capitalization and operation of the innovation fund,
provision of small innovation grants to successful
applicants, technical consultants and other service
providers linked to innovation Fund, knowledge
sharing, etc.
• National level R&D, innovation
and technology transfer
• Two consolidated areas of focus:
1) Agricultural Performance, Rural
Livelihoods, and Climate
change
2) Decision Support Systems and
Data Bases for Hydrology and
Watershed Management
Agriculture Performance, Rural Development and
Climate Change
a) Improving agricultural performance
• Soil health management. Assess options for soil micronutrient testing and mapping, provide technical support
to states for scaling up
• Improved seeds and planting material. Identify options
to expand use of high quality seeds and planting stock by
farmers
• Livestock. Identify techniques to improve animal health
management and disease control, feed and fodder
availability and quality, better management of common
property areas for livestock; compile best practices with
Gopal Mitras, etc
• Fisheries. Identify technologies and systems to improve
fish yields from aquaculture in tanks, small dams and farm
ponds
• Conservation agriculture. Identify and then demonstrate
techniques in selected areas to illustrate and quantify the
value of these approaches
• Integrated farming system interventions . Identify new
approaches and techniques (covering crops, horticulture,
livestock, fisheries, etc.)
• Gender. Identify options for organizing farm women and
improving their training and capacities
Agriculture Performance, Rural
Development and Climate Change
a) Improving rural livelihoods
• Applied research and development to
develop community-led inclusive growth
models as part of watershed development
• Map and analyze value chains of key
agricultural and non-agricultural product
groups
• Develop models for more effective
integrated farming systems
• Identify and pilot successful approaches that
can help farmers improve their product
quality, market linkages, and access to
finance
• Create financial literacy program for
farmers, and pilot use of new information
sharing technologies for farmers.
Agriculture Performance, Rural
Development and Climate Change
c) Climate change adaptation and risk
reduction for farmers
• Assessment of existing systems in India to
provide improved weather forecasts to
farmers, crop advisories, and delivery of
information on a regular basis
• Studies and knowledge sharing on climate
proofing technologies and role of
watershed management in disaster risk
reduction
• Pilots to apply remote sensing and
modeling for carbon mapping and
monitoring in pilot watersheds
Decision Support Systems and Data Bases
for Hydrology and Watershed Management
a) DSS Development and Piloting
• Develop and pilot new decision-support systems
(DSS) to support DoLR and states to implement
IWMP at landscape, expanded sub-watershed,
and micro-watershed levels:
• Tools to support DoLR and states to assess
investment requirements, select sites, set priorities
• Systems to provide improved hydrological
information to support landscape level assessment
and more integrated watershed planning
• Systems to help farmers, communities, and local
authorities make better water management decisions
as part of watershed planning
• Technical backstopping to states for urban
watershed management
Decision Support Systems and Data
Bases for Hydrology and Watershed
Management
B) Developing Digital Data Bases
• Help establish IT and GIS-enabled
land resource inventory and data
bases in participating states
• Develop overall framework, data needs,
definitions, sharing protocols
• Technical support to states as they develop their
own data bases
• Development of a National
Watershed Data Center in DoLR
linked to state data bases
