Department of Food Security & Agriculture Development Govt of Sikkim

Sikkim formally became part of the Indian Union in 1975 as India's 22nd state. Spreading over an area of 7,096 sq kms, this landlocked state, Sikkim comprises of 4

Districts, 9 Subdivisions, 453 Revenue Blocks and 452 villages. Situated at an altitude of approximately 27 deg. North and longitude of approximately

88 deg. East.  It has a very thin population of only 6.41 lakhs (2011 census) with a population density

of 76 per sq. km.   Out of the 4 districts, the East Sikkim district is the most populous one.   Farming and tourism are the mainstay of public life.

Land use pattern of east Sikkim Total geographical area 95,400 ha Total forest area =72,668 ha Net sown area: -18,122 ha Fallow land      =7,849 ha Land put on non- agricultural use   =4,871 ha Cultivable land =10,500 ha Pasture and grass land =1652.96ha Gross cropped area : =31900 ha Cropping intensity =150% Major crops=Rice, Maize, Millet, Buckwheat , Rajma , Urd .

The areas covered only under HYV and Hybrid are included in Seed |Rolling Plan.

Crop wise Seed Requirement plan 2013to 2015;- Marginal increase in area coverage in most of the kharif and rabi crops.

Crop variety wise seed production Plan 2013 to 2015 The seed production of Paddy remained constant from last year; i.e

2013 and 2014 ( 1200 qtls but the target may slightly increase in 2015-16 ( 1250 qtls ) The seed produced will be fully organic which farmers may get premium price.

\where as crop production of other major crops are in increasing order by 187 qtls over existing figure of production .

Advance arrangement to meet the shortfall in production

Comparative Analysis of Seed Rolling Plan

Advance arrangement to meet the shortfall in production

Some old and newer varieties are been included as per the availability of varieties

in case of shortfall , the shortfall on seed requirement is filled up by the farm saved seeds which are organic in nature and channelized through seed village scheme where the growers are certified registered farmers. The seed certification will be done under the strict supervision of designated seed inspector.

Comparative Analysis of Seed Rolling

Plan-contd:

Rajmash , Mustard and Buckwheat are the major cereals Pusles and Oilseed in Rabi season. Most of the fallow land left out by Kharif Maize in dry land and Paddy from irrigated areas are covered by Mustard and Buckwheat var , Meethey.
