Benefit

1

Demonstration

The incentives for demonstration in one ha area for sole crop (excluding coarse cereals) will Rs 9000/- and Rs. 15000/- for a cropping-system based demonstration.

For coarse cereals, the incentive for demonstration in one ha area will be Rs. 6000/-

2

Seed Distribution

Assistance for purchase of seeds will be available to selected farmers for the area not exceeding 2 ha each in a crop season as per provisions in the DBT. The rate varies for each crop.


Benefits

The scheme targets to provide following benefits:

1) Enhance production and productivity of crops

2) Promotion and extension of improved technologies and seed varieties through Cluster Demonstration, Cluster Frontline Demonstration, and Frontline Demonstration

3) Assistance for quality / certified seeds production and distribution

4) Support for nutrient management and pest management

5) Provision of flexi component for Interventions covering farm implements/ machines, capacity building of farmers, water carrying pipes, post-harvest technologies like Dal Mill/de-stoning/ grading, etc.

Eligibility

All farmers can apply for the scheme.



Criteria for Identification of Areas and Beneficiaries

1) In accordance with the decision of the GoI regarding implementation of Special Component Plan (SCP) for Scheduled Castes and Tribal SubPlan (TSP) for Scheduled Tribes, 16% of the total allocation for SCP and 8% for TSP will be earmarked. However, States will be allowed to make allocation to SC/ST farmers proportionate to their population in the States/districts.

2) At least 33% allocation of the fund is to be made for small and marginal farmers.

3) At least 30% allocation of the fund is to be made for women farmers.

4) All the farmers are entitled to avail the assistance for various components of the Mission limited to 5 hectares in a season.



Criteria for selection of districts:

1) Districts with area more than 50,000 ha and yield below State average yield under NFSM-Rice and NFSM-Wheat have been selected.

2) All districts of north-eastern states (except Assam) with at least 5000 ha area under rice have been selected.

3) Districts with at least 15000 ha area under rice or wheat in hill states of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Uttarakhand have been selected.

4) All districts of 29 states have been included under NFSM pulses.

5) In case of coarse cereals (Maize and Barley), the districts covering 70% of the total coarse cereals area of the state have been selected.

Russian parliament passed a bill to revoke its ratification of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty

By
Relevance:  Russia revokes ratification of nuclear test ban treaty (CTBT) - ICAN But it affirmed that it will  retain its cooperation with the treaty’s verification system and implementing organisation.  Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty: The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), which opened for signature in 1996, was intended to prohibit all nuclear weapon test explosions. Over 2,000 nuclear tests occurred between 1945 and 1996: the United States (1,000+), the Soviet Union (700+), France (200+), the United Kingdom and China (45 each). As at January 2013, 183 countries had signed the Treaty, of which 158 have also ratified it, including three of the nuclear weapon states (France, the Russian Federation and the United Kingdom). However, 44 specific nuclear technology holder countries must sign and ratify before the CTBT can enter into force. Of these, eight are still missing: China, Egypt, India , Iran, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan and the US. India , North Korea and Pakista...

Interstellar space and Interstellar Probes ( Voyager and New Horizons Missions )

By
Interstellar Space: Interstellar space is often called the space between the stars, but more specifically, it’s the region between our Sun’s heliosphere and the astrospheres of other stars. Our heliosphere is a vast bubble of plasma – a gas of charged particles – that spews out of the Sun. This outflow is known as the solar wind. The bubble surrounds the Sun and stretches beyond the planets. Both Voyager spacecraft had to travel more than 11 billion miles (17 billion kilometers) from the Sun in order to cross the edge of the heliosphere. This bubble is moving through interstellar space as the Sun orbits the center of the Milky Way galaxy. As our heliosphere plows through space, it creates a bow wave, like the wave formed by the bow of a ship. Kuiper Belt &  Oort Cloud: The Kuiper Belt is a doughnut-shaped ring of icy objects around the Sun, extending just beyond the orbit of Neptune from about 30 to 55 AU. Similar to the asteroid belt, the Kuiper Belt is a region of leftovers f...

ISRO developing semi-cryogenic engine working on LOX Kerosene propellant

By
ISRO is developing a 2000 kN thrust semi-cryogenic engine working on an LOX Kerosene propellant combination for enhancing the payload capability of LVM3 and for future launch vehicles. Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC) is the lead centre for the development of semi-cryogenic propulsion systems with the support of other launch vehicle centres of ISRO. The assembly and testing of the propulsion modules were done at the ISRO propulsion complex (IPRC), Mahendragiri. As part of the engine development, a pre-burner ignition test article, which is a full complement of the engine power head system excluding the turbopumps is realized. The first ignition trial was conducted successfully on May 2, 2024, at semi cryo integrated engine test facility (SIET) at IPRC, Mahendragiri, which was dedicated to the nation recently by the honorable Prime Minister of India. Smooth and sustained ignition of the preburner is demonstrated which is vital for the starting of the semi-cryogenic engine. Semi-c...
