Group recommendations

1. To popularize the new varieties of different crops on large scale, on farm demonstrations will conducted by State

Government/Central Institutions/State Institutions and KVKs.

Funding support will be provided by DAC&FW under structured programme for specified new varieties.

2. Subsidy should be extended on production of foundation and certified/ Labelled seeds on targeted varieties including the Seed farms of States/PSU, ICAR Institutes, KVKs and SAUs.

3. Varietal characteristics and package of practice (POP) of newly released/notified varieties will be uploaded on the Seednet portal and seed producing agencies will ensure to supply the POP along with seed packets.

4. Seeds of research varieties may not be allowed for commercial

sale to the farmers.

(9)

5. Area norms under seed village programme may be revised from currently one acre to one hectare per beneficiary farmer.

6. Production subsidy may be allowed under NFSM on new varieties of wheat and rice also as in case of pulses.

7. Monitoring teams for breeder seed production programme constituted by ICAR should also include a representative from respective State Department of Agriculture.

8. Landmark varieties should be identified and their

substitute should be developed. Till the suitable

substitute is not available, these varieties should be

allowed under various GOI Scheme.

(10)

7. For ensuring the availability of quality seeds to the farmers, Seed Testing Laboratories (STLs) should be established in each district and existing STLs should be strengthened.

8. Breeder seed production centres should be supported for infrastructure development.

9. Mechanism for seed traceability should be devised for maintaining proper seed chain ensuring supply of true to type quality seed of different varieties.

10.Good quality certified/test stock seeds of new

varieties should be supplied under mini-kits scheme by

seed producing agencies and area under mini-kits

scheme should be enhanced.
