ANSWER
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CHEMICALS AND FERTILIZERS
(SMT. ANUPRIYA PATEL)
(a) To strengthen the cooperative fertilizer distribution network and to ensure the
timely availability of fertilizers, including urea, to farmers, as on 28.07.2026, 1,54,562
Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samruddhi Kendras (PMKSKs) have been developed across
the nation. Out of these, 33,403 are Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS)
which have been upgraded as PMKSKs, strengthening the last-mile distribution
network and improving access to fertilizers in rural areas. Additionally, Cash Credit
Limits (CCLs) have been facilitated for PACS through District Central Cooperative
Banks (DCCBs).
In respect of timely availability of fertilizers, following steps are taken by the
Government every season in the country:i. Before the commencement of each cropping season, Department of Agriculture
and Farmers Welfare (DA&FW), in consultation with all the State Governments,
assesses the State-wise & month-wise requirement of fertilizers.
ii. On the basis of requirement projected by DA&FW, Department of Fertilizers
(DoF) allocates adequate quantities of fertilizers to States by issuing monthly
supply plan and continuously monitors the availability.
iii. The movement of all major subsidized fertilizers is monitored throughout the
country by an on-line web-based monitoring system called integrated Fertilizer
Management System (iFMS).
iv. The State Governments are regularly advised to coordinate with manufacturers
and importers for streamlining the supplies through timely placement of indents.
v. Regular coordination with the Ministry of Railways for giving sufficient rakes,
priority to fertilizers and for timely evacuation of rakes for States.
vi. The distribution of fertilizers within the State at district level is done by the
concerned State government.
(b) Yes Sir. The month-wise, season-wise and company-wise allocation of
fertilizers, including supplies of IFFCO and KRIBHCO, is allocated by the Government
of India based on the assessed seasonal requirement. Based on these allocations,
the Department of Agriculture, Rajasthan conducts fortnightly review meetings with
IFFCO, KRIBHCO and other fertilizer companies to review the supply position, monitor
availability, address any gaps, and ensure timely distribution of fertilizers across the
State in accordance with seasonal agricultural demand. District wise and Season wise
demand, supply and IFFCO, KRIBHCO supply details are enclosed at Annexure.
(c) The Integrated Fertilizers Management System (iFMS) system captures
movement and dispatch details through integration with company SAP/ERP systems
and provides continuous monitoring of fertilizer availability and supply position at pan
India level. Department of Fertilizers has also developed a dashboard which can be
accessed by authorized users. The dashboard is developed to facilitate easy
monitoring by various stakeholders viz. State Agriculture Departments, District
Collectors and State Marketing Federations. The State Governments also monitors
the availability and supply of fertilizers through iFMS and e-Urvarak Dashboard
portals.
(d) In order to improve cooperative outreach, digital advisory services and farmer
awareness so as to promote efficient and balanced fertilizer usage, the Government
is promoting balanced fertilizer use through PMKSKs by strengthening digital advisory
services, capacity building of PACS, awareness campaigns based on Soil Health
Cards, convergence with agricultural institutions, and wider adoption of ICT-enabled
decision support systems.
Furthermore, Department of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare promotes
Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) to ensure the balanced and efficient use of
chemical fertilizers, organic manures, and biological inputs for sustainable nutrient
management, improved soil health, and enhanced crop productivity. To support this,several initiatives are being implemented, including the Soil Health & Fertility
Scheme, under which 26.07 crore Soil Health Cards have been issued with crop-
specific fertilizer recommendations; the Per Drop More Crop (PDMC) scheme, which
has brought about 110 lakh hectares under micro-irrigation; Rainfed Area
Development (RAD), covering 9.32 lakh hectares under Integrated Farming Systems
and benefiting 15.28 lakh farmers; Agroforestry under the Har Medh Par Ped
initiative, through which 1,725 nurseries have been established and 1,594.48 lakh
saplings raised; the National Mission on Natural Farming (NMNF), with 20.93 lakh
farmers registered and 10.32 lakh hectares covered; Paramparagat Krishi Vikas
Yojana (PKVY), which has brought 18.84 lakh hectares under organic farming
benefiting 33.94 lakh farmers; and Mission Organic Value Chain Development for
North Eastern Region (MOVCDNER), covering 2.36 lakh hectares and benefiting
2.70 lakh farmers. In addition, the Government is also promoting the use of nano
fertilizers through large-scale awareness campaigns, demonstrations, drone-based
spraying, battery-operated sprayers, and trained village-level entrepreneurs to
improve nutrient use efficiency and reduce nutrient losses.
At the State level, the Government of Rajasthan is strengthening the
cooperative fertilizer distribution network by ensuring the timely availability of fertilizers
through Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS) and Pradhan Mantri Kisan
Samruddhi Kendras (PMKSKs).
To promote the efficient management and balanced use of fertilizers, the following
campaigns have been undertaken by the Government of Rajasthan:
i. "Dharti Mata Bachao" monitoring committees – 11,677 campaigns conducted
and 2,56,894 farmers participated.
ii. "Aapno Khet, Aapno Khaad" campaign to promote green manure, organic
manure, bio fertilizers and balance use of fertilizers – 14332 campaigns
conducted and 4,67,812 farmers participated.
iii. "Khet Bachoo Abhiyan" campaign to promote green manure, organic manure,
bio fertilizers and balance use of fertilizers – 10529 campaigns conducted and
29,931 farmers participated.
iv. "Agriculture Extension field functionary conducting Kishan Gosthi, Famers
Training, Seminars to educate farmers for balance use of fertilizers."Campaign
