## ANSWER

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

(a) to (d): Agriculture  is  a  state  subject.  Government  of  India  supports  State Governments through a range of central sector and centrally sponsored schemes. 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 and digital agriculture. List  of  schemes  implemented  by  Department  of  Agriculture  and  Farmers  Welfare (DA&FW) is given at Annexure-I.

Information on the number of farmers in Delhi who have been affected by the non-implementation of the schemes in NCT of Delhi is not centrally maintained.

Under  Central  Sector  Schemes,  21  installments  of  Pradhan  Mantri  Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM - KISAN) have been disbursed till now. Total ₹53.79 crore have been disbursed to farmers in Delhi. Of this, ₹2.11 crore have been disbursed to 10,547 beneficiaries  under  21 th   Installment  of  Pradhan  Mantri  Kisan  Samman  Nidhi  (PM  KISAN).

370 farmers from Delhi have been enrolled under Pradhan Mantri Kisan Maan Dhan Yojana (PM - KMY) since its inception.

Under Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF), as on 25.11.2025, ₹ 23 crore has been sanctioned for 16 projects in Delhi. The total project cost for these sanctioned projects is ₹41 crore.

Under Centrally Sponsored Schemes from 2014-15 to 2024-25, ₹96.27 crore were allocated under all components of Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY). Under all components of Krishionnati Yojana (KY), allocation was ₹20.49 crore. In FY 202526 action plans of ₹5.77 crore and ₹1.10 crore have been approved by Government of India for implementation of projects under PM-RKVY and KY respectively based on the proposal received from Government of Delhi.

The  Government  fixes  Minimum  Support  Prices  (MSPs)  for 22 mandated agricultural  crops  for  the  country as  a whole  including  Delhi,  based  on  the recommendations of Commission for Agricultural Costs & Prices. Procurement at MSP is  yet  to  be  initiated  in  Delhi.  Pradhan  Mantri  Fasal  Bima  Yojana  (PMFBY)  and weather  index  based  Restructured  Weather  Based  Crop  Insurance  Scheme (RWBCIS) provide financial support to farmers at the time of losses due to natural calamities. This scheme is voluntary for State/UTs and farmers as well. The UT of Delhi is not implementing the scheme.
