A study on the status and dimension of rice production in Imphal West and Chandel district of Manipur shows that the state of Manipur particularly the valley districts contribute mainly in the production and productivity of rice as compare to the hill district. The analysis of the existing rice varieties about the production and productivity indicates the existence of yield gap across the improved varieties upto 17.84% in yield Gap-I, 12.56% in yield Gap-II in the valley districts and 19.66% in yield Gap-I and 17.58% in yield Gap-II in the hill districts due to the various technical, environmental, socio-economic and institutional problems and constraints. Interventions such as On-Farm Trial cum Testing, Front Line Demonstration, Scientific training, Seed Production, Field Day, Mobile Agro-Advisories, Method Demonstrations, Extension literatures, popular articles, Radio & TV Talks, improved farm mechanization, resource conservation technologies such as ICM, SRI, introduction of NANO urea, Drone application and climate resilient technologies and varietal diversification can minimize the yield gap of rice production and productivity scenario in the state of Manipur. Reviving and strengthening of irrigation infrastructures, effective implementation of Govt. schemes, financial inclusions along with sound agriculture state agricultural policy including the fertilizers delivery mechanisms can changed the socio-economic profile of the rice-growers and can ultimately fulfill or attain the self-reliant rice producing state.
