THE MINISTER OF STATE FOR AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE
कृ(cid:874)ष एव ं (cid:873)कसान क(cid:227)याण रा(cid:207)य म(cid:287)ं ी (SHRI RAMNATH THAKUR)
(a) & (b): The details of funds allocated and released to States, including Punjab,
under various farmer-welfare schemes of Department of Agriculture and Farmers
Welfare (DA&FW) including PM-Kisan, PMFBY during the last three years is given
at Annexure I.
Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana (PMKSY) is an umbrella scheme,
consisting of three components. Two components i.e. Accelerated Irrigation Benefits
Programme (AIBP), and Har Khet Ko Pani (HKKP) are being implemented by
Department of Water Resources(DoWR) and the third component i.e. Watershed
Development is being implemented by Department of Land Resources (DoLR)
Under Accelerated Irrigation Benefits Programme (AIBP) and Har Khet Ko Pani
(HKKP) components, central assistance released to State of Punjab during last three
years are given in Annexure II. Under Watershed Development Component, an
amount of Rs. 5505.72 crore of Central share has been released to them from 2021-
22 to 2025-26 (as on 30.11.2025). State-wise details of Central funds released, water
harvesting structures created/ rejuvenated, area brought under protective irrigation
and farmers benefitted under WDC-PMKSY2.0 is given at Annexure III.Information on the number of farmers who have benefited from the Centrally
Sponsored schemes is not centrally maintained. The number of farmers benefitted
under PM KISAN and PMFBY are given at Annexure IV and Annexure V
respectively.
(c) & (d): As per Operational Guidelines of the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana
(PMFBY), majority of the claims are settled within the stipulated timelines i.e within 21
days of the receipt of requisite yield data from the concerned State Government, by
the insurance companies. However, during the implementation of PMFBY, some
complaints were received in the past about payment of claims which are primarily on
account of (a) delay in providing State Government share of subsidy (b) non-
payment/delayed payment or under payment of claims on account of incorrect/delayed
submission of insurance proposals by banks (c) discrepancy in yield data &
consequent disputes between State Government and insurance companies etc. The
pending claims on account of these issue are settled after their resolution as per
provisions of the scheme.
Procurement centers are opened by respective State Government agencies in
consultation with FCI before onset of procurement season, keeping in view the
production estimates, procurement potential, and marketable surplus, convenience of
farmers and availability of other logistics/infrastructure such as storage and
transportation etc. and geographical spread of the State concerned.
The Government of India has undertaken several initiatives aimed at enhancing
agricultural productivity. The details of select major schemes pertaining to
enhancement in agricultural productivity is given as under:
1. The National Food Security and Nutrition Mission (NFSNM) is implemented
with an objective to increase production of food grains through area
expansion and productivity enhancement. Under this Scheme, incentives are
provided to the farmers, through the States/UTs, on crop production and
protection technologies, cropping system- based demonstrations, distribution
of certified seeds of newly released varieties/hybrids, integrated nutrient and
pest management techniques, improved farm implements/tools/resource
conservation machineries, water saving devices, capacity building of farmers
through trainings during cropping season, etc.2. The Ministry advises the States and seed producing agencies to place the
breeder seeds indents of newly released High Yielding Varieties (HYVs),
stress-tolerant varieties (drought, flood and salinity) including stress tolerant/
climate- resilient /smart varieties (to tackle the challenges of climate changes
in a more effective way) of different crops developed by ICAR Institutes /State
Agricultural Universities (SAUs) etc. for further multiplication into foundation
and certified seeds, so as to make available to the farmers, the required
seeds of these crops varieties to enhance farm production, productivity and
also to help farmers’ profitability.
3. Government of India is promoting the reach of farm mechanization to small
and marginal farmers and to regions where availability of farm power is low.
It also aims at promoting 'Custom Hiring Centers' to offset the adverse
economies of scale arising due to small land holding and high cost of
individual ownership. Centrally Sponsored Scheme 'Sub- Mission on
Agricultural Mechanization' (SMAM) is being implemented through the State
Governments. Under SMAM, financial assistance is being provided for
purchase of agricultural machinery and equipment, including tractors, to the
farmers on individual ownership-basis and for establishment of Custom Hiring
Centre (CHC), High Tech Hub, Farm Machinery Bank (FMB) etc.
4. The Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare is also implementing Centrally
Sponsored Scheme of Per Drop More Crop (PDMC). PDMC focuses on
enhancing water-use efficiency at farm-level through Micro Irrigation viz. Drip
and Sprinkler Irrigation Systems. The Micro Irrigation helps in saving water
as well as reduced fertilizer usage (through fertigation), labour expenses,
other input costs and thereby, creating overall income enhancement of
farmers.
Government of India regularly reviews implementation of these schemes/projects with
States and UTs.ANNEXURE I
