International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges & Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad Interaction with farmers of Kalaburagi district, Karnataka Results The study revealed that the NICRA village had higher cropping intensity and the major crops grown were rice, red gram, cotton, and other vegetables. The NICRA village had more than 80 percent of the farm household income from agriculture while in the control village it was below 60 percent. The average income of a farm household in the NICRA village is more than 40 percent compared to the control village. The study confirms the impact of NICRA interventions. Impact evaluation must determine and must rely on tools and techniques to estimate the income change in the absence of the program (Samuel et al., 2021). The Double Difference (DD) model output showed that the farm income of treated villages was 40 percent higher showing that better climate-smart interventions improved the farm incomes. Conclusion Adoption of climate resilient and improved technologies though may not directly improve crop income but may have an indirect impact on farm income and resource allocation. Farmers need to take adaptation measures and technologies at the farm level like changing enterprises, diversifying the farming systems, adopting new soil and water conservation measures, and sometimes moving into non-farm activities.

Asewar and M.S.Pendke Department of Agronomy, Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth, Parbhani 431402 In Marathwada region, out total cultivated area of 57.94 lakh ha, 49.60 lakh ha area is rainfed. The impact of climate change and variability in the country on agricultural production is quite evident in the recent years. The weather aberrations like drought and floods, extreme events like high intense rainfall, hail storms, heat wave, cold wave etc, are recurrent in most parts of the country during the crop growing periods. The South-West monsoon account for nearly 75% of the precipitation received in the country and exerts a strong influence on the kharif food grain production and the economy in terms of agricultural output, farmers income and price stability. The onset of South west monsoon, the amount of rainfall and its distribution are crucial factors which influence the performance of agriculture. The probability of erratic monsoon rains is about 40% which implies that 4 out of 10 years there would be an adverse impact on the crop production. There is need to develop appropriate strategies to deal with such eventualities. Many contingency plans are available at different scales. However, any contingency intervention either technology related (land, water, soil, crop) or institutional and policy based, which are implemented on a real time basis in any crop growing season considered as “Real Time Contingency Plan” is the need of hour to stabilize crop stands, production and income in rainfed regions. Marathwada region comprising of eight districts (Aurangabad, Beed, Hingoli, Jalna, Latur, Nanded, Osmanabad and Parbhani) is traditionally a drought-prone region. The region receives annual rainfall in the range of 500 to 1100 mm and comes under assured rainfall zone (60%), moderately high rainfall zone (20%) and scarcity zone (20%). The soils in the region are deep black and medium black. Major kharif crops of the region are cotton, soybean, pigeon pea, sorghum, green gram black gram, and pearl millet, whereas major rabi rainfed crops are rabi sorghum, safflower and chickpea. Rainfall is the key variable influencing crop productivity in rainfed farming. Intermittent and prolonged drought are the major cause of yield reduction in most of the crops. Based on the farmers need, technical interventions were taken up under NICRA Climate resilient agriculture for risk mitigation 241 | Page

International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges &<br />

Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad<br />

Interaction with farmers <strong>of</strong> Kalaburagi district, Karnataka<br />

Results<br />

The study revealed that the NICRA village had higher cropping intensity and the major crops<br />

grown were rice, red gram, cotton, and other vegetables. The NICRA village had more than<br />

80 percent <strong>of</strong> the farm household income from agriculture while in the control village it was<br />

below 60 percent. The average income <strong>of</strong> a farm household in the NICRA village is more<br />

than 40 percent compared to the control village. The study confirms the impact <strong>of</strong> NICRA<br />

interventions. Impact evaluation must determine and must rely on tools and techniques to<br />

estimate the income change in the absence <strong>of</strong> the program (Samuel et al., 2021). The Double<br />

Difference (DD) model output showed that the farm income <strong>of</strong> treated villages was 40<br />

percent higher showing that better climate-smart interventions improved the farm incomes.<br />

Conclusion<br />

Adoption <strong>of</strong> climate resilient and improved technologies though may not directly improve<br />

crop income but may have an indirect impact on farm income and resource allocation.<br />

Farmers need to take adaptation measures and technologies at the farm level like changing<br />

enterprises, diversifying the farming systems, adopting new soil and water conservation<br />

measures, and sometimes moving into non-farm activities. In addition to these, extension and<br />

information delivery to farmers need to be prioritized.<br />
