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:

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

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
Rules also based on the Model APMC Act and circulated the same to
the States in November, 2007 to facilitate drafting of modified
Rules under their amended Acts.

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.

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.

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.

d. So far seven Agriculture Censuses from 1970-71 and six Input
Surveys since 1976-77 have been completed. The 8th Agriculture Census
2005-06 and 7th Input Survey 2006-07 have already been launched in the
country, and these two operations are targeted to be completed by March,
2008 .
B. ObjectivesObjectivesObjectivesObjectives
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 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.

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.

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.

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’

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.

based development financing institution created exclusively for the
cooperative sector with the objective of planning and promoting
programmes for production, processing, marketing, storage, export and
-:: 138 ::-
import of agricultural produce, foodstuff and certain notified commodities
on cooperative principles. With amendment of the NCDC Act in 2002, its
scope of activities has been widened to cover livestock, cottage and
village industries, handicrafts, rural crafts and certain notified services
besides enabling NCDC to lend directly to cooperative societies. Security
to the satisfaction of the Corporation is furnished by the borrowing
cooperatives.
2. The Corporation provides funds to the State Governments under two
major heads namely, (i) Central Sector/Centrally Sponsored Schemes and
(ii) Corporation Sponsored Schemes. The Central Schemes are being
funded by the Central Government jointly with Corporation’s funds. Under
the Central Sector Scheme, subsidy is provided by the Govt. of India, and
loan is provided by the Corporation out of its own resources. Besides, the
Corporation also operates a few schemes exclusively funded from its own
resources. Funding is done as per prescribed patterns of assistance as
follows:-
a. Funds are provided under various sub-heads/sub-schemes, which
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
-:: 139 ::-

procuring agencies are shared between Central Government and the
concerned State Government on 50:50 basis (75:25 in case of North-

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.

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.
Coverage of SC/STCoverage of SC/STCoverage of SC/STCoverage of SC/ST
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.

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.

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.
The financial outlay for 2007-08 is Rs. 673.50 lakhs, out of which an
amount of Rs 478.82 lakh has been released up to 31.12.2007.

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-

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.

• 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.

production units under NPOF @ 25% of the project cost, up to a maximum
of Rs.40.00 lakh per unit for fruit/vegetable waste compost production
units, Rs.20.00 lakh per unit for bio-fertilizer production units and Rs.1.50

To create database and information on the pattern of pesticide
residue levels on major agri-commodities through existing agencies under
government and using private laboratories. This data is useful for taking up
public awareness programmes and launching IPM activities to reduce the
incidence of pesticide residue.
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.
Three Plan Schemes are being implemented by Plant Protection Division of
DAC through Directorate of Plant Protection, Quarantine & Storage and
details of which are given below:

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

TMOP Division is administering one Centrally Sponsored Integrated
Scheme of Oilseeds, Pulses, Oilpalm and Maize(ISOPOM) and one Central
Sector Scheme Integrated Development of Tree Borne Oilseeds(TBOs).
The Central Sector scheme “Integrated Development of Tree Borne
Oilseeds(TBOs)” is being implemented through NOVOD Board for promotion
of tree borne oilseeds in the country including Jatropha and Karanja.
ISOPOMISOPOMISOPOMISOPOM
The Centrally Sponsored Integrated Scheme of Oilseeds, Pulses,
Oilpalm & Maize(ISOPOM) is being implemented in 14 major States for
Oilseeds and Pulses, 15 States for Maize and 10 states for Oil Palm. . . .
ISOPOM is being implemented by the State Governments through their
departments of Agriculture, Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR),
NSC, SFCI, KRIBHCO, NAFED and IFFCO. ICAR is the nodal agency for
production of breeder seed and conducting Front Line Demonstrations
(FLDs).
Under the scheme, assistance is provided for purchase of breeder
seed, production of foundation seed and distribution of certified seed,
distribution of seed minikits, distribution of plant protection equipments,
weedicides, supply of rhizobium culture/phosphate solubilising bacteria,
supply of improved farm implements, micro-nutrients, distribution of
gypsum/pyrite/lime/dolomite, distribution of sprinkler sets and water carrying
pipes, publicity etc. to encourage farmers to grow pulses on a large scale. In
order to disseminate information on improved production technologies among
the farmers, block demonstrations and Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
demonstrations are organized through State Department of Agriculture and
Frontline demonstrations through ICAR.

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.
