National Initiative on Climate Resilient Agriculture

• Increasing water storage capacity for irrigation.
•  Sustainable soil health management
•  Assimilation of better agronomical and horticultural practices to  sustain farm profit.
•  Crop diversification.
•  Development of integrated farming system.
•  Providing nutritional security.
•  Capacity building of the farmers to adopt with changing climate

2011

Approximately 26187  ft³ rainwater had been harvested covering an area of about 135.0 ha.  for winter vegetables and rabi maize cultivation and  during dry period. A total area of about 1 ha waste land had been converted to paddy land using water from community bund. Ponds were also used for composite fish culture with average yield of 30 q/farmer/year/ha.KVK, Khowai   has successfully introduced TPS presently known as Hybrid Potato Seed (HPS) technology which was previously unknown to the farmers of North Pulinpur as comparatively less irrigated second crop after Aman paddy with the provision of irrigation from the rejuvenated pond or newly excavated pond under NRM intervention of NICRA. Similarly, after kharif paddy fallow land is now successfully utilized by introduction of second crops like maize var. HQPM  vegetable pea var. Arkel as short duration variety, lentil var. WBL 77 as relatively drought tolerant variety, bitter gourd with mulching practice to conserve soil moisture and by using irrigation water through nano pumps introduced under NICRA. These water reservoir structures are also using for table fish production. Adaptation of SRI in paddy by the farmers could minimize the losses due to water shortage in paddy cultivation. Keeping in mind   cluster demonstration on SRI paddy cultivation using high yielding variety of Paddy var. Gomoti, Tripura Chikon Dhan,Tripura Nirog  Dhan  was demonstrated at an area of 89 ha. Second crop for winter season after kharif paddy could also be grown earlier or in time if medium  duration paddy varieties are  grown instead of long duration commonly grown variety Ranjit that takes about 140-150 days for harvesting. The cropping intensity of the village has been increased from 115 to 170 % within 10 years(2011-2021)   only. Besides this, all the successful climate resilient technologies   are horizontally spreading  to the nearby Village like  Duski , Moharpara,R.S Para   having similar Agro-climatic Condition.
