Note: '*'-provisional data for 2020-21

(b)&  (c): Yes,  sir.  The  Government  is  aware  of  the  growing  potentiality  and  opportunities  in  the fisheries,  animal  husbandry  and  dairying  sector.  Livestock  Sector  has  huge  potential  in  terms  of  its contribution in total economy, employment generation and world trade. Currently, livestock is one of the fastest growing agricultural subsectors in the country. It has been growing at a Compound Annual Growth  Rate  (CAGR)  of  7.93%  (at  constant  prices)  from  2014-15  to  2020-21.  Moreover,  the percentage share of Livestock Sector has increased from 24.38% in 2014-15 to 30.87% in 2020-21in Gross Value Added (GVA) of Agriculture & Allied Sector and its share in total GVA (at current prices) varies  from  4.44%  in  2014-15  to  6.17%  in  2020-21.  India  has  immense  share  in  world  production accounting for 21% of world milk production and 7% of world egg production. Further, according to Periodic  Labour  Force  Survey  (PLFS)  conducted  during  July,  2019-  June,  2020  the  percentage  of usually  working  persons  engaged  in  Animal  Production  and  Mixed  Farming  are  2.85  and  1.58 respectively.In addition, India has a notable share in world trade in livestock products. During 202021the average value of livestock product exports is Rs. 449 billion comprising 2.1% of the total export earnings.

Fisheries sector has been recognized as a 'Sunrise Sector' and has demonstrated an outstanding double-digit  average  annual  growth  of  10.87%  since  2014-15.  The  sector  has  reached  record  fish production of 142 lakh tons in Financial Year (FY) 2019-20 and has immense potential for growth. India  is  the  second  largest  fish  producing  country  in  the  world  accounting  for  7.56%  of  global production and contributing about 1.24% to the country's Gross Value Added (GVA) and over 7.28% to  the  agricultural  GVA.  Fisheries  and  aquaculture  continue  to  be  an  important  source  of  food, nutrition, income and livelihood to millions of people. Export earnings from the Fisheries sector has been Rs.467 billion during 2019-20. Moreover, it has been instrumental in sustaining the livelihoods of over  28  million  people  in  India  especially  for  marginalized  and  vulnerable  communities  and  has contributed towards encourage socio-economic development.

The details of the schemes being implemented by the ministry to catch the potential and attract more persons in the Livestock and Fisheries sectors are as under:

- i)  Rashtriya Gokul Mission (RGM): In order to compliment and supplement the efforts made by the States/Union Territories for development and conservation of indigenous cow breeds Government of India  has  been  implementing  Rashtriya  Gokul  Mission  since  2014  with  focus  on  development  and conservation of indigenous bovine breeds, genetic upgradation of bovine population and enhancement of milk production and productivity of bovines.
2. ii)  National  Programme  for  Dairy  Development  (NPDD):    The  Department  is  implementing  Central Sector Scheme, NPDD across the country since Feb-2014 with an objective of creating/strengthening of  infrastructure  for  Production  of  quality  milk,  Procurement,  Processing  and  Marketing  of  Milk  & Milk Products through State Implementing Agency (SIA) i.e., State Cooperative Dairy Federation.

iii)  Dairy  Processing and  Infrastructure Development Fund (DIDF):The Department is implementing DIDF since 21st December 2017 to modernize the milk processing & chilling plants including value addition.

iv) Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund (AHIDF): This scheme is in operational since year  2020-21  for  incentivizing  investments  for  establishment  of  animal  feed  manufacturing  units including establishment of animal feed testing laboratories thereby ensuring nutritional fodder and feed to the livestock.

v) Supporting Dairy Cooperatives and Farmer Producer Organizations (SDCFPO): This Central Sector Scheme  was  launched  during  2017-18.  The  scheme  is  being  implemented  through  National  Dairy Development Board (NDDB). Main objective of the scheme is to assist the Cooperative Societies and farmer producer organizations engaged in dairy activities by providing soft working capital loan to tide over the crisis on account of severely adverse market conditions or natural calamities.

vi) National Livestock Mission (NLM): The focus of this scheme is on entrepreneurship development and breed improvement in poultry, sheep, goat and piggery including feed and fodder development. The  scheme  is  implemented  with  three  Sub-Missions:  (a)  Sub-Mission  on  Breed  Development  of Livestock  &  Poultry,  (b)  Sub-Mission  on  Feed  and  Fodder  development  and  (c)  Sub-Mission  on Extension and Innovation.

vii)  A flagship scheme as a part of Aatma Nirbhar Bharat Package Announcement namely 'Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY): This scheme is to bring about Blue Revolution through sustainable  and  responsible  development  of  fisheries  sector  in  India'  with  a  highest  ever  estimate investment of Rs.20,050 crore in fisheries sector over a period of 5 years between 2020-21 and 2024-25 with  effect  from  the  last  financial  year  (i.e.  2020-21)  in  all  States/Union  Territories  (UTs)  for promotion  and  overall  development  of  Fisheries  sector  in  the  country.  The  PMMSY  envisages  to enhance fish production to 220 lakh metric tons by 2024-25 at an average annual growth rate of about 9% in fish production, increase aquaculture productivity to 5 tons per hectare, create critical fisheries infrastructure,  reduce  post-harvest  losses,  modernize  and  strengthen  value  chain,  double  export earnings  to  Rs.1,00,000  crore,  reduction  of  post-harvest  losses  upto  10%,  doubling  of  incomes  of fishers  and  fish  farmers  by  2024-25,  enhancement  of  the  domestic  fish  consumption  about  9  kg  per capita, encouragement of private investment and facilitation of growth of entrepreneurship and generate about 55 lakhs direct gainful employment opportunities and thrice the number as indirect employment opportunities (fishers, fish farmers, fish workers, fish vendors, entrepreneurs etc.) along with the supply and value chain.

viii)  Foreseeing  the  immense  scope  for  development  of  fisheries  and  aquaculture  sector,  various initiatives have been taken by this Department including launching a specified scheme on Fisheries and Aquaculture  Infrastructure  Development  Fund  (FIDF)  on  24th  October,  2018,  at  a  total  outlay  of Rs.7,522.48 crore to assist in creating several infrastructural needs of the fisheries sector in the country

(d): Yes,  sir.  The  animal  diseases  affect  trade  of  livestock  products  resulting  in  denial  of  export  to overseas  markets.  The  countries  regulate  market  access  for  livestock  products  based  upon  animal disease  status  of  exporting  country  and  considering  relevant  articles  for  animal  diseases  under Terrestrial Animal Health Code by World Organization for Animal Health (OIE).

(e)  &  (f) :  Department is implementing  Livestock Health and Disease Control Programme (LHDCP) with the aim of reducing risk to animal health by prophylactic vaccination against diseases of animals, capacity building of Veterinary services, disease surveillance and strengthening veterinary infrastructure.  The  major  activities  supported  are:  Critical  Animal  Disease  Control  Programme

(CADCP) for eradication and control of two major diseases namely Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) and Classical  Swine  Fever  (CSF);  Establishment  and  Strengthening  of  existing  Veterinary  Hospitals and  Dispensaries  (ESVHD)-Mobile  Veterinary  Units;  and  Assistance  to  States  for  control  of  other economically  important,  exotic,  emergent  and  zoonotic  animal  diseases  under  the  component  of Assistance to States for Control of Animal Diseases (ASCAD). The funding pattern is 100% central assistance  for  the  Critical  Animal  Disease  Control  Programme  (CADCP)  and  the  non-recurring components  of  Establishment  and  Strengthening  of  existing  Veterinary  Hospitals  and  Dispensaries (ESVHD) and 60:40 between Central and State for the other components as well as for Assistance to States  for  Control  of  Animal  Diseases  (ASCAD), with  90:10  for  hilly  and  North-Eastern States  and 100% for UTs. Further,  for  control  of  Foot  and  Mouth  Disease  (FMD)  and  Brucellosis  by  2030the Department is also implementing the National Animal Disease Control Programme (NADCP), which is the largest ever vaccination programme carried out either for human or animal vaccination in the world.

The state-wise fund released under Livestock Health & Disease Control (LH&DC) scheme and NADCP are placed at Annexure-I and Annexure-II respectively.
