Timely Reporting Scheme (TRS)
| Title | Timely Reporting Scheme (TRS) |
| Objectives | To obtain reliable and timely estimates of area under principal crops in each season with break up of area into irrigated/unirrigated, traditional and high yielding varieties of crops and also land utilization statistics which is used for designing of crop estimation survey by conducting priority Girdwari in 20% selected villages every year. This scheme is implemented in the States that are cadastrally surveyed. In addition TRS provides the sampling frame for crop cutting experiments |
| Type | Centrally Sponsored |
| Salient Features | Land Record Manual in different States contain instructions on period of crop enumeration and procedure for compilation of crop area at village and successive higher levels. The time schedule is also prepared. The expectation is that crop abstract will become available by the time the final forecast for different crops become due. Experience has shown that this does not happen and there has been considerable time lag in the availability of reliable and correct statistics of area sown under different crops. This has greatly handicapped planning and policy administration. TRS provide for consolidation of area statistics through advance enumeration of substantial number (20%) of villages selected at random. |
| Pattern of assistance | Shared between Center and States on 50:50 Basis. |
| Eligibility | This is a staff oriented scheme for collection of agricultural statistics using only Government machinery. NGOs and others organizations are not eligible to participate. |
| Procedure | The basic approach of the scheme is to organise selection of 20% villages and of requiring the primary workers to complete the crop area enumeration in selected villages in tune with the sowing of different crops in the season and by suitably advancing the same, when needed. The early crop enumeration organized through TRS facilitates the frame for Crop Estimation Surveys. The special emphasis on timeliness and accuracy of crop area enumeration in a large sample of villages bring about and over all improvement in the system of collection and compilation of statistics of area under crops over a period of five years. |
