Summary of circle wise Area Rejuvenated under Nation Mission on Saffron during 2011-12 District Pulwama

Cultivation of Saffron crop is very labour intensive which can be gauged very well and beyond doubt by the fact that 1928 man days of labor/hectare are required for the rejuvenation process only which in other words means that a total No. of 520,560 man days of labour were required for rejuvenation of 270 hectare of saffron land.

In express terms, round about 23611 man days were engaged with the replanting process each day which had to be supervised very closely to ensure planting in accordance with the re-commended planting geo-metry.

The most challenging task of making the farmers agree to re-sort to sorting and grading of corms and fungicidal treatment was not granted any concession by the field staff posted in the circles and its results are obvious as the farmers are now harvesting their produce in the Ist year of sowing.

The personnel deployed for rejuvenation programme included the Rehbir-i- Zirat’s – a qualified and dedicated lot who were instrumental in translating the package into reality under the command of the experienced officers of the department.
