## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES (SHRI PRAHLAD SINGH PATEL)

However, the  Schemes  for  Integrated  Cold  Chain  and  Value  Addition  Infrastructure,  Agro Processing Cluster and Mega Food Park includes setting up cold storage facilities as one of its components. These schemes are demand driven schemes, and potential entrepreneurs from all over the country, including from Karbi Anglong autonomous district (ST) State of Assam can apply for the projects under the schemes against Expression of Interest (EoI) issued from time to time. The projects are considered for selection for grants- in- aid first by Technical Committee and then by Inter-Ministerial Approval Committee (IMAC), according to the eligibility criteria provided under the relevant scheme guidelines. Stand alone cold storage projects are supported by Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare under their Mission for Integrated  Development of Horticulture (MIDH).

(b): Details of cold storage facilities created from completed Cold Chain projects, and Mega Food Parks in the country including State of Assam are in the Annexures A and B .  Information received from Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare regarding stand alone cold storage projects is at Annexure C .

.

(c) & (d): Ministry has approved one project namely M/s Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council at Karbi Anglong in Assam under Agro Processing Cluster Scheme under which cold storage of 1000 MT capacity has been provided as part of core processing infrastructure.

- (e): does not arise.
