Climate change is not the corner stone <strong>of</strong> the natural aberration. It is very much obvious<br />

through abnormal weather conditions. This man-made calamity has negatively impacted<br />

every dimension <strong>of</strong> living. Agriculture <strong>of</strong> the entire country is not the exception from this and<br />

as far as north east region is concerned, due to its geographical position, it has affected it<br />

more. Considering the high vulnerability <strong>of</strong> the region, the ICAR has introduced the different<br />

climate resilient interventions in farmers’ field under Technology Demonstration Component<br />

(TDC) <strong>of</strong> NICRA in the state <strong>of</strong> Assam, Arunachal Pradesh & Sikkim. During 2018-19, in<br />

KVK Dhubri, Assam, an intervention on in-situ soil moisture conservation using straw mulch<br />

in Colocasia was introduced in farmers’ field. The main objective behind this intervention<br />

was to minimize the evaporation loss <strong>of</strong> water from soil and to supress weed growth. It was<br />

found that yield <strong>of</strong> local check was 43.51 q/ha whereas that <strong>of</strong> demonstration was 52.25 q/ha<br />

resulting in 20.09% increase in yield over local check. The other intervention undertaken by<br />

the same KVK was production <strong>of</strong> low cost vermicompost unit and reason behind the<br />

intervention was recycling <strong>of</strong> farm and household waste to convert them to nutrient rich<br />

vermicompost. From an unit <strong>of</strong> 6×3×2.5 cubic ft, net return <strong>of</strong> Rs. 4500.00 was obtained with<br />

B.C ratio <strong>of</strong> 2.5. In KVK Sonitpur, Assam, during 2018-19, paddy straw mulching in ginger<br />

variety Nadia was introduced in farmers’ field. During rabi season, rainfall was very less and<br />

low soil moisture affected the growth and development <strong>of</strong> winter crops. So this intervention<br />

was undertaken to conserve soil moisture as well as to suppress weed growth. Yield <strong>of</strong> local<br />

check and demonstration were 22 q/ha and 43 q/ha respectively. Increase in yield over local<br />
