Intensive Agricultural Area Programme (IAAP) - 1964
The primary goal of the IAAP was to expand the benefits of intensive agricultural practices, which were initially successful in the IADP, to a wider geographical area.
The programme emphasized increasing the production of key food crops such as wheat, rice, millets, as well as commercial crops like cotton, sugarcane, potato, and pulses.
objectives
High-yielding varieties (HYV) of seeds
Increased use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides
Improved irrigation facilities
Provision of agricultural credit
Marketing support
Imparting technical knowledge and skills to farmers
High Yielding Varieties Programme (HYVP ) - 1966
Objectives
To significantly increase the productivity of food grains. The core goal was to produce substantially more food from the same amount of land.
To achieve self-sufficiency in food by 1970-71. This was in response to chronic food shortages and dependence on imports.
To modernize Indian agriculture by promoting the adoption of new technologies and inputs.
Intensive Area Development Programme (IADP) - 1960
Objectives
The IADP was the first major experiment by the Indian government to increase agricultural production significantly.
It aimed for a rapid increase in food grain production to achieve self-sufficiency
The IADP is considered a crucial precursor to the Green Revolution.
It demonstrated the effectiveness of intensive cultivation practices and paved the way for the wider adoption of high-yielding varieties and modern agricultural technologies in subsequent years
National Oilseeds Development Projects (NODP) - 1986
Objective
The primary objective of the NODP was to increase the production of oilseeds in India and reduce the country's dependence on imports of edible oils.
Implementing special projects for the intensive cultivation of major oilseed crops like groundnut, rapeseed-mustard, soybean, and sunflower.sesame, safflower, and niger.
