Government Programmes towards Farmers

Seed development and multiplication.

Focuses on producing high-quality, high-yielding, and disease-resistant seeds to improve farmers’ productivity.

Promotion of niche crops, vegetables, medicinal / aromatic plants, nutri cereals, and oilseeds.

This initiative encourages farmers to grow high-value and climate-resilient crops such as niche vegetables, medicinal and aromatic plants, millets (nutri cereals), and oilseeds.

Strengthening agri-marketing systems.

This initiative improves how farmers sell their produce by developing better market infrastructure, storage, grading, packaging, and digital marketing platforms.

Apiculture (Beekeeping) and sericulture.

This initiative supports honey production through beekeeping and silk production through sericulture.

Farm mechanization and automation, including custom hiring centers and drone technology.

This initiative promotes modern farming by providing advanced machines, automation tools, and drones to farmers.

Mushroom cultivation.

This initiative promotes mushroom farming by providing training, quality spawn, and low-cost infrastructure to farmers.

Forming Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs).

This initiative brings farmers together into organized groups so they can collectively produce, process, and market their crops.

Promoting integrated farming and livelihood systems.

This initiative encourages farmers to combine crop farming with livestock, fisheries, horticulture, and other allied activities.

Commercial floriculture.

This initiative promotes large-scale cultivation of flowers and ornamental plants using modern techniques like greenhouses and polyhouses.

Developing rainfed areas.

It includes soil and water conservation, rainwater harvesting, improving soil fertility, and promoting drought-tolerant crops.

Promoting alternate and sensor-based smart agriculture.

This initiative encourages the use of modern technologies such as sensors, IoT devices, automated irrigation, and climate-smart tools.

Minimizing pesticide use.

It focuses on integrated pest management (IPM), use of bio-pesticides, pest-resistant crop varieties, and farmer awareness.

Establishing a J&K soil & land resource information system.

This initiative aims to create a digital, scientific database of Jammu & Kashmir’s soil and land resources.

Innovative agriculture extension approaches through Kisan Khidmat Ghars.

These centers provide farmers with real-time information, access to government schemes, weather updates, soil testing, training, digital advisory services, and market linkages.

Horticulture & Livestock Sectors (Allied Activities).

This initiative supports the growth of horticulture and livestock by improving fruit production, establishing food processing units, and increasing dairy, mutton, poultry, and fish production.

Producing designer plants and developing UT-level food processing clusters.

This initiative focuses on producing high-quality, specialized “designer” plants using modern nurseries and advanced propagation techniques.

Livestock.

This initiative focuses on improving dairy, mutton, and poultry production through better breeds, modern farming practices, and veterinary services.

Developing dairy, mutton, and poultry production.

This initiative aims to boost the production of milk, meat, and eggs by improving animal breeds, upgrading farms, and providing better feed, healthcare, and modern equipment.

Technological interventions for fish seed and trout production.

This initiative focuses on improving fish seed quality and trout production using modern technologies like hatchery upgrades, controlled breeding, water quality monitoring, and scientific feeding systems.

Promoting wool/pelt processing and marketing.

This initiative aims to improve the processing, quality, and value addition of wool and animal pelts through modern equipment, training, and better grading systems.

Developing fodder resources.

This initiative focuses on increasing the availability of high-quality fodder through improved fodder crops, pasture development, silage-making, and modern storage methods.
