A LITTLE ACQUAINTANCE WITH THE BIKANER RAJASTHAN

A City- awesome and beautiful. A vast expanse of rippling sand and scorching sun.An arid, rocky scrubland. It is situated on an elevated ground, surrounded by a seven-kilometer-long embattled wall marked by five gates. The Rathore prince Rao Bikaji, the liveliest and most enterprising son of Rao Jodhaji of Marwar, founded Bikaner in 1488 AD. Since Bikaner was in the middle of the Thar desert, it served as an oasis and was on the trade route between Gujarat coast and Central Asia.Bika also built a fort in this region in 1478 AD. The fort is famous by the name of Junagarh Fort. Maharaja Karan Singh ruled at this place from 1631 AD till 1639 AD and built the Karan Mahal Palace. In 1818, during the rule of Maharaja Surat Singh, Bikaner came under the rule of the British. After that, a lot of money was invested in renovating the Junagarh Fort.Badal Mahal was built by Maharaja Dungar Singh in 1872 AD. Maharaja Ganga Singh, who was one of the favourite princes of the British Viceroys, built the famous Ganga Mahal and Ganga Niwas Palace. This palace was designed by Sir Samuel Jacob. He named this palace 'Lalgarh Palace' and shifted his royal residence from Junagarh to Lalgarh.

This city lies on the northern point on the triangle of desert cities. The magnificent forts and palaces, created with delicacy in reddish-pink sandstone, bear testimony to its rich historical and architectural legacy. Surging lanes and colorful bazaars with bright and cheerful folks make Bikaner an interesting destination to explore. Bikaner is famous for its savory BikaneriBhujia as it is for its sweets.

Bikaner is also a center for Usta art. The products of Usta art have been the acquaintance of Bikaner for centuries.

Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University

Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University (SKRAU), Bikaner recognized under sec. 2f of UGC Act (erstwhile Rajasthan Agricultural University) was established on August 1, 1987 and change of name promulgated by the Governor of Rajasthan on 4th June,2009. The university is located on Bikaner -Sri Ganganagar highway on NH-15 in Beechwal of Bikaner district, Rajasthan. It is functioning in six districts covering three agro-climatic zones viz. Irrigated North Western Plains of Sri Ganganagar and Hanumangarh districts zone (Ib), Hyper-Arid Partially Irrigated Western Plain Zone (Ic) of Bikaner, Jaisalmer and Churu districts, Transitional plain of Inland Drainage of Jhunjhunu, and part of Churu district zone (IIa) under its territorial jurisdiction.

The University affirms its commitment to the cause of human resource development, research and extension education activities in agriculture and its allied subjects for inclusive societal development in nation building. It endeavors to keep pace with new frontiers of science & contemporary development to be socially and technically relevant through multidisciplinary efforts and optimizing organizational team performance aiming towards excellent and better visibility.

Under its governance, the university has three constituent colleges, Directorate of Research, Extension Education, Prioritization, Monitoring and Evaluation, Human Resource Development, Students' Welfare, Land Scaping and Revenue Generation, Central Workshop, Centre for Information Management and Computer Application, Central Library, University Security Office, Controller of Examination, Comptroller and Registrar Office and Office of Post Graduate Studies are all located in the main university campus.

The university carries out agricultural extension activities through the Directorate of Extension Education,7 KVKs Sri Ganganagar, Bikaner-I,II, Jaisalmer I& II, Jhunjhunu and Churu and an Agricultural Technology Information Center working to meet the requirements of the farmers in terms of viz. seeds of improved varieties, planting materials, diagnostic facilities, literature, etc. at one place situated on the H.Q.

The Seminar

Agriculture in India is dominated by small scale farming, which offers little or limited scope for horizontal expansion and, therefore, enhancing productivity from the limited land is the only option for increasing income level and improving rural livelihoods. The integration of various enterprises, namely crops, dairy, horticulture, poultry, goat & sheep rearing, piggery, fishery, agro-forestry and other allied enterprises including cottage industries etc. according to location-specific needs and demands is essential and indispensable. Each household combines its resources within the limits of their social and political contents to pursue a number of strategies such as various types of production and income generating activities. This emphasizes the need to develop understanding about the rural communities, their potentials, household livelihood management and participation and decision making in planning, management and implementation of different farm and non-farm works.

The empowerment and development of rural people and sensitization of research and extension systems about their roles and contributions are important.

Farmers make up about 24.8 per cent of India's total workforce, with over 118.9 million farmers spread across the length and breadth and majority belongs to small and marginal land groups. The food production in the country has multiplied by 3.7 times in last five decades (1965-2015), while population increased by 2.55 times during the period. This has resulted into 45% increase in per person food production, which made the country not only self sufficient in food, but also a net food exporting nation. Despite of this accomplished scenario in agriculture, the income of majority of farmers did not grow much. The farmers’ income remained low and rampant poverty prevailing in rural areas is manifestation of that. Due to ever increasing population and decline in per capita availability of land, practically there is no scope for horizontal expansion of land for agriculture. Stark realities of farmers’ suicide, starvation casualty, rural exodus to swelling urban slums for livelihood on one side and highly commercialized agriculture added with plunge of corporate sectors on the other present the diverse scenario of agricultural system in the country.

The focus of the farmers is not just surviving but to be viable and sustainable over the long run. It is, therefore, imperative that government policies should aim at boosting farm income, not farm production alone. Integrated farming approach is a reasonably stable arrangement of family enterprises to combat with challenges facing agriculture. It is a complex inter-related matrix of soils, plants, animals, implements, power, labour, capital and other allied inputs controlled in part by farm family and influenced by social factors. The approach aims at increasing income and employment from small-holding by integrating various farm enterprises and recycling crop residues and by products within the farm itself. Recently, the Government of India has made an announcement about doubling farmers’ income by 2022. Experts are judging the options and strategies for achieving this enviable target. One of the options is to evaluate the potential of age-old integrated farming system (IFS) enhancing farmers’ income within the reasonable time period. The holistic approach taking village as unit could provide best possible solution to the rising demand for food production, income stability and improvement of nutritional status of the small and marginal farmers within the socio-economic and biophysical/natural resources base of the area and hence, it could be considered a model land use plan for sustainable development of the locality in particular and farming community in general. In view of this, The present national seminar ‘Holistic Approach for Enhancing Agricultural Growth in Changing Rural Scenatio’ is designed to provide a platform for extension professionals, development agents, farmers and farmwomen, policy makers, administrators and NGOs including corporate sectors to deliberate and share their experience and expertise to work out appropriate strategy and develop a road-map to enhancing farm and non-farm productivity and thereby enhancing farmers’ income and nutritional security.
