We also
thank Commissioner of Agriculture, Director of Agriculture, District officals of the Department
of Agriculture, and scientists in charge of the districts for implementing the Bhoochetana
project. We sincerely acknowledge the contributions of all the consortium partners who

facilitators, lead farmers and farmers who were involved in making this publication possible.","The Government of Karnataka has upscaled the learnings from the Sujala-ICRISAT initiative to
enhance agricultural productivity in the dryland areas of the state by bridging the yield gap between
farmers’ fields and achievable yields with the help of science-based productivity enhancement
interventions. The mission project on rainfed agriculture called “Bhoochetana” was launched
by the Government of Karnataka during 2009-10 to benefit dryland farmers in 30 districts. The
principle of consortium, convergence, capacity building and collective action as proposed by
ICRISAT to address the issues of efficiency, economics, equity and environmental protection was
adopted. The consortium partners involved in Bhoochetana are three State Agricultural Universities
(UAS, Bangalore; Dharwad; and Raichur;), the Watershed Development Department (WDD), the
Department of Economics and Statistics (DES), and other line departments of the Government of
Karnataka, ICRISAT and the Department of Agriculture which is the nodal agency for the mission
project. Farm facilitators and Lead farmers have assumed the role of trainers to train large numbers
of farmers on collective action and capacity building. During the second and third year, project
activities were expanded to all 30 districts in addition to the six districts of the Sujala watershed
program where soil health mapping had already been completed, along with participatory selection
of appropriate cultivars of the major crops. In all 30 districts efforts have been made to collect soil
samples by adopting a stratified soil sampling method and covering a large number of villages...","2015","published",,,,,"ICRISAT","Patancheru, Telangana, India",,"172",,,,,,,"ICRISAT","RP - IDC",,,,,,,,,,"",,"https://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?hl=en&q=Bhoochetana+%3A+A+Compendium+of+Success+Stories%2C+Research+Report+IDC-3&btnG=","pub",,"Government of Karnataka","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
