## ANSWER

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

(a)  &  (b):  Yes  Sir;  The  basic  objective  of  National  Mission  on  Food  Processing  (NMFP) (launched in 2012) aimed at decentralization of implementation of Ministry's schemes, leading to substantial participation of State/ UT Governments. The State/UT Governments were given flexibility  in  implementing the schemes included in the NMFP based on the needs of local area.The NMFP contemplated establishment of a National Mission as well as corresponding Missions at the State/UT level and District level.

However,  the  Government  of  India  delinked  the  NMFP  from  Central  Government support from the financial year 2015-16. State Governments had to decide to continue (or not) NMFP Scheme out of their increased resources resulting from the recommendations of 14th Finance Commission.

- (c): The Quantum of funds allocated, State-wise particularly in Tamil Nadu is at Annexure.
