National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA) - Objectives, Strategies and Activities


In order to increase the productivity of agriculture, National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture Plan has been started by the central government in rainfed faces. Through the scheme, the main objective of the government is to increase nutrition and increase livelihoods with water use capacity.

National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA)

  • These schemes have been designed to increase agricultural productivity in the regional rainfed areas.
  • Much of the focus is on interesting farming and water keeps it on the efficiency of how you can conserve water in the soil and how to improve the health of the soil and synergizing resources in Conservation.
  • NMSA will work on the water that will work on efficiency to increase the efficiency of water use. Second, how to manage Nutrient and livelihood diversification

The Main Objectives of This Mission

  1. The main objective of this mission is to make agriculture more productive and sustainable.
  2. Conserve and protect natural resources such as soil and water so that these resources can be used for a long time.
  3. Make a soil fertility map of every place by testing the soil and then using macro and micronutrients based on the test, Using the right amount of chemicals, etc.
  4. Use water accurately and sparingly, do not waste the water, so that more crops can be grown in less water. "More Crop Per Drop"
  5. Increase the working capacity of every farmer.
  6. It has been run on a pilot model, in which a few villages are selected in a district to increase its productivity, the village that is selected is rainfed.

The strategy of this mission

  1. These missions will increase the integrated farming system, covering crops to enhance the integrated farming system, Livestock and fishing, plantation and pasture-based farming to increase livelihood opportunities, To ensure food safety and reduce risks.  To help with all this.
  2. To popularize the technology of Resource Conservative, People should learn to use this technology so that more and more people can use this technology to increase their production.
  3. Promote effective management of available water resources and increase water use efficiency through the application of technologies.
  4. Increase the agronomic practices more and more, so that more productivity can happen, more production can come, Use chemicals properly and do not use chemicals without means.
  5. Preparation of database by Land Use Survey of soul Resources.
  6. Promoting Location and Specific Integrated Nutrients Management Practices to Enhance Health of soil.
  7. To increase crop productivity and maintain the quality of land and water so that it does not deteriorate. National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture

The NMSA has four major program components or activities

1. One of the most important activities of NMSA is to develop the rainfed area -

  • Rainfed area development adopts a sector-based approach to the development and conservation of agricultural systems and natural resources.  This component is formulated in the Heads Water Heads Watershed Plus Framework, ie, natural resources available through water resources development and soil conservation activities / interventions available under the assets of MGNREGS, NWDPDRA, RVP and FPR, RKVY, IWMP, etc.  .  Is the basis.  Possible use.  to find out.  This component introduces a suitable system of agriculture by adding value to several components of agriculture such as agro-based income generating activities and crops, horticulture, livestock, fisheries, forestry.  In addition, soil testing / soil health card based nutrient management practices, agricultural development, resource conservation and crop selection suited to local agro-climatic conditions are also promoted under this component. National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture

2. Very new technology has been put in the farmer's field to use water properly.
  • This technique is known as On Form Water Management (OFWM) focuses primarily on increasing water use efficiency - by promoting efficiently on agricultural water management technologies and equipment.  It not only focuses on application efficiency but will also emphasize effective harvesting and management of rainwater combined with the rad component.  Assistance will be increased to adopt water conservation technologies, efficient distribution, and distribution systems, etc.

3. Managing the health of the soil.

  • This technique is known as soil health management (SHM), aimed at the location as well as crop-specific sustainable soil health management, including residue management, organic farming practices that combine soil and soil  - Micronutrient management, appropriate land use discretionary chemicals, land-based erosion/erosion capacity.  Support will be provided for various better packages of practices based on land use and soil characteristics generated through Geographic Information System (GIS) based thematic maps and extensive field level scientific surveys based on land and soil characteristics.

4. Monitoring, modeling and networking the climatic changes that are taking place.


  • This technique is known as Climate Change Sustainable Agriculture Monitoring, Modeling and Networking CCSAMMN provides in the field of climate change management and integrates information related to climate change (creation and dissemination of knowledge/knowledge for land/farmers / scientific establishments) through climate change adaptation/mitigation research/model projects.  Agricultural system suitable for local agriculture - climatic conditions. National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture
