Priority Thrust Areas
| Thrust Area |
|---|
| The productivity of major crops in the district is low, which is due to prevalence of old varieties, imbalance use of fertilizers and high incidence of insect and diseases. So there is a need to introduce high yielding, disease resistant varieties with balance use of fertilizers. |
| Popularizing bio-fertilizer and maintenance of bio-productivity through crop residue management, green manuring and use of FYM and vermi-compost. |
| Management technique for old orchards needs to popularize. |
| The district has very poor breed of cattle. It needs cross breeding programme to promote the cattle development. |
| Infertility in cow & buffaloes are the major problem due to imbalance feeding so promotion of balance feeding through locally available feed material is great need of the district for the growth & development of livestock. |
| Malnutrition is prevalent at a wide range in rural women & children so there is a need to popularize certain recipes using locally available food items and to increase their awareness about major nutritional deficiency diseases, their causes and prevention. |
| Capacity building of adolescent girls and women with already developed technologies and newly developed technologies and generation of income using non farming activities. |
