## ANSWER

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

कृ ष एवं कसान कयाण मंालय म राय मंी ( SHRI GAJENDRA SINGH SHEKHAWAT)

- (a): In  order  to  address  the  constraints  limiting the  productivity of 'rice  based  cropping systems' in Eastern India, the programme of 'Bringing Green Revolution to Eastern India (BGREI)' is being implemented in seven (7) States including Odisha. From the year 201516, under the activity of cropping system based demonstrations of rice, the pulses have been included as second crop after harvesting of rice, for which at least 30% of the fund out of total fund of demonstration is provided.
- (b): State-wise and years-wise production of rice and allocation & release under BGREI from the year 2010-11 to 2018-19 are given at Annexure-I & II, respectively.
- (c) to (d): Government of India announces Minimum Support Price (MSP) for specified agricultural produces on the basis of recommendations of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP), the views of State Governments and Central Ministries and other factors  considered  important  for  fixation  of  support  prices.    The  objective  of  the  MSP mechanism  is  to  provide  a  guarantee  to  the  farmers  to  realize  a  reasonable  and remunerative price for their produce.

Government has increased the MSPs for all notified Kharif & Rabi Crops including pulses  and  other  commercial  crops  for  the  season  2018-19  with  a  return  of  atleast  50 percent over cost of production. This decision of the Government was a historic one as it redeemed the promise of fixing the MSPs at least at a level of 50 percent return over cost of production as announced in the Union Budget 2018-19.

Government of India is implementing umbrella scheme of 'Pradhan Mantri Annadata Aay SanraksHan Abhiyan' (PM-AASHA), comprising Price Support Scheme (PSS), Price Deficiency  Payment  Scheme  (PDPS)  and  Pilot  of  Private  Procurement  and  Stockist Scheme (PPSS). Under this, States/UTs are offered to choose either of PSS and PDPS in a  given  procurement season with respect to particular oilseeds crop for the entire State. The pulses and copra are procured under PSS.  Further, States have the option to roll out Private Procurement and Stockist Scheme (PPSS) on pilot basis in district/selected APMC (s) of district involving the participation of private stockist.
