MINISTER OF  STATE IN THE  MINISTRY OF  AGRICULTURE AND  FARMERS  WELFARE

‡ãðŠãäÓã एवं कसान कयाण ½ãâ¨ããÊã¾ã  ½ãñâ  Àã·¾ã  ½ãâ¨ããè (  SHRI SUDARSHAN BHAGAT)

(a) to (c): Rashtriya  Krishi  Vikas  Yojana  (RKVY)  was  launched  during  2007-08  to provide  Additional  Central  Assistance  to  states  to  incentivize  them  to  increase  their investment in agriculture and allied sectors to achieve 4%  annual growth in this sector during XI plan period. No specific annual growth target has been fixed for agriculture sector under the scheme during the particular financial years 2015-16 and 2016-17. As per  the  Provisional  Estimates  of  Annual  National  Income  2015-16  and  Quarterly Estimate  of  GDP  released  on  31.05.2016,  the  growth  (over  the  previous  year)  in  the Gross Value Added (GVA) of agriculture and allied sector  during  2015-16 is 1.2% at 2011-12 prices. The scheme is being implemented in all states as per the guidelines of the scheme and monitored through web-based Management Information System. The state-wise  allocation  and  release  of  funds  since  inception  of  the  scheme  is  given  at Annexure.

(d) & (e): Yes,  Madam.  Comptroller  and  Auditor  General  of  India  have  reported certain shortcomings in implementation of the scheme in the states during 2007-08 to 2012-13. Government  of India has already revised the scheme  guidelines for implementation from the financial year 2014-15 of the XII Plan to make implementation of the scheme more effective in the states. As per the revised guidelines of the scheme, states  are  required  to  constitute  State  Level  Project  Screening  Committee  (SLPSC) headed by Agriculture Production Commissioner or any other officer nominated by Chief Secretary for screening RKVY project proposals prepared by various departments of the state  for  its  suitability,  its  linkage  to  District  Agriculture  Plans  (DAPs)  and  State Agriculture Plan (SAP) and its adherence to the RKVY guidelines before the projects are placed before the State Level Sanctioning Committee (SLSC) headed by the Chief Secretary of the concerned states for approval.
