## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES (SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI)

(a) &( b): The Ministry of Food Processing Industries does not set up Food Processing Industries on its own in any part of the country.  The Ministry of Food Processing Industries has been implementing various Schemes for promotion and development of food processing sector in the country. The Ministry  of Food Processing  Industries  has  re-structured  its  schemes  under  a new  Central  Sector  Scheme  'KISAN SAMPADA YOJANA'  having seven components viz. (i) Mega Food Parks (ongoing); (ii) Integrated Cold Chain  and  Value  Addition  Infrastructure  (ongoing);  (iii)  Creation  /  Expansion  of  Food  Processing  & Preservation  Capacities  (new);  (iv)  Infrastructure  for  Agro-processing  Clusters  (new);  (v)  Creation  of Backward and Forward Linkages (new); (vi) Food Safety and Quality Assurance Infrastructure (ongoing); and  (vii)  Human  Resources  and  Institutions  (ongoing).    The  KISAN  SAMPADA  YOJANA  has  been approved  with  an  outlay  of  Rs.6000  crore  for  the  period  2016-20  coterminous  with  the  14 th Finance Commission  cycle  to  promote  food  processing in the country.  The  Farmers,  Farmers  Producers Organizations,  Entrepreneurs,  Co-operative  Societies,  Self  Help  Groups,  Private  Companies  and  State PSUs  etc.  are  eligible  to  avail  financial  assistance  under  these  schemes  for  setting  up  food  processing projects in the Country.  The schemes of this Ministry are demand driven and not specific to any region or State.    Under  the  Scheme  of  Modernization  of  Abattoirs  implemented  in  12 th Five  Year  Plan,  three proposals  were  received  from  Andhra  Pradesh,  Maharashtra  and  Uttar  Pradesh  under  Public  Private Partnership  (PPP)  Mode.      Out  of  these,  an  amount  of  Rs.15.00  crore  was  released  to  the  Greater Vishakhapatnam Municipal Corporation in Andhra Pradesh. This Ministry has accorded final approval to the projects of  Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh in October, 2016.   However, no grants are required from Ministry  of  Food  Processing  Industries  as  State  Governments  of  Maharashtra  and  Uttar  Pradesh  have selected PPP Mode partners for their projects.

(c): No  proposal  has  been  received  from  Himachal  Pradesh  under  PPP  Mode.  The  status  of  project proposals  received  from  Himachal  Pradesh  for  providing  the  financial  assistance  under  the  Schemes  of Mega Food Parks; Integrated Cold Chain and Value Addition Infrastructure and Food Testing Laboratories of the Ministry of Food Processing Industries are at Annexure.
