## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE

क ृ षि एवं षकसान कल्याण मंत्री (SHRI NARENDRA SINGH TOMAR)

- (a):  Government fixes Minimum Support Prices (MSP) for 22 mandated agricultural crops and Fair and Remunerative Price (FRP) for sugarcane on the basis of the recommendations

of the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Prices (CACP), after considering the views of State  Governments  and  Central  Ministries/Departments  concerned  and  other  relevant factors. MSP is announced for the country as a whole and is not region or State-specific, although parameters specific to States are considered by the CACP while recommending MSP.

(b)  to  (d):  PM  Kisan  Samman Nidhi Yojana (PM-KISAN) scheme aims to supplement the financial  needs  of  all  landholding  farmers'  families  in  procuring  various  inputs  to  ensure proper crop health and appropriate yields, commensurate with the anticipated farm income as  well  as  for  domestic  needs.  It  provides  an  income  support  of  Rs.  6000  per  year  in  3 equal installments to all farmer families who own cultivable landholding irrespective of the size  of  the  landholding,  subject  to  certain  exclusion  criteria.  Ownership  of  a  cultivable landholding  remains  the  basic  criteria  to  avail  the  benefit  under  the  Scheme.  Besides, Agriculture  Price  Policy  of  Government  also  supports  the  farmers  through  MSP,  which  is declared  annually  for  Kharif  and  Rabi  Season  and  has  in-built  mechanism  to  protect  the farmers from adverse inflationary impact.

(e):  Details of total funds transferred to farmers and the number of its beneficiaries, yearwise and State-wise are given at Annexure .
