 Action plan for Doubling Farmers Income
1. Issue : Small land holding owing to low income
90 % farmers are in marginal and small category and experience Rs. 10K- 13K income/ month .
Strategy: Adoption of Integrated farming.
a. Dairy farming
Expected Outcome:
Small Dairy (3 to 9 milch animals) – Rs. 2.0 – 2.5 lakh/ year
Hi-tech Dairy (10 to 50 milch animals) – Rs. 10 – 15 lakh/ Year
b. Bee Keeping:
Expected Outcome: Rs. 30K / unit of ten boxes/ year
c. Vegetable Cultivation
Expected Outcome: Rs. 3.0 - 5.0 lakh/ ha/ year
d. Value addition of Cereals, Vegetables and Milk
Expected Outcome: Rs. 50K – 60K / year
2. Issue : Livestock enterprise less profitable
 Rearing of poor productive breeds of cattle and buffalo.
 Imbalance feeding practices
 Lack of knowledge about value addition of milk.
Strategies
 Rearing of improved breeds of buffalo and cattle for better productivity.
 Adoption of improved feeding practices.
 Value addition of milk and milk products.
