8. Strategies adopted
Program activity
RRC Level
• -Planning and strategic workshop
• -State level Workshop
• -Training & Workshop for coordinator and SRI promoter (SP)
• -Weeder
• Regular monitoring and field visit
• Booklet on SRI in Manipuri and Rongmei dialect
PIOs level
• Selection of SRI coordinator
• Selection of SRI village
• Selection of SRI Promoter in village level
• Training for SRI farmers
• District level SRI Symposium
• Awareness campaign

9. Constraints
• Timely release of fund is our concern
• Bandh, strike, hike in fuel price are directly or
indirectly contributing hindrance to farmers in
implementation of project
• Unavailability of weeder in time
• Government cooperation can boost up SRI
activities
• Low-cost irrigational structures in the valley
• Most of the paddy fields are rain fed & traditional
DBI
• Slow acceptance of SRI by hill farmers

10. Impact
o 3715 ben. = 3405 acres directly benefited in term of food enhancement at
household level
o Increasing productivity and involving more farmers in SRI & modernization of
rice cultivation
o Creating more aware on appropriate eco-friendly agriculture among the
farmers especially hill farmers.
o partners are more realistic and scientific in terms of data presentation
o Creation of SPs in village levels to sustain the extension of SRI in villages and for
other farmers
o Enhance agriculture extension work with state Government, NABARD,
KVK/ICAR
o Cooperation from Agril.Dept
o Govt. sanctioned 10 lakhs after having the RNBA/partners initiatives of SRI
