## ANSWER

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

(a) to (d): Ministry of Food Processing Industries(MoFPI) does not set up food processing units and food parks on its own. However, it has been implementing a central sector umbrella scheme  -  Pradhan  Mantri  Kisan  SAMPADA  Yojana  (PMKSY)  for  overall  growth  and development of food processing sector of the country. PMKSY is not region or state specific but demand driven and is implemented across the country including in the state of Gujarat and Uttar  Pradesh.  Under  its  component  scheme  -  Creation  /  Expansion  of  Food  Processing &   Preservation Capacities scheme, MoFPI provides grants-in-aid to entrepreneurs for setting up of food processing units, whereas under the Mega Food Parks scheme and Infrastructure   for Agro Processing Clusters scheme, it provides grants-in-aid for setting up of Mega food Parks & Agro Processing Clusters respectively. Proposals for financial assistance are invited through Expression of Interest (EoI) under these component schemes. The state-wise status of projects approved, including in the state of Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh, and Budgetary Estimate (BE) for 2021-22 for these component schemes is placed at Annexure-I and Annexure-II respectively .
