## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRIES (SHRI RAVNEET SINGH)

(a)  to  (c): The Ministry of Food Processing Industries is implementing  the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana (PMKSY) as a Central Sector umbrella scheme to boost food processing sector.  Under the  scheme,  the  Ministry  invites  proposals  from  across  the  country  including Rajasthan  from  eligible  entities/organizations  directly  through  Expression  of  Interest  (EoI) floated from time to time, in accordance with the scheme guidelines. The scheme is demanddriven  and  the  funds  are  not  allocated/sanctioned/released  State-wise  under  any  of  the component schemes of PMKSY. Based on the eligibility criteria and appraisal, projects are approved and financial assistance is provided in the form of grants-in-aid/ subsidy generally ranging from 35% for General category applicants to 50% for SC/ST/NER and Difficult area applicants of eligible project cost as per scheme guidelines.

In Rajasthan, following projects have been approved under various component schemes under PMKSY since its inception:

-  Integrated Cold Chain and Value Addition Infrastructure - 14 projects
-  Creation/Expansion of Food Processing & Preservation Capacities (CEFPPC) - 24 Projects.
-  Food Testing & Quality Assurance Infrastructure - 02 projects.
-  Infrastructure for Agro-Processing Clusters Scheme - 02 projects
-  Research and Development - 04 projects
-  Mega Food Parks - 02 projects.
-  Backward and Forward Linkages - 06 projects.

These projects aim to create modern infrastructure for food processing and value addition in the State. The responsibility of taking loans from banks, execution, ownership and management of the projects supported under PMKSY vests with the Project Implementing Agency (PIA). In case, requests are received from the PIAs, the Ministry takes up the matter with the concerned banks to facilitate resolution of issues faced by PIAs during project implementation.

(d) : Under  PMKSY,  details  of  financial  assistance  provided  to  entrepreneurs  for  the establishment of food processing industries in Rajasthan during each of the last five years are given at Annexure.
