## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE FOR AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE क ृ िष एवं िकसान कʞाण राǛ मंũी (SHRI RAM NATH THAKUR)

(a) to (d):  Agriculture is a state subject, however, Government of India is implementing a comprehensive  range  of  central  sector  as  well  as  centrally  sponsored  schemes  and programmes  for  the  welfare  of  farmers  in  the  country  including  Karnataka.  These schemes 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.  Scheme-wise budget allocation and release being implemented by Department of Agriculture& Farmers Welfare (DA&FW) in State of Karnataka are given in Annexure.

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. Furthermore, the release of funds  is  dependent  upon  the  pace  of  utilization  of  the  funds  by  the  States.  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.

## Annexure

## Scheme wise details of funds allocated and released under major Centrally Sponsored Schemes and Central Sector Schemes implemented by the DA&FW during 2020-21 to 2024-25 in Karnataka

## (A) Centrally Sponsored Schemes
