(a) & (b): In order to increase the agricultural production and make the country self reliant, Government has been implementing various crops development programmes/schemes such as National  Food  Security  Mission  (NFSM),  Rashtriya  Krishi  Vikas  Yojana  (RKVY),  National Mission on Oilseeds and  Oil Palm  (NMOOP),  Mission  for  Integrated Development  of Horticulture  (MIDH),  etc.    The  implementation  of  the  above  programmes  coupled  with  other programmes has  increased  substantially  the  production  of  not  only  the  foodgrains  crops  but also the horticultural crops. In view of a record production of foodgrains & horticultural crops in 2016-17, the country has become self-reliant in most of the commodities. The production of the above crops during 2016-17 (terminal year of 12 th Plan) as compared to 2011-12 (terminal year of 11 th Plan) is as under:
