Focus on villages
Gram Sabha
Direct interaction between Government
functionaries and the village people to solve village
level problems on the spot.
Meets three times in a year
Communications
Roads and the transport services are
connecting all villages of the State
98 % of villages are electrified
All Talukas are connected with
telecommunication network.
State has its own GSWAN network which will
shortly reach out to villages.
Biotechnology
Top priority in Vision 2010 Action
Plan
Enhancing genetic yield levels of
crops and animals, incorporating
resistance to biotic and abiotic
stresses
Leading to a sustainable, stable
and remunerative agriculture
25
Organic Farming
Weather
Forecasting
Development of
Wasteland
Country has, particularly in States
like Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, vast
track of waste lands. Technology
needed for fodder, salinity resistant
crops and trees for these areas.
This will enhance area under
agriculture and support a strong
base of livestock & Provide
employment
29
Market related
Research
It is essential to carry out Market
Research on agricultural
production and productivity of
other countries where our
Agriculture commodities are in
demand on a continuous basis.
A market mechanism needs to be
developed for dissemination of
information and exports
Need to monitor weather condition
and crop production of such
countries which include Africa,
30
Middle-East, South-East Asia and
31
Major concerns :
Per capita availability of fresh water is 60% of
the national average
78% of drinking water supply dependent on ground
water.
Quality and/or quantity of ground water unreliable
During last 15 years :
Reduction in quantity of ground water by 26%
water table going down by almost 3 mts. every year
27% of villages have water quality problems excess
fluoride & nitrate
1600 Km of coastline lead to problem of salinity
ingress in 1/6th part of the State
Recurrence of drought every three years
32

CONCLUSION
State Government takes the full responsibility
of drinking water sources - bulk and semibulk water supply
Village community to manage their in-village
systems
Development of local and traditional source
for conjunctive use.
State Government proposes to ensure safe
potable drinking water to all villages by
December, 2008 on a permanent, long term
and sustainable basis.
