## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE

कृ षि एवं ककसान कल्याण मंत्रालय में राज्य मंत्री (SHRI  PARSHOTTAM  RUPALA)

(a) & (b):   No Madam. The earlier National Bamboo Mission was largely focused on bamboo plantations in both forest and non-forest areas. The details are at Annexure I. The lacuna of the weak linkage  between  farmer  (producer)  and  markets  has  been  removed  in  the  restructured National Bamboo Mission (NBM) launched this year by addressing the complete value chain of bamboo sector for better realisation of economic returns to the growers as well as the bamboo industry of the country.

- (c): During 2015-16, an amount of Rs. 175.00 lakh was released to Maharashtra as central share,  out  of  which  Rs.  60.62  lakh  has  been  spent  and  remaining  fund  of  Rs.  114.38  lakh remains as unspent balance with the State Government. During 2016-17 & 2017-18, Rs. 18.02 lakh  and  Rs.  16.68  lakh,  respectively  was  allocated  to  the  State  for  maintenance  of  bamboo plantation  raised  earlier,  but  due  to  this  unspent  balance  no  fund  could  be  released  to Maharashtra.
- (d):        As  per  the  reports  received  from  States,  the  details  of  plantation  raised  under  earlier National Bamboo Mission from 2006-07 to 2015-16 is given at Annexure I. Funds were released in 2016-17 and 2017-18 only for maintenance of plantations raised in previous years. No new activities were approved.
