Monitoring Mechanism:Monitoring Mechanism:Monitoring Mechanism:Monitoring Mechanism:

The Department of Agriculture and Cooperation places special

emphasis on Monitoring and Evaluation of its programs, being

implemented all over the country. The Department has evolved a

comprehensive multi-level system of monitoring and evaluation of its

programs. The Salient features of the Monitoring Mechanism are as

follows:

a) Monitoring mechanisms are in-built, in the guidelines of each

scheme of the Department, so as to ensure that the objectives of

the schemes are achieved.

b) The Central Sector Plan Schemes and Centrally Sponsored

Schemes are also monitored through periodical progress reports

depicting both financial and physical progress of the programs

received from the State Governments and the Implementing

Agencies.

c) The State Governments and Implementing Agencies are required

to submit performance-cum-achievement reports soon after end

of the financial year.

d) The Implementing Agencies of the Plan Schemes are required to

maintain subsidiary accounts of the Government grant, which are

subjected to normal process of statutory audit.

e) Concurrent Evaluation studies are undertaken through reputed

and independent research institutions/ organizations from time to

time to evaluate performance of various schemes/ programs at

the field level and to assess the impact of the programs.

f) State Level Sanctioning Committee (SLSC) is constituted for

sanctioning projects and monitoring progress of sanctioned

projects/ schemes under Rashtriya Kisan Vikas Yojana (RKVY).

The National Agricultural Insurance Scheme (NAIS) is monitored

-:: 3 ::-

through State Governments and Implementing Agencies, who

send periodic reports regarding coverage and payment of claims.

State Level Coordination Committees on Crop Insurance of

different States meet twice a year and the same are attended by

officials from the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation.

g) The other important Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Oilseeds,

Pulses, Oilpalm & Maize (ISOPOM) is monitored by a National

Level Monitoring Committee (NALMOT) comprising officials from

the Directorate of Oilseeds & Pulses Development, ICAR, SAU

and State Departments of Agriculture. These teams regularly

undertake field visits in the ISOPOM Implementing States to

monitor the implementation of various components of ISOPOM.

Based on their field/ tour reports, states are advised to take

corrective measures.

h) The National Food Security Mission launched recently as a

Centrally Sponsored Scheme will be funded by the Central

Government. The Scheme aims to increase production and

productivity of wheat, rice and pulses on a sustainable basis so

as to ensure food security for the country. There are a series of

program interventions, designed to reach resource poor farmers

with the objective of augmenting productivity from their land.

Panchayati Raj institutions will play a central role not only in

selection of beneficiaries and identifying priority areas, but also

in the entire gamut of activities of the Mission. A strong

component of project management, monitoring and evaluation

would steer the scheme on course for achieving the Mission’s

objectives.

Public Information System:Public Information System:Public Information System:Public Information System:

1.1.1.1. Agriculture MarketingAgriculture MarketingAgriculture MarketingAgriculture Marketing

Marketing ReformsMarketing ReformsMarketing ReformsMarketing Reforms

Agriculture sector needs well functioning markets to drive

growth, employment and economic prosperity in rural areas of the

country. In order to provide dynamism and efficiency into the

marketing system, large investments are required for the

development of post harvest and cold chain infrastructure nearer to

the farmers’ field. A major portion of this investment is expected

from the private sector, for which an appropriate regulatory and

policy environment is necessary. Accordingly, this Ministry

suggested amendment to the State APMC Act so as to promote

investment in marketing infrastructure, motivating corporate sector

to undertake direct marketing and to facilitate a national integrated

market. The Ministry of Agriculture also formulated a model law on

agricultural marketing for guidance and adoption by the State

Governments. The model law enables any person, grower or local

authority to establish new markets in any area, removes compulsion

on growers to sell their produce through existing regulated markets,

allows establishment of direct purchase centers and farmers

markets. The model law also provides an institutional framework to

regulate and promote contract farming arrangements in the country,

to be an effective method of linking small farm sector to sources of

extension advice, mechanization, seeds, fertilizer and credit, and

most importantly an assured and profitable market.

After due consultations, States have in general agreed to

support the reform measures, and to amend the APMC Act on the

lines suggested in the model law. While the Government of Bihar has

repealed its APMC Act w.e.f. 1st September, 2006, the States of

Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Chhattisgarh, Goa,

Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh,

Maharashtra, Nagaland, Orissa, Rajasthan, Sikkim, and Tripura have

notified the amendments in their APMC Acts. The APMC Act

implemented by the State Government of Tamil Nadu, reportedly

provides for the reforms suggested in the model Act. There is no

APMC Act in the States/ UTs of Kerala, Manipur, Andaman & Nicobar

Islands, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu and Lakshadweep and

hence they do not require any amendments. Three States have

-:: 89 ::-

amended their APMC Acts partially, which are, Haryana (Only

Contract Farming), Punjab (applicable in U.T. of Chandigarh) and NCT

of Delhi (Only Direct Marketing). The State Governments of

Jharkhand, J&K, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Puducheri, Uttar Pradesh,

Uttarakhand and West Bengal are yet to take action for amending

their APMC Acts.

With a view to ensuring effective implementation of the

reforms notified by the State Governments under their respective

APMC Acts, the Ministry of Agriculture has formulated Model APMC

For making extension system farmer driven and farmer

accountable by way of new institutional arrangement for technology

dissemination, a new scheme for support to state extension

programme for extension reforms has been approved. The

Agriculture Technology Management Agency (ATMA) at district level

will operationalise the extension reforms. The operationalisation of

extension reforms would be with the active participation of farmers/

farmer groups, NGOs, Krishi Vigyan Kendras, Panchayati Raj

Institutions and other stakeholders operating at district level and

below. To further strengthen the extension system, the following

new provisions have been made in the ATMA programme:

o Farm Schools in the field of outstanding farmers are to be

promoted at Block/Gram Panchayat level.

o Farmer-to-farmer extension support within the village would

also be promoted.

o Funding window has been provided at both state and

district levels for implementing innovative extension

activities not specifically covered under the Programme.

o Farmers’ Awards are to be instituted at block, district and

state levels.

o Community Radio Stations (CRS) to be set up by KVKs

would be promoted under the Programme.

-:: 90 ::-

o Non-Governmental implementing agencies would be

encouraged by providing the flexibility of having Extension

Work Plans prepared and approved at the state level.

Minimum 10 per cent of outlay of the Programme is to be

utilized through them. Non-governmental implementing

agencies (excluding the corporate sector) would also be

eligible for service charge up to a maximum of 10 percent

of the cost of the extension activities implemented through

them. A dedicated funding window is available for

implementation of extension activities through agri-

preneurs.

The Scheme on Mass Media Support has been recast to

enhance its coverage and relevance of contents. The Kisan Call

Centre services have been strengthened by making such centres

operational for 16 hours on all days. The scheme of “Agri-clinics &

Agri-business Centres” has been launched, to provide fee-based

extension and other services to farmers by agriculture graduates in

self-employment mode.

3333.... Plant ProtectionPlant ProtectionPlant ProtectionPlant Protection Reform Measures Reform Measures Reform Measures Reform Measures

Plant Protection activities are required to be strengthened

with major emphasis on developing systems for enabling the

farmers to adopt preventive measures for managing pests and

diseases. The pest management approach is driven by the cardinal

principle of Integrated Pest Management through participatory

approach by the farmers. A major ICT initiative is being taken up to

expand pest surveillance and to create a national data base on the

trends of pest build up in various parts of the country. Effort will be

made to bring convergence among various agencies involved in

pest surveillance. This is expected to enhance the effectiveness of

the advisories to the State Governments.

Another important policy initiative proposed to be taken is to

reconstitute National Plant Protection Training Institute into an

autonomous society by the name, “National Institute of Plant Health

Management”. This is mainly aimed at stepping up of capacity

building initiatives and creation of trained manpower both in public

and private sector in plant protection, quarantine, pesticide residue

management, SPS issues, etc. The NPPTI, will take up training

-:: 91 ::-

programmes in the private sector in the area of quarantine and SPS

issues. It is also proposed to develop a model of public-private

partnership for providing farmer-specific crop-specific, location-

specific pest management advisories for high value crops. This

model will be tested through a pilot in selected States. Another

initiative is to promote decentralized production and supply of bio-

control agents to the farmers at village level through women Self-

Help Groups, farmers’ associations, commodity interest groups, etc.

In order to bring transparency in the system of registration of

pesticides and quarantine activities, computerized work-flow

systems are proposed to be implemented.

NATIONAL POLICY FOR FARMERS 2007.NATIONAL POLICY FOR FARMERS 2007.NATIONAL POLICY FOR FARMERS 2007.NATIONAL POLICY FOR FARMERS 2007.

The importance of agriculture in the socio-economic fabric of

India can be realized from the fact that majority of the country’s

population depends on agriculture. Indian agriculture made

significant progress in the post independence era particularly in the

wake of the Green Revolution. The increased production of

foodgrains, horticultural produce, fish and milk are some indicators

which reflect the success of our macro economic and agricultural

policies in achieving self-sufficiency in food production. These

macro level successes, however, conceal many harsh ground

realities relating to our agricultural development. In several regions

of the country, the yields of several crops have been stagnating, 60%

of our cropped area is still un-irrigated and farming continues to be a

gamble with and highly dependent on monsoon. Due to erratic

rainfall, farmers often face disasters like drought and flood which

cause severe instability in crop yields and income of the farmers.

The problems of poverty and mal-nutrition continue to affect small

and marginal farmers and landless labourers. While the yields of the

crops are stagnating, the prices of most of our agricultural

commodities have remained depressed in both the national and

international markets, which discourage the farmers from risking

fresh investment in agriculture. Improving farmers’ access to new

technologies would be crucial for productivity growth, cost

effectiveness and profitability of Indian agriculture. Farmers often

face the risks of not only natural calamities but also of sudden pest

attacks, diseases and market failures which threaten their income

stability and livelihood security. These challenges of Indian

-:: 92 ::-

agriculture and the present conditions of farmers call for a

comprehensive review of our policies and programmes.

There is felt a need for an in-depth analysis of the measures taken by

Government that affect the well being of farmers and for laying down

a framework for improving the productivity and value addition in the

agriculture sector and ameliorating the lot of farmers.

(ii) In this scenario, the National Commission on Farmers (NCF)

was constituted by the Government in February 2004 and then re-

constituted in November 2004, under the chairmanship of Dr. M.S.

Swaminathan. The terms of reference included, inter alia, working

out a comprehensive medium term strategy for food and nutrition

security, methods of enhancing productivity, profitability and

sustainability of the major farming systems in different agro-climatic

regions of the country, suggest measures to attract and retain

educated youth in farming, recommend measures for the flow of

credit to the agriculture sector etc. NCF submitted five Reports and

“Revised Draft National Policy for Farmers” to the Government.

Based on the key recommendations made by the Commission in its

“Revised Draft National Policy for Farmers” and the consultations

held with the Central Ministries and Departments and the State

Governments, the Government of India has approved the “National National National National

Policy for Farmers 2007Policy for Farmers 2007Policy for Farmers 2007Policy for Farmers 2007”.

(iii) The major goals of the Policy, inter alia, include improving

economic viability of farming by substantially increasing the net

income of farmers, to protect and improve land, water, bio-diversity

and genetic resources essential for sustained increase in the

productivity, profitability and stability of major farming systems:

developing support services including seeds, irrigation, power,

machinery and implements, fertilizers, and credit at affordable prices

in adequate quantities etc. Major policy provisions incorporated in

the National Policy for Farmers, 2007, inter alia, include:-

a) Focus will be on the economic well-being of the farmers in

addition to the production and productivity.

b) Asset Reforms: To ensure that a farmer household in

villages either possesses or has access to productive

assets or market driven skills.

-:: 93 ::-

c) Water use efficiency: The concept of maximizing yield and

income per unit of irrigation water in all the crop production

programmes would be accorded priority with stress on

awareness and efficiency of water use.

d) New technologies like biotechnology, information and

communication technology (ICT), renewable energy

technology, space applications and nano-technology would

be encouraged for improving productivity per unit of land

and water on a sustainable basis.

e) National Agricultural Biosecurity System would be

established to organize a coordinated agricultural

biosecurity programme.

f) Seeds & Soil Health: Good quality seeds, disease free

planting material and soil health enhancement hold the key

to raising farm productivity. Every farmer is to be issued

with a soil health passbook containing integrated

information on farm soils with corresponding advisories.

g) Support Services for Women: Appropriate support services

like crèches, child care centres, and adequate nutrition

needed by women working in fields would be funded.

h) Credit & Insurance: The financial services would be

galvanized for timely, adequate and easy reach to the

farmers at reasonable interest rates.

i) Gyan Chaupals at Village level with the help of ICT and farm

schools in the fields of outstanding farmers to promote

farmer to farmer learning would be set up through State

Governments for strengthening extension services.

j) Necessary steps would be taken to put in place an

appropriate social security scheme for farmers.

k) Minimum Support Price (MSP) mechanism is to be

implemented effectively across the country so as to ensure

remunerative prices for farm produce.

l) Food Security basket is to be enlarged to include nutritious

millets such as bajra, jowar, ragi and millets, mostly grown

in dryland farming areas.

(iv) Many of the provisions contained in the National Policy for

Farmers 2007 are already under implementation by various Central

Ministries and Departments and the State Governments, through

several centrally sponsored schemes and programmes. Further,

-:: 94 ::-

several schemes and programmes like National Food Security

Mission/ Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana are launched or proposed in

the Eleventh Plan period, which, once implemented, would augment

the current schemes and programmes facilitating operationalisation

of the policy. Apart from these schemes and programmes, concerted

actions are taken through central assistance to the States for

various activities connected to agriculture and allied sectors and

special/relief/rehabilitation packages, whenever occasion arises.

Action is also constantly taken by the Central Ministries and

Departments through various organizations, institutions and

research and training institutes under their control and through other

autonomous agencies. These ongoing programmes can be

effectively utilized to implement various policy provisions for welfare

of farmers.

(v) In pursuance of the decisions of NDC, specially convened for

the agriculture sector on 29th May 2007, the Government has

launched two new schemes i.e. the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana

and the National Food Security Mission with the objectives of

providing incentives to the States to increase public investment in

agriculture and allied sectors and to improve productivity of

foodgrains to achieve self-sufficiency on sustainable basis. These

two programmes are expected to go a long way in realizing the

provisions of the National Policy for Farmers 2007 through State

specific de-centralized strategy taking into account the agro-

climatic and other local conditions as reflected in the District action

plans for agriculture and allied sectors.

Looking at the importance of rainfed areas, a new scheme

entitled “Rainfed Area Development Programme” addressing the

specific needs of rainfed areas has been proposed in the XI Plan. The

scheme of Rainfed Area Development Programme was chalked out in

consultation with NRAA. The scheme will be implemented by the

Department of Agriculture & Cooperation in collaboration with NRAA.

About 22 lakh ha area is proposed to be developed during the XI Five

Year Plan under the Rainfed Area Development Programme. The

Planning Commission has allocated an outlay of Rs.2,500 crores for

implementation of this scheme during the XI Plan. The scheme has

been refered to the Planning Commission for approval.

6. Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY)

Concerned by the slow growth in the Agriculture and allied

sectors, the National Development Council (NDC), in its meeting held

on 29th May, 2007 resolved that a special Additional Central

Assistance Scheme (RKVY) be launched. The NDC resolved that

agricultural development strategies must be reoriented to meet the

needs of farmers and called upon the Central and State governments

to evolve a strategy to rejuvenate agriculture.

The Department of Agriculture, in compliance of the above

resolution and in consultation with the Planning Commission, has

prepared the guidelines for the RKVY scheme

-:: 96 ::-

The RKVY aims at achieving 4% annual growth in the

agriculture sector during the XI Plan period, by ensuring a holistic

development of Agriculture and allied sectors. The main objectives

of the scheme are :

(i) To incentivise the states so as to increase public

investment in Agriculture and allied sectors.

(ii) To provide flexibility and autonomy to states in the

process of planning and executing Agriculture and allied

sector schemes.

(iii) To ensure the preparation of agriculture plans for the

districts and the states based on agro-climatic

conditions, availability of technology and natural

resources.

(iv) To ensure that the local needs/crops/priorities are better

reflected in the agricultural plans of the states.

(v) To achieve the goal of reducing the yield gaps in

important crops, through focussed interventions.

(vi) To maximize returns to the farmers in Agriculture and

allied sectors.

(vii) To bring about quantifiable changes in the production

and productivity of various components of Agriculture

and allied sectors by addressing them in a holistic

manner.

The RKVY will be a State Plan Scheme. The eligibility for

assistance under the scheme would depend upon the amount

provided in State Plan Budgets for Agriculture and allied sectors,

over and above the base line percentage expenditure incurred by the

State Governments on Agriculture and allied sectors.

The pattern of funding is 100% Central grant and the eventual

goal is that the additional investments made through the RKVY

scheme will lead to at least 4% growth in agriculture. The states are

given sufficient flexibility under the scheme to make appropriate

local choices so that the outcomes are as envisaged in the RKVY

objectives.

7. National Food Security Mission

The National Food Security Mission launched recently as a

centrally sponsored scheme will be funded by the Central

Government. The objective is to increase production and

productivity of wheat, rice and pulses on a sustainable basis so as to

ensure food security of the country. The approach is to bridge the

yield gap in respect of these crops through dissemination of

improved technologies and farm management practices.

It is envisaged to focus on districts which have high potential

but relatively low level of productivity performance at present. There

will be a series of programme interventions, efforts to reach

resource poor farmers and continuous monitoring of various

activities. Panchayati Raj institutions will play a central role not only

in selection of beneficiaries and identifying priority areas but also in

the entire gamut of activities of the Mission. A strong component of

project management, monitoring and evaluation would steer the

scheme on course for achieving the

Mission’s objectives.

Enhancement of production and productivity is the main goal of the

Ministry of Agriculture. Within its overall mandate, goals and objectives,

the effort is to ensure that women contribute effectively to agricultural

productivity and production. The Department is attempting to

mainstream gender concerns by allocating specific resources for

women under various major schemes/ programmes and development

interventions with relative focus on formation of Women Self Help

Groups (SHGs); Capacity Building Interventions; support for extension

activities and ensuring their representation in various village / block/

and district level decision making bodies.

• The National Agriculture Policy formulated in the year 2000,

accorded high priority to ‘recognition and mainstreaming of

women’s role in agriculture’ and highlighted incorporation of

‘gender issues’ in the agricultural development agenda. The policy

states “mainstreaming gender concerns in agriculture will receive

particular attention. Appropriate structural, functional &

institutional measures will be initiated to empower women and

build their capacities and improve their access to inputs,

technology and other farming resources”.

• The ‘National Policy for Farmers 2007’ formulated on the basis of

the Reports and Recommendations of the erstwhile National

Commission on Farmers has various policy provisions for

empowering women in farming and allied sector activities as

enumerated below :

� Joint pattas for both homestead and agricultural land for

empowering women to access credit and other services.

� Priority would be given to evolve mechanisms for just and

equitable access to water and to include local people in

managing water resources. Women would be given a

significant role as water users, both in access and

management.

-:: 99 ::-

� Documentation of traditional knowledge through community

bio-diversity registers would be promoted with the

involvement of women, who hold much of this knowledge.

� Women-friendly implements/tools for women farmers to

reduce drudgery, save time and enhance output have been

envisaged.

� Special provision is made for support services for women

empowerment. For capacity building and livelihood, women

working in the farms need appropriate support services like

crèches, child care centres, nutrition, health and training,

etc. For funding such activities, existing schemes of the

Ministry of Panchayati Raj, the Ministry of Rural Development

and the Ministry of Agriculture would be augmented and

utilized and new schemes would be introduced, if required.

� Women need special attention in credit access because of

their lack of land title/collateral. Kisan credit cards would

be issued to women speedily with joint pattas for

homestead/agricultural land. For the cases without joint

pattas, indemnity bonds/guarantees from husband and

relatives would be considered by the banks for extending

credit and kisan credit cards to the women farmers.

� Increase in small farm productivity and creating multiple

livelihood opportunities through crop-livestock integrated

farming systems as well as agro-processing would be

supported for increasing farmers’ incomes. Methods of

achieving economies of scale by small and marginal farmers

through the farming groups would be popularized to enhance

yield and income. Women would be encouraged to

participate in such group activities.

a. Agriculture Census forms part of a broader system of collection of

Agricultural Statistics. It is a large-scale statistical operation for the

collection and derivation of quantitative information about the status of

agriculture sector in the country. An agricultural operational holding is

the ultimate unit for taking decision for development of Agriculture at

micro level. It is for this reason that an operational holding is taken as

the statistical unit of data collection for describing the structure of

agriculture. Through Agriculture Census it is endeavoured to collect basic

data on all the important aspects of agricultural economy for all the

operational holdings in the country. Aggregation of data is done at

various levels of administrative units.

b. Periodic Agriculture Censuses is important, as it is are the main

source of information on basic characteristics of operational holdings

such as land use and cropping patterns, irrigation status, tenancy

particulars and the terms of leasing. This information is tabulated by

different size classes and social groups, including Scheduled Castes/

Scheduled Tribes which are needed for development planning, socio-

economic policy formulation and establishment of national priorities. The

census also provides the basis for the development of a comprehensive

integrated national system of agricultural statistics and has links with

various components of the national statistical system. The whole project

of Agriculture Census in the country is implemented in three distinct

phases, which are statistically linked together but focus on different

aspects of agricultural statistics. In Phase-I, a list of holdings with their

area and social characteristics of holders is prepared. In Phase II the

detailed data on agricultural characteristics of holdings are collected

from selected villages. In Phase-III the data on input use pattern are

collected from selected holdings in selected villages. Thus the whole

operation of Agriculture Census in India is not really a complete Census.

In fact, it is a combination of Census and Sample Survey.

c. Agriculture Census in India is conducted following the broad

guidelines for the decennial World Census of Agriculture, conducted by

Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN. India has been participating

in the World Agricultural Census Programme for about four decades.

b.1. The main objectives of Agriculture Census are :

i) To describe the structure and characteristics of agriculture by

providing statistical data on operational holdings, including land

utilization, live-stock, agricultural machinery and implements, use of

fertilisers etc.

ii) To provide benchmark data needed for formulating new agricultural

development programmes and for evaluating their progress.

iii) To provide basic frame of operational holdings for carrying out

future agricultural surveys and,

iv) To lay a basis for developing an integrated programme for current

agricultural statistics.

C. Main Findings

The number of operational holdings has been showing

consistent increase in each successive Agriculture Census since 1970-71.

The number of holdings, which was 71.0 million went up to 81.6 million,

88.9 million, 97.2 million, 106.6 million, 115.6 million and 119.9 million

(excluding Jharkhand State) in 1976-77, 1980-81, 1985-86, 1990-91, 1995-

96 and 2000-01 respectively. The variation between two consecutive

Censuses commencing from 1970-71, was 14.9 percent, 9.0 percent, 9.3

percent. 9.8 percent and 3.7 percent respectively.

Out of the total number of operational holdings of 119.9 million in

2000-01, male operational holdings constituted about 89.0 percent while

female operational holdings were 10.8 percent, with a clear gender bias.

The rest of the operational holdings were Institutional. The corresponding

percentages in 1995-96 were 90.3 and 9.5. The percentage of female

operational holdings in 2000-01 was consistently more in each type of

holdings, like, marginal, small, semi-medium, medium and large, as

compared to 1995-96. The highest percentage increase in operational

holdings was noticed in the case of marginal (5.9 percent) followed by

small (4.8 percent). However, it decreased by 1.7 percent, 7.3 percent

and 12.4 percent in semi-medium, medium and large holdings

-:: 107 ::-

respectively, with the overall increase of 3.7 percent in 2000-01 as

compared to 1995-96.

The operated area which was 162.1 million hectares in 1970-71

marginally increased over the Census years up to 1990-91, and decreased

thereafter touching 159.4 million hectares (excluding Jharkhand State) in

the Census 2000-01. The percentage of such area belonging to female

operational holdings was 8.4 against 90.5 for male operational holdings in

2000-01 against the corresponding figures of 7.2 and 92.0 in 1995-96. The

rest of the holdings belonged to institutional, category.

The average size of holdings for ‘all sizes’ at all India level had

shown a steady decline over all the censuses, while in 1970-71, it was

2.28 hectares which came down to 2.00 hectares in 1976-77, 1.84

hectares in 1980-81, 1.69 hectares in 1985-86, 1.55 hectares in 1990-91

which further reduced to 1.41 hectares during 1995-96 and 1.33 hectares

in 2000-01. The same, relating to male and female operational holdings

was 1.35 hectares and 1.03 hectares respectively in 2000-01, against 1.44

hectares and 1.06 hectares in 1995-96. The average operated area in ‘all

size’ classes had decreased in 2000-01 relating to both male and female

operational holdings as compared to 1995-96.

It may be stated here, that Agriculture Census is not a

development oriented programme and involves only statistical operation.

As such, it has not been possible to fix any target/allocation for women

and SC/ST beneficiaries in the Scheme. However, the Division has

collected, collated & documented the data on `operational land holdings

and land use pattern` on gender disaggregate basis in its Agriculture

Census conducted during 1995-96. In so far as N.E Regions are

concerned, 10 % funds are reserved for them under the Scheme.

The projected estimation for the Annual Plan 2008-09 is

Rs.30crores.

The schemes of Agricultural Marketing are implemented through the

Directorate of Marketing & Inspection, an attached office of this Ministry

with Headquarters at Faridabad, (Haryana), Ch. Charan Singh National

Institute of Agricultural Marketing, Jaipur and Small Farmers’ Agri

Business Consortium, New Delhi.

Directorate of Marketing & InspectionDirectorate of Marketing & InspectionDirectorate of Marketing & InspectionDirectorate of Marketing & Inspection

The Directorate of Marketing & Inspection maintains a close liaison

between the Central and the State Governments in the implementation of

agricultural marketing policies of the Government of India. The activities

of the Directorate of Marketing & Inspection, comprise the following :-

A. Rendering advice to States/ UTs on statutory Regulation,

development and management of agricultural produce markets;

B. Promotion of grading and standardization of agricultural and

allied products;

C. Market research, survey and planning;

D. Training of personnel in agricultural marketing;

E. Marketing Extension;

F. Promotion of Cold Storage facility (except regulatory functions);

G. Agricultural Marketing Information Network.

An effective quality control mechanism is essential for

improving the marketability of the products both within and outside

the country, and also to ensure hygienic and quality food products

-:: 113 ::-

to the consumers. Keeping this in view, the Directorate of

Marketing & Inspection has so far formulated grade standards for

195 agricultural and allied commodities.

Grading for Export:Grading for Export:Grading for Export:Grading for Export:

The Export (Quality Control & Inspection) Act, 1963 is

administered by the Ministry of Commerce. The Act empowers to

notify the commodities, which should be subjected to quality

control prior to export to adopt standard specifications and to

recognize export inspection agencies for the purpose of

enforcement of quality control and pre-shipment inspection. The

Directorate is also one of the agencies recognized for pre-shipment

export inspection of 40 agricultural commodities by Ministry of

Commerce. Under the liberalization policy, certain relaxations have

been given for compulsory quality control and pre-shipment

inspection. The pre-shipment inspection is now not mandatory for

certain Export Houses/ Trading houses recognized by the

Government and IPQC facility holders and in such cases where

importers specifically do not ask for pre-shipment inspection. In

order to promote export trade of agricultural produce by ensuring

quality products to the importers, voluntary grading of agricultural

produce and pre-shipment inspection is carried out in respect of 40

commodities. Spices, tobacco, vegetable oils and essential oils are

the major commodities covered under export quality control.

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade, Ministry of

Commerce & Industry and European Union have notified, that all the

fresh fruits & vegetables exported to European Union may be

inspected and certified by DMI. The inspection and certification is

voluntary in nature. Guidelines have been framed for issue of

Certificate of Authorization (CA) for certification of fruits &

vegetables for export purposes. Guidelines were also framed for

procedure to be adopted for certification of grapes for exports.

-:: 114 ::-

Performance: Performance: Performance: Performance:

During 2006-2007, commodities valued Rs.192.32 crore were

graded under Agmark for export purposes. During 2007-2008 (from

April to December), commodities valued at Rs.150.00crore

(provisional) were graded. By the end of March,2007, 220 Certificate

of Authorisation holders were operating for grading of agricultural

and allied produce for the purpose of export under Agmark.

GradingGradingGradingGrading for Internal Trade: for Internal Trade: for Internal Trade: for Internal Trade:

Grading of agricultural commodities for internal trade is

voluntary in nature and is carried out at the request of sellers under

the Agricultural Produce (Grading & Marking) Act, 1937. For

blended vegetable oils and fat spread, quality certification is

compulsory under Agmark for domestic trade. The commodities

graded under ‘AGMARK’ for internal trade are classified into two

groups; viz. centralized commodities and decentralized

commodities. The commodities, which require elaborate testing

arrangements for assessment of quality and determination of

grades, were classified as Centralised Commodities. It included

grading of ghee, butter, vegetable oils, oil cakes, powdered spices,

honey, wheat atta, besan etc. These required more elaborate

testing arrangements, and hence have been directly carried out by

the Directorate. Decentralized commodities include those items

which do not require elaborate testing facilities and assessment of

their quality and determination of grade is mostly done on the basis

of physical factors or relatively simple tests. It includes wheat, rice

and other cereals, pulses, oilseeds, edible nuts, fibre crops, poultry

products, fruits etc. This programme is being implemented through

the Marketing Departments of the concerned State Governments

under the guidance of Directorate of Marketing and Inspection.

Certain powers under the General Grading & Marking Rules, 1988

have been delegated to States/ UTs for grading of decentralized

commodities. Both the programmes have been clubbed together

now.

Performance: Performance: Performance: Performance:

During 2006-2007, commodities worth Rs.5124.53 crore were

graded for internal trade. During 2007-2008 (till December),

commodities valued at Rs.3500.00 crore (provisional) were graded

for internal trade.By the end of March,2007, 6331 number of

authorized packers were operating for grading of agricultural

commodities for internal trade.

Grading At Producers’ Level:Grading At Producers’ Level:Grading At Producers’ Level:Grading At Producers’ Level:

Grading under Agmark for internal trade is mainly a consumer-

oriented measure and hence, has limited utility for the farmers.

Therefore, for securing adequate return to the producers/ sellers, a

scheme of Grading at the producers’ level by establishing grading

units in Regulated markets and Marketing Cooperatives was

introduced in 1962-63. The main objective of the scheme is to

subject the produce to simple tests, and assign a grade before it is

offered for sale. It is expected that this should help the producer to

get price commensurate with the quality of his produce. Cereals,

pulses, oilseeds, spices, fruits and vegetables, fibres, arecanut,

coconut and tobacco are some of the important commodities

graded under this programme. The scheme is being implemented

by the States/ UTs. For this purpose, 2143 grading units were in

operation in the country till 31.3.2007.

Commodities worth Rs.8112.44 crore were graded at farmers’

level during 2006-2007. During 2007-2008 (Up to December), the

value of such grading was estimated to the tune of Rs.5800.00 crore

The Directorate, as a nodal agency in respect of cold storage

refrigeration, provides technical consultancy to intending

entrepreneurs in construction, operation and maintenance of cold

storages; appraises various cold storage schemes/ projects,

collects data and disseminates it; organizes training/ workshops/

seminars for technology up-gradation and conducts problem-

oriented survey & studies in respect of cold storages. The

Directorate was implementing the Cold Storage Order, 1980 which

has since been rescinded on 27.5.1997 to attract more private

investment in cold storage industry. The Directorate is now

engaged in providing free consultancy and technical services to

intending entrepreneurs in construction, maintenance and operation

of cold stores, developing cost effective/ energy efficient designs,

farm level storage designs, evaluation of sick cold storage and

suggesting measures for revival, organizing training/ workshops to

propagate efficient operation of Cold Stores etc.

During 2006-07, the cold storage directory was updated upto

31.12.2006. The total number of cold storages in the country is

5101 with a capacity of 216.93 lakh MTs as on 31.12.2006. Training

has been imparted to 70 Cold storage/ Godown Operators. Master

Right from its inception, the Directorate has been undertaking

commodity marketing surveys and in-depth studies of marketing

system in respect of various agricultural commodities in the

country. About 356 reports have been published by the Directorate.

Besides, the Directorate has conducted All India Study on

Estimation of Marketable Surplus and Post-Harvest Losses of

Foodgrains. The reports of all the 12 foodgrains (Cereals, viz. Paddy,

Wheat, Jowar, Bajra, Maize, Ragi & Barley and Pulses, viz. Red

Gram (Arhar or Tur), Gram (Chana), Green Gram (Moong) have been

printed and distributed to a number of users/organizations. The

Directorate has provided technical support/ training to State

officials in preparation of Master Plans for development of new

agricultural markets. It has also prepared Master Plans for certain

States. The research activities of the Directorate have been

discontinued on the recommendation of ARC. Preparation of

commodity profiles/ manuals are being undertaken in the plan

scheme of ‘Marketing Research & Information Network’.

g g g g.... MARKETING RESEARCH AND INFORMATION NETWORKMARKETING RESEARCH AND INFORMATION NETWORKMARKETING RESEARCH AND INFORMATION NETWORKMARKETING RESEARCH AND INFORMATION NETWORK::::

A central Sector Scheme of Marketing Research and

Information Network was launched by Ministry of Agriculture,

Department of Agriculture and Cooperation in March 2000. The

scheme aims at progressively linking important agricultural produce

markets spread all over the country and the State Agriculture

Marketing Boards/ Directorates and DMI for effective exchange of

market information. The market information network, AGMARKNET

(agmarknet.nic.in) is being implemented jointly by DMI and NIC,

using NICNET facilities available throughout the country. The

objective of the scheme is to facilitate collection and dissemination

of information for better price realization. The scheme provides

funds to State and National level institutions managing the markets

and executing market led extension activities. The portal covers

-:: 118 ::-

Market related, Price related, Infrastructure related and promotion

related information for efficient marketing.

Performance:Performance:Performance:Performance:

During 2007-08 (December 2007) as against budgetary provision

of Rs 338.00 lakh, an amount of Rs.55.86 lakh has been released for

providing computer connectivity for 184 nodes and SAMETIS for

conducting awareness programmes for farmers and other markets

users.

The markets are reporting data relating to daily prices and

arrivals using a comprehensive national level database at

Agmarknet Portal (http://agmarknet.nic.in). Wholesale prices and

arrivals information in respect of more than 300 commodities and

2000 varieties are being disseminated through the portal on daily

basis. More than 2200 markets have been linked to the Central

Agmarknet Portal and 1760 markets reported data during the month

of December 2007. Movement of weekly prices and arrivals are also

being disseminated using the portal. Monthly prices and arrivals

bulletins are being generated using the national database. In

addition to price, several other market related information is

provided to the portal. These relate to accepted standards /grades,

labeling, sanitary and phyto-sanitary requirement, physical

infrastructure of storage and warehousing, marketing laws, fees

payable, etc. Efforts are on to prepare a National Atlas on

agricultural markets on a GIS platform that would indicate the

availability of entire marketing infrastructure in the country.

Similarly, commodity profiles are being loaded on the portal.

Commodities already covered include, Rice, Wheat, Bengal Gram,

Black Gram, Red Gram, Mustard / Rapeseed, Groundnut, Soyabean ,

Sunflower, Sesame, Green Gram, Potato, Maize and Jowar.

The portal also has linkages with various organizations

concerned with agricultural marketing. Besides spot prices, the

portal also provides access to future prices, MSP and international

commodity prices. Further, it provides information about schemes

of DMI, weather information, e-directory of markets, CODEX

-:: 119 ::-

standards, etc. The portal is constantly being enriched. The prices

and arrivals information are being disseminated in nine languages.

The data base developed under Agmarknet is also serving various

Commodity Directorates of the Department of Agriculture and

Cooperation by providing customized hyperlinks to data pertaining

to specific commodities. An arrangement has been worked out with

IFFCO for regular transmission of prices and arrivals data from

Agmarknet to the touch screen multimedia kiosks being installed by

them at the rural cooperative societies.

hhhh.... CONSTRUCTION OF RURAL GODOWNSCONSTRUCTION OF RURAL GODOWNSCONSTRUCTION OF RURAL GODOWNSCONSTRUCTION OF RURAL GODOWNS : : : :

The Department of Agriculture and Co-operation introduced a

Central Sector Scheme ‘Grameen Bhandaran Yojana’ during March,

2002 to promote construction of Rural Godowns in the country. The

main objectives of the scheme include creation of scientific storage

capacity with allied facilities in rural areas to meet the

requirements of farmers for storing farm produce; to prevent

distress sale of produce; promote pledge financing and marketing

credit; and to introduce a national system of warehouse receipts for

agricultural commodities stored in such godowns. Initially the

scheme was approved for two years upto 2003. Since there had

been a huge response to the scheme, it was extended up to

30.9.2004. Beyond this date the scheme had been approved for

continuation up to 31.3.2007 with some modifications. Under the

revised scheme, subsidy @ 25% is being given to all categories of

farmers, Agriculture graduates, cooperatives & CWC/ SWCs. All

other categories of individuals, companies and corporations are

being given subsidy @ 15% of the project cost. In case of NE

States/hilly areas & SC/ST entrepreneurs and their cooperatives,

subsidy rate is 33.33%.

Though a total of 90 lakh tonne capacity of Rural Godown

capacity was targeted during 10th Plan period, the same has now

been revised upwards to 140 lakh tonne as the target of 90 lakh

tonne capacity was already achieved during 2004-05 itself.

Increased requirement of Rural Storage has been necessitated on

account of increase in the production of food grains and its

-:: 120 ::-

continuing increasing trend. An amount of Rs.70.00 crore has

been allocated for 2007-08 to create 15.00 lakh tonne of storage

capacity. An amount of Rs.53.52 crores has been released upto

December, 2007. Since the inception of the scheme w.e.f. 1.4.2001

and upto November, 2007, 15872 storage projects having a capacity

of 204.45 lakh tonne have already been sanctioned under the

scheme.

In order to give wide publicity to the scheme, NIAM (National

Institute of Agriculture Marketing), Jaipur has been conducting

awareness and training programmes. During the last four years, 6

national seminars, 4 workshops, 19 sensitization programmes have

been organized. In addition, 95 training programmes and 808

farmer awareness programmes have been organized. These

activities are continuing during the current year particularly in

those states where the progress has been less. The scheme has

now been made more farmer friendly by allowing subsidy for smaller

godowns of 50 tonnes size in general and of 25 tonnes in hilly areas.

Creation of five lakh tonnes storage capacity is reserved for small

farmers.

Keeping in mind the high importance of the Schemes of the

Directorate and their relevance in increasing the agricultural

productivity, farm income levels etc. and also looking at the wide

gap existing between the felt need of infrastructure creation and

actual facilities available, all the Plan Schemes have been proposed

to be continued without any break or merger. Further all Schemes

being implemented during Xth Plan have also been proposed to be

continued as separate Schemes during 2007-08 and XI Plan Period,

because objectives, target groups and eligibility criteria etc. are

different for each of the Scheme, and it is not possible to merge

them. Similarly, all the Non-Plan schemes will also be implemented

as separate schemes during 2007-2008.

are:-

- purpose or activity-specific (e.g. marketing, processing, storage,

spinning, fisheries, poultry etc.) or/and

- geographic area/target-specific (e.g. scheme for under-developed

States/weaker sections of society like tribals, handloom weavers

etc.) or

- commodity-specific (e.g. sugar, fruits & vegetables etc.)

b. The quantum of subsidy/loan from NCDC to State Government and

the quantum of equity/loan/subsidy from the State Government to the

Cooperative has been laid down for each activity or segment of activity.

c. For the purpose of funding, states have been classified into

cooperatively developed, cooperatively under-developed and

cooperatively least-developed, as per Planning Commission’s norms.

d. Assistance on liberal pattern is provided to cooperatives in

cooperatively under-developed and cooperatively least-developed states

The Cooperation Division is also implementing Market Intervention

Scheme (MIS) on the request of a State/UT Government for procurement

of agricultural and horticultural commodities generally perishable in

nature and not covered under Price Support Scheme. The MIS is

implemented in order to protect the growers of these commodities from

making distress sale in the event of bumper crop when there is glut in the

market and the prices tend to fall below economic levels/cost of

production. Procurement under MIS is made by NAFED as Central agency

and by the State designated agencies. Losses, if any, incurred by the

procuring agencies are shared between Central Government and the

concerned State Government on 50:50 basis (75:25 in case of North-

Eastern States). However, the amount of loss to be shared between

Central Government and the concerned State Government is restricted to

25% of the procurement cost. Profit, if any, earned by the procuring

agencies is retained by them.

A.A.A.A. TECHNOLOGY MISSION ON COTTONTECHNOLOGY MISSION ON COTTONTECHNOLOGY MISSION ON COTTONTECHNOLOGY MISSION ON COTTON

A Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Mini Mission-II (MM-II) of

Technology Mission on Cotton (TMC) is being implemented in 13 cotton

growing States viz; Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya

Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar

Pradesh, West Bengal and Tripura. The main aim of MM-II is to improve

production, productivity and quality of cotton to meet domestic and

export requirements. The funding pattern under the scheme is on 75:25

sharing basis between the Government of India and implementing States.

The details of financial outlay and projected physical output are enclosed

in the formats at Annexure-I to III.

i i i i Coverage of SC/STCoverage of SC/STCoverage of SC/STCoverage of SC/ST

This is an increase of crop production oriented scheme and do

not come under the purview of the guidelines for components of SCSP and

STP . However , In the Administrative Approval for 2006-07 issued to

the states, instructions have been given to ensure that atleast 16 % of

the benefits flow to SC farmers and 8 % to ST farmers.

ii ii ii ii Benefits to NESBenefits to NESBenefits to NESBenefits to NES

Only one state namely Tripura is implementing the programmes of

MM II- TMC. Tripura has very small portion of land under cotton

cultivation. The requirement of fund projected by the state is provided for

in the scheme. As such the provision of providing 10 % of the allocated

budget cannot be achieved under this scheme as only one NE State is

participating in the programme.

i. The performance of the scheme during 2006-07 has been

satisfactory in almost all the components except for distribution of

seed, sprinkler & drip irrigation and training of farmers/ extension

workers. The shortfall in achievement under seed component was

mainly attributed to non implementation of scheme by Punjab, low

subsidy on seeds in the scheme and non availability of eligible

varieties / hybrid (released within 15 years) in many states. The

shortfall in distribution of certified seeds was also due to farmers’

-:: 154 ::-

preference for private varieties/ hybrid of Cotton. Private varieties/

hybrid are generally not certified and therefore, are not eligible for

assistance as the scheme provides assistance for certified of

varieties/ hybrids notified during the last 15 years. The shortfall in

distribution of drip system is mainly due to the reason, that the

subsidy is available @ 50 % cost of the system and the poor farmers

could not come forward to avail this component with their share of

50 %. Further all farmers do not have perennial water sources and

about 65 % of Cotton area is rainfed. Many farmers do not have

their own irrigation source, hence they are unable to take

advantage of sprinkler and drip irrigation system. The shortfall in

the components of training of extension workers has been minimal.

In case of distribution of sprayers and surveillance of pest/

diseases, the states had comparatively low attack of insects/ pests

during 2006-07. The impact of scheme implementation is evident

through increase in area as well as production and productivity,

decrease in use of insecticides due to popularization of IPM and IRM

technologies, reduction in Cotton Leaf Curl Virus (CLCV) in North

Zone by popularizing Desi Cotton (arboreum) in bordering areas of

Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan.

i. The target & achievements under the scheme during 2006-07 are as

per Annexure-II. The tentative physical targets alongwith the

achievements under the scheme during 2007-08 (till December,

2007) are as per Annexure-III.

ii. The Scheme is being reviewed periodically at different levels. MM-II

of TMC is reviewed with other Mini Missions of TMC by the High

Powered Committee chaired by the Cabinet Secretary, Government

of India. It is also monitored by the Standing Committee under the

Chairmanship of Secretary (A&C) involving all stake holders at the

national level. The Directorate of Cotton Development, Mumbai

monitors progress of the scheme in the field in the 13 states

through a National Level Monitoring Team (NALMOT). There is a

provision to monitor the scheme at State Level by State Level

Monitoring Team (NALMOT) under the Chairmanship of the

Secretary (Agriculture) of the respective State.

� The performance of the scheme during 2006-07 have been satisfactory

in almost all the component except for distribution of seed, drip

irrigation and training of farmers/ extension workers.

� The shortfall in achievement under seed component was mainly

attributed to non implementation of scheme by Punjab State, low

subsidy on seeds in the scheme and non availability of eligible varieties /

hybrid (released within 15 years) in many states resulting in shortfall of

achievement for this component.

-:: 158 ::-

� The shortfall in distribution of certified seeds was also due to farmers’

preference for private varieties/ hybrid of Cotton. Private varieties/

hybrid are generally not certified and therefore, are not eligible for

assistance as scheme provides assistance for certified varieties/

hybrids notified during the last 15 years.

� The shortfall in distribution of drip system is manly due to the reason

that the subsidy is available @ 50 % cost of the system, and the poor

farmers could not come forward to avail this component with their share

of 50 %. Further all farmers do not have perennial water sources and

about 65 % of Cotton area is rainfed and many farmers do not have own

irrigation water source. Hence they are unable to take advantage of

sprinkler / drip irrigation systems.

� The shortfall in the components of training of extension workers has

been minimal.

� In case of distribution of surveillance of pests/ diseases the states had

comparatively low attack of insects/ pest during 2006-07.

C. Centrally Sponsored Scheme of National Food Security Mission

(NFSM)

1. The National Development Council (NDC) in its 53rd meeting held on

29th May, 2007 adopted a resolution to launch a Food Security Mission

comprising rice, wheat and pulses to increase the production of rice by 10

million tonnes, wheat by 8 million tonnes and pulses by 2 million tonnes

by the end of Eleventh Five Year Plan (2011-12). Accordingly, a Centrally

Sponsored Scheme of “National Food Security Mission” has been launched

from rabi 2007-08 to operationalise the above mentioned resolution. The

National Food Security Mission has three components viz. National Food

Security Mission-Rice (NFSM-Rice), National Food Security Mission-Wheat

(NFSM-Wheat) and National Food Security Mission-Pulses (NFSM-Pulses).

2. The main objectives of National Food Security Mission (NFSM) are to

increase production of rice, wheat and pulses through area expansion and

productivity enhancement in a sustainable manner in the identified

districts of the country; restoring soil fertility and productivity at the

individual farm level; creation of employment opportunities; and

enhancing farm level economy (i.e. farm profits) to restore confidence

among farmers.

3. National Food Security Mission is being implemented in 305 districts

of 16 States viz. Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Chattisgarh, Gujarat,

Haryana, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa,

Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamilnadu, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. About 20

million hectares of rice and 13 million hectares of wheat are included in

these districts that roughly constitute about 50% of cropped area for

wheat and rice. For pulses, an additional 4.5 million ha (20% cropped

area) would be created. The list of districts is given at Annexure I (a)Annexure I (a)Annexure I (a)Annexure I (a)----I(c).I(c).I(c).I(c).

4. The interventions under NFSM relate to demonstration of improved

production technology, distribution of quality seeds of High Yielding

Varieties and hybrids, popularization of newly released varieties, support

for micro nutrients, gypsum, zero tillage, rotavators, Integrated Pest

Management(IPM), Integrated Nutrient Management(INM), weeders and

other farm implements, extension, water lifting and moisture saving

devices, training and mass media campaign including awards for best

performing districts. Besides, the pilot projects on community generators,

control of blue bulls and demonstration of International Crop Research

-:: 164 ::-

Institute for Semi Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) technologies are also to be

implemented. The identified districts have been given flexibility to adopt

area specific technological interventions suited to the local conditions.

The details of components and their pattern of assistance are given at

AnnexureAnnexureAnnexureAnnexure----II (a)II (a)II (a)II (a)----II(c). II(c). II(c). II(c).

5. The programme is implemented through State Department of

Agriculture, ICAR, Central and State Seed Producing Agencies, KRIBHCO,

NAFED, IFFCO, IIPR, Kanpur, ICRISAT etc. Panchayati Raj Institutions will

be actively involved for undertaking the following activities:

(i) Selection of beneficiaries and identification of priority areas

for implementation of Mission interventions; and

(ii) Implementation of local initiatives in identified districts.

This is not a SC/ST specific scheme. The Main objectives are

increasing production of rice , wheat and pulses through area expansion

and productivity enhancement in a sustainable manner in the identified

districts of the country. It does not come under the purview of the

guidelines for components of SCSP and STP. However, in the

Administrative Approval for 2006-07 issued to the states, instructions

have been given to ensure that atleast 16 % of the benefits flow to SC

farmers and 8 % to ST farmers. The allocation of SC/ST farmers will be

made proportionate to their population in the districts. The funds will be

released to State Autonomous Agencies, which in turn provide fund to

District Level Autonomous Agencies, for better fund flow. The Panchayati

Raj Institutions (PRI), line departments or PRIs will be involved for larger

transparency in the beneficiary selection and disbursement of benefits to

the farmers.

Benefits to NESBenefits to NESBenefits to NESBenefits to NES

Only one state namely Assam is covered under the scheme of

National Food Security Mission (NFSM). Full allocation of Rs. 3.80 crore

for Assam has been released to the State nominated nodal agency for

implementing the programmes on rice.

6.6.6.6. Economic AdministrationEconomic AdministrationEconomic AdministrationEconomic Administration

The Directorate of Economics and Statistics has been implementing

certain Central Sector Plan Schemes/ Centrally Sponsored Schemes in the

country. However, from the Eleventh Plan period, the plan schemes

implemented by the DES are all Central Sector Schemes. These schemes

continue to act as the life line of agricultural statistics in the country.

I Improvement of Agricultural StatisticsI Improvement of Agricultural StatisticsI Improvement of Agricultural StatisticsI Improvement of Agricultural Statistics

Improvement of Agricultural Statistics Scheme was formulated in

the 10th Five year Plan by simple merger of ongoing schemes of 9th Plan,

namely, i) Timely Reporting Scheme (TRS), ii) Establishment of an Agency

for Reporting of Agricultural Statistics (EARAS), iii) Improvement of Crop

Statistics (ICS) and iv) Crop Estimation Survey on Fruits & Vegetables

(CES-F&V). The four schemes as mentioned above are now the

components of the afore mentioned Scheme. The basic objective of the

Scheme is to collect and improve agricultural statistics in the form of

area/ production/yield rate for principal agricultural crops/7 fruit crops and

7 vegetable crops. From 2007-08, the scheme is converted to Central

Sector Scheme from Centrally Sponsored Scheme and is funded 100% by

the Center.

Under the Scheme, an amount of Rs.118.26 crore was provided for

the X Plan period, out of which Rs.109.64 crore was utilised. In 2007-08,

an amount of Rs 5172 lakh has been allocated for the scheme, out of

which an amount of Rs 3682.72 lakh has been released upto 31.12.2007.

The component-wise details of physical & financial performance are given

as under: -

((((iiii)))) Timely Reporting Scheme (TRS)Timely Reporting Scheme (TRS)Timely Reporting Scheme (TRS)Timely Reporting Scheme (TRS)

TRS component is implemented in 16 land record States and two

Union Territories namely, Delhi and Puducherry. TRS has the principal

objective of reducing time lag in making available the area statistics of

major crops, in addition to providing the sampling frame for selection of

crop-growing fields for crop-cutting experiments. Under the TRS, the

girdawari is completed on a priority basis in a 20% random sample of

villages and the village crop statement is prepared by a stipulated date for

the preparation of advance estimates of the area under major crops at

District level or above. These are used in the framing of crop forecasts.

-:: 173 ::-

Implementing States provide break-up of area under irrigated/un-irrigated

and High Yielding Varieties (HYVs).

The financial outlay for 2007-08 is Rs. 962.50 lakhs, out of which an

amount of Rs 669.24 lakh has been released up to 31.12.2007. Most of

the states have submitted area estimates without much delay. Based on

the priority enumeration works, the estimates of area of all principal crops

for kharif and rabi seasons were used for preparing the official advance

and final estimates for the agricultural years 2006-07/2007-08.

(ii)(ii)(ii)(ii) Improvement of Crop Statistics (ICS)Improvement of Crop Statistics (ICS)Improvement of Crop Statistics (ICS)Improvement of Crop Statistics (ICS)

ICS component is implemented in all the TRS States except Delhi.

The basic objective of the scheme is to bring improvement in crop

statistics by conducting checking and supervision of the work of (a) Area

enumeration, (b) Area aggregation and (c) Crop Cutting Experiments

(CCE). Under the ICS scheme, an independent agency of supervisors

carries out a physical verification of the patwari’s girdawari in a sub-

sample of the TRS sample villages and makes an assessment of the

extent of discrepancies between the supervisor’s and patwari’s crop area

entries in the sample clusters. The supervisor also scrutinises the village

crop abstract prepared by the patwari and checks whether it is free from

totaling errors and whether it has been dispatched to the higher

authorities by the stipulated time. The ICS also covers the permanently

settled States. The National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) is

responsible for the planning and operations of the ICS and employs full-

time staff for field supervision. It shares the fieldwork with the designated

State agencies, which carry out field supervision in about half the number

of sample villages. The “High Level Coordination Committee (HLCC) on

Agricultural Statistics” in the States is supposed to take remedial action.

Under the component 10,000 villages are covered, equally shared by

Central Agency (NSSO) and State machinery, every year. About 30,000

CCE are checked every year.

EARAS is implemented in three non-land record States namely,

Kerala, Orissa and West Bengal and four North Eastern States namely,

Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Sikkim and Tripura. In the absence of any

Government Department for the regular updation of land records in these

States, full time agency for collection of statistics of area, production and

yield rate has been established in each of these implementing States.

The basic methodology under this component is the same as in TRS.

The financial outlay for 2007-08 is Rs. 3075.00 lakhs, out of which

and processed to generate cost of cultivation/production estimates.

Directorate of Economics & Statistics (DES) in the Ministry of

Agriculture gets this study conducted through 16 Agricultural/General

Universities/Colleges besides the Directorate of Tobacco Development.

The scheme is implemented in 19 states and covers 30 crops.

The estimates of Cost of Cultivation (CoC) of principal crops are

used by the Commission for Agricultural Costs & Prices (CACP) for

recommending Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) of 25 crops.

The expenditure during the years 2005-06 and 2006-07 was

Rs.17.55 crore and Rs. 19.14 crore respectively. During 2007-08, an

amount of Rs. 21.87 crore has been earmarked for the scheme. Of this

amount, of Rs. 12.61 crore has already been released by December, 2007

and expenditure was Rs. 14.65 crore by the end of December 2007. A

budget provision of about Rs. 22.40 crore is proposed for 2008-09.

During the year 2005-06, the cost estimates pertaining to the

crop year 2003-04 (147 estimates) were furnished to CACP and the

estimates for crop year 2004-05 (148 estimates) were furnished in 2006-

07 by the approved dates. Against the target of 155 estimates for the

crop year 2005-06, 94 estimates have already been furnished to the

CACP by end of the December, 2007.

scheme, no specific activity either for women or for the North-eastern

States are undertaken under the Scheme. However, in North Eastern

Region (NER), the scheme is in operation in Assam through Assam

Agricultural University (AAU), Jorhat. AAU collects data for three

principal crops viz; Paddy, Jute and Rapeseed & Mustard. During 2005-

06 and 2006-07, a sum of Rs. 1.20 crore and 1.40 crore respectively were

released to AAU for implementation of the scheme. Out of Rs. 2.84 crore

ii) ii) ii) ii) The AgroThe AgroThe AgroThe Agro----Economic Research (AER) SchemeEconomic Research (AER) SchemeEconomic Research (AER) SchemeEconomic Research (AER) Scheme was initiated in 1954-55

for undertaking research studies on Agro-economic problems of the

country. The scheme is being implemented through 12 Agro-Economic

Research Centres and 3 Regional Units, which are fully funded by the

Government through Central Sector Plan Scheme Funds. These Centers

have been established to take up problem oriented studies on regional

basis with a view to generate the requisite feedback from the grass root

level, the ways and means for improving the effective monitoring of

various programmes/schemes implemented by the Ministry, while the

three Units undertake inter-regional/national level studies. The Centres

undertake regional/state level studies.

Agro-Economic Research Centre, Jorhat was set up in 1960 for

conducting studies in the North-Eastern region. The Centre conducts

about 4-5 studies annually.

During 2006-07, about 25 number of such studies were completed

and during 2007-08, 17 number of such studies have been completed upto

December, 2007. On an average, about 40-45 research studies are got

prepared annually from these Centres/Units concerning economic policy

on agriculture, animal husbandry, water management & allied areas.

AER Scheme has already been reviewed thrice, once in 1960 by the

Dantawala Committee, again in 1984 by Review Committee and in 2006 by

Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) of Planning Commission. The TAC

found the Scheme useful for research work and recommended for its

continuation.

An amount of Rs.4030.00 lakhs have been proposed for

continuation of the Scheme during the Eleventh Five Year Plan (2007-12),

and an amount of Rs.700.00 lakhs has been approved in the first year of

2007-08 for the implementation of the AER Scheme. An allocation of

Rs.725.00 lakhs has been proposed for the year 2008-09.

In view of the weaknesses of the existing statistical system in

providing reliable and timely advance estimates of agricultural output

and to overcome the long pending demand of forecasting of agricultural

output, the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation(DAC) in the

Ministry of Agriculture has initiated a project on Forecasting Agricultural

Output using Space, Agro-Meteorology & Land Based

Observations(FASAL). The FASAL project envisages use of improved

techniques to make multiple early/in-season forecasts of production of

major crops at the national, state and district levels. It aims at using

improved econometric models, agro-meteorological inputs and remote

sensing techniques besides field observations by collection of data for

crop forecasts.

The scheme is being implemented by two agencies viz. (i) Space

Application Centre (SAC), Ahmedabad and (ii) Institute of Economic

Growth (IEG), Delhi. Grants-in-aid are released for implementation of the

Scheme.

Commission for Agricultural Costs and PricesCommission for Agricultural Costs and PricesCommission for Agricultural Costs and PricesCommission for Agricultural Costs and Prices

PRICE POLICYPRICE POLICYPRICE POLICYPRICE POLICY

Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP) advises the

Government on price policy of major agricultural commodities, viz. paddy,

wheat, coarse grains, pulses, oilseeds, sugarcane, cotton, jute, copra and

tobacco with a view to evolving a balanced and integrated price structure

in the perspective of the overall needs of the economy and keeping in

view the interests of the producer and the consumer. Since the market

place for agricultural produce tends to be inherently unstable, which often

inflicts unforeseen losses on growers, even when they adopt the best

available technology package and produce efficiently, a remunerative and

stable price environment for increasing agricultural production and

productivity has all along assumed importance. Towards this end, while

recommending the minimum support price (MSP) for major agricultural

commodities to be fixed by the Government each year, CACP also gives

recommendations on non-price measures having implications on overall

price policy. While formulating these recommendations, the Commission

analyses a wide spectrum of data, covering the costs of

cultivation/production, trends and spread of input use, production and

productivity of the crop concerned, market prices, both domestic and

global, inter-crop price parity, emerging supply-demand situation,

procurement and distribution, terms of trade between agricultural and

non-agricultural sectors, and so on.

Price policy involves certain considerations of long-run

consequences, and therefore the Commission also looks at the yield-

raising research being conducted by institutions like ICAR. The basic

data are generally collected from the Directorate of Economics and

Statistics, State Governments, Central Ministries and the nodal agencies

concerned, with the implementation of agricultural price policy. Besides,

the Commission undertakes field visits for close interaction with farmers

in different parts of the country and also has wider consultation with

senior officers, researchers and managers of relevant organizations. The

substantive work of the Commission is guided by the terms of reference

given to it by the Government.

The following five reports containing price and non-price

recommendations are submitted by the Commission to the Ministry of

Agriculture every year.

-:: 183 ::-

(i) Report on price policy for kharif crops.

(ii) Report on price policy for rabi crops.

(iii) Report on price policy for sugarcane.

(iv) Report on price policy for copra.

(v) Report on price policy for raw jute.

CACP is not handling any plan schemes during the XI Five Year Plan. So

it has no information to furnish regarding Gender Based Budgeting.

• After the launch of Technology Mission on Horticulture, additional

area of 216570 hectares have been brought under Horticulture

crops, till 2006-07.

• Similarly, after the introduction of the scheme high yielding

cultivars and improved production technologies have been

-:: 193 ::-

introduced both for fruits as well as vegetables. Large areas have

been covered under fruit tree plantation, the impact of which would

be visible after 4-5 years when they start bearing fruits. However,

results have already started coming in for pineapple, passion fruit,

Kiwi, Strawberry etc. Farmers have started generating more

economic returns because of mission’s intervention. All the states

have taken to growing off-season vegetables with availability of off-

season irrigation sources from community tanks developed under

the Mission. The vegetable scenario has started giving quick

seasonal economic returns to farmers. Commercial cultivation of

flowers such as orchids, anthurium, lilium, roses etc has improved

the economy of many farmers besides providing ample employment

opportunities for many youth especially women.

• Large number of farmers from all the states have been given

exposure of Horticulture Development programmmes outside the

state, so as to familiarize them with latest technologies being

employed by other developed states. Farmers training under the

mission is a key programme for ushering in Horticulture

Development in the region.

• There is wide appreciation of the manner in which the Technology

Mission Programmes have been conceived and are being

implemented. The overall impact of the Mission is also very much

visible in terms of increased level of awareness, about the role of

horticulture sector in the economy of the region and the need for

investing in improved technologies available on the shelf. There is

also increased consciousness regarding the need for integrating, on

end to end basis, the four aspects of sector development viz.

technology support, production, marketing & processing.

• Some States like Mizoram and Manipur have made an impressive

progress in vegetable cultivation, promoting cultivation of second

crop in a year after paddy, adopting cluster approach, thus helping

the growers to earn better returns from same unit area of land.

Technology Mission has made a significant change in the cropping

pattern and returns from the land.

• In ornamental crops, major success has been observed in promoting

Anthurium in Mizoram using planting material imported from abroad

through private company. The company provides planting material

and also know-how for growing under protected cover. The farmers

in the state are highly enthusiastic about this, which can be treated

as a success story of the Mission.

-:: 194 ::-

• The infrastructure facilities created such as nurseries, tissue

culture units, community water tanks, tube wells, drip irrigation,

green houses, model floriculture center, mushroom units, vermi-

compost units etc. have helped in production and supply of quality

planting material and also improving the production and productivity

of horticulture crops in the region.

• Infrastructure facilities were also created for improved post harvest

management, marketing as well as processing of horticultural

produce in these states. These activities have helped in improving

the economy of a majority of the inhabitants of the region,

particularly small and marginal farmers.

Impact Evaluation study was conducted by Agriculture Finance

Corporation during 2007.The major highlights of the report are as under:

Area expansion: The total additional area brought under horticultural

crops since inception of the mission was 285296 ha, which includes

current year achievements made so far. Besides, introduction of improved

production technology in traditional crops, a significant contribution of

the mission was in promotion of commercial cultivation of potential crops,

viz. citrus, banana, pineapple, strawberry, kiwi, apple, passion fruits;

anthurium, roses, lilium, orchids and other cut flowers; and high value

vegetable crops e.g. cherry tomato, bird eye chili, king chili and coloured

capsicum etc. The most remarkable one which has been observed in most

of the states is that the expansion of area is crop specific and in a cluster

approach which would facilitate easy access to marketing in future.

-:: 195 ::-

Production productivity: The mission provided extension support for

adopting recommended technology and use of quality input including

quality planting material. The additional area brought under horticulture

crops was a direct impact of the support and realized high productivity

levels. This has also influenced productivity levels of some of the

traditional horticulture crops.

Infrastructure for production: The mission was able to register

commendable progress on the production front due to infrastructure

created in terms of nurseries, tissue culture labs. and centers of

excellence, which served as focal points for extension of recommended

technology to a large number of farmers in identified production clusters

and also provided forward linkages between production and marketing by

setting up facilities for sorting, grading, packaging and making buy- back

arrangements.

Some notable achievements with respect to promotion of high value crops

was observed in the following horticulture crops i.e., Passion fruit ,Apple,

Kiwi, Khasi Mandarin, Chilies, Shiitake mushroom, offseason vegetables,

Anthurium, Plantation crops, Protected cultivation, Contract farming and

Organic farming, etc.

The Central Fertiliser Quality Control & Training Institute, Faridabad

(CFQC&TI) was set up in the 4th Five Year Plan (1971-72) under a Plan

Scheme as a subordinate office of DAC. It is being continued and

strengthened in successive plan periods. The Planning Commission has

recommended that it is to be converted into non plan. However, as the

Ministry of Finance did not agree to the proposal, the scheme is being

continued during Xth Plan as Plan Scheme with an outlay of Rs.10.00

crores on the pattern as in IX Plan. The Main Objectives Main Objectives Main Objectives Main Objectives of the

Institute/Regional Laboratories are as under:

• Drawal, Inspection and analysis of both Indigenous and Imported

Fertilisers.

• Training of State Enforcement Officers and Analysts including

Officers from Developing Countries.

• Development of methods of analysis, acting as a Referee Laboratory

besides an Advisory body on issues related to Fertiliser Quality

Control.

2. The Institute & Regional Laboratories have Techno-legal functions

for inspection and analysis of fertilizer samples & training. It is a Notified

Laboratory under Clause 29 of Fertiliser Control Order, 1985 (FCO) issued

under section 3 of Essential Commodities Act, 1955 & a Notified Referee

Laboratory under Clause 29(B) of FCO. The Fertiliser Inspectors of the

Institute are authorized Inspectors under Clause 27 having jurisdiction

throughout the country for inspection of indigenous and imported

fertilizers.. The Institute is exclusively responsible for inspection and

Quality Control of Imported Fertilisers. The Institute is also a Notified

Training Centre under Clause 27A & 29A of FCO and therefore provides

training to the Analysts and Enforcement Officers of the State Govts. In

addition One Training Programme of 5 weeks duration is also held every

year for Foreign Participants under ITEC/SCAAP/COLOMBO PLAN.

Organisation of Orientation Training Programme and Dealers Training

Programme in states are also important activities of the Institute and its

-:: 235 ::-

Regional Laboratories to upgrade the skill of concerned officers in the area

of Fertiliser Quality Control.

3. In respect of inspection and analysis of imported fertilizer samples,

the Institute and its regional laboratories have covered all the

consignments of imported fertilizers arrived during the 10th plan period. In

the current financial year, 739 fertilizer vessels have been inspected and

fertilizer material thereof analysed. During the current plan period, the

achievement in case of analysis of fertilizer samples is 210% against the

target till 12/07. 100% achievement has also been attained in respect of

organization of training programmes for the State Enforcement officers,

analysts and fertilizer dealers. 100% achievement has also been attained

in respect of organization of training programmes for foreign nationals in

the current plan period.

Against an approved outlay of Rs.10.00 crores for the 10th plan, an

expenditure of Rs.9.65 crores has been incurred i.e. 97% of the target has

been achieved in respect of fiscal progress.

National Project on Organic Farming (NPOF)National Project on Organic Farming (NPOF)National Project on Organic Farming (NPOF)National Project on Organic Farming (NPOF)

Organic Farming is gaining growing importance the world over in

order to develop sustainable and eco-friendly agricultural production

system. The Indian agriculture is traditionally organic. In view of the

large potential and competitive advantage for giving a major boost for

domestic production and marketing of organic produce, the Department of

Agriculture & Cooperation (DAC) had set up a Task Force on Organic

Farming under the Chairmanship of Shri Kunwarji Bhai Jadav in 2000,

which observed that organic farming is being practiced by thousands of

farmers in traditional ways and only a small effort is needed to organize

these producers. Introducing the system of certification, can make India a

leader in organic agriculture globally. Accordingly, DAC formulated a

National Project on Organic Farming (NPOF).

The NPOF was taken up from October 2004 for production, promotion

and market development of organic farming in the country with an outlay

of Rs.57.05 crore during 10th Plan as a pilot scheme. The scheme is being

continued during 11th Plan with an allocation of Rs.27.00 crore during

-:: 236 ::-

2007-08. The proposed outlay for 11th Plan is Rs.150.00 crore. The various

components being implemented under the scheme are as follows:-

(i) Capacity building through service providers,

(ii) Setting up of organic input units:-

(a) Fruit/vegetable waste compost units.

(b) Bio-fertilizer production units.

(c) Vermiculture hatcheries.

(iii) Training programmes for:-

(a) Certification and inspection agencies/ service providers.

(b) Organic input production and quality control.

(c) Field functionaries/Extension Officers.

(d) Farmers’ training.

(iv) Field demonstrations on:-

(a) Organic inputs including Vermi-compost/ city compost.

(b) Use of enriched biogas slurry.

(c) Setting up of model organic farm.

(v) Market development and promotion – Development of technical

packages, its dissemination and market development; development

of new initiatives; dissemination of proven technology; creation of

national awareness through seminars/exhibitions and publicity

through print and electronic media.

Organic CerOrganic CerOrganic CerOrganic Certificationtificationtificationtification

In order to make certification available to the organic farmers at a

low cost and in a time bound manner, all the State governments have been

requested to identify a suitable agency in each State for certifying organic

products. Some of the State Governments have already taken up with

Agricultural & Processed Food products Export Development Authority

(APEDA) for accreditation of agencies identified by them. At present,

Uttarakhand State Organic Certification Agency (USOCA) and Rajasthan

-:: 237 ::-

Organic Certification Agency (ROCA) are the State Agencies accredited by

APEDA for certifying organic products.

Apart from this, APEDA has introduced group certification for small

and marginal farmers under National Programme for Organic Production

(NPOP). Group Certification helps the small farmers in bringing down the

cost of certification.

Thrust AreasThrust AreasThrust AreasThrust Areas

The thrust areas for organic farming development under NPOF are

such areas that have very low level of fertilizer consumption, i.e. hilly, rain-

fed areas and North Eastern States.

This Division is implementing a restructured Central Plan Scheme

namely "Promotion and Strengthening of Agricultural Mechanization

through Training, Testing and Demonstration" by integrating the erstwhile

two schemes namely “Strengthening of Farm Machinery Training & Testing

Institutes (FMT&TI) at Budni (M.P.), Hissar (Haryana), Garladinne (A.P.),

Biswanath Chariali (Assam)” and “Demonstration of Newly Developed

Agricultural Equipment including Horticultural Equipment at Farmers’

Field”. The budget outlay for the XI Plan period has been proposed at

Rs.55 crores. The main components of this scheme are Training, Testing,

Demonstration and Outsourcing of Training through the identified

institutions by the State Governments.

As a support to the promotion of agricultural mechanisation, Farm

Machinery Training and Testing Institutes were set up at Budni (M.P.) in

1955, Hissar (Haryana) in 1963, Garladinne, District Anantapur in 1983 and

Biswanath Chariali (Assam) in 1990. These Institutes have since then

engaged in developing human resource for agricultural mechanisation and

ascertaining the performance characteristics of agricultural

machinery/implements for improvement in their quality. To achieve this

objective, besides undertaking testing of farm machines for various

performance parameters, the FMTTIs have also been conducting different

types of training programmes in the selection, operation,

repair/maintenance and management of farm machinery for the benefit of

nominees of Central/ State Governments, Private Organizations, retired/

retiring Defence Personnel, technicians, rural youth, farmers, women in

Plant Protection continues to play a significant role in achieving

targets of crops production. The major thrust areas of plant protection are

surveillance of pests and diseases for providing effective and timely

advisories to the States, promotion of Integrated Pest management

through training, participative Farmers Field Schools, taking up area based

pest and disease management programmes, ensuring availability of safe

and quality pesticides for sustaining crop production from the ravages of

pests and diseases, promoting use of bio-control methods of pest

management, supporting the states in creating adequate pesticide testing

infrastructure, strengthening quarantine measures for accelerating the

introduction of new high yielding crop varieties, besides minimising the

chances of entry of exotic pests, enabling market access to our Nation’s

agricultural commodites and for human resource development, including

empowerment of women in plant protection skills and monitoring the

pesticide residue in agricultural commodities to ensure food safety.

A. PROMOTION OF INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PROMOTION OF INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PROMOTION OF INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PROMOTION OF INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

The indiscriminate use of pesticides was the only plant protection

tool during sixties and seventies for sustaining Agricultural Production

potential of the high yielding varieties under the intensive cropping

systems. This has led to several ill-effects like human and animal health

hazards, ecological imbalance, development of resistance in the pests to

pesticides, pest resurgence and environmental pollution, as well as,

destruction of natural enemies (bio-control agents) of pests and increased

level of pesticides residues in soil, water. In order to have sustainable pest

management approaches, agro-ecosystem based approaches have been

evolved around the coordinal principle of IPM. IPM is promoted through

FFS, area based IPM and follow up for sustainable practice of IPM to

manage these pests with low cost techniques. FFS will empower the

farmers to decide on these pest control practices instead of blind usage of

pesticides as driven by the local dealers. Expanding the area of pest

surveillance and generating reliable surveillance data based on which

quality advisories can be provided to the States, utilizing the ICT tool will

be the innovative area to be implemented for the benefit of farmers.

Expanding the bio-control programme by decentralized production and

distribution strategy through farmer participation, area based fruit fly

control programmes to reduce the loss of fruits and vegetables will be

other areas that can contribute to enhancing the income of the farmers.

Brief of the important activities are given below:

Pest surveillance is a major function of plant protection institutions

and it is helpful in providing scientific advisories to the states for taking up

preventive and control measures against pest infestation. It is proposed to

introduce application of ICT for enhancing the reliability of the surveillance

data and expanding the area under surveillance. The ICT enabled handheld

devise which is under trial will be deployed for achieving this objective.

Seed treatment plays an important role in protecting seeds and

young seedlings from seed and soil borne diseases and insect pests

affecting crop emergence and its growth. However, many farmers in the

country are either not familiar with the practice or do not follow it. The

practice of seed treatment is also IPM compatible. In view of this,

Government of India has launched a countrywide campaign for ensuring

100% seed treatment in all-important crops during coming Kharif season.

-:: 256 ::-

Pesticide Industry Associations, ATMAs, CIPMCs, KVKs, Farmers clubs,

SAUs, NGOs etc. have played an important role in the campaign for

ensuring 100% seed treatment which gave a successful result during

Kharif season & still continue in Rabi season. A concerted campaign

will be continued during 2008-09 for increasing the practice of seed

treatment.

Fruit flies that are polyphagus pests cause considerable loss of fruits

and vegetables. They are amenable for control on area based approach

with environmental friendly methods especially “ male termination

techniques” using “lures”. This require participation of the farmers of the

area. Fruit fly control programmes will be launched on area basis under

each CIPMC, in collaboration with IIHR, Bangalore. The experience gained

in implementing the fruit fly surveillance programme during the last two

years will be useful to draw up programmes for fruit fly control in selected

areas under each CIPMC.

Though there is considerable potential for promoting Bio-control

methods of pest management in the country, the farmers are not able to

get bio-agents in time. It is proposed to launch a decentralized production

and supply of bio-agents programme in the potential areas. Various

agencies such as NGOs, Sugar cooperatives, private sugar mills will be

involved along with the effort of State governments.

A new initiative of public-private partnership is proposed to be pilot tested

for providing farmer-specific, crop-specific pest management advisories in

high value crops. The PPP model will be evolved to have a sustainable

advisory system with accountability. Government support will be provided

to the extent of making such a model technically feasible and

commercially viable.

B- LOCUST CONTROL & RESEARCH

The scheme Locust Control and Research is being implemented

through the “Locust Warning Organisation (LWO)”“Locust Warning Organisation (LWO)”“Locust Warning Organisation (LWO)”“Locust Warning Organisation (LWO)” established in 1939 and

later amalgamated with the Directorate of Plant Protection Quarantine and

Storage in 1946. This Organisation is responsible for monitoring and

controlling desert locust over an area of 2.00 lakh Sq Km in the Scheduled

Desert Areas (SDA) of the States of Rajasthan, Gujarat and parts of

Haryana.

-:: 257 ::-

The monitoring and control of locust in Schedule Desert Area (SDA) is

an International obligation and responsibility of the Government of India.

The ongoing activities of the scheme are; monitoring of locust

situation by way of conducting survey and surveillance, issuance of

fortnightly locust situation bulletins, organizing Indo-Pak border meetings,

maintaining communication system network, maintaining control potential

in terms of Trained Manpower, Vehicles, Plant Protection and survey

equipment, communication equipments, Pesticides etc. to meet any locust

emergency and conducting research work on locusts and grasshoppers

etc. The LWO has its own Government buildings at Jodhpur, Barmer,

Jaisalmer, Phalodi, Nagour, Palanpur, Bikaner and Churu. The land for office

buildings of Bhuj and Jalore have also been purchased, but these buildings

are yet to be constructed. The land for transport workshop at Jodhpur was

acquired and boundary wall has already been constructed on it. The land for

constructing Circle Offices at Suratgarh is required to be purchased during

the XI Five Year Plan.

CCCC- TRAINING IN PLANT PROTECTIONTRAINING IN PLANT PROTECTIONTRAINING IN PLANT PROTECTIONTRAINING IN PLANT PROTECTION

Central Plant Protection Training Institute now renamed as National Plant

Protection Training Institute, Hyderabad was established in 1966 with the

objective to train the various functionaries of States/ UTs on the latest

skills and technology in the field of plant protection. The role of the

institute is proposed to be expanded by reconstituting it into an

autonomous agency by name “National Plant Health Management Institute”.

The centre will be recast as a policy support centre to the government on

plant protection, plant quarantine, SPS issues, food safety issues especially

related to pesticide residue matters. Through autonomy, the thrust on

capacity building is proposed to be augmented.

DDDD---- IMPLEMENTATION OF INSIMPLEMENTATION OF INSIMPLEMENTATION OF INSIMPLEMENTATION OF INSECTICIDES ACT.ECTICIDES ACT.ECTICIDES ACT.ECTICIDES ACT.

The provisions of the Insecticides Act are to regulate the import,

manufacture, sale, transport, distribution and use of insecticides with a

view to prevent the risks associated to human beings or animals etc. The

provisions of the Insecticides Act are implemented through the Central

Insecticides Board & Registration Committee, Central Insecticides

Laboratory, Regional Pesticides Testing Laboratories, State Pesticides

-:: 258 ::-

Testing Laboratories and the implementation machinery of the Directorate

of Plant Protection, Quarantine and Storage and State Agriculture

Departments. In order to ensure the supply of quality pesticides and bio-

agents, the system of registration of pesticides by CIB&RC is required to

be made more efficient and transparent. In order to bring efficiency and

transparency, a work-flow system is approved, to be implemented through

use of information communication technology. The project will be

completed and maintained for effective use.

The Central Insecticides Laboratory and the Regional Pesticides

Testing Laboratories are the fulcrum of quality testing programmes to

enforce quality. The provisions of the Insecticides Act are proposed to be

enforced through accreditation under NABL system, along with automation

of testing systems. The laboratories will be strengthened with modern

testing equipments.

The State Pesticide Testing Laboratories, which have been set up by

the States in various schemes will be facilitated to use their full capacity

by providing training and required man-power on outsourcing basis so as to

step up the quality testing of pesticides in various States. It has been

identified that the availability of quality personnel for running the

laboratory is a major problem in the States. The States will be assisted to

engage trained manpower on outsourcing basis for

operationalisation/running the laboratories for effective pesticide quality

control.

In order to asses the existing system of quality control assurance

system, in view of the complaints of widespread availability of spurious

pesticides in the States, it is proposed to commission a professional study

of the existing quality control system and come up with practical

recommendations for improving quality control in terms of licensing,

manufacture and distribution network, ensuring the minimum

infrastructure required for manufacturing chemicals, risk based sampling

and testing for quality analysis, the system required to be put in place for

ensuring quality of imported pesticides and ensuring awareness and for

enabling the farmers to choose the right chemicals. The consultancy is

also expected to provide standard operating procedure for various

activities across the chain of quality control system.

-:: 259 ::-

A campaign against manufacture, distribution, sale and use of

spurious pesticides has been launched during the last financial year.

Based on the feedback, it is proposed to reinforce the campaign both in

mass media and print media to reach all over the country. This will give

momentum to the campaign against the availability of spurious pesticides.

Along with making quality pesticides available to the farmers, the

safe disposal of obsolete pesticides and shelf life expired pesticides, that

are present in various States and CIPMCs including the Locust Warning

Organization is an important activity required to be done under the

Insecticides Act. It is assessed that a huge quantity of obsolete

pesticides are lying in the godowns of various States and LSO, Jodhpur.

There is every danger of these chemicals getting mixed up with the

environment and polute the ground water and the environment. It is also

likely to be a health hazard to the people around the storage centres.

Considering the importance of the disposal of obsolete pesticides, a pilot

project was initiated with collaboration with GTZ for disposal of Dieldrin,

an obsolete pesticide that has already been banned all over the world,

including India. The disposal of this chemical will provide adequate

capacity in the DPPQS to guide the States for identifying and safe

management and disposal of obsolete chemicals. It is proposed to support

the States for the safe disposal of these obsolete chemicals as per the

pollution control regulations of the country.

The main objective of the scheme is to preclude the entry of exotic

pests and diseases into the country by implementing the statutory

provision as enshrined in DIP Act, 1914 and the rules framed there under.

Under the scheme all the consignments of plant and plant material

imported into India are subject to Plant Quarantine screening for exotic

pest and pathogens with a view to prevent their entry into the country.

Also the export certification of plants/ plant materials are undertaken to

issue PSCs as per the provision of IPPC. Important activities and

objectives are briefed below:

-:: 260 ::-

Major Activities and Programmes

(1)(1)(1)(1) Inspection of imported agricultural commodities for preventing the

introduction of exotic pests and diseases inimical to Indian Fauna

and Flora through implementation of DIP Act, 1914 and Plant

Quarantine (Regulation of Import into India) Order, 2003 issued there

under.

(2) Inspection of agricultural commodities meant for export as per the

requirements of importing countries under International Plant

Protection Convention (IPPC) 1951 of FAO and issue Phytosanitary

Certificate.

(3) Detection of exotic pests and diseases already introduced for

containing/controlling them by adopting domestic quarantine

regulations.

(4) Undertaking Post Entry Quarantine Inspection in respect of identified

planting materials & Pest Risk Analysis (PRA).

(5) Development programme such as integrated PRA system, integrated

pest surveillance system, integrated information system and

integrated Phytosanitary Border Control System.

(6) Export Market Access by way of resolving phytosanitary issues.

Important initiatives in addition to the ongoing programmes, in the

financial year are given below.

The Plant Quarantine Stations which are located all over the country

are required to be strengthened. However, it is essential to ensure the

prevention of entry of quarantine pests, especially the fruit flies, which

may come along with the imported fruits and vegetables. It has been

assessed that a major quantity of fruits and vegetables are imported

through the Regional Plant Quarantine Stations of New Delhi, National

Plant Quarantine Stations of Mumbai, Chennai, Amritsar and Kolkata.

There is a risk of bringing in quarantine pests alongwith these fresh fruits

and vegetables. Though the quarantine system is examining and taking

appropriate measures to prevent their entry, there is an absolute necessity

-:: 261 ::-

to have a surveillance system in and around the PQ stations from where

the major volumes of such fruits and vegetables are being imported. It is

therefore, proposed to launch surveillance of exotic fruit flies in the

surrounding areas of the PQ stations utilizing appropriate traps and lures,

which can attract the exotic fruit flies, if they enter the country. It is an

international practice to have a system of fruit fly surveillance system in

and around PQ Stations to ensure that no such quarantine fruit flies enter

into the country. Therefore, it is proposed to launch a comprehensive fruit

fly surveillance programme and emergency control programme around the

5 National Plant Quarantine Stations as mentioned above.

In view of the huge risk of importing quarantine weeds alongwith the

imported wheat, a national surveillance and control programme of exotic

weeds has been launched during the last financial year. The programme

will be streamlined and administered with the help of NRCWS, Jabalpur

and DPPQS. The outcome of these surveillance programmes is to prevent

the possibility of establishment of quarantine weeds along the pathway

of imported wheat distribution in the country.

The National Fruit Fly surveillance programme, launched in the year

2005-06 will be continued in order to generate data during the second

mango season, which is a necessary requirement as per international

norms. The programme will be continued till the end of the financial year.

An evaluation of the programme will be conducted to see the effectiveness

of the surveillance programme.

(3) Monitoring of(3) Monitoring of(3) Monitoring of(3) Monitoring of Pesticide Residues at National Level Pesticide Residues at National Level Pesticide Residues at National Level Pesticide Residues at National Level

The main objective of the scheme is to map pesticide residues

throughout India so as to:

� Generate pesticide residue data in different agro-climatic conditions

having different cropping patterns.

� Undertake periodic monitoring and surveillance studies to assess

pesticides residue levels in different commodities/environmental

components.

-:: 262 ::-

With a view to achieve the long term objective of reorienting the

production/ processing standards to ensure safety for human beings,

animals and plants, the prioritized activities are as follows:

1. To monitor pesticide residues in Regions/States known to use

pesticide extensively/indiscriminately so that intensive campaigns

would be launched in such areas to generate awareness about safe

and judicious use of pesticides amongst the farmers as a component

of IPM.

2. To monitor pesticide residues in market yards in major consumption

areas in order to generate consumer awareness about pesticide

residues in agri- commodities so as to force vendors, processors and

farmers to reduce pesticide residue levels by adopting appropriate

measures.

3. To strengthen testing/certification facilities at export centers like

quarantine stations at ports, production areas, processing and

packaging houses by developing appropriate inter linkage between

production, marketing, processing, export and certification centers

in order to provide comprehensive monitoring/ certification of

residue levels in export sensitive commodities.

The data obtained through such monitoring would help focus IPM

campaign and generate awareness amongst farmers, vendors and

consumers regarding the importance of producing residue free

commodities.

Financial review: Financial review: Financial review: Financial review:

Plant Protection activities in the country mainly revolve around

providing broad guidance to the States in terms of pest management

activities and implementing the provisions of the Insecticides Act 1965.

Plant quarantine function is a regulatory one, which aims at preventing the

entry of any quarantine pests or diseases under the provisions of the

Destructive Insects and Pests Act, 1914 and Plant Quarantine (Regulation

of Import into India) Order, 2003. The quarantine function would also

involve creation of market access for the export of agri. commodities to

other countries. In view of such specialized functions, financial trends in

expenditure are of lesser significance. However, brief review of the

overall trends in expenditure, scheme-wise is given below:

1. Strengthening and modernization of pest management approach in

India: There was budget provision of Rs. 1600 lakh during 2006-07 as

against which the revised estimate was reduced to Rs. 1461 lakhs. The

expenditure as against the revised estimates was Rs. 971 lakhs. During

2007-08, the budget estimate provided for the scheme is Rs. 1600 lakhs

with RE of Rs1914 lakhs. The expenditure reported as on November 2008

is Rs. 698 lakhs. Against the backdrop of not utilizing the budgeted

provision, it is proposed to review the scheme and bring about farmer

oriented innovative approaches for effective utilization of budget provision.

Therefore, the proposals contained number of innovative farmer friendly

approaches.

2. Strengthening and modernization of plant quarantine facilities in

India: There was budget provision of Rs. 1700 lakh during 2006-07 as

against which the revised estimate was reduced to Rs. 1495 lakhs. The

expenditure as against the revised estimates was Rs. 1024 lakhs. During

2007-08, the budget estimate provided for the scheme is Rs. 1650 lakhs

with RE of Rs1370 lakhs. The expenditure reported as on December, 2007

is Rs. 441 lakhs. A major initiative of launching national weed surveillance

programme is covered under the budget 2008-09. In addition to this,

exotic fruit fly surveillance activity is proposed to be taken up under

important plant quarantine stations. In view of the new initiatives, the

budget provision is made at Rs. 1700 lakhs.

3. Monitoring pesticide residues at national level: There was budget

provision of Rs. 1000 lakh during 2006-07 as against which the revised

estimate was reduced to Rs. 999.4 lakhs. The expenditure as against the

-:: 275 ::-

revised estimates was Rs. 843 lakhs. During 2007-08, the budget estimate

provided for the scheme is Rs. 1000 lakhs with RE of Rs1000 lakhs. The

expenditure reported as on December, 2007 is Rs. 648 lakhs.

Macro Management of Agriculture SchemeMacro Management of Agriculture SchemeMacro Management of Agriculture SchemeMacro Management of Agriculture Scheme

Agriculture being a State Subject, the primary responsibility for

increasing agriculture production, enhancing productivity and exploring

the vast untapped potential of the sector rests with the State

Governments. However, in order to supplement the efforts of the State

Governments, a number of Centrally Sponsored and Central Sector

Schemes are being implemented by the Department of Agriculture and

Cooperation for enhancement of agricultural production and productivity in

the country, and consequential increase in farm income.

In 2000-01, 27 ongoing Centrally Sponsored Schemes were

integrated under the Macro Management of Agriculture (MMA) Scheme

with the objective to provide sufficient flexibility to the States to develop

and pursue the programmes on the basis of their regional priorities. Thus

the States have been given a free hand to finalize their sector-wise

allocation as per the goals and objectives set out in their Work Plans.

The 27 Centrally Sponsored Schemes subsumed under Macro

Management of Agriculture (MMA) Scheme related to Cooperative, Crop

Production Programmes (for rice, wheat, coarse cereals, jute, sugarcane)

Watershed Development Programme (NWDPRA, RVP / FPR), Horticulture,

Fertilizer, Mechanization and Seeds Production Programme. However,

with the launching of National Horticulture Mission (NHM) in the year 2005-

06, 10 schemes pertaining to horticulture development were taken out of

the purview of this Scheme.

The approved pattern of assistance under the scheme is in the

ratio of 90:10 between the Centre and the States respectively. For the

North – Eastern States, 100% Central assistance is extended. The Central

Assistance to the States is released in two installments in the ratio of

80% Grant and 20% Loan. 50 per cent of the allocation is released as

-:: 276 ::-

first instalment. The release of second and final instalment is considered

on the fulfillment of the following conditions.

(i) Utilization Certificate for the funds released up to previous

financial year.

(ii) Expenditure of at least 60% of available funds, i.e. unspent

balance of the previous year plus the releases in the first

instalment.

(iii) Full release of the corresponding share of the State

Government.

The release of the second and final installment is made on “graded”

basis depending on the time of reportingtime of reportingtime of reportingtime of reporting of the utilization of the amount

sanctioned as also the receipt of the complete proposalreceipt of the complete proposalreceipt of the complete proposalreceipt of the complete proposal for release of the

second installment. The “graded” release is made in the following

manner:-

Proposals received in:

October to December - 50% of allocated funds

January - 40% of allocated funds

February - 30% of allocated funds

March - 20% of allocated funds

In order to avoid thin spread of resources, focused attention under

the MMA Scheme is given to such priority areas as Watershed

Development, Seed Replacement Rates (SRR), Integrated Nutrient

Management, Integrated Pest Management and Farm Mechanization.

Nearly 45-50% of the outlay is spent on Natural Resource Management

activities, and about 50% on Crop Production Programmes, which include

Agricultural Mechanization (10 -15%), Integrated Nutrient and Pest

Management activities (10-15%), Seed Development Programme (5-10%)

and Innovative Schemes (10%).

During 2007-08, an amount of Rs.1,100 crore has been provided for

implementation of the Scheme. Out of this, an amount of Rs.1,076 crore

has been earmarked for releases to the States/UTs, Rs.14 crore for the

releases under the Direct Funded Components (DFCs) and Rs.10 crore for

releases to the Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC). An amount of Rs 886.73

crore, had been released to States / UTs upto 28th January 2008....

-:: 277 ::-

The evaluation studies of MMA Scheme conducted by the Indian

Institute of Management, Calcutta, NABARD Consultancy Ltd and

Agriculture Finance Corporation Ltd in different regions of the country

have indicated that the macro management mode of intervention has been

quite successful as it gives the State Governments flexibility to implement

activities of their choice to meet their specified needs.

Based on the Zero Based Budgeting discussions with the Planning

Commission and in the context of the introduction of new initiatives,

namely National Food Security Mission (NFSM) and Rashtriya Krishi Vikas

Yojana (RKVY), a proposal to revise the MMA Scheme is under

consideration.

This is a central plan scheme to provide necessary financial support

to the National Rainfed Area Authority. The scheme started during the

financial year, 2007-08.

The Union Government constituted the National Rainfed Area

Authority on 3.11.2006 to give focused attention to the problem of the

rainfed areas of the country. The Authority is an advisory, policy making

and monitoring body, charged with the role of examining guidelines of

various existing schemes and for providing a road map for sustainable

development of rainfed areas of the country. Its mandate is wider than

mere water conservation and covers all aspects of sustainable and holistic

development of rainfed areas, including appropriate farming and livelihood

system approaches. The Authority is also expected to focus on issues

pertaining to landless and marginal farmers, since they constitute the

large majority of inhabitants of rainfed areas.

National Rainfed Area Authority has a two tier structure. The first

tier is the Governing Board that will provide necessary leadership and

appropriate coordination in implementation of programmes. The

Governing Board is chaired by the Union Agriculture Minister and co-

chaired by the Union Rural Development Minister. The second tier is the

Executive Committee consisting of technical experts and representatives

from stakeholder Ministries. The Executive Committee is headed by the

Chief Executive Officer and have five other full time technical experts. The

Authority has been operationalized with the joining of Chief Executive

Officer on 14.05.07. The five Technical Experts have also been appointed.

The mandate of the National Rainfed Area Authority is as follows:

1) To prepare a perspective plan, outlining the national strategy and

road map for holistic and sustainable development of rainfed farming

areas.

2) To evolve common guidelines for all schemes of different Ministries

including Externally Aided Projects for development of Rainfed / Dry

land Farming systems.

-:: 285 ::-

3) To coordinate and bring convergence within and among agricultural

and wasteland development programmes being implemented in

rainfed areas of the country.

4) To identify rainfed areas in different States which need priority

attention and prepare watershed development programmes for

integrated natural resource management in consultation with States,

focusing on multi dimensional crop, livestock, horticulture, agri-

pasture integrated systems and programmes for landless farming

communities.

5) To identify gaps in input supply, credit availability, dissemination of

appropriate technology and other requirements relevant for rainfed

areas.

6) Guide the implementing agencies on priority setting and monitor the

specific interventions required.

7) To develop plans/ programmes for capacity building of Centre / State

Government functionaries in rainfed areas.

8) To suggest modalities to strengthen National and State Level

Institutions concerned with Rainfed/ Dryland areas, and establish

institutional linkages with prioritized watersheds.

9) Monitor disbursement of rural credit/ insurance cover/ safety net

programmes developed for rainfed areas.

10)Set the research agenda including a critical appraisal of on-going

programmes and promote diffusion of required knowledge for

integrated farming in rainfed areas to district and lower level

authorities.

11)To evaluate the effectiveness of completed watersheds and

concurrent evaluation of on-going programmes.

The National Watershed Development Project for Rainfed Areas is

the main programme of this Department, for development of rainfed areas

through Watershed Development approach. The National Watershed

Development Project for Rainfed Areas was launched in 1990-91. During

Eighth Five year Plan this programme was implemented in 25 States and 2

Union Territories. The project continued during the Ninth and Tenth Five

Year Plan in 28 States (including three newly formed States of

Uttarakhand, Jharkhand & Chhattisgarh) and 2 Union Territories (Andaman

& Nicobar Islands and Dadra and Nagar Haveli). The Programme is

continuing during the XI Plan in all 28 States and two UTs.

The broad objectives of the National Watershed Development Project

For Rainfed Areas are as follows:

• Conservation, development and sustainable management of

natural resources including their use;

• Enhancement of agricultural productivity and production in a

sustainable manner;

-:: 287 ::-

• Restoration of ecological balance in the degraded and fragile

rainfed eco-system by greening these areas through appropriate

mix of trees, shrubs and grasses;

• Reduction in regional disparity between irrigated and rainfed

areas;

• Creation of sustained employment opportunities for the rural

community including the landless.

. During Ninth Five Year Plan, an area of 27.66 lakh was treated

with an expenditure of Rs.911.00 crores. During the Tenth Five Year Plan

an area of 24.14 lakh ha was treated by the States/UTs, by incurring an

expenditure of Rs. 1156.93 crores.

The scheme of National Watershed Development Project for Rainfed

Areas has been subsumed under the Scheme of “Macro-Management of

Agriculture through Work Plans” from 2000-01. The scheme is being

continued for implementation during Eleventh Plan period and a tentative

target of 521786 ha at an estimated cost of Rs. 292.27 crores has been

approved for the year 2007-08 as per the annual plans submitted by the

Under this component, credit linked back-ended capital subsidy is

provided at the rate of 25% of the project cost subject to a maximum limit

of Rs. 25.00 lakh per unit on seed infrastructure development. Private

Companies, individual entrepreneurs, self-help groups and seed co-

operatives are eligible for subsidy. The component is implemented through

Commercial Banks and National Co-operative Development Corporation

(NCDC). The assistance is for creation of infrastructure facilities relating

to seed cleaning, grading, processing, seed treating, packaging and

storage units as well as for seed testing facilities. This assistance is

primarily for low value and high volume seeds. National Seed Corporation

is the nodal agency for implementation and monitoring of this component.

ii) Seed Village SchemeSeed Village SchemeSeed Village SchemeSeed Village Scheme : To upgrade the quality of farmer-saved seed,

which is about 80-85% of the total seed used for crop production

programme, financial assistance is provided for distribution of

foundation/certified seed at 50% cost of the seed of crops for production of

certified/quality seeds only and for training on seed production and

technology to the farmers.

The seed produced in these seed villages are preserved/stored till

the next sowing season. In order to encourage farmers to develop storage

the State and (b) the actual cost, restricted to a maximum limit of Rs. 60

per quintal whichever is less for the movement of seed within the State

from State capital / district Headquarters to sale outlets / sale counters.

iv) Establishment and Maintenance of Seed BankEstablishment and Maintenance of Seed BankEstablishment and Maintenance of Seed BankEstablishment and Maintenance of Seed Bank:- In order to ensure that

seeds are available to the farmers at the time of natural calamities like

floods, droughts, etc., a need was felt to establish a Seed Bank to maintain

stocks of foundation and certified seeds of different crops/varieties which

can be utilized for such contingent requirements. Hence, during the IX

Plan period, Establishment and Maintenance of Seed Bank Scheme was

implemented through National Seed Corporation, State Farms Corporation

of India and State Seed Corporations. During Tenth Plan period, it is

continued through NSC, SFCI and State Seed Corporations. Under this

component, crop-wise targets of seeds are fixed for each participating

organization for maintenance in the Seed Bank every year.

mentioned infrastructure facilities is also considered on case to case

basis. The assistance is available in the form of grant for the specific

purpose of creating infrastructure facilities mentioned above only.

vii)Human Resource DevelopmentHuman Resource DevelopmentHuman Resource DevelopmentHuman Resource Development:- About 85% of the seeds sown in the

country are farm-saved seeds where the quality is not assured. This

component has been introduced to upgrade the quality of farm-saved

seeds. Dissemination of knowledge and technology transfer of seed

production is being done through organizing exhibitions, slide shows, video

film shows, field demonstrations, farmers meet, seed day, etc. Provision

of technological know-how to farmers is also encouraged to enable them

to take up seed production in a big way.

Reasons for short fallReasons for short fallReasons for short fallReasons for short fall

The shortfall under various components of Oilseeds Programme

during 2006-07 and 2007-08 can be attributed to the following reasons:

i) The projection of targets under various components was made based on

the approved action plan of the implementing states wherein the

requirement of funds for implementation was also projected and which

was more than the allocation made to the state. Hence, the achievement

is less than the targets under various components but commensurate with

the allotted funds.

ii) The shortfall and excess in achievement of targets under various

components also occurred because of diversion of funds from some of the

approved components to the other approved components as per the

provision of the scheme.

The funds under the scheme are required to be released to the States for

fields crops viz., oilseeds, pulses, oil palm and maize, which are sown in kharif

season starting in June/July every year. Hence, most of the funds are required

at initial stage of sowing. As such, 50% of the funds are released to the States

and implementing agencies in the month of April-May every year. By the end of

2nd quarter of the financial year, it is ensured that these agencies have at least

80% of the allocation together with the unspent balance of the previous year.

Remaining 20% of the allocation is released in the third and fourth quarters of

the respective financial year keeping in view the progress made by the

respective state/implementing agency, programme approved, commitment, if

any, received from the respective States etc. Tentative progress of expenditure

for the complete year is obtained in a meeting with participating States and

agencies in the month of February so as to plan allocations for the next year.

Final progress of expenditure along with utilization certificate in GFR form 19-A

are sent by the agencies/States before the end of first quarter of financial year.
