the country. In litchi seasons, juice packers from Mumbai are seen doing their agro-processing in Muzaffarpur and Vaishali districts. 'Chinia Kela' of Hajipur is a famous variety of banana which is known for its taste. From Table 2.7, one can have an idea about the acreage and production of important fruit crops in 2008-09 and 2009-10. In 2009-10, the total area under fruit crops was 2.96 lakh hectares which is 5.33 percent of the net cultivated area. In that year, the production level of major fruits were mango (13.35 lakh tonnes), guava (2.35 lakh tonnes), litchi (2.27 lakh tonnes) and banana (65.17 lakh tonnes). A rise in productivity is also recorded for those fruit crops. The productivity of mango increased from 6820 kgs/ha in 2008-09 to 9080 kgs/ha in 2009-10; the productivity of litchi grew from 7030 kgs/ha in 2008-09 to 7307
45
kgs/ha in 2009-10, and the productivity of banana also showed an increase from 45,630 kgs/ha to 47,576 kgs/ha in 2009-10.
The districtwise analysis of area and production of fruit crops reveals substantial spread of fruit production across the districts of Bihar. In Table A 2.9 (Appendix), the data presents the area and production of major fruit crops in different districts for the year 2009-10 and 2010-11. The percentage shares of different districts in area and production have been given, along with the total figure for each district. From the figures on the share in area/production, one can find out the concentration of a particular fruit in some districts. Considering the production data for the year 2010-11, one finds that, for mango, the districts with extensive cultivation are — Darbhanga (8.8 percent), Samastipur (7.4 percent), Muzaffarpur (6.8 percent), East Champaran (6.4 percent), Vaishali (5.8 percent) and West Champaran (5.2 percent). It, therefore, emerges that the old Tirhut division is particularly suitable for mango production.
An analysis of districtwise shares in production of guava in 2010-11 would suggest that Rohtas (10.4 percent), Bhojpur (6.6 percent), West Chamapran (5.7 percent), East Champaran (5.5 percent), Nalanda (4.9 percent), Muzaffarpur (4.9 percent), Vaishali (4.6 percent) and Kaimur (4.5 percent) are the major producers. In other words, the guava production is mainly concentrated in the south-west and north-west regions of the state.
For litchi, considering the shares of each district in the total production, one finds that Muzaffarpur with a share of 23.4 percent dominates the scene. Other important districts with their percentage shares are Sitamarhi (7.1 percent), West Champaran (6.8 percent), East Champaran (5.9 percent), Vaishali (4.8 percent) and Samastipur (4.2 percent). Thus, old Muzaffarpur district and part of Tirhut division dominate the litchi production. For banana, in 2010-11, Muzaffarpur with 15.8 percentage share in production and Vaishali with 10.2 percentage share stand out as major producers. Other main producers are Samastipur which has got a share of 6.7 percent and Darbhanga with a share of 5.4 percent.
Area and Production of Flowers
The farmers of Bihar are also taking interest in floriculture in recent years. The commercial production of flowers is taking place in the state in view of its rising demand. The important flower crops of the state are rose, gladiolus, jasmine (bela), marigold and tuberose. In Table A2.10 (Appendix), the area and production levels of flower crops are given districtwise for 2009-10 and 2010-11. The share of each district in total area and production have also been provided in the
46
brackets alongside area/production figures. The percentage share of each district in area and production will indicate the importance of the district in terms of flower production.
In 2010-11, the production levels of important flower crops were – rose (86.52 tonnes), marigold (5120 tonnes), Jasmine (307.46 tonnes) and tuberose (522 tonnes). Considering the share in area and production of various flowers in 2010-11, one finds that Patna, Muzaffarpur, Vaishali, Samastipur and Gaya are major flower producing districts in the state.
2.4 Irrigation
One of the foremost input requirement of agriculture is the timely availability of water. The optimum use of water resources, which is fortunately abundant in Bihar, is the only key to increasing the crop productivity in Bihar. Newer and modern irrigation techniques have got to be nurtured to increase agricultural efficiency to boost farm production. The present state government has been taking several initiatives to enhance the total irrigated area in the state. Between 2000-01 to 2008-09, the total irrigated area in Bihar has increased from 44.6 lakh hectares to 49.20 hectares. This is only a 10 percent increase in total irrigated area over a period of 8 long years. So there is still a large potential for exploration of ground water resources through extensive use of pump sets. Since there is a recurring problem of power shortage in the state, the pump sets depend largely on the use of diesel. Since it is much costlier, the cost effectiveness of agriculture operations get reduced. The following major initiatives in water resource development in the Eleventh plan was undertaken to enhance irrigation facilities in the state.
1. The state government is trying to evolve a new mix of irrigation techniques. The mix comprises pump sets, and normal and other micro-irrigation sources.
2. The ground water resources in the state have remained largely underutilized. To tap the high potential existing in the ground water front for irrigation purposes, a new programme of Bihar Groundwater Irrigation Scheme (BIGWIS) has been introduced.
3. Under water-shed development programme, initiatives are being undertaken to improve water generating ponds and other devices of ground water regeneration to develop and utilize water utilization capacity in the state.
4. Bihar Shatabti Niji Nalkoop Yojana has been piloted in Samastipur and Nalanda districts. The subsidy is administered in a unique way where field functionaries of Department of Agriculture assure sinking of tubewells and, upon completion of work, the subsidy is
47
disbursed instantly in the village itself. This is proving a major success as the shackles of bank financing has been removed from the scheme.
5. There is a scheme of plantation of 5 lakh trees in 8 districts of Bihar under agro-forestry schemes which will potentially develop water utilization capacity.
6. For pulses, oil seeds and maize, Isopam plan is being carried out. For this, sprinkler sets and improved pipes are being distributed.
7. During the Tenth Five Year plan, outlay for the irrigation sector was only Rs. 3273.19 crore. But in the Eleventh plan, there was around 3 fold increase in the outlay for irrigation sector. The figure went upto Rs. 8594.81 crore.
2.5 Agricultural Inputs
Besides irrigation, scientific agricultural operation for higher productivity requires adequate and quality inputs particularly seeds, fertilizer, farm equipments and extension services.
Seeds
One of the major requirement of any agricultural operation is seed. Seeds of high quality can go a long way in improving the productivity of crops. The application of HYV seeds and the Seed Replacement Rate (SRR) are important determinants of productivity in agriculture. Since there exists dearth of firms for the supply of certified seeds, the seed replacement ratio (SRR) is often low in Bihar. The road map of agricultural development drawn by the Department of Agriculture puts special emphasis on the use of certified seeds.
The major initiatives like Chief Ministers' Crash Seed Programme, 'seed village' programme (Beej Gram Yojana), provision of subsidy for the use of 'certified seed' by farmers, revival of hitherto dormant Bihar Rajya Beej Nigam (BRBN), strengthening of Bihar seed certification agency, multiplication of seeds by state farms have together immensely helped to raise agricultural productivity in Bihar. Recently, the technique of hybrid paddy cultivation has been disseminated under a new scheme of 'Mukhyamantri Tivra Beej Vistar Karyakram'. This has benefitted the farmers in the paddy zone. The SRR for major crops like rice, wheat and maize have increased manifold in the state during the last 5 years. More importantly, the SRR has touched the scientific recommendation of 33 percent for self-pollinated crops. Table 2.8 reveals that the SRR has almost reached 33 percent in 2010-11 for major crops. With efforts mentioned earlier, there has been a gradual increase in SRR for both kharif and rabi crops.

Among kharif crops, it can be seen that SRR has increased from 26.4 percent in 2009-10 to 37.9 percent in 2011-12 for paddy. An increase in SRR can also be seen for maize, arhar and urad. Unfortunately, for moong, the SRR has become stagnant at 19-20 percent. For rabi crops, SRR has increased from 25.3 percent in 2009-10 to 29.21 in 2010-11 for wheat. In earlier years, the SRR was around 15 percent in 2007-08 (wheat). For rabi crops, achievements have exceeded targets by 2011-12. This is due to the implementation of Mukhyamantri Crash Seed Programme, 'Beej Gram Yojana' and other seed related schemes of the state government. Substantial progress in SRR reflect the state government's untiring efforts in encouraging farmers to use certified seeds for different crops. Substitution of local and old varieties of seed with the recently evolved varieties will have long time impact on productivity of crops in the state.
Fertiliser
Alongside the use of improved seeds in agricultural operations, fertilizer in proper quantity is also very important for enhancement of agricultural productivity. The consumption of fertilizer is steadily increasing in the recent years (Table 2.9). The total consumption of fertilizer which was 32.25 lakh tonnes in 2006-07 has increased to 39.08 lakh tonnes in 2009-10, registering an increase of 21.1 percent over three years. In 2010-11, the consumption rose to 40.36 lakh tonnes,
49
again a 3.2 percent increase over 2009-10. This rising trend emphasises that the farmers are willing to adopt new technology in agriculture. The per hectare consumption went upto 183.4 kgs/hectares in 2010-11 from a level of 181.1 kgs/hectare in 2009-10.

From Table 2.9, one can also observe a trend towards a balanced use of fertilizer in last two years. The NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium) ratio for the last four years has been 11:2:1 (2007-08), 6:2:1 (2008-09), 5:1:1 (2009-10) and 7:2:1 (2010-11). It shows an effort on the part of the farmers to rationalise the use of fertilizer so that the bias towards the use of nitrogenous fertilizer is reduced. In the last 3-4 years, the use of phosphatic and potassic fertilizer has shown higher increase, compared to the growth in the use of nitrogenous fertilizers. It is to be noted that the wider availability of soil test services at local points and massive contact programme associated with extension services has led to the awareness of balanced use of chemical fertilizer. From Table 2.9, it is evident that urea takes the prime place and constitute 50 percent of total consumption of chemical fertilizers. It is also noteworthy that though kharif accounts for the most important crop of Bihar, the use of chemical fertilizer is comparatively higher for rabi crops. In 2009-10, while the farmers used 180.8 kgs/hectare for kharif crops, they used 181.3 kgs/hectare for rabi crops. In 2010-11, the difference became more pronounced, as the consumption level for kharif crops was 177.8 kgs/ha as compared to 187.4 kgs/hectare for rabi crops.
50
Besides NPK, the state government has made conscious efforts to promote use of micronutrients which can enhance the productivity level of different crops at much greater pace. Besides providing subsidy which are available for centrally sponsored schemes, the state government is also providing additional subsidy for the use of micro-nutrients from its own resources. This has evoked positive response from the farmers and would have a long term impact on the sustainability of soil fertility for crop production.
Extension Services
With induction of subject matter specialist at sub-block level and 'Kisan Salahakar' at the Panchayat level, the outreach of hitherto dormant extension services have tremendously increased in recent years. The extension service in the state, prior to the beginning of the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-2012), had reached a very low level. These extension services are important in the sense that it can act as a catalyst for seed management at the field level, optimum use and dose of chemical fertilizer to be applied to various soil category, adaptability to newer cropping pattern and mix of new HYV seeds. The state government has taken several initiative in recent years to make farming more economically productive and rewarding to farmers. It has taken pains to transfer knowledge of agricultural institutions to farmer's doorstep so that they can optimally use those knowledges.
A massive training programme of farmers through 'Kisan Pathshala' has gained prominence in recent years. A series of 'Kisan Vikash Shibir', a programme for interaction between agricultural scientists and farmers is providing a platform for technology transfer. The camps are organised at each Panchayat all over the state. Kharif and Rabi Mahotsavs are being organised at block level before onset of the crop season. Udyan Mahotsav was organised in the month of August, 2011. Further, 'Kisan Melas' are organised every month at the district level. This is attracting a large number of farmers and public representatives towards agricultural development schemes. The major innovations involve distribution of all inputs and provision of subsidy in these camps. The farmers may purchase inputs like seed, biofertiliser or farm implements of their choice. This has assured timeliness of supply of inputs to the farmers. One of the major initiatives in extension services is to arrange for Minikit demonstrations at the Panchayat or village level. The Minikit Programme covers a number of crops grown in kharif, rabi and garma seasons. The progress of the scheme is shown in Table 2.10.

For kharif, Minikit Programmess are mainly for paddy, maize, arhar, urad, moong, castor and sesamum. The number of demonstrations, as can be seen from the table, has shown an increase over the years. For example, the number of demonstration for paddy which was 35,880 in 2008-09 increased to 41,682 in 2011-12. For maize, the number of demonstrations rose from 7,000 in 2007-08 to a level of 10,000 in 2008-09; in 2011-12, the number of demonstrations increased further to 15,000.
For rabi crops, demonstrations are made for wheat, maize and pulses (masoor, pea, gram) and rai/tori, rajmah. Like kharif, the number of demonstrations for rabi crops also showed an increase. For wheat, the number of demonstrations has risen to 4,31,200 in 2008-09 from a level of 26,513 in 2006-07. Garma season coverage includes five crops — maize, urad, moong, sesamum and safflower. For these crops also, the number of demonstrations has shown an increase.
Farm Mechanization
Productivity in agriculture and the consequent rate of return of agricultural operations are influenced by labour use and capital intensity in the field operations. The optimum level of mechanisation, without major displacement of family labour, in farm activity helps in the timely completion of farming operation. There is, therefore, a high degree of productivity enhancement through proper farm mechanisation. Through mechanisation, drudgery associated with traditional farming operations also get lessened. It reduces per hectare cost of cultivation and promotes quality of agricultural production. Under the agricultural 'Road Map' of the present state government, farm mechanization stands apart as a major thrust programme, as a part of modernization of agriculture in Bihar.
The state government provides subsidy to farmers over and above the subsidy admissible under the centrally sponsored scheme. Harvesters, threshers, spraying modules, winnowing machines are very common in rural areas which were not so in earlier years. The availability of subsidy has promoted the acquisition of those new equipment by farmers. There is also an effort by the state government to help the farmers to procure pump-sets through provision of subsidy. In Table 2.11 the progress under distribution of agricultural implements on subsidy has been presented. It would be seen from the table that, against only 540 power tillers in 2007-08, 5333 of them were provided to farmers in 2010-11. In 2010-11, 2056 pump-sets were distributed to farmers for enhancement of irrigation capacity.

Organic Farming
The state government has started a new programme for promotion of sustainable farming practices. The total project cost envisaged for 5 years is Rs. 255 crore. The vermi compost production by farmers has been made demand-based with 50 percent subsidy for vermi compost units. Commercial units of vermi compost with annual production of 3000 tonnes are also subsidized. The subsidy on vermi compost purchase is allowed for the first time in the state. Besides vermi compost, bio-fertilizers, viz., Rhizobium, Azotobacter, Phosphate Solubilising Bacteria, Blue Green Algae and Mycorrhiza are promoted on a large scale. The seed producers are given free kits of the appropriate bio-fertilizers. More than 3 lakh farmers have benefited in the programme during rabi season.
Horticultural Development
Bihar is one of the largest producer of fruit and vegetable in the country. It has been enunciated that about a crore of quality planting material of fruit crop would be produced and distributed by agriculture university in the next 5 years. One horticulture crop has been identified for each district, depending on the climate and suitability of the crop in the district. A cluster of crop fields is likely to be developed in the district. This, in turn, will act as a backdrop of an agro-based industry for the district. The state government also provides subsidy for cultivation and rejuvenation of horticulture crops. The cultivation of tissue culture banana has been widely promoted. The establishment of 'papaya gaon', 'flower gaon', etc. would have substantial impact on income for a large number of farmers.
Interest subsidy
The state government has sanctioned interest subsidy on crop loan. This will help farmers to get crop loan on 4 percent interest. The scheme would be implemented through NABARD. This will lead to increased flow of institutional credit to the farmers.
54
Initiative in Kharif and Rabi
Several new initiatives have been launched during kharif 2011 which has given a new dimension to state agriculture.The cultivation of green manure crop (Dhaincha) was promoted on a large scale. Farmers were given dhaincha seed free of cost, and an area of 9.25 lakh acres was covered by the crop. This will have a tremendous impact on the soil fertility in the state, reducing dependence on chemical fertilizers. Two major initiatives were initiated for increasing rice productivity in the state — first, promotion of SRI technique which covered 8.36 lakh acres and, secondly, introduction of hybrid varieties of rice in 10.13 lakh acre. These interventions have resulted into record rice production in the state. Paddy productivity as high as 22.4 tonnes per hectare was recorded in the fields of Mr. Sumant Kumar of Darveshpura village in Katrisarai block of Nalanda district. As per the second advance estimate, the state is poised for record kharif production this year, with substantial increase over the previous best. At the state level, the rice production is estimated this kharif season to be 67.55 lakh tonnes which is 9.85 lakh tonnes more than the previous best in 2008-09 at 56.00 lakh tonnes.
Agriculture Road Map
With launch of Agriculture Road Map in 2008, Bihar embarked on an innovative approach for agriculture planning and implementation. The Road Map programmes will be finalised by March, 2012. The state government has constituted a Cabinet Committee on Agriculture with the Chief Minister as its Chairman. This is a land mark initiative. The Agriculture Cabinet comprises 18 Departments. The Agricultural Cabinet has constituted 14 expert committees for preparation of a road map for 2022. The draft report has been thoroughly deliberated by the Agricultural Cabinet and the farmers' suggestions have been gathered in a Kisan Samagam in February, 2012. The Road Map 2022 will be launched from April 2012.
2.6 Agricultural Credit
Besides physical inputs like seed, water, fertilizer and agricultural implements, agricultural operation also require adequate credit support. Agricultural credit can provide adequate livelihood opportunities to rural households and ensure food security to the population. Credit is indeed a catalytic agent to lubricate the process of agriculture and rural development. Improved credit flow to agriculture would help achieve inclusive growth that can substantially minimize the incidence of inequalities within and among districts in the state. Credit support becomes all the more important as many of the modern inputs has got to be procured from the market. But sadly credit flow has been far from adequate, as can seen from data pertaining to the sector. The relevant information on sourcewise credit flow to agriculture in Bihar is presented in Table 2.12.

The table covers a period from 2005-06 to 2011-12. For 2011-12, the low level of achievement is not surprising, as it have covered only 6 months of the year. Flow of agricultural credit comprises three sectors, viz, Commercial Bank, Regional Rural Banks (RRB's) and Central Cooperative Bank (CCB). Beginning with 2005-06, the achievement level of total credit targets has been around 80 percent till 2009-10. The achievement level came down to around 70 percent in 2010-11. In absolute terms, total credit flow in agriculture has increased enormously from a very small level of Rs. 2174 crore in 2005-06 to Rs. 10667 crore in 2010-11, or about 5 times. However, taking into account the price rise and high demand of credit from the agricultural sector, the supply of credit is still found to be inadequate. The share of three principal sources in 2010-11 stood at– Commercial Banks (77.0 percent) RRB's (61.0 percent) and CCB (28.0 percent). In other words, the commercial banks are still the major source of agricultural credit in Bihar.
Since the commercial banks and RRB's are reluctant to advance money to the agricultural sector, as they are used to seek collaterals for advances, it would have been ideal if the cooperative banks could play the lead role in agricultural sector. But even in 2010-11, their presence is limited to only 3-4 districts. The districtwise position of targets and achievements of agricultural credits are presented in Table A 2.11 (Appendix). Again, the level of achievements of cooperative banks against targets, are the lowest among three sources of agricultural credit over the years. From the table, it is evident that, in 2010-11, only for three districts, targets were achieved. These districts are Aurangabad, Begusarai and Khagaria. The districts where their activity is particularly low are Arwal, Jehanabad, Munger and Sheikhpura.
56
Kisan Credit Card (KCC)
The Kisan Credit Card (KCC) has been one of the most important instrument through which credit is being provided to farmers for agricultural operations. The scheme was introduced in 1999 and it allowed for a maximum credit of to Rs. 50,000 to farmers to procure agricultural inputs. In 2009-10, an estimated number of 13.40 lakh farmers got benefits through the facility of KCC (Table 2.13). Upto 2008-09, the achievement level of KCC has been around 60 percent of the targets. However, since then, there has been improvement and the achievement level was as high as 89.30 percent in 2009-10. In 2010-11, the achievement level was 70.14 per cent. The facility of KCC needs to be widened in coming years, failing which the informal credit market with exorbitantly high interest rate would continue to haunt the farmers, particularly those who are small and marginal.

The districtwise achievement under KCCs for the period from 2001 to 2011 are presented in Table A 2.12 (Appendix). It can be observed that there exists wide variation in terms of the achievement level of KCC's across the district between 2001 to 2010. In 2011, the three districts with the highest number of KCC's are East Champaran (82,860), Samastipur (80,395) and West Champaran (75,749). The three districts with the least number of KCC's are Jamui (5216), Arwal (8363) and Sheohar (12,123).

2.7 Animal Husbandry
Besides agriculture, livestock and dairy is one of the key sectors for creation of livelihood and employment opportunities in the rural sector. This sector also plays an important role for womenfolk belonging to the marginal sector. This sector holds an important position in the states economy and it contributes about one-fifth of the total rural income. Further, since 90 percent of state's population is rural, animal husbandry is extremely important for providing gainful employment to population living in rural areas, where many households are either landless and have landholdings of less than one hectare. The state government has taken positive steps during the Eleventh plan to strengthen the animal husbandry sector.
According to livestock census of 2007, the total livestock population of Bihar is 416.13 lakh. Of this as presented in Table A 2.13 (Appendix), 39.8 percent are milch animals with a cow population of 124.01 lakh and a buffalo population of 66.98 lakhs. The state also has a substantial number of goats (101.69 lakh) which are popularly known as poor man’s cow. The size of poultry is also quite large at 114.14 lakhs. With such a large livestock sector, the growth potential is abundant. As most of the rural households are landless or marginal farmers, this sector functions more or less as a subsistence sector. The state government has taken a number of initiatives for the development of livestock and dairy sector of the economy is recent times. These initiatives include breed upgradation, health and nutrition, insurance scheme for milch animals, as well as marketing of animal husbandry and dairy products. The development of livestock wealth and higher production from this sector would go a long way in providing a sound base for economic prosperity of rural Bihar.
The figures for livestock wealth would reveal a considerable variation among the districts in terms of their share in the total livestock population of Bihar. For bovine population (cows and buffaloes), the districts with larger proportions are — Patna, Bhojpur, Rohtas, Gaya, Banka, Muzaffarpur, West Champaran, Madhubani and Purnea. For goats and poultry animals, the north-eastern part of the state is particularly suitable. For these animals, concentration is significant in the districts of Purnea, Araria, Kishanganj and Katihar.
In Table 2.14 are presented the production levels of various output of the animal husbandry sector. Milk continues to be the most important output of the sector. The production of milk has increased from 26.32 lakh tonnes in 2001-02 to 65.00 lakh tonnes in 2010-11. This implied an annual growth rate of 11.16 percent. During the same period, the production of eggs has increased to 110.10 crores in 2009-10 from a production level of 74.00 crore in 2001-02. But, in 2010-11, the
58
production level fell to 74.40 crores leading to an annual growth rate of 3.25 percent. The production of wool now stands stagnated at a level of 2.50 – 2.60 lakh kgs.

Annual Production of Fish In Bihar
The state government has several schemes like treatment of animals, sterilization, artificial insemination, immunization and free distribution of fodder seeds for the promotion of the animal husbandry sector. In Table A 2.14 (Appendix), the districtwise details of these services for the
59
year 2010-11 are presented. For Bihar as a whole, 35.73 lakh animals were treated in 2010-11. In addition, 221.73 lakh animals were immunized. The free distribution of fodder seeds was substantial at 4410.69 quintals in 2010-11. These services, as mentioned above, are not uniform among the district.
The state government has recently sanctioned 20 ambulatory vans equipped with latest technology and veterinary medicines and tools, for 20 mobile veterinary hospitals. The state government has established silos at places at Patna, Munger, Bhagalpur, Saharsa, Purnea, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga, Chhapra and Banka for storage of liquid nitrogen for artificial insemination. It has also taken steps to revive all the defunct Artificial Insemination centres. Presently, a total numbers of 950 centres are working for artificial insemination. The progress of artificial insemination programme has been very substantial in Bihar. In 2009-10, only 9.90 lakh animals were artificially inseminated. In 2010-11, the achievement level significantly increased and around 19.48 lakh animals were covered. The state government has developed resources for upgradation of species so as to enhance the production of milk and milk products at a faster rate.
Fisheries
Bihar has a span of 237.3 thousand hectares of water area and 3200 kms. of river. This constitutes around 3.9 percent of the total geographical area of the state. There exists, therefore, an ample scope of providing gainful employment to rural households through the development of pisciculture. There has been a steady growth of fish production in the state. The contribution of fishing to total GSDP has more than trebled.
In 2004-05, the production of fish in Bihar was 2.67 lakh tonnes. There was a steady increase in the production thereafter and the level reached the peak position of 3.06 lakh tonnes in 2008-09. In 2010-11, the level came down to 2.89 lakh tonnes. The production level of fish is presented in Table 2.14. The growth of fish production has been at an annual rate of 1.8 percent which is rather healthy.
The state government has taken positive initiative for the development of fisheries sector in general and for the betterment of fish farmers in particular. A provision of easy credit facilities through Primary Agricultural Cooperative Societies (PACS) and extension services in the form of education and training to fish farmers have been important landmarks in the development of the sector. Recently, a fisheries insurance schemes has been introduced for fish farmers. For this
60
scheme, a premium of Rs. 3200 per hectare has been fixed. The beneficiary has to pay Rs. 1600 per hectare and the rest Rs 1600 would be borne by the state government. An MOU has been signed with Oriental Insurance Company, a public sector unit, to launch this scheme.
The schemes like distribution of fingerlings to fish farmers, distribution of loans for maintenance and renovation of private ponds for fish rearing and free housing for fishermen have immensely benefited the fishermen of the state. In 2010-11, a record number of 2762.3 lakh fish seeds were produced and distributed in the state. The districtwise production of fish and fish seeds for the year 2010-11 can be seen from Table A 2.15 (Appendix). The data in the table would indicate that districts falling in the Darbhanga division (Darbhanga, Madhubani and Samastipur) are major producers of fish. The level of fish production in 2010-11 for the leading districts and their share in the total fish production in the state are as follows— Darbhanga (15.4 thousand tonnes, 5.33 percent) and Madhubani (13.1 thousand tonnes, 4.53 percent), East Champaran (15.5 thousand tonnes, 5.36 percent) and Saran (14.9 thousand tonnes, 5.15 percent).
New schemes for stocking of reservoirs have been taken up in the state. Five reservoirs have been stocked with fingerlings financed by the National Fisheries Development Board. The required credit has been provided to the farmers for constructions of fish hatchery, having capacity of 8-10 million fry. Its unit cost is Rs. 15.00 lakh, on which there is a provision of 20 percent subsidy with a ceiling of Rs. 3.00 lakh.
