## ANSWER

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

(a) to (c): For development of the Food Processing sector in the country including Tamil Nadu, the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) is implementing the Pradhan Mantri Kisan SAMPADA Yojana (PMKSY), as a Central Sector scheme. Under PMKSY financial assistance is provided to entrepreneurs for setting up food processing industries with efficient supply chain management from farm gate to retail outlet thereby giving a big boost to the growth of food processing sector in the country with total outlay of Rs. 5520 Crore for 15 th Finance  Commission  Cycle.  PMKSY  is  demand  driven  in  nature  and  applications  from interested entrepreneurs are invited through Expression of Interest (EoI) from all over India including Tamil Nadu. Funds are not allocated/sanctioned/released state-wise under any of the component schemes of PMKSY.

As on 28.02.2025 under different component schemes of PMKSY, 145 projects have been approved in the State of Tamil Nadu with the project cost of ₹ 1922.75 crore and approved grants in aid/subsidy of ₹497.69 crore. So far, ₹313.3 crore has been released to these 145 projects.  The  details  of  number  of  projects  approved  and  completed  in  Tamil  Nadu  under PMKSY during the last three financial years and current year are at Annexure-1 and the details of number of food processing units, cold storage facilities and other related infrastructure under PMKSY are at Annexure-2 .

(d) and (e): Under the PMKSY scheme project proposals are invited from time to time across the  country  including  remote  or  underdeveloped  areas  by  floating  Expression  of  Interests (EoIs) on the Ministry's website. The proposals received are scrutinized for their eligibility and evaluated based on the criteria fixed as per the extant scheme guidelines. Merit based approvals are given to the eligible proposals based on availability of funds. Wider publicity is given to the component schemes under PMKSY by circulation through Press Information Bureau (PIB) and  publishing  in  leading  national  and  regional  newspapers.  Individuals  including  small farmers are eligible to avail benefits under the scheme.

Government monitors and evaluates the progress of sanctioned projects under PMKSY by conducting regular review meetings and site visits to ensure that the physical progress of the  projects  is  in  consonance  with  the  financial  progress  of  the  project.  Government  also constitutes panel of experts /consultants for undertaking inspection of projects sanctioned under the schemes as and when required.
