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

(a): The Ministry of Food Processing Industries has been implementing Mega Food Park scheme (MFPS), a component scheme of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana (PMSKY) for creating modern infrastructure for the food processing sector along the value chain from farm to market. As the  Ministry  does  not  set  up  such  projects  at  its  own,  it  invites  Proposals  from  interested entities/organizations through Expression of Interest (EoI) floated from time to time, in accordance with scheme guidelines. State wise allocation has not been made under Mega Food Parks Schemes. The  scheme  has  been  discontinued  by  the  Government  w.e.f.  01.04.2021  with  provision  for committed liabilities during 15th Finance Commission Cycle. Since inception of the scheme, two Mega Food Parks have been approved by the Government in the State of Rajasthan. Out of this, one Mega Food Park has been approved during last five years. The details of the projects  approved under Mega Food Park Scheme  in the state of Rajasthan along with their status are at Annexure.

- (b) to (d): No such proposal, as the scheme has been discontinued w.e.f. 01.04.2021.
