The project aims to enhance the resilience of Indian agriculture to climate change and climate vulnerability through strategic research and technology demonstration. The research on adaptation and mitigation covers crops, livestock, fisheries, and natural resource management. The project consists of four components viz. Strategic Research, Technology Demonstration, Capacity Building and Sponsored/Competitive Grants. Climate change has become an important area of concern for India to ensure food and nutritional security for the growing population. The impacts of climate change are global, but countries like India are more vulnerable because of the high population depending on agriculture. In India, significant negative impacts have been implied with medium-term (2010-2039) climate change, predicted to reduce yields by 4.5 to 9 percent, depending on the magnitude and distribution of warming. Since agriculture makes up roughly 16 percent of India’s GDP, a 4.5 to 9% negative impact on production implies a cost of climate change to be roughly up to 1.5 percent of GDP per year. The Government of India has accorded high priority to research and development to cope with climate change in the agriculture sector. 324 | Page Climate resilient agriculture for risk mitigation
International Conference on Reimagining Rainfed Agro-ecosystems: Challenges & Opportunities during 22-24, December 2022 at ICAR-CRIDA, Hyderabad Methodology With this background, the ICAR launched a major Project entitled, National Initiative on Climate Resilient Agriculture (NICRA) during 2010-11 with an outlay of Rs.350 crores for the XI Plan with the following objective to enhance the resilience of Indian agriculture covering crops, livestock, and fisheries to climatic variability and climate change through the development and application of improved production and risk management technologies, to demonstrate site-specific technology packages on farmers’ fields for adapting to current climate risks and to enhance the capacity building of scientists and other stakeholders in climate-resilient agricultural research and its application. Results The present study has been undertaken to assess the impact of the Technology Demonstration Component (TDC) of the NICRA programme being implemented by the Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Bhagalpur, Bihar running under the administrative umbrella of Agricultural University, Sabour, Bhagalpur. The performance of NICRA-interventions taken up during Kharif-2022 has been assessed for two villages having sizeable areas (12.50 – 17.39 %) and farmers (11.0 – 23.81%) under rainfed agriculture and compared with non-NICRA intervened farmers in the villages. The rainfall characteristics of the district during Kharif-2022 have been experienced as the drought year having total rainfall of 535.2 mm (45-61%) against the yearly amount of 1173.3 mm, total Kharif rainfall of 330 mm (14.54%) against normal of 955.40 mm. During the major transplanting (paddy) months of July and August 2022, the district has only received a total rainfall of 43.60 (14.1%) & 77.00 mm (29.28%) respectively with three dry spells (710 days:01 & 715 days:02) which resulted in 15.20 days of delayed transplanting and the leap stage has been impacted with heavy weed infestation (28.5%) along with 35% decrease in transplanting area with a coverage of 36.6 acres. Concerning the variable weather condition, the NICRA-interventions such as transplanting by short-duration rice varieties; Sahbhagi, Sabour Harshit & Sita has been undertaken in three villages along with other climates resilient technologies like the introduction of paddy or Sabour Shree with DSR in the medium irrigated land significantly situated in the NICRA villages. Along with the technologies demonstration component on paddy varieties, for cattle, de-warmer & chelated mineral mixture along with PPR-vaccinated in goats have been demonstrated. There has been a significant in area production, productivity, and B: C ratio due to the NICRA intervention despite the drought stress experienced by farmers during Kharif-2022 in comparison to the non-NICRA farmers in the villages. Conclusion The project has made a significant initial impact and was well-received in most of the districts.
