Project proposals were to be submitted by last week ofNovember, but only 3 States have responded so far.

Tentative State-wise targets given for FQCLs, STLs and MSTLs. For

other components, approval will be need based and broadly in the

ratio of cropped area & holdings.

FY about to end. So prepare proposals for targets of next year aswell and submit

Physical and Financial targets till March, 2010

National Level Data Bank (site specific based on test reports from STLs and

MSTLs) of soil ingredients & GPS enabled Digital District Soil Fertility

Maps for 500 districts

Technologies for improvement in efficiency of fertilizers application maybe unaffordable or unknown in some cases

Thus, use of correct dosage of right kind of fertilizers (including

micronutrients) and may not only enhance production and improve soil

health but also save thousands of crores of rupees to the State Exchequer in

fertilizer subsidy

3. Capacity Building of Officials and Farmers and Field Demos (Rs. 10K to

25K per unit) and Adoption of villages by STLs on Frontline Field Demo
