Abstract
The Farmer FIRST Programme has successfully introduced and demonstrated a variety of on farm technological interventions to enhance farm income and productivity in rural areas of Uttar Pradesh, specifically in Fatehpur and Hamirpur districts. Focused on pulses and staple crops, the programme promoted improved sowing techniques, high-yielding and disease-resistant varieties, and effective pest management strategies. Notable outcomes include a 36% increase in net returns from line sowing of pigeon pea, a 42% yield improvement in wheat, and successful spring mungbean introduction, which yielded an average income of ₹103,748/ha. These interventions have enhanced income, food, and nutrition security, with farmers expressing a strong interest in adopting these technologies on a larger scale.
