## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE

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

(a) & (b): Yes Sir, the Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojna (PKVY) had an RE of Rs. 100 crores for the financial year 2021-22. However,  the  Actual  Expenditure  (AE)  under  PKVY during 2021-22 was Rs 88.58 crores and not Rs 32.00 crores. The pace of release of funds was  low  owing  to  non-compliance  by  the  states  of  the  new  procedure  as  per  the  new guidelines  issued  by  Department  of  Expenditure,  in  2020-21  to  electronically  capture  on real  time  basis  the  details  about  fund  utilization,  unspent  balance,  accrued  interest, mapping  of  Single  Nodal  Agency  (SNA)/child  Agency  on  Public  Finance  Management System (PFMS) portal. States were requested to implement the new guidelines of Ministry of Finance and provide prescribed checklists / undertakings while submitting proposal for release of funds.

Budget estimates are prepared by the department on the basis of actual release in the  previous  year  and  the  estimated  demand  in  the  current  year.  However,  the  actual release  of  funds  is  dependent  upon  various  enabling  conditions  like  utilization  of  funds released earlier, submission of Utilization certificate, receipt of physical-financial progress, receipt  of  matching  State  share  compliance  by  States  /UT's  of  relevant  Government  of India  guidelines  etc.  Non  fulfillment  of  enabling  conditions  adversely  affects  the  release funds to States/ UTs.

Despite regular follow up with State Governments through Video Conferencing and correspondences, most of the States were not able to provide prescribed checklists/undertaking / UCs etc. as per Department of Expenditure, Government of India's guidelines. Surrender of unspent balance and mapping of Single Nodal Agency (SNA) on Public  Finance  Management  System  (PFMS)  portal  were  also  not  completed  by  States. This led to low AE under PKVY during 2021-22

- (c): During 2019-20 to 2020-21, Rs 92.40 crore was released to Andhra Pradesh under PKVY and Rs 7.50 crore was released under BPKP. Since the Andhra Pradesh State did not submit the UC and there was huge unspent balance, neither new area was sanctioned to  Andhra Pradesh during 2021-22 nor any fund was released, even though provision of 21.73  Cr  was  kept  for  the  state  of  Andhra  Pradesh  during  2021-22  under  BPKP programme. Also the state did not fulfill the criteria/ comply with the guidelines laid down by Ministry of Finance for release of funds.
- (d) & (e): Government is implementing Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY) since 2015-16 for promotion of organic farming in all the states other-than North Eastern States in the country including Uttar Pradesh. The scheme provides financial assistance for end to end  support  to  farmers  engaged  in  organic  farming  for  various  components  i.e.  from production  to  processing,  certification  and  marketing  and  post  harvest  management support  including  processing.  Training,  handholding  and  capacity  building  on  organic farming are integral part of the scheme.

As per information received from Government of Uttar Pradesh, Project Coordination Unit, Uttar Pradesh Agriculture Support Project (UPDASP), is implementing organic farming under  PKVY  in  Shahjahanpur  Parliamentary  Constituencies  since  2020-21.  Total  15 clusters have been formed in 300 ha area comprising 446 farmers. PGS Green and PGS Organic certificates have been issued to all farmers selected under the PKVY scheme in Shahjahanpur.  18  clusters  comprising  of  783  farmers  are  being  implemented  in  Kanpur Nagar under Mishrikh  Parliamentary  Constituency  and  783  PGS  Green  certificates  have been issued so far.

(f): The  Details  of  the  State-wise  allocation,  released  &  expenditure  under  PKVY scheme during last 3 years is given at Annexure- I and the number of beneficiary under PKVY is given at Annexure - II.
