National Food Security Mission
In view of the stagnating food grain production and an increasing consumption need of
the growing population, Government of India has launched this Centrally Sponsored Scheme,
‘National Food Security Mission’ in August 2007.

Introduction: To implement the resolution of
National Development Council (NDC) which
envisages to increase the production of Rice,
Wheat and Pulses to the tune of 10 million tons, 8
million tons and 2 million tons respectively, a
Centrally Sponsored Scheme, 'National Food
Security Mission' (NFSM) has been launched from
2007-08 in 311 districts of 17 States. NFSM has
three sub-components viz:
NFSM-Rice
NFSM-Wheat
NFSM-Pulses
Mission Objectives: Increasing production of rice,
wheat and pulses through area expansion, and
productivity enhancement in a sustainable
manner in the identified districts of the country
through:
Restoring soil fertility and productivity at the
individual farm level;
Creation of employment opportunities; and
Enhancing farm level economy to restore
confidence among the farmers.
Implementation Strategy: The approach adopted
includes active involvement of all stakeholders in
planning, execution and monitoring of the
programme, promotion and extension of
improved technologies (seed, nutrients, plant
protection, soi l amendments, resource
conservation, farm machines and tools),
integration of interventions with district plan,
regular monitoring and concurrent evaluation for
impact assessment.
Rice: The productivity of districts selected under
NFSM-rice is less than the average productivity of
the state and the district has at least 50,000 ha
area under rice crop.
Wheat: The productivity of districts selected
under NFSM-wheat is less than the average
productivity of the state and at least 50% of the
area under wheat is irrigated.
Pulses: Districts selected under NFSM-Pulses has
potential for expansion of area under pulses
through intercropping, use of rice-fallow and
replacement of upland rice.
Criteria for Selection districts:

Mission Structure: A General Council (GC)
constituted under the Chairmanship of
Agriculture Minster is the policy making body
providing suitable directives and guidance to the
mission and review overall progress of the
scheme. The GC is empowered to lay down and
amend the operational guidelines, decide need-
based reallocation of resources across states and
districts and approve projects as per the
requirements. However, the subsidy norms as
approved by the Government shall in no
circumstances be exceeded for any of the Mission
components. A special Food Security Cell has been
created in the Crops Division to provide necessary
support to GC and NFSMEC. The GC is empowered
to include or exclude a district for implementation
of NFSM.
Food Security Mission Executive Committees
(FSMEC) at the National, State and District level
has been constituted under the chairmanship of
Secretary (A&C), Chief Secretary of respective
states and the district Collector or Chief Executive
of Zila Parishad respectively.
A National mission Director and State Mission
Director in all NFSM States are appointed who are
also member secretary of the respective
Executive Committee at National and state level
respectively. National Mission Director is also the
member secretary of the General Council
Implementation: The State Governments have
nominated a suitable autonomous agency
registered under the Socieities Registration Act
for implementing the Mission at the State and
district level. Project Management teams (PMT)
have been constituted at National, State and
District level. Technical experts and other staff
appointed on contractual basis for technology
transfer and implementation of the Mission
support PMTs at all levels.
Role of Panchayati Raj Institutions: Panchayati
Raj Institutions are actively involved in following
activities:
Selection of beneficiary and identification of
priority areas for the implementation of
Mission interventions; and
Implementation of local initiatives in
identified districts.
Mechanism of Fund Flow: Funds for the
implementation of Mission's programmes are
directly released to state level autonomous
agencies identified by the state with the approval
of NFSMEC. The state level agency ensures the
implementation of the programme, in a time
bound manner and makes funds available to the
district level agency in accordance with their
programmes.
Monitoring: NFM has a strong mechanism of
monitoring and Evaluation with the involvement
of all implementing agencies and the line
departments. At National level a committee
constituted under the chairmanship of Mission
Director monitors the activities of the mission.
Directorates of Rice, Wheat and Pulses
Development are actively involved in monitoring

the NFSM activities in eastern, northern and
Central & southern states respectively.
Information communication technology is used to
monitor the field activities.
Evaluation: A baseline survey will be conducted
by the State Department responsible for
Economic and Statistics to know the resource
endowment of the farmers and the level of
productivity. Concurrent evaluation is to be done
every year by the State Statistical Department
every year.
In the third year of the implementation of NFSM,
mid term evaluation at the National level is
proposed to be undertaken through an
independent agency/organization on its
performance and shortcomings so as to take the
remedial measures / make required changes in
the scheme and its method of implementation. An
impact Evaluation Study at the National level is
also proposed through an independent agency
after the third year of implementation to assess
the impact of the schemes.
Position of Ongoing Schemes: The Centrally
Sponsored Scheme on Integrated Cereal
Development Programme (ICDP Rice/Wheat)are
discontinued in the NFSM-Rice and MFSM-Wheat
districts. Similarly the Integrated Scheme on
Pulses, Oilseeds and Maize has ceased to operate
in additional areas identified
