MINISTER OF  STATE IN THE  MINISTRY OF  AGRICULTURE AND  FARMERS  WELFARE

कृ ष एवं कसान कयाण मंालय म राय मंी ( SHRI PARSHOTTAM RUPALA)

- (a): The Government has set a target of doubling of farmers' income by the year 2022. For the said purpose, the Government had constituted an Inter-Ministerial Committee under the Chairmanship  of  Chief  Executive  Officer,  National  Rainfed  Area  Authority,  Department  of Agriculture,  Cooperation  and  Farmers  Welfare  to  examine  issues  relating  to  doubling  of farmers' income and recommend strategies.

The  committee  has  identified  seven  sources  of  income  growth  viz,  improvement  in crop and livestock productivity; resource use efficiency or savings in the cost of production; increase in the cropping intensity; diversification towards high value crops; improvement in real prices received by farmers; and shift from farm to non-farm occupations. The committee is also looking into the investments in and for agriculture e.g. increasing public investments for  agriculture,  i.e.  in  rural  roads,  rural  electricity,  irrigation;  the  need  for  policy  support  to enable investments by corporate sector in agriculture.

Several  initiatives  have  already  been  taken  among  each  of  the  above  mentioned strategies which, inter-alia, include:

- (i) Initiating market reforms through the State Governments.
- (ii) Encouraging  contract  farming  through  the  State  Governments  by  promulgating  of Model Contract Farming Act.
- (iii) Up  gradation  of  Gramin  Haats  to  work  as  centers  of  aggregation  and  for  direct purchase of agricultural commodities from the farmers.
- (iv) Launch of eNAM initiative to provide farmers an electronic online trading platform.
- (v) Implementation of flagship scheme of distribution of Soil Health Cards to farmers so that the use of fertilizers can be optimized.
- (vi) 'Per drop more crop' initiative under which drip/sprinkler irrigation is being encouraged for optimal utilization of water.
- (vii) 'Paramparagat  Krishi  Vikas  Yojana  (PKVY)'  under  which  organic  farming  is  being promoted.
- (viii) With  a  view  to  provide  better  insurance  coverage  to  crops  for  risk  mitigation, Government has  launched  a  crop  insurance  scheme  namely  Pradhan Mantri  Fasal Bima  Yojana  (PMFBY) from  Kharif  2016  season.  This  scheme  provides  insurance cover  for  all  stages  of  the  crop  cycle  including  post-harvest  risks  in  specified instances.
- (ix) Under 'Har Medh Par Ped', agro forestry is being promoted.  With the amendment of Indian Forest Act, 1947 Bamboo grown outside forest area has been removed from the  definition  of  trees  and  a  mission  have  been  launched  to  promote  bamboo plantation.
- (x) Giving  a  major  boost  for  the  farmers  income,  the  Government  has  approved  the increase in the Minimum Support Price (MSPs) for all Kharif & Rabi crops for 2018-19 season at a level of at least 150 percent of the cost of production.
- (XI) Giving  a  major  boost  to  the  pro-farmer  initiatives,  the  Government  has  approved  a new  Umbrella  Scheme  'Pradhan  Mantri Annadata  Aay  Sanrakshan Abhiyan(PMAASHA)'.  The Scheme is aimed at ensuring remunerative prices to the farmers for their produce as announced in the Union Budget for 2018. This is an unprecedented step taken by Govt. of India to protect the farmers' income which is expected to go a long way towards the welfare of farmers.
- (xii) Bee  keeping  has  been  promoted  under  Mission  for  Integrated  Development  of Horticulture  (MIDH)  to  increase  the  productivity  of  crops  through  pollination  and increase the honey production as an additional source of income of farmers.
- (xiii) Rashtriya Gokul Mission to enhance milk production and productivity of bovines and to make milk production more remunerative to the farmers.
- (xiv) National  Livestock  Mission  to  increase  productivity  and  genetic  improvement  of livestock.
- (xv)     Foreseeing high potential in fisheries sector, a Blue Revolution with multi dimensional activities  mainly  focusing  on  fisheries  production,  both  inland  and  marine  is  being implemented.

(b) & (c): Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) was launched on 1st July, 2015 with the motto of 'Har Khet Ko Paani' for providing end-to end solutions in irrigation supply chain, viz. water sources, distribution network and farm level applications.
