Objectives of NICRA Project |
-
§
To identify major
vulnerabilities e.g. water scarcity, recurrent drought,
flood, cold wave, heat wave, pest and disease of crops and
livestock, fodder scarcity, poor access to improved seeds
and inputs and farm machinery.
-
To find alternate crop varieties,
in-situ moisture conservation, water harvesting(pond),
management of mid season drought, improved drainage, frost
management, micro-irrigation, silage as feed using surplus
fodder during rainy season, prophylaxis of animals, stress
tolerant high yielding animal breeds, cost effective
shelters, heat stress management in poultry, agro-advisories
etc.
-
To purchase farm machinery for custom
hiring in the target village, seed bank, fodder bank,
management and utilization of CPRs for drought coping and
SHGs and commodity groups for organized production and
marketing.
-
To develop capacity building for
awareness enhancements and training on climate resilient
technologies, risk management and managing relevant
institutions.
Future Plans of NICRA Project
|
-
To select one village in the district
for implementation of the project.
-
To analyze the climate characters of
the village and collect benchmark information on natural
resource & socio-economic status.
-
To demonstrate technology at farmers
fields which can bear effect of climate change.
Identification of most sustainable practices adopted by the
farmers.
-
To finalize climate resilient
technology package.
