HISTORY
|
|
|
• India is a country predominantly based on Agriculture. Most of its population
(about 70% ) is engaged in Agriculture. Land is a basic input of agriculture
which is not only limited, but cultivable land continues to shrink owing to
increased intensity of non-productive utilization. Therefore, it is absolutely
necessary to increase the productivity per unit area so as to keep pace with the
requirement of food to ever increasing population. To achieve this goal,
availability of high quality seed, in adequate quantities, is of paramount
importance. In this very context, a project known as Tarai Development
Corporation (TDC), was launched on 29th June, 1969 with the assistance of World
Bank and Govt. of India. Prior to this, the work of seed production was being
accomplished by the Seed Production Department of the G.B. Pant University of
Agriculture & Technology.

• Under the auspices of Tarai Development Corporation (TDC) land reform works viz.
levelling, grading, development of irrigation facilities; electrification,
sinking of shallow and deep tube wells and import of agricultural implements
such as, tractors, combine harvesters and various imported parts were carried
out in order to provide basic inputs to the share holder/ seed producer for
efficient and quality seed production. The corporation's contribution to "Green
Revolution" received all around acclamation and applause. The government of
India and World Bank were so impressed with its efficiency, achievements, that
the corporation was taken as Mother Project, for establishing similar seed
project in other 5 state of the Country under National seed program (NSP) phase
I. Under NSP to II, launched in 1978, this corporation was restructured with
induction of capital from U.P. State Govt. and Govt.of India through NSC and it
started functioning under the name and style of "U.P. Seed and Tarai Development
corporation Ltd.(UPS & TDC)".
