## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT (SADHVI NIRANJAN JYOTI)

(a) Yes  Sir.  Under  Deendayal  Antyodaya  Yojana-  National  Rural  Livelihoods  Mission (DAY-NRLM)  farm  livelihood  interventions  are  designed  towards  diversifying  income sources, reducing fluctuation in income and assuring sustainable income along with food and nutritional security at the household level. Farm livelihoods intervention is touching women in  Self  Help  Groups  (SHGs)  through  one  or  more  of  its  programmatic  pillars  viz.  Mahila Kisan  Sashaktikaran  Pariyojana  (MKSP),  Farm  Livelihoods  intervention  under  SRLMAnnual Action Plan, Farm Value Chain Interventions and Promotion of Organic Clusters.

Further, to address issue of nutritional security, Agri Nutri gardens are being established at SHG Households. So far, a total of 75.10 lakh Mahila Kisan households have been covered for  promotion  of  Agri  Nutri  Gardens  across  the  country.  The  Mission  has  adopted  an innovative  model  by  integrating  livestock  rearing  along  with  Agri  Nutri  Garden  to  ensure supply of the required animal protein. Some of these have also been promoted through State level  convergence  with  other  schemes  like  Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment Guarantee Scheme.

Furthermore, Community Based Organizations (Self Help Groups, Village Organisations and Cluster Level Federations etc.) promoted under DAY-NRLM  participate in Poshan Maah/Pakhwada for creating awareness about importance of nutrition and thereby promoting Agri Nutri Gardens as source of 365 days family nutrition. For the Financial Year 2021-22, a target of promoting 24.77 lakh Agri Nutri Gardens has been set for Mahila Kisan households.

(b) Under  DAY-NRLM,  farm  livelihoods  interventions  are  being  implemented  in  614 districts across the country. Agri Nutri Garden is a part of these interventions. In Odisha, all

30  Districts  have  been  covered  under  these  interventions  and  the  programme  is  being implemented through Odisha Livelihoods Mission (OLM). The Mission does not maintain the district wise data. However, the State wise available data is enclosed in Annexure . DAY- NRLM is a demand driven programme. On the basis of the demand from the State,  the  funds  are  being  released  as  per  the  approved  Annual  Action  Plan.  There  is  no separate fund allotted for Agri Nutri garden. Therefore, the question of fund allocation for

- (c) Agri Nutri Garden component does not arise.
