## ANSWER

THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE कृ ͪष एवं ͩकसान कãयाण राÏय मंğी (SHRI RAMNATH THAKUR)

O.I.H.

(a) to (g): Government of India is implementing a comprehensive range of schemes and programmes keeping in view of present and future requirements of the agriculture sector as well as interests and socio-economic upliftment of farmers. These schemes and programmes  are  applicable  to  all  States/UTs  including  Jharkhand,  Maharashtra, Rajasthan and UT of  Delhi and encompass entire spectrum of agriculture including credit, insurance, income support, infrastructure, crops including horticulture, seeds, mechanization,  marketing,  organic  and  natural  farming,  farmer  collectives,  irrigation, extension,  procurement  of  crops  from  farmers  at  minimum  support  prices,  digital agriculture etc. In case of Central Sector schemes, the allocation is not State wise, but project or entitlement based.  Since the financial year 2023-24, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare holds discussions on Annual Action Plan  (AAP) for each state. The discussions include a range of issues, including priorities and regional/State requirements. Further, modification of the same is delegated to State Level Sanctioning Committee  (SLSC)  headed  by  the  Chief  Secretary  of  the  State,  to  ensure  speedy approval of funds, as Agriculture is a State subject. Furthermore, the release of funds is dependent upon the pace of utilization of the funds by the concerned States. The details of the beneficiaries are maintained by the State Government.

Similar procedure including just in time release is applied in case of Central Sector schemes in which no State Share is required as per procedure prescribed for central Sector Schemes by Department of Expenditure.

The  Department  regularly  monitors  the  accounts  of  the  budget  it  provides  under different  heads  from  time  to  time  to  ensure    optimal  utilization  of  funds  as  well  as  to achieve intended outcome or benefits or objectives under the scheme and programmes.

List  of  Central  Sector  and  Centrally  Sponsored  Schemes  being  implemented  by Department of Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare (DA&FW) is given in Annexure I . Since, rationalization of schemes 2022-23, the details of funds allocated under schemes being implemented by the DA&FW from 2019-20 to 2021-22 are given in Annexure II and from 2022-23 to 2023-24 in Annexure III.

(h) & (i): Farmers of Delhi are not getting the benefits as the Government of NCT of Delhi  has  not  submitted  the  annual  action  plan  for  availing  the  benefits  of  Centally Sponsored Schemes being implemented by the Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare (DA&FW) for the year 2023-24 and 2024-25.  On 3 rd  January, 2025 DA&FW has requested all the States & UTs including NCT of Delhi for submitting the annual action plan for the year 2025-26 so that the benefits of the schemes could be availed by the farmers.
