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

- (b)  to  (d): The PMKSY has largely achieved its objectives and has substantially benefitted farmers  across  the  country  including  Tamil  Nadu  State.  Ministry  does  not  face  any  major challenges in implementation of the PMKSY in the state. The evaluation studies conducted for the  relevant  component  schemes of PMKSY have also concluded substantial benefit to the farmers  from  assisted  projects.  The  evaluation  study  of  Integrated  Cold  Chain  and  Value Addition  Infrastructure  Scheme  under  PMKSY,  conducted  by  M/s  NABARD  Consultancy Limited (NABCONS) in Year 2020, has estimated that captive projects under the scheme have
- resulted in increase in farm-gate prices by 12.38 % and each project is estimated to benefit more than 9500 farmers. Ministry has restructured component schemes of PMKSY  for implementation during 15 th Finance Commission Cycle to further meet the objectives for the sector.
- (e): PMKSY is not any region or state specific but demand driven and financial assistance is provided to the eligible applicants selected on the basis of Expression of Interest (EoI) issued from time to time.
