(SHRI S.S. AHLUWALIA)

(a) & (b): Normally, assistance to Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) associated with agriculture sector is not provided directly by the Government of India. The States are free to provide such assistance under some schemes and programmes. However, the Indian Council  of  Agricultural  Research  (ICAR)  has  sanctioned  101  Krishi  Vigyan  Kendras (KVKs) under the administrative control of NGOs in the country including 7 KVKs in the state  of  Madhya  Pradesh.  Therefore,  funds  have  been  provided  to  these  NGOs  for implementing the KVKs activities. The funds were provided to NGOs for KVK activities and not for NGOs activities. The State-wise and NGO-wise details of financial assistance provided for KVKs activities for the last 3 years are given in Annexure-I.

(c) Irregularities have been found in the utilization of funds by Bhatavasalam Memorial Trust (Thanjavur KVK of Tamil Nadu State).  Show cause notice has been issued in this regard. In the mean time the host organizations of KVKs Thanjvaur as well as Tirunelveli, Tamilnadu have moved the Court and the matter is sub-judice.
