Project Approach

Implemented in 04 corridors of Bihar covering all agro e project promotes lesser land e climate adaptation
climatic zones of the State namely Samastipur- levelling, direct seeded rice, raised strategies are
Darbhanga, Katihar-Purnea, Bihar Sharif-Patna and bed planter, maize with arhar mainstreamed into
Bhagalpur-Munger. e project aims to improve the intercropping, alternate policies and programmes
adaptive capacity of rural community to climate change wetting/drying irrigation in rice, through better
