## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE क ृ िष और िकसान कʞाण राǛ मंũी (SHRI BHAGIRATH CHOUDHARY)

(a) to (c) : Land and agriculture are State subjects. As per Entry No. 18 of List II (State List) of the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India, land falls under the jurisdiction of State Governments, which are responsible for taking appropriate measures to increase the area under cultivation and ensure optimal use of agricultural lands. However, the Government of India supports these efforts through policy initiatives and budgetary assistance.

As  per  the  latest  annual  publication  'Land  Use  Statistics-at  a  Glance  2023-24'  of  the Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, the extent of agricultural land in the country has remained relatively stable. The Gross Cropped Area has expanded significantly, rising from 198.28 million  hectares  in  2014-15  to  217.8  million  hectares  in  2023-24  and  the  Net  Area  Sown  has remained relatively stable, standing at 138.99 million hectares in 2023-24. The adoption of modern technologies and effective policy interventions has also led to a continuous improvement in cropping intensity, which has risen from 142.2% in 2014-15 to 156.8% in 2023-24, reflecting a positive shift toward multiple cropping practices, highlighting farmers' enhanced ability to cultivate the same land more than once annually. The year-wise and State/UT-wise details of Agriculture Land ( including net  sown  area ) and  Gross Cropped  Area  are given  at Annexure-I .  Additionally,  the  food  grain production has risen significantly, from 252.02 million tonnes in 2014-15 to 357.73 million tonnes in 2024-25. Horticulture production has also increased from 280.98 million tonnes in 2014-15 to 369.05 million tonnes in 2024-25 (third advanced estimates). The year-wise and State/UT-wise details of food grain production is given at Annexure-II .

(d) & (e): There is record production of foograins and horticulture crops reported, which shows there is no lack of interest in agriculture sector.  Agriculture being a State Subject, the State Government take appropriate measures for development of agriculture and welfare of farmers in the States. The Government  of  India  supplements  the  efforts  of  States  through  appropriate  policy  measures, reforms,  developmental  programs,  budgetary  support,  price  support  through  MSP  and  various schemes/ programmes from time to time. The Department of Agriculture  & Farmers Welfare  is implementing  several  Central  Sector  and  Centrally  Sponsored  Schemes  with  the  objective  of increasing food grains production through area expansion and productivity enhancement, as given in Annexure-III .

To  ensure  productive  use  of  land,  the  Ministry  of  Agriculture  &  Farmers  Welfare  has implemented several initiatives to promote crop diversification, increase cropping intensity and enhance farmers income in all States & UTs. Under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) and the Crop Diversification Programme, States/UTs are supported to adopt region-specific highvalue  crops,  pulses,  oilseeds,  and  horticultural  crops,  thereby  reducing  reliance  on  monocropping  systems.  Schemes  such  as  Soil  Health  &  Fertility  (SH&F),  Mission  for  Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH), National Mission on Edible Oils (NMEO)-Oil Palm, National Mission on Edible Oils (NMEO)-Oilseeds, Mission for Atmanirbharta in Pulses, Paramparagat Krishi  Vikas  Yojana  (PKVY)  for  organic  and  sustainable  farming,  Rainfed  Area  Development (RAD) to further encourage farmers to adopt climate-resilient, high-value and diversified crops.

The  expansion  of  irrigation  facilities  under  PMKSY  and  the  promotion  of  micro-irrigation under Per Drop More Crop help optimize water availability during lean periods, supporting efficient cropping patterns and judicious use of water resources. Additionally, the Government facilitates the use  of  climate-resilient  seed  varieties,  soil  moisture  conservation  practices,  and  timely  agroadvisories through Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) and digital platforms such as m-Kisan, enabling farmers to make informed decisions regarding crop selection and land use.
