Shri Vijay Jawaharlal Darda on the 1st August, 2014, continued:—

"Having regard to the fact that -

(a) Vidarbha is suffering from another agrarian crisis and persistent

suicides by the farmers;

(b) the region comprises eleven districts viz., Buldana, Akola,

Washim, Amravati, Yavatmal, Wardha, Nagpur, Bhandara,

Gondia, Chandrapur and Gadchiroli;

(c) in the past 17 years, close to 3 lakh farmers have committed

suicide and every hour two farmers take the extreme step

somewhere in India and most of them happen to be from

Vidarbha;

__________________________________

19TH

DECEMBER, 2014

(d) Vidarbha is mainly a rainfed farming region, the crops being

dependent on vagaries of monsoon which makes living of the

farmers unstable and difficult, because of uncertainty in yield and

income;

(e) due to lack of agro-based and cottage industries, employment and

monetary returns are meager;

(f) 85 per cent of the fields in Vidarbha are non-irrigated and on an

average, a farmer produces an average of three quintals (cotton)

per acre and earns around Rs. 15,000 for it but his input costs are

anywhere between Rs. 10,000 to 1,50,000 per acre; and

(g) loss making agrarian activity due to hostile pricing of cash crop

and open exploitation of trade is main cause of prevailing debt and

despair among farmers of Vidarbha,

this House is of the opinion that -

(i) the Centre should suspend immediately the farmers debt

recovery proceedings in Vidarbha and save them from the

dreaded recovery agents;

(ii) a package of Rs. 25,000 crore should be provided to

Vidarbha which would take care of the huge backlog for

the region, help sustainable crop promotion, support mega

micro irrigation schemes and other infrastructure

development in the region;

(iii) the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for cotton and

soyabean should match the cost of production with a 50 per

cent profit margin, new crop loan to be given to farmers

after waiving their existing debt dues and to bring new

technology in agriculture and irrigation;

(iv) a separate fund of Rs. 200 crore should be created to

provide financial assistance to farmers' widows and higher

education facilities to their wards as thousands of farmers'

widows from Vidarbha have huge expectations of a relief

and rehabilitation package;

266

RAJYA SABHA

(v) the Government should immediately establish a price

stabilization fund a national market for farm produce,

micro irrigation and water shed schems in drought prone

regions, crop loan facilities to landless farmers, fresh

increased NABARD fund for credit restoration as well as

initiatives to increase warehousing and rural connectivity

along with lifting APMC restrictions on marketing

agricultural produce in Vidarbha as promised by Hon'ble

Finance Minister in his budget speech;

(vi) the Union Finance Ministry should institute a credit line for

banks to extend a 20 year loan to Vidarbha farmers on the

lines of land development loans in the 1950s which should

take care of the farmer's consolidated debt and cover three

other components - the farmer's consumption needs over

the next 12 months, his investment on land development

and his margin money for crop loan and insurance;

(vii) the loan should be at zero per cent interest, with a

moratorium of five years for repayment for which the

centre can access the International Development

Association (IDA) of the World Bank to fund the term

loans;

(viii) as a follow-up to debt consolidation, the Centre and

Maharashtra Government should put in place a strategy to

make farming in Vidarbha a viable proposition, besides

irrigation works and horticulture programmes, the key

issues of farm products marketing and access to markets at

a feasible remunerative price should also be taken care of;

(ix) the other issues like the farmer's exposure to risks arising

from rainfall variability, pests, weather changes and

technology upgradation (Bt cotton, for instance) and, above

all, input quality should be looked at simultaneously;

(x) the Centre and State should recognize the role of NGOs

and offer full support in terms of finances, logistics and

organizations as the farmer reposes more confidence in the

NGOs than in Government officials;

267

19TH

DECEMBER, 2014

(xi) the government should shortlist the NGOs and designate at

least two (or more, if possible) for each district and put

them on the job in eight weeks flat;

(xii) the increased stability in crop production over the year can

be gained by improving the natural resource management

and crop management systems and providing alternate crop

production technologies matching weather conditions;

(xiii) there should be optimum use of natural resources viz.,

rainfall, land and water and minimum soil and water losses

and degradation of environment for the efficient

management of land and water resources on watershed

basis which not only minimizes the risk of soil erosion and

crops failure but also increases the productivity of land per

unit area and time; and

(xiv) useful information for crop monitoring should be provided

to investigate droughts and to mitigate them by proper

rainwater management and to forecast suitable time of

sowing and expected yields of sorghum and cotton crops in

Vidarbha."

(3) Shri Avinash Pande moved the following Resolution:—

―Having regard to the fact that:-

(a) the Constitution of India envisages a system wherein the Union

Executive is held accountable to the Union Legislature, and the

Union Legislature is held accountable to the citizens of India;

(b) separation of powers between the Legislature, Executive and

Judiciary has been recognized to be part of the basic structure

of the Constitution of India by the Supreme Court of India in

the landmark case of Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala;

(c) the Supreme Court of India in the landmark case of Ram

Jawaya v. State of Punjab, upheld that the functions of the

different parts or branches of the Government have been

sufficiently differentiated and consequently it can very well be

said that our Constitution does not contemplate assumption by

one organ or part of the State, the functions that essentially

belong to another;

(d) the functions of the Union Legislature under the Constitution

are clearly and unequivocally restricted to lawmaking and

ensuring accountability in the exercise of Executive powers by

the Government;

(e) the Union Executive is vested with the powers of

implementation of laws enacted by Parliament and limited

powers of legislation to aid implementation within the

Constitutional framework;

(f) there is nothing in the Constitution of India which empowers

the Union Legislature or individual Members of Parliament to

undertake the executive function of implementing the laws

enacted by Parliament or Schemes formulated by the Union

Government; and

(g) the Guidelines for Vigilance and Monitoring Committees at

State and District levels were formulated by the Ministry of

Rural Development for the constitution of State and District

Level Vigilance and Monitoring Committees to provide a

crucial role to sitting Members of Parliament to ensure the

effective monitoring of the implementation of and expenditure

upon rural development programmes of the Ministry of Rural

Development,

270

RAJYA SABHA

this House is of the opinion:-

(i) that the Guidelines of the Saansad Adarsh Gram Yojana

(hereinafter ―the Scheme‖) issued by the Ministry of Rural

Development on October 11, 2014 are vague, unclear and

incapable of implementation in its present form;

(ii) that the powers sought to be vested in Members of Parliament

under the Scheme guidelines create a conflict of interest for

Members of Parliament who are nominated to the State and

District Level Vigilance and Monitoring Committees pursuant to

the Guidelines for Vigilance and Monitoring Committees at State

and District levels to monitor Rural Development Programmes

formulated by the Ministry of Rural Development and hamper

the effective discharge of their duties to:

(a) supervise, exercise vigilance and monitor the

implementation of programmes of the Ministry of Rural

Development, and

(b) monitor the flow of funds through various channels;

(iii) that the Guideline no. 12(a) designates Members of Parliament as

agencies of implementation under the Scheme by vesting in

Members of Parliament the following powers:

(a) identify and select the Adarsh Gram,

(b) initiate start-up activities to build up the right environment,

and

(c) mobilise additional resources to the extent possible,

particularly from Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and

philanthropists;

(iv) that the Scheme guidelines, by making individual Members of

Parliament interested parties in the actual implementation of the

Scheme and through it, other Centrally Sponsored Schemes,

indirectly curtail the power of the Parliament to question the

Government and hold it accountable in respect of the

implementation of the same;

271

19TH

DECEMBER, 2014

(v) that Guideline no. 12(b), by designating the Ministry of Rural

Development as the nodal ministry, attempts to empower the

Executive to hold individual legislators accountable to the

Executive;

(vi) that Guideline no. 10 of the Scheme, which mandates that a

facilitatory role is to be played by Members of Parliament in the

planning process of the Village Development Plan, by

spearheading interactions with the Gram Sabha, tampers with the

three-tier federal structure of governance, and tantamounts to a

sanctioning of undue influence and interference into the

functioning of bodies of local self-government by the members

of the Union Legislature;

(vii) that the Scheme Guidelines permit collusive and corrupt

practices as they do not specify:

(a) that Members of Parliament should not be permitted to adopt

villages where they own any property, business or financial

interests,

(b) the manner in which Non-Government Organizations

(NGOs) and expert agencies are to be selected and appointed

to conduct baseline surveys;

(c) the manner in which Members of Parliament are to liaison

with the private sector to raise and mobilize Corporate Social

Responsibility (CSR) funds from companies; or

(d) the manner in which the Scheme will be implemented, if

permissible at all, in times when the Election Commission‘s

Model Code of Conduct is in force;

(viii) that the Scheme and its guidelines, in present form, tamper with

the delicate system of checks and balances in the exercise of

powers of the Union Legislature and Executive by vesting

executive powers in Members of Parliament to implement

schemes and policies formulated by the Central Government and

therefore, must be thoroughly reviewed and revised;

(ix) that the question of the modalities of implementation of the

Scheme's guidelines within the Constitutional framework ought

to be referred to the appropriate Department Related Standing

Committee for consideration; and

272

RAJYA SABHA

(x) that the enforcement of the Scheme be kept in abeyance until

such time the Committee has deliberated and decided upon the

questions referred to it."

Resolution.

―(i) expresses its grave concern at the numerous delays in the prosecution

of Zakiur Rahman Lakhvi, accused conspirator in the terrorist attack

individuals and the apathetic attitude of the Government of Pakistan

which resulted in the grant of bail to him;
