कृ ष एवं कसान कयाण मंी (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

- (a): This  Ministry  has  launched  an  umbrella  scheme  of  'Pradhan  Mantri  Annadata  Aay Sanrakshan Abhiyan' (PM-AASHA) by incorporating the erstwhile Price Support Scheme (PSS) with certain modifications and rolling out of new schemes of Price Deficiency Payment Scheme (PDPS) and pilot of Private Procurement and Stockist Scheme (PPSS) in 2018. During the year 2018-19, an expenditure of Rs. 1395 crore was reimbursed under PSS to the Central Nodal Agency towards losses incurred in undertaking PSS operations.
- (b): The procurement of pulses, oilseeds and copra under umbrella scheme of PM-AASHA till 25.02.2020 is 65 lakhs Metric ton having MSP value of Rs  30,120.62   crore. The State-wise procurement along with the MSP value under PSS and coverage under PDPS during 2018-19 and 2019-20 is at Annexure-I. The expenditure under PSS is Rs. 1395 crore for 2018-19 and Rs 1658.26 crore for 2019-20. Under the PSS, Losses incurred, if any, is reimbursed to the Central Nodal Agencies. Since inception of PM-AASHA, no proposal has been received from the Government of Bihar for the implementation of the above schemes.
- (c): The Budget allocation of PSS, PDPS and pilot PPSS under PM-AASHA during 2019-20 was Rs. 4500 crore.  The  PDPS for  Soyabean  was  implemented  in  Madhya  Pradesh  during 2018. Accordingly under PDPS , during 2019-20, the budget provision was revised to Rs 321 based on the information received from the government of Madhya Pradesh.
- (d): The  Budget  allocation  for  2020-21  under  PSS/MIS  head  is  Rs  2000  crore  and PDPS/PPSS is Rs 500 Crore. The estimated expenditure under PM-AASHA (PSS/PDPS/PPSS) depends upon the States / UTs option for implementation of PSS or PDPS for  the  particular  oilseeds  in  the  season  and  the  prevailing  market  price  in  the  mandies. However,  the  Budget  allocation  for  the  year  can  be  revised  based  on  the  requirement  of Scheme implementation.

(e): All  the  proposals  received  from  State  Governments  under  these  schemes have  been approved as per the extant guidelines.
