## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES (SHRI RAMESWAR TELI)

(a): No, Sir. Ministry of Food Processing Industries is presently not implementing Food Parks  scheme.  However,  Ministry  of  Food  Processing  Industries  has  been  implementing Mega Food Park Scheme (MFPS) to create modern  infrastructure  for the  food  processing. Government has sanctioned a total of 42 slots of Mega Food Park Projects in the country. Out of  these,  Ministry  has  accorded  final  approval  to  38  Mega  Food  Park  Projects  and  inprinciple approval to 4 Mega Food Park projects. Presently, there is no vacant slot to be filled in.   Ministry  of  Food  Processing  Industries  does  not  establish  Mega  Food  Parks  in  the country on its own. The proposals under the scheme  for Mega Food Parks of Ministry are invited through Expression of Interest (EOI) from time to time. At present, Ministry has not floated  any  EoI  for  submission  of  proposals  under  the  Scheme.  As  on  date,  there  is  no proposal under consideration to setup any new Mega Food Parks in the country.

(b): Ministry has approved setting up of 27 Mega Food Parks in the country during last five years under the Mega Food Park scheme. Out of these, 23 Mega Food Parks have been accorded final approval, 4 Mega Food Parks accorded in-principle approval by the Ministry. The  details  of  these  27  Mega  Food  Parks  approved  by  the  Ministry  during  last  five  years under the Mega Food Park Scheme with their status of implementation along with amount of grant released is at Annexure-I. The proposals under scheme for Mega Food Park are invited through Expression of Interest (EOI) from time to time. Selection of suitable proposals for these projects is done as per the Scheme guidelines, based on the merit, through a stringent appraisal process as per the prefixed criteria. The proposal submitted in response to the EoI are evaluated  by  the  Program  Management  Agencis  (PMAs).  The  PMAs  undertake evaluation on a scale of 100 points on the basis of proposals received in response to EoI;

while  the  TC  undertakes  independent  evaluation  on  a  scale  of  50  points  as  per  scheme guidelines.  Technical  Committee  headed  by  the  Additional  /  Joint  Secretary  provide  its recommendations to the Inter-Ministerial Approval Committee. The Inter-Ministerial Approval  Committee  (IMAC),  headed  by  Hon'ble  Minister  of  Food  Processing  Industries selects the projects and grant 'In-Principle' and 'Final Approval' to the projects as per the scheme guidelines.

(c): No,  Sir.  However, Ministry  has  earlier  received  proposals  from  State  Government entity namely Odisha Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation(IDCO), Odisha and accorded  final  approval  to  the  project  on  06.11.2015  for  setting  up  of  Mega  Food  Park  at Khurda, Odisha, which is under Implementation.
