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

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

Producer Organisations (FPO), giving access to better prices. And the fourth component is<br />

about integrating applied research to support farmers using simple tools and methods includes<br />

maintaining field books by farmers, crop water budgeting, and assessing groundwater<br />

availability by testing well water depth and pump discharge.<br />

The study was focused on the water scare area <strong>of</strong> Maharashtra and Telangana states. The GMI<br />

model details are given here under.<br />

Results<br />

Asignificant rise is observed in cropped and irrigated areas, cropping intensity, and crop and<br />

water productivity due to GMI intervention.<br />

Impact <strong>of</strong> GMI intervention on cropped and irrigated area, cropping intensity, and crop<br />

and water productivity<br />

Assessment indicator<br />

Average rise in the cropped area (%) 40.01<br />

Average rise in Irrigated area (%) 99.20<br />

Average rise in cropping intensity (%) 67.42<br />

Average rise in crop Productivity (%) 82.86<br />

Average rise in water productivity (%) 77.81<br />

Average change in cropping pattern<br />

Comparison between Pre and Post-intervention<br />

Shifted from grain crops to high-valued crops e.g. vegetable<br />

RULES (BY GROUPS) FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF THE GMI<br />

Water budgeting and crop planning before every season. The selection <strong>of</strong> crops should be the same for all or<br />

with the same harvesting duration based on the water budget decisions<br />

Compulsory use <strong>of</strong> micro-irrigation systems and water-intensive crops are not allowed when water<br />

availability is limited<br />

Follow climate-resilient agricultural practices<br />

A compulsory contribution <strong>of</strong> group funds based on GMI land area for maintenance and repair expenditures<br />
