Krishi Kalyan Abhiyan

PM Krishi Kalyan Abhiyan was initiated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare for phase I in 112 aspirational districts across the country. The program’s goal was to develop agriculture and related activities in these promising districts. During this time, Krishi Vigyan Kendras served as the nodal point for an action plan that included actions from all three departments: DAC&FW, DAHD&F, and DARE. Because of the positive response, Krishi Kalyan Abhiyan Phase II will begin in 117 aspirational districts across all states.

Soil Health Card Scheme

A flagship scheme on Soil Health Card was launched by Hon’ble Prime Minister on 19th February, 2015 with an aim to assist state governments in providing Soil Health Cards for all farm holdings across the country at a two-year interval to maintain soil resource health and enable farmers to realise optimum yields at lower costs with minimal environmental damage. Farmers can use the information on the fertility state of their soils from the soil health card to apply suggested balanced dosages of fertilisers in an integrated manner.

Foot and Mouth Disease Vaccination

Fever, vesicles, and blisters in the mouth, hooves, skin between the toes, udder, and teats characterise Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD), a highly contagious disease affecting livestock. FMD prevention is known to be a reliable approach of treatment. The sickness has a negative impact on the animals’ ability to produce. This bovine FMD vaccination programme includes the whole bovine population in the designated communities. KKA requires that 100 percent coverage be provided. However, because the immunisation is given every six months, it should not interfere with the normal vaccination cycle.

Peste des Petits Ruminant Vaccination

PPR, also known as Sheep and Goat Plague, is a highly contagious illness that affects small ruminants and causes fever, oral sores, diarrhoea, pneumonia, and often death. This PPR vaccination campaign for goats and sheep 4 covers all sheep and goats in the specified villages. The KKA requires that 100 percent coverage be provided.

Artificial Intelligence (A.I.)

According to the 19th Livestock Census 2012, India has a 300 million bovine population (cattle 191 million and buffalo 109 million). Exotic and crossbred cattle account for 20% of the 191 million cow population (39 million), while indigenous and nondescript varieties account for the remaining 80%, which are mostly low yielders. A typical Indian cow owned by a poor farmer produces only 1 to 2 litres per day. As a result, appropriate breeding techniques must be used to improve the productivity of our indigenous cattle. Artificial Insemination is the most important approach for improving output. A.I. plays a critical role in increasing cow productivity by boosting genetic potential, which leads to greater milk output. Artificial insemination with the sperm of high yielding indigenous breed (HYIB) bulls will be used to boost the production of our native breeds as part of the conservation and development of indigenous breeds. Artificial insemination of at least 100 breedable bovines will be carried out under this initiative in each of the 25 villages in each Aspirational district.
