Rajasthan: Agriculture Statistics (Timely Reporting Scheme)
Timely Reporting Scheme supported by Indian Government is being executed in Rajasthan since 1972. In Timely Reporting Scheme, it is proposed to enter at swift, consistent and precise approximations of locale instantly after the sowing of primary crops that are, Rabi, Zaid and Kharif in Rajasthan on account of definite area listing in the chosen 20 % villages through trial survey. These approximations dole out the Government to evaluate agricultural predictions during the current year and to take rapid policy actions concerning agricultural fabrication, exports and imports of the agricultural productions.
The main ideas behind Timely Reporting Scheme are:
- To get hold of unswerving and statistically specific approximations of area of chief crops instantly after planting of crops is accomplished
- To get hold of the approximations of area of non-irrigated and irrigated crops disjointedly
- To get hold of the estimates of locale under diversities of crops
- To acquire the estimates of land consumption due to 9 fold categorization
Crop Inventory
The agricultural year in Rajasthan casing the period from July 1 to June 30 is separated into 3 parts:
- Kharif
- Zaid Rabi
- Rabi
| Season |
Crops |
| Kharif |
Rice, Bajra, Jowar, Tur, Maize, Sesamum, Groundnut, Cotton, Castorseed, Soya bean, Sugarcane |
| Rabi |
Wheat, Gram, Barley, Mustard and Rape, Taramira, Linseed |
| Zaid Rabi |
Jowar, Maize, Bajra, Moong, Moth, Urad, Fruits, Chaula, Tobacco, Vegetables, Spices, Small millets, chillies,Fodder |
Under Timely Reporting Scheme, approximations of area of major crops in Rajasthan are geared up on account of actual inventory done by Patwaries in a section of 20 % villages chosen by linear methodical variety.
