## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE

कृ ͪष एवं ͩकसान कã  याण राÏय मंğी (SHRI RAMNATH THAKUR)

(a): The  Government  of  India  approved  the  continuation  of  the  integrated  Pradhan Mantri  Annadata  Aay  Sanrakshan  Abhiyan  (PM-AASHA)  during  the  15th  Finance Commission Cycle upto 2025-26. It administers the integrated Scheme of Pradhan Mantri Annadata  Aay  Sanrakshan  Abhiyan  (PM-AASHA)  comprising  Price  Support  Scheme (PSS), Price Deficiency Payment Scheme (PDPS), Market Intervention Scheme (MIS) and  Price  Stabilisation  Funds  (PSF).  The  integrated  scheme  of  PM-AASHA  aimed  to bring-in more effectiveness in the implementation of procurement operations that would not only help in providing remunerative prices to the farmers for their produce but also control  the  price  volatility  of  essential  commodities  by  ensuring  their  availability  at affordable prices to  consumers. The Department of Agriculture & Farmers' Welfare of Ministry  of  Agriculture  &  Farmers'  Welfare  administers  PSS,  PDPS  and  MIS  whereas Department  of  Consumer  Affairs  of  Ministry  of  Consumer  Affairs,  Food  and  Public Distribution administers PSF Scheme. The brief about the Schemes are as follows:

i.  Price Support Scheme (PSS): PSS is implemented for the procurement of notified pulses, oilseeds and copra of Fair Average Quality (FAQ) at MSP directly from the farmers by Central Nodal Agencies (CNAs) like NAFED and NCCF or through the State level agencies as and when the market price of these commodities fall below the notified MSP during the peak harvesting season to provide remunerative price to the farmers.

ii. Price Deficit Payment Scheme (PDPS): PDPS envisages the payment of the price difference between the MSP and the selling / modal price to pre-registered farmers selling oilseeds of prescribed FAQ norms within the stipulated period in the notified market yard through  a  transparent  auction  process.  However,  the  States/UTs  have  an  option  to implement  of  either  PSS  or  PDPS  for  the  particular  oilseeds  for  the  particular year/season. This scheme does not involve any physical procurement of crops as the farmers are compensated the difference between the MSP and Sale / Modal price on sale in notified market.

iii. Market Intervention Scheme (MIS): MIS is implemented on the request of State/UT Government for the procurement of various perishable agricultural /horticultural commodities such as Tomato, Onion and Potato etc. for which Minimum Support Price (MSP) is not applicable and there is a reduction of prices in the market by atleast 10% over the rates of previous normal season in the States/UTs so that the farmers are not constrained to make distress sales of their produce.

iv.  Price  Stabilization  Funds  (PSF): PSF  is  implemented  by  the  Department  of Consumer Affairs, Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution for not only to mitigate  the  hardships  to  consumers  on  account  extreme  volatility  in  prices  of  agrihorticultural  commodities  but  also  to  make  essential  food  commodities  available  at affordable price as well as to protect the farmers from the distress sale of their produce.

The procurement operations under PSS during the last three years, crop-wise and State/UT-wise is at Annexure-I. PDPS Scheme was not implemented by any of the States during the last three years.

(b) to (d): The central nodal agencies, some State Government and some state level agencies have developed online portal for procurement of various crops. The farmers are registering  themselves  on  the  Portals  of  NAFED,  NCCF  and  State's  Portal  through Aadhar Based registration for selling their produce at government procurement centres. The Procurement portals also provide farmers the latest/updated information regarding MSP  declared,  nearest  purchase  center,  date/period  of  procurement,  allotment  of slots/time  to  farmers  against  their  booking  for  sale  of  produce  etc.  These  enable  the farmer to deliver stock as per his convenience in the nearest procurement centre. The land /crop records of the farmers are verified from the State land records online for those farmers who have registered for selling their produce. SMS and Whatsapp messages are sent to the farmers to make them aware about the procurement to be undertaken by various agencies of the Government. Agmarknet Portal is in place for daily purchase rates of commodities to make the farmers aware about the current market selling price of the produce.

As  per  the  PSS  Guidelines-2024  under  PM-AASHA,  chapter  II  (B)  (vii),  the State/UT Governments ensures adequate liquidity to the State procuring agency so as to pay the dues of farmers for their produce within 3 days from the receipt of their produce. The State Government creates revolving fund atleast equivalent to 15% of MSP value and incidental expenses  for each commodity as per 25%  of estimated production/ procurement quantity sanctioned by the Government.

Further, the central Nodal Agencies like  NAFED  and  NCCF  undertaking procurement  through  the  state  level  agencies  ensure  the  release  of  DBT  payment  to farmers directly in their Aadhar linked bank accounts as given at the time of registration. Since the payment of MSP is being transferred into the farmer's bank account through RTGS or NEFT, the bank account of  an individual farmer cannot  be utilised  to  make payments of other farmers.

As per the PSS Guidelines-2024 under PM-AASHA, the State/UT Governments shall  make  adequate  publicity  of  PSS  operations  like  MSP  for  the  crops,  name  and address  of  procurement  centers,  procurement  period,  documents  required,  contact details  of  authorized  person  of  central/state/primary  procuring  agencies.  The  costs  of publicity related activities shall be borne by respective State/UT Government.

Besides, the central nodal agencies in association with the state level agencies conduct Information, Education and Communication (IEC) programmes for the awareness of farmers. Further, awareness of Pradhan Mantri Annadata Aay Sanrakshan Abhiyan

(PM-AASHA) was boosted through regular sharing of tweets, creatives and infographics on DA&FW's official social Media platforms.

(e) & (f): In  order  to  incentivize  the  farmers  for  the  enhancement  of  domestic production  of  pulses  and  to  reduce  the  dependence  on  imports,  the  Government  has allowed the procurement of Tur, Urad and Masur under PSS equivalent to 100% of the production of the State for the procurement year 2024-25. The cultivation data in respect of pulses and oilseeds are at Annexure-II.

(g): As  per  the  PSS  Guidelines,  2024, the  State  has  to  provide  all  the  necessary support like gunny bags, weighing machines, moisture/foreign matters/oil content testing machine  etc.  to  the  Central  Nodal  Agencies  and  the  State  level  agencies  before  the commencement of procurement. In order to widen outreach of procurement operations carried out by the central nodal agencies for the notified Pulses and Oilseeds & Copra at MSP  under  PM-AASHA,  there  are  provisions  for  the  engagement  of  Co-operative societies/Self Help Groups/Panchayats/ by the State procuring agencies so that maximum farmers, can avail the benefit of Price support operations. The State Government sets up a sufficient numbers of procurement centres depending on the registration of farmers on the procurement portal and the anticipated arrival of the produce in the particular season.

(h) & (i): The  integrated  Scheme  of  PM-AASHA  is  implemented  in  all  the  States across the country. The Government's intervention through procurement operations under various schemes drives the market upward of various notified crops under MSP.
