## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE

कृ षि एवं ककसान कल्याण मंत्राऱय में राज्य मंत्री (SHRI  MOHANBHAI  KUNDARIA)

- (a): As per Land  Use  Statistics 2012-13  (latest available), State/UT-wise details of agricultural land,  including the net sown area dependent on monsoon/rainfall in the country are given in annexure I.
- (b): The  names  of  the  districts  in  various  States/UTs  of  the  country  which  experienced deficient/scanty rainfall during monsoon 2015 are given in annexure II a & b.
- (c): As  per  Census  2011  (latest  available),  State/UT-wise  details  of  farmers  engaged  in agriculture are given in annexure III .
- (d): Despite  shift  of  area  to  non  agricultural  uses,  there  is  no  significant  decline  in  the agricultural  land  in  the  country.  As  such,  there  is  no  evidence  to  show  conversion  of  a agricultural  land  into  barren  land.  However,  the  agricultural production  in  the country being

O.I.H

largely  dependent  on  monsoon  rainfall,  there  has  been  decline  in  the  foodgrains  production during  2014-15  and  2015-16  on  account  of  deficient  rainfall  in  various  parts  of  the  country. State-wise details of production of foodgrains during 2014-15 and 2015-16 vis-à-vis 2013-14 are given in annexure IV .

(e): Government has taken several measures to reduce the dependency of agriculture on monsoon and promote dry land farming in the country.

All states including Karnataka have been advised to ensure availability of seeds of low water  consumption  crops  and  ensure  meeting  any  contingency  cropping  requirement  in  the eventuality of deficient rainfall. Under National Food Security Mission (NFSM), National Mission on Oilseeds and Oil Palm (NMOOP) and Bringing Green Revolution to Eastern India (BGREI) schemes, the States may make changes within guidelines in approved action plan to meet the contingency arising out of deficient rains. 10% of funds available under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) have also been kept aside for undertaking appropriate interventions to mitigate drought  like  situation,  if  any,  arising  out  of  deficient  rainfall.  Appropriate  drought  mitigation measures  viz., construction  of  water  harvesting  structure  under  MGNREGA;  promoting agronomic practices for moisture conservation; promoting cultivation of less water consuming crops; restoration of irrigation infrastructure by de-silting canals; energizing tubewells, replacing/repairing  faulty  pumps  etc.  are  taken  by  States  to  deal  with  any  potential  drought situation. Further, NMSA as a programmatic intervention made operational from the year 201415  aims  at  making  agriculture  more  productive,  sustainable,  and  remunerative  and  climate resilient by promoting location specific integrated farming systems; soil and moisture conservation measures; comprehensive soil health management; efficient water management practices  and  mainstreaming  rainfed  technologies.  Climate  resilient  interventions  have  been embedded  and  mainstreamed  into  Missions/  Programmes/  Schemes  of  Dept.  of  Agriculture, Cooperation & Farmers Welfare (DAC&FW) through a process of restructuring and convergence. Also, Micro Irrigation component of On Farm Water Management (OFWM) has been  subsumed  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Krishi  Sinchayee  Yojana  (PMKSY).    The  focus  of OFWM is primarily on enhancing water use efficiency by promoting appropriate technological interventions like drip &  sprinkler irrigation technologies, efficient water  application  and distribution system, secondary storage and drainage development.
