1 1. AGRICULTURE & ALLIED ACTIVITIES: A. CROP HUSBANDRY: (Rs.5.00 lacs) The total area of U.T., Chandigarh is 114 sq. kms. The distribution of land use in Chandigarh has been prepared by the Punjab Remote Sensing Centre, Ludhiana in 2004, which is as under:- 1. Urban Area = 62% 2. Area under village habitation = 7.7% 3. Area under agriculture = 8.6% 4. Area under forest and plantation = 7.7% 5. Area under miscellaneous use = 14% The Union Territory, Chandigarh has a limited area under agriculture. The agricultural land is being gradually acquired for the expansion of Chandigarh City. The cultivated area has shrunk from 5441 hectares in 1966 to 1208 hectares in as per the revenue report. The whole of the agricultural land is irrigated. The main sources of irrigation are deep-bore tube-wells installed by the Chandigarh Administration and shallow tube-wells installed by individual farmers. The farmers of Union Territory, Chandigarh keep a large number of milch cattle and have taken to fodder cultivation to cater to the need of cattle. Therefore, the area under food grain crops is decreasing. The main food grain crop is wheat and it is sown nearly in 600 hectares & fodder is sown nearly in 1250 hectares (Kharif, Rabi and summer crops). The Chandigarh Administration is providing the following facilities to the farmers:- i) Timely supply of inputs like pesticides, fertilizers, seeds and garden tools. ii) Supply of adequate irrigation water from the deep-bore tube-wells. iii) Arranging of study tours for farmers. iv) Distribution of wheat and fodder seeds at 25% discount. Average Yield of major Crops Per Hectare in Rice = Qtl. Maize = Qtl. Wheat = Qtl. In order to bring all-round development in the field of agriculture and to have optimum benefits from the remaining land, the following schemes with an outlay of Rs.5.00 lacs have been proposed for the Annual Plan CH.1 Development in the field of Agriculture:

2 a. Organic Cultivation of seeds & Horticulture: (Rs.4.00 lacs) (i) Kitchen garden nursery: Chandigarh is a growing and developing city and it depends on the neighboring states of Punjab and Haryana for the supply of fruits and vegetables. This arrangement is not stable. In order to provide technical guidance of inputs for cultivation of various crops and to have optimum benefits from the remaining land, it is proposed that farmers may be encouraged to incorporate advanced inputs to improve production. The Department of Agriculture has already set up a plant and kitchen garden nursery for supply of quality seeds, seedings of flowers and vegetables, fruits and ornamental plants, insecticides, pesticides and agricultural tools to the urban and rural people at reasonable rates. (ii) Supply of Wheat and fodder Seed at 25% discount Since majority of farmers in Union Territory, Chandigarh are small/ marginal, the individual efforts to purchase small quantity of new high yielding seeds of wheat/fodder from reputed Institutions/Corporations are not fruitful and farmers face difficulty on this account. It is therefore, proposed to procure the wheat/fodder seed of latest varieties and to supply the same to the farmers at 25% discount in order to popularize the use of high yielding seeds of wheat and fodder and to get maximum production. In Union Territory, Chandigarh the area under agriculture is decreasing due to acquisition of land by the Chandigarh Administration for the development of the city. The farmers of Union Territory Chandigarh have taken to fodder cultivation to cater the demand of the milch cattle kept by them. The farmers are demanding quality seeds for the fodder crop to get better yield of green fodder so that they are able to fulfill the demand of fodder to some extent as the area under agriculture is not even sufficient to meet the domestic requirement of the farmers. With the distribution of quality seeds of fodder/wheat to U.T. farmers, an area of about 75 hectares will be brought under high yielding varieties of wheat and fodder annually. During the current financial year , an outlay of Rs.4.00 lacs is available under this scheme which will be utilized by the end of this financial year. For the financial year , an outlay of Rs.4.00 lacs has been proposed under the scheme Organic Cultivation of Seeds and Horticulture which may kindly be approved. b. Extension and farmers training study tour: (Rs.1.00 lac) This scheme was introduced during the 7 th Five Year Plan with the objective of acquainting the farmers of the UT with the latest and improved farming techniques.

In addition to this, to control and regulate the use of insecticides and pesticides and to avoid excessive use of pesticides in the field of agriculture, the Department of Agriculture arranges farmers training camps in the UT, villages. During the current year , an outlay of Rs.1.00 lac is available under this scheme, which will be utilized by the end of the current financial year.
