“Due to Climate change, I was facing lot of
problems. Everything has changed;
climate shocks affect the crop yield.
Farming has been passed from
generations and is still the only source of
income but not the sustainable one.
- Babulal Gowda (farmer from Odisha)
Agriculture employs 1.3 billion people globally
INDIA@COP22
In Africa, yields will be halved by 2020 and net revenues may fall by as much as 90%
by 2100, owing to climate change.
In Latin America, almost 50% of agricultural land could be subjected to
desertification and salinization.
In the Small Island developing states (SIDS) it is estimated that there will be 10%
decrease in average rainfall by 2050
In Africa where nearly 220 million people are exposed to droughts every year
In India 263 million people working in agriculture, over half of all workers;
70% small and marginal farmers
INDIA@COP22
Vision 2022 of Govt. of India: Double farmers incomes by 2022
• 80 million hectares under agriculture is dependent on rains
•
•
263 million farmers and Agricultural Labor dependent on rains
70% are small and marginal farmers

11 million affected during droughts in
Odisha in 2000 and 2002
Over 5.7 million Ha affected in 2009 due to
late arrival of monsoon and erratic rainfall
10 times increase in incidences of extreme
weather events from 1930 to 2010
18 million hectare of crop were damaged in
2015 alone, a loss of approximately USD 4
billion
9 million farmers in Maharashtra, over
were affected by drought in 2015
70-80% loss in winter maize in Bihar owing
to cold wave (2002-03)

2013: Ministry of Agriculture, Govt. of India submitted a project to Department of Economic Affairs,
Ministry of Finance, Govt. of India to establish a Climate Change Knowledge Network in Indian
Agriculture (CCKN-IA) in collaboration with Indo-German Technical Cooperation (GIZ).
The project steering committee of CCKN-IA is headed by Joint Secretary, Rain-fed Farming Systems (RFS),
Department of Agriculture & Cooperation, Govt. of India.
National Institute of Agricultural Extension Management (MANAGE), nominated as National Consortium
Facilitating Agency (NCFA), to monitor planning and implementation of CCKN-IA in India in 3 states,
namely, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Odisha
State Level Agricultural Extension Training and Management Institutes of three participating project
states have been nominated as Consortium Facilitating Agencies (CFAs) for three states. These CFAs work
in close coordination with MANAGE as NCFA at National Level.
2 districts from each state, namely Ranchi and East Singhbhum in Jharkhand, Ahmednagar and Pune in
Maharashtra and Dhenkanal and Ganjam in Odisha selected as project districts with two blocks each for
complete project.
INDIA@COP22
Climate Change Knowledge Network for Indian Agriculture (CCKN-IA)
Objectives:
•
use innovative Information Communications Technology-based (ICT-based) knowledge
platform along with supporting institutions and systems for knowledge networking, to
improve processing, sharing and use of knowledge around climate change adaptation in
agriculture.
•
enable relevant actors in agriculture at the national, state, district and farmer level to
increasingly use information and advisory content provided by such knowledge networks.
INDIA@COP22
Climate Change Knowledge Network for Indian Agriculture (CCKN-IA)
Key Interventions:
•
•
•
•
•
•
A dedicated ICT platform called Network for Information on Climate (Ex) Change – NICE developed for
effective knowledge exchange among the key stakeholders to facilitate a real time two way
communication between farmers and knowledge providers.
NICE enables institutes like, State Agriculture Universities (SAUs), Farm Science Centers (KVKs), India
Meteorological Department (IMD), private sector and others engaged in developing and disseminating
localized quality knowledge on climate change adaptation.
The project works with public and private sector partners to establish innovative institutional system.
Capacity building is one of the core themes.
SAMETIs – CFAs and MANAGE-NCFA play a key role in continuous capacity building of all the
stakeholders in using new and emerging ICTs and integrating all key stakeholders on NICE
CCKN-IA builds on existing resources and institutions in the public and private space through strategic
leverages and convergences.
INDIA@COP22
Climate Change Knowledge Network for Indian Agriculture (CCKN-IA)
Progress so far:
 NICE has over 350 registered users. More than 22,000 farmers in the three project states are linked to NICE,
receiving quality advisories.
 The network of knowledge experts provide highly localized and vetted advisories on climate change adaptation to
farmers. Advisories are disseminated through extension systems as well as via private players by using multiple
modes of communication -- SMS, videos, illustrations, in person interactions etc. Over 5000 advisories sent till now.
 Network of experts also enable a three-tiered quality assurance and validation of localized advisories. Extension
agent network and farmers collate real time feedback and answer queries relating to climate change challenges and
adaptation needs.
 The project reaches out to remote rural areas and imparts training to the extension agencies on use of ICT for
delivering localized advisories to the farmers and for taking feedback. The extension agents use NICE tablet
applications for exchange of advisories as well as are trained to also advice on pest and disease management.
 Social media is used for peer-learning and resolution of issues. Over 100 whatsapp groups (on different crops and
enterprises) formed in 12 pilot blocks
 Effective institutional systems set up by the project with detailed operational guidelines is helping in establishing
knowledge networks and in effective monitoring and implementation of the project interventions

“We have been doing agriculture since generations and we know how to
do it. Just support us with knowledge and updated advisories.” Farmers
from Maharashtra
Adaptation in agriculture: Issue of knowledge or Knowledge management?
INDIA@COP22
Timely and Authentic?
Localised and based on local needs?
?? ?
Understandable?
Help me in weather based contingency situations?
Complete and doable?
Weather based local adaptation?
Is the knowledge useful for me to adapt?
INDIA@COP22
“The key to success is the proper
information and knowledge about
agriculture” – Namita, Odisha,
“I am saving approximately 50% of the
money which I used to spend on pesticides.
Other farmers also come to me for timely
information and knowledge” – Ranchandar,
a grapes farmer from Maharashtra
The advisories have really improved my knowledge. I try
to implement myself in the field. It’s always good to
implement the information by myself and also share
with fellow farmers- Ghansu Mahto a farmers from
Jharkhand
Kamakhya a farmer from Odisha, got a
yield of 15 quintals of rice per acre,
making him the champion in his village
INDIA@COP22
Can we make ICT work for effective adaptation
in agriculture
 Open source, adaptive ICT backbone called NICE
(Network for Information on Climate (Ex) change acroos
multiple stakeholders
 Institutional mechanisms for effective, timely
development of localized quality advisories and its
dissemination
 Quality Assurance : ICTs amplify
 Effective Delivery
Climate Change Knowledge Network in Indian Agriculture (CCKN-IA)
Localized weather information and decentralized advisories
INDIA@COP22
3 –tier validation process
Open Source; API based
Modular
Two-way communication
Multi-modal communication
Effective query response system
Near real time monitoring
Better response to climate contingencies

“Earlier the information flow was asymmetric
and largely it was top-down to user
communities but not vice-versa. Now farmers
get better and localized advisories on almost a
real time basis. After weekly meetings or even
otherwise, I send queries of the farmers and the
response time is 2-7 days which is very quick”
– Baby Behera, Local Extension Expert, Odisha
