Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) launched in 2007-08, intends to

incentivize States to enhance public investment to achieve and sustain desired
annual growth in this sector. RKVY requires the States to prepare District and State
Agriculture Plans for creation of infrastructure essential to achieve higher
production. Under RKVY, States have been provided flexibility and autonomy in
selection, planning, approval and execution of schemes as per their priorities and
agro-climatic requirements. Projects under the scheme are approved by the State
Level Sanctioning Committees (SLSCs) under the Chairmanship of Chief Secretary
of the respective States.
Funds are routed through the State Agriculture
Department, which is the nodal Department for implementation of the scheme in
the State. RKVY has also enabled the States for taking up national priorities with
focused objectives by implementing following seven sub schemes during the
financial year 2014-15:
o
o
o
o
o
o
o
Bringing Green Revolution to Eastern India

Vegetable Initiative for Urban Clusters
National Mission for Protein Supplements
Additional Fodder Development Programme
Saffron Mission
Vidarbha Intensive Irrigation Development Programme.
Crop Diversification in Original Green Revolution States.
RKVY has emerged as the principal instrument in financing development of

agriculture and allied sectors in the country.
Its convergence with other
Government of India schemes like MGNREGS has helped bolster development of the
agrarian economy. Projects under RKVY have mainly been taken up from the
District & State Agriculture Plans which has resulted in increased synergy between
agricultural planning and implementation of schemes, which has played a crucial
role in promoting the holistic development of the agriculture and allied sector.

RKVY continues in the XII Plan with some modifications made on the basis of
the experience gained during its implementation in the XI Plan and suggestions of
the States. From the financial year 2014-15 onwards RKVY funding is provided to
the States through three streams viz. Production Growth, Infrastructure & Assets
and Sub Schemes. 20% of annual outlay is for sub-schemes, 10% as flexi fund
which can be utilized by the states either for Production Growth or for
Infrastructure & Assets development projects depending upon State specific
needs/priorities. The minimum allocation of funds to production growth stream has
been waved off. Thus, the States are able to allocate their entire RKVY Normal
allocation to Infrastructure & Assets stream.

1. Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana
Based on feedback received from the States and other Stakeholders,
experiences gained in implementation during XI Plan, RKVY has been restructured
for implementation during XII Five year plan. Restructured RKVY framework will
bolster infrastructure development in Agriculture sector. While the responsibility of
formulation, sanction and implementation of the projects shall continue to rest
primarily with the State Governments, special schemes may be launched under
RKVY as national priorities as strategic interventions by Government of India.
From the financial year 2014-15 onwards RKVY funding is being provided to
states through three Streams viz, Production Growth, Infrastructure & Assets and
Sub-schemes of which 20% is for sub-schemes. 10% of RKVY fund is provisioned
as flexi fund from which States can undertake either production growth or
infrastructure & assets projects depending upon State specific needs/priorities. The
minimum allocation of funds to production growth stream has been waved off.
Thus, the States are able to allocate their entire RKVY Normal allocation to
Infrastructure & Assets Stream.

designated as authorized testing centers in addition to FMTTI, Hisar.
3.
Mission on Integrated Development of Horticulture
New interventions have been included in the National Bamboo Mission such
as establishment of Hi-Tech Nurseries, Rehabilitation of Tissue Culture units,
Creation of Water Resources, besides revision of cost norms for area expansion,
technology transfer and HRD, organizing workshops/ seminars, establishment of
marketing infrastructure etc., to provide better incentives to farmers and artisans
for adopting improved technology.
Launching of CHAMAN Project

Success of Horticulture sector is dependent on availability of accurate and
timely information relating to land, weather, production, market arrival, price etc.
This has been a challenging task. With a view to address this challenge, a project
on Coordinated Programme on Horticulture Assessment and Management using
geo-informatics (CHAMAN) has been commissioned during 2014-15 through the
Mahalnobis National Crop Forecast Centre (MNCFC), New Delhi and IASRI, New
49
49
Delhi. The focus of the project will be on using remote sensing technology to
generate data on area, production and productivity of important horticulture crops.
4.

From 2014-15, Government of India has approved Cotton programme under
National Food Security Mission (NFSM)-Commercial Crops (CC). Under NFSM, the
focus has been given on cropping system approach in cotton where cotton is grown
under mono cropping,
mixed cropping, relay cropping, intercropping in the
country. The cropping system approach has focus on the interventions on useful
transfer of technology viz., frontline demonstration (FLD) on intercropping Deshi /
Extra Long Staple Cotton, Trials on High Density Planting System (HDPS), besides,
Insecticide Resistance Management (IRM), On Line Pest Monitoring and Advisory
Services (OPMAS), through ICAR/SAUs etc., during 2015-16, the following
interventions are to be proposed under NFSM-Cotton Based Cropping System.

Government has approved a re-structured Central Sector crop insurance

scheme namely, National Crop Insurance Programme (NCIP) by merging MNAIS,
WBCIS & CPIS and rolling back NAIS with effect from Rabi 2013-14. However, on
the representation of some States NAIS was allowed in few States during Rabi
2013-14. Again NAIS has been allowed at the option of States for the year 201415.
National Crop Income Insurance Scheme
With a view to better serve the interest of farmers, Government is desirous
to develop a new Crop Insurance Scheme to protect them against both yield and
price fluctuations. The consultation with various stakeholders including State
Governments and Farmers organizations are going on for the purpose. Based on
the views / suggestions of the States/UTs and other stakeholders, a suitable
decision would be taken by the Government for implementation of a new crop
income insurance scheme namely National Crop Income Insurance Scheme (NCIIS)
during 2015-16 on pilot basis in selected districts/States.
6.
Integrated Scheme on Agricultural Marketing (ISAM)

In pursuance of Budget announcement in July, 2014,
Agriculture and Cooperation has formulated two new schemes
Scheme for Promotion of National Agricultural Market
Infrastructure Fund (ATIF) and (ii) Central Sector Scheme for
50
50
the Department of
(i) Central Sector
through AgriTech Creation of a Price
Stabilization Fund (PSF) for Procurement and Distribution of Perishable Agricultural

and Horticultural Commodities. ATIF has been approved and is to be implemented
during 2014-15 to 2016-17. PSF has been approved with an allocation of Rs. 500
Cr. and is to be implemented during 2014-15 to 2016-17.
Another important aspect of Agri marketing being pursued by this Department
is reform of the Agri marketing Sector. In fact agri-marketing is a State subject and
this Department has been pursuing the States to adopt market reforms measures
which will promote alternative competitive channels of marketing and increased
private funding of marketing infrastructure to benefit the farmers. As a result of this
advocacy, 16 states have so far carried out marketing reforms to provide alternate
channels of marketing such as setting up of private markets, contract farming and
direct marketing. This financial year in 2014-15, to control the inflationary trends
of fruits and vegetables the Department issued advisories to deregulate fruits and
vegetables outside the APMC yards. Further, the Small Farmers Agribusiness
Consortium (SFAC) has established the first Kisan Mandi in Delhi to provide
another platform for sale to growers associations/FPOs to enable them to take
advantage of the huge demand for fruits and vegetables in Delhi. Likewise the
funds from the ATIF Scheme will be used to implement e marketing platform across
states to implement the reform agenda.
7. Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana

Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana will provide end-to end solutions in
irrigation supply chain, viz. water sources, and distribution network and farm level
applications. This programme will focus on
a) Ensuring access to water to every agriculture farm ( Har Khet Ko Pani );
b) Increasing agricultural production and productivity by increasing availability
and efficient use of water.
c) Providing flexibility and autonomy to States in the progress of planning and
d) Ensuring a holistic approach by way of preparation of comprehensive District
and State Irrigation Plans.
District Irrigation Plans (DIPs) shall be the cornerstone for planning and
implementation of PMSKY. DIPs will identify the gaps in irrigation infrastructure vis-vis infrastructure currently available and resources that would be added during
XII Plan from other ongoing schemes (both State and Central) like Mahatma
Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), Backward
Regions Grant Fund (BGRF), Rashtriya krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY), Integrated
Watershed Management Programme (IWMP), Accelerated Irrigation Benefit
Programme (AIBP), National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA) etc.
51
51
PMKSY will adopt a dynamic annual fund allocation methodology that will
mandate States to allocate more funds to irrigation sector for becoming eligible to
access PMKSY funds. Inter State allocation of PMKSY funds will be decided based on
(i) share of percentage of unirrigated area in the State vis--vis National average
and (ii) increase in percentage share of expenditure on Irrigation and related
activities in State Plan expenditure in the previous year over the three years prior
to it.

National Rainfed Area Authority has been established with the objective to
prepare a perspective plan and road map for holistic and sustainable development
of rainfed farming areas and evolve common guidelines for all government
schemes. Identify rainfed areas and prepare watershed dev. programmes for
integrated natural resource management. It has also mandated to identify gaps in
input supply, credit availability, dissemination of appropriate technology for
development of rainfed areas.
8. National Mission on Sustainable Agriculture

This Ministry is promoting Organic Farming as a sub-component under
National Mission on Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA). In order to promote
participatory certification of Organic Farming in a cluster approach, so as to bring
down its costs, some components, namely (a) adoption of organic farming
through cluster approach under PGS (PGS certification), (b) support to PGS
system for online data management and residue analysis, (c) training and
demonstration on organic farming, (d) organic village adoption for manure
management and biological nitrogen harvesting, have been clubbed together as a
cluster based programme and named Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana.
It is intend to enhance the area under organic farming to 5.0 lakh hectares
within a period of 3 years. It is targeted to cover 10000 clusters of farmers (
about 50 farmers in each cluster ) in three years with an expenditure of Rs 1495
crore. 3300 clusters shall be covered in the first year with an expenditure of Rs
500 crore.

A National Gender Resource Centre in Agriculture (NGRCA) set up in the

Department is committed to bring gender concerns to the centre stage and act
as a focal point for convergence of all gender related activities & issues in
agriculture & allied sectors; add gender dimension to agriculture policies &
programmes and render advisory/ advocacy services to the States/ UTs to help
them ensure that their policies and programmes in agriculture are fully
engendered.
3.
To ensure that budgetary commitments of various schemes of DAC take into

account the needs and requirements of Women in Agriculture and a
proportionate flow of the public expenditure is made for women farmers, a
Gender Budgeting Cell (GBC) has also been set up in the NGRCA, Directorate of
Extension, Pusa.
A. Current Initiatives by NGRCA and GBC

Gender Sensitization Modules (GSM) developed for sensitization of extension
functionaries is being condensed to half a day module so as to ensure its
delivery through all ongoing programmes being organized at various Training
Institutes. MANAGE has been entrusted with the task of developing the Capsule
Module on Gender Learning focusing on the practical tips of Gender Budgeting
and Accounting and duly roping in the recommendations and the outcome of
several Action Research Studies undertaken by NGRCA as well as policy
decisions of Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Women and Child Development and
Ministry of Agriculture.
Dissemination of information on Gender Friendly Tools (GFT)/ equipments used
in crop production, crop processing, post harvest management and other allied
sectors and developed by various institutes is under way through a
compendium carrying information on 69 tools/equipments
For ensuring food and nutritional security at the household level, Farm womens
Food Security Groups (FSGs) @ 2/Block are being supported under ATMA
initiative of SMAE. Besides providing support for small tools, seeds, planting
material etc. for setting up backyard food security garden, these FSGs are
53
53
being provided support for training, publication and access to inputs as well.
This support is to the tune of @ Rs. 10,000 per group. These FSGs are to serve
as Model Food Security Hubs through establishing kitchen garden, backyard
poultry, goatry, animal husbandry & dairying, mushroom cultivation, etc. A
total of 36700 groups are to be supported over the Plan period.
As a part of its networking strategies, the NGRCA is committed to initiating
appropriate action on the (i) National Plan of Action on the National Policy for

Up to 2013-14, funds were released to
States under two Streams. Stream-I is
project based for which at least 75% of
allocation is earmarked and Stream-II is
earmarked for strengthening existing state
sector schemes and to fill resource gaps in
district/State Agriculture Plan. Guidelines
has been revised from 2014-15, under
revised guidelines funding will be
provided to states through three Streams
viz, Production Growth, Infrastructure &
Assets and Sub-schemes of which 20% is
for sub-scheme. 10% fund is provisioned as
flexi fund from which States can undertake
either production growth or infrastructure
& assets projects depending upon State
specific needs/priorities.
The
States generally select projects for natural
resources management , construction of
farm ponds, strengthening of seed farms,
soil health, horticulture, crop production,
extension, mechanisation, post harvest
management, information technology,
agriculture research, animal husbandry,
fisheries etc. Since states have flexibilities
and freedom to choose any project as per
their felt needs and priorities , it is not
possible to fix deliveriable in the form of
physical outputs. At Govt. of India level,
only Quantifiable target is financial release

Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers Rights Authority
In order to fulfill the obligation under Article 27.3(b) of Trade Related Aspects of
Intellectual property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement of the World Trade Organization (WTO)
to which India has ratified, the Legislation for Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers
Rights (PPV & FR) was enacted in 2001. The
Legislation provides for the
establishment of an effective system for protection of plant varieties, the rights of
farmers and plant breeders and to encourage the development of new varieties of
plants. For implementation of the provisions of the Act, an Authority namely Protection
of Plant Varieties and Farmers Rights Authority was established in November, 2005.
The Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers Rights (PPV & FR) Act passed by the
Parliament in 2001 has been operationalized on 11.11.2005. The Authority is a
statutory organization having autonomous character. The Central Sector Scheme for
the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers Rights (PPV & FR) provides necessary
back up support for implementation of the legislation i.e., PPV & FR Act, 2001. The
functions of the Authority include registration of plant varieties to protect plant
breeders rights, which would stimulate investment for research & development for the
development of new plant varieties leading to Agricultural development in the country
and to protect rights of the farmers in respect of their contribution made at any time in
conserving., improving and making available plant genetic resources. The Accounts of
the Authority are audited by CA&G of India every year and Audited Accounts and
Annual Reports are laid on the table of both Houses of Parliament.
