(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 5 KVKs in the state of Jharkhand. 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 Statewise and NGO-wise details of financial assistance provided for KVKs activities for the last 3 years are given in Annexure-I.

1

(c) & (d): As far as irregularities in the functioning of KVKs under Administrative control of NGOs are concerned, complaints were received in KVK Thanjvaur and KVK  Tirunelveli of Tamilnadu related to construction and unauthorized use of buildings, appointment of staff, payment of salary to employees and diversion of funds. For this purpose a committee  was constituted for investigating  the  issue.  As  per  report  of  the  committee,  details  of  inadmissible expenditure incurred by the host organizations of KVK Thanjvaur and Tirunelveli have been received. 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.
