1.INTRODUCTION

Growth, recognized as an un-ignorable engine for expanding incomes and

employment necessary for social uplift, remains a pre-requisite for development.

With the objective of ensuring that growth is widely spread so that its benefits areadequately shared by the poor and weaker sections of the society, theGovernment has geared up for meeting the challenges during the 11th Five YearPlan duly manoeuvring its resources as Agriculture growth continues to besluggish and was of the order of 2.1 percent during the 10th Plan, despite a targetof 4% growth.

11th Five Year Plan (2007-2012)- heralding future growth :

Remarkable transition to a high growth path during the 10th Five Year Plan period

reinforced the underlying strength of the fundamentals of the economy and

eventually resulted in evolving strategies for 11th Five Year Plan. The Government

of India has adopted rapid and inclusive growthas its core theme in the 11thFive Year Plan. The main emphasis is on the Social sector and delivery of services

therein. Education, in particular, has been accorded utmost priority during the

11th Five Year Plan period.

The Approach Paper to the Eleventh Five Year Plan prepared by the Planning

Commission, suggested a road map for 9% per annum growth for the economy as

a whole, and an agricultural growth target of 4% per annum during the plan

period. Agriculture is not only an important driver of macro-economic

performance; it is an essential element of the strategy to make growth more

inclusive.Eleventh Plan was intended to improve the growth rate of agriculture from

2.13% re-alized in the 10th Plan to 4%. With this backdrop of an impressive record

of economic growth coupled with an assured positive upsurge in the living

standards of the people, the Nation is approaching culmination of the Eleventh

Five Year Plan on an optimistic note. Rapid and inclusive growth was the core

theme of the 11th Five Year Plan with one of the main emphasis on agricultural

growth target of 4% per annum.

2.OBJECTIVESOFTHEASSIGNMENT

A series of flagship programmes have been chalked out and a farmer friendly

initiatives have been taken through these flagship programmes to attain the goal

of agricultural growth target of 4% per annum.

Central Ministries and state government departments are implementing various

rural development programmes through a set of guidelines and by separate set of

administrative and institutional mechanisms. The objective of this assignment is

(e). Mainstreaming gender concerns.

3.4 Objectives of different Flagship Programmes

The ultimate objective behind the Flagship programs is to achieve broad-basedimprovement in the living standards of all our people and to ensure that growth iswidely spread so that its benefits, in terms of income and employment, areadequately shared by the poor and weaker sections of the society, especially theScheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), Other Backward Classes (OBCs)and Minorities.

The following seven major flagship programmes are operating in rural areas.(1) Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA)(2) National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM)(3) Indira Awas Yojana (IAY)(4) National Rural Drinking Water Programme(NRDWP) and Total SanitationCampaign (TSP)(5) Integrated Watershed Development Programme (IWDP)(6) Pradhan Mantri Grameen Sadak Yojana (PMGSY)(7) Rural electrification, including separation of agricultural feeders andRajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY).

The Government of India is involved in a large number of programmesin sectors/area such as education, health, labour, skill development etc.that are in the State List through operation of Centrally SponsoredSchemes (CSS) and provision of Central Assistance to StateGovernments. These programmes essentially arose from the abovenational objectives and cut across State boundaries. The CentrallySponsored Schemes (CSS) are operationalized by Central Ministriesbased on scheme specific guidelines and are implemented by State

Governments or their designated agencies.The Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) are implemented to achieve

social objectives like poverty reduction, improving health services,raising food production etc.

RKVY is a State Plan Scheme of Additional Central Assistance,launched inAugust 2007 as a part of the 11th Five Year Plan by theGovernment of India.Launched under the aegis of theNational Development Council,it seeks to

achieve 4% annual growth in agriculture through development of Agriculture andits allied sectors (as defined by thePlanning Commission of India) during theperiod under the 11th Five Year Plan (200711)Concerned by the slow growth in the Agriculture and allied sectors,the National Development Council (NDC) in its meeting held on 29th May,2007 resolved that a special Additional Central Assistance SchemeRashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) be launched. The NDC resolvedthat agricultural development strategies must be reoriented to meet the

needs of farmers and called upon the Central and State Governments toevolve a strategy to rejuvenate agriculture. The NDC reaffirmed itscommitment to achieve 4 percent annual growth in the agricultural sectorduring the XIth Plan. RKVY is to incentives States to draw up plans fortheir agriculture sector more comprehensively, taking agro-climatic

conditions, natural resource issues and technology into account, andintegrating livestock, poultry and fisheries more fully.

Basic Features of the RKVY

The RKVY aims at achieving 4% annual growth in the agriculture sectorduring the XIth Plan period, by ensuring a holistic development of Agriculture andallied sectors. The main objectives of the scheme are :(i) To incentivise the states so as to increase public investment in Agriculture

and allied sectors.(ii) To provide flexibility and autonomy to states in the process of planning and

executing Agriculture and allied sector schemes.(iii) To ensure the preparation of agriculture plans for the districts and the

States based on agro-climatic conditions, availability of technology andNatural resources.

(iv) To ensure that the local needs/crops/priorities are better reflected inThe agricultural plans of the states.

(v) To achieve the goal of reducing the yield gaps in important crops, throughfocussed interventions.

(vi) To maximize returns to the farmers in Agriculture and allied sectors.(vii) To bring about quantifiable changes in the production and productivity of

various components of Agriculture and allied sectors by addressing them ina holistic manner.

Importance of RKVY in rural developmentSince the RKVY is applicable to the entire State Plan for Agriculture and alliedsectors, and seeks to encourage convergence with schemes like NREGS, SGSY andBRGF, the Planning Commission and the Ministry of Agriculture will togetherexamine the Statesoverall Plan proposals for Agriculture and allied sectors aspart of the Annual Plan approval exercise. At this stage, in consultation with theMinistry of Panchayati Raj it will also be decided if the requirements with respectto the District Development Plans have been met or not. Advice may also betaken from DAHD &F, Ministry of Water Resources, MoRD, DARE, and NRAA, ifthe convergence has been appropriately factored in.

Areas of focus under the RKVY

The Department of Agriculture, and in consultation with the Planning

Commission, has prepared the guidelines for the RKVY scheme. The RKVY is aState Plan Scheme. The eligibility for assistance under the scheme depends uponthe amount provided in State Plan Budgets for Agriculture and allied sectors, overand above the base line percentage expenditure incurred by the StateGovernments on Agriculture and allied sectors. The list of allied sectors asindicated by the Planning Commission are the basis for determining the sectoralexpenditure, i.e Crop Husbandry (including Horticulture), Animal Husbandry andFisheries, Dairy Development, Agricultural Research and Education, Forestry andWildlife, Plantation and Agricultural Marketing, Food Storage and


9/24

Warehousing, Soil and Water Conservation, Agricultural Financial Institutions,other Agricultural Programmes and Cooperation.

Components of RKVY

The components for the RKVY briefly cover the following:(a)Integrated development of major food crops such as wheat, paddy, coarse

cereals, minor millets, pulses, oilseeds:(b) Agriculture mechanization:(c) Activities related to enhancement of soil health:(d) Development of rainfed farming systems in and outside watershed areas, as

also Integrated development of watershed areas, wastelands, river valleys(e) Support to State seed farms(f) Integrated Pest Management schemes(g) Encouraging non-farm activities(h) Strengthening of Market Infrastructure and marketing development(i) Strengthening of Infrastructure to promote Extension Services(j) Activities relating to enhancement of horticultural production and

popularization of micro irrigation systems(k) Animal husbandry and fisheries development activities(l) Special schemes for beneficiaries of land reforms(m ) Undertaking concept to completion projects(n) Grant support to the State Government institutions that promote

agriculture/horticulture(o) Study tours of farmers(p) Organic and bio-fertilizers(q) Innovative schemes

This is an indicative list; the states may choose other components/activities,but those should be reflected adequately in the State Agricultural Plan and the

District Agricultural Plan. The scheme(s) administered by the Departments ofAgriculture and Cooperation, and Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheriescovering if any, may be worked out in consultation with the State LevelSanctioning Committee.

b) National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM):National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) is apoverty alleviation projectimplemented byMinistry of Rural Development,Government of India. Thisscheme is focused on promoting self-employment and organization of rural poor.The basic idea behind this programme is to organize the poor into SHG (Self Help

Groups) groups and make them capable for self-employment. In 1999 afterrestructuringIntegrated Rural Development Programme(IRDP), Ministry of RuralDevelopment (MoRD) launched Swarnajayanti Grameen Swarojgar Yojana (SGSY)to focus on promoting self-employment among rural poor. SGSY is nowremodeled to form NRLM thereby plugging the shortfalls of SGSY programme.This scheme was launched in 2011 and is one of the flagship programme ofMinistry of Rural Development. This is one of the worlds largest initiative toimprove the livelihood of poor. This programme is supported by World Bank.

10/24

The core belief of National Rural Livelihood Mission (NRLM) is that the poor haveinnate capabilities and a strong desire to come out of poverty. They areentrepreneurial, an essential coping mechanism to survive under conditions ofpoverty. The challenge is to unleash their capabilities to generate meaningfullivelihoods and enable them to come out of poverty.

MissionMission of NRLM is to reduce poverty by enabling the poor households to accessgainful self- employment and skilled wage employment opportunities resulting inappreciable improvement in their livelihoods on a sustainable basis, throughbuilding strong and sustainable grassroots institutions of the poor.

Guiding Principles

Poor have a strong desire to come out of poverty, and they have innate

capabilities .

An external dedicated and sensitive support structure is required to induce the

social mobilization, institution building and empowerment process.

Facilitating knowledge dissemination, skill building, access to credit, access to

marketing, and access to other livelihoods services enables them to enjoy a

portfolio of sustainable livelihoods.Values

The core values which guide all the activities under NRLM are as follows:

Inclusion of the poorest, and meaningful role to the poorest in all the

processes

Transparency and accountability of all processes and institutions.

Ownership and key role of the poor and their institutions in all stages

planning, implementation, and, monitoring

Community self-reliance and self-dependence

NRLM will be implemented in a mission mode. This enables:

(a) shift from the present allocation based strategy to a demand driven

strategy, enabling the states to formulate their own livelihoods-based poverty

reduction action plans.

(b) focus on targets, outcomes and time bound delivery.

(c) continuous capacity building, imparting requisite skills and creating linkages

with livelihoods opportunities for the poor, including those emerging in the

organized sector.

(d) monitoring against targets of poverty outcomes.


11/24

As NRLM follows a demand driven strategy, the States have the flexibility to

develop their own livelihoods-based perspective plans and annual action plans for

poverty reduction. The overall plans would be within the allocation for the state

based on inter-se poverty ratios.

The second dimension of demand driven strategy implies that the ultimate

objective is that the poor will drive the agenda, through participatory planning at

grassroots level, implementation of their own plans, reviewing and generating

further plans based on their experiences. The plans will not only be demand

driven, they will also be dynamic.

c)Integrated Wasteland Development Projects scheme (IWDP)

The Integrated Wasteland Development Projects scheme (IWDP) taken up by

the National Wasteland Development Board in 1989 also aimed at developing

wastelands on a watershed basis. This programme has now been brought underthe administrative jurisdiction of the Department of Wastelands Development in

the Ministry of Rural Development. The fourth major programme based on the

watershed concept is the National Watershed Development Programme in Rain

fed Areas (NWDPRA) under the Ministry of Agriculture. Watershed Development

Projects have been taken up under different programmes launched by the

Government of India. The Drought Prone Area Programme (DPAP) and the Desert

Development Programme (DDP) adopted the watershed approach in 1987.

Mission

So far, these programmes have laid down their own separate guidelines,

norms, funding patterns and technical components based on their respective and

specific aims. While the Desert Development Programme focused on

reforestation to arrest the growth of hot and cold deserts, the Drought Prone

Areas Programme concentrated on non-arable lands and drainage lines for in-situ

soil and moisture conservation, agro-forestry, pasture development, horticulture

and alternate land uses. The Integrated Wasteland Development Projects, on the

other hand, made silvipasture, soil and moisture conservation on wastelands

under government or community or private control as their predominant activity.

The NWDPRA combines the features of all these three programmes with the

additional dimension of improving arable lands through better crop management

technologies.


12/24

Guiding Principles

The Watershed Development Programme in Drought Prone/Desert/Non-forest

wasteland Areas are implemented by taking up projects for development of

watersheds of 500 hectares each (approximately) in every village in a phased

manner. The aims of any project or activity comprise of a set of purposes or goalsdescribing the benefit that would flow out of the project and the likely groups of

people who would benefit and end result in concrete physical terms that would

be achieved by the end of the project, and a set of norms or criteria which are

measurable and quantifiable to assess whether the end result has successfully

achieved the purposes or not .

Activities

The major activities taken up under the scheme are:

In situ soil and moisture conservation measures like terracing, bunding,

trenching, vegetative barriers and drainage line treatment.

Planting and sowing of multi-purpose trees, shrubs, grasses, legumes and

pasture land development.

Encouraging natural regeneration.

Promotion of agro-forestry & horticulture.

Wood substitution and fuel wood conservation measures.

Awareness raising, training & extension.

Encouraging people's participation through community organization andcapacity building.

Drainage Line treatment by vegetative and engineering structures

Development of small water Harvesting Structures.

Afforestation of degraded forest and non forest wasteland.

Development and conservation of common Property Resources.

4.REVIEW OF LITERATURE

According to previous official poverty estimates, the per centage of thepopulation living below the poverty line had declined by 8.5 per centage points

between 1993-04 and 2004-05. Since the appropriateness of the poverty line was

questioned in some quarters, the Government appointed an Expert Committee

under the Chairmanship of the late Prof. Suresh Tendulkar.The Tendulkar

Committee recommendeda recalibration of the rural poverty line to make it

more comparable with the urban poverty line, which it found to be appropriate.


13/24

The application of the Tendulkar Committee poverty line provides a higher

estimate of rural poverty and therefore also of total poverty, but if the new

method is applied to the earlier years, as it should be, it shows that the per

centage of the population in poverty declined from 45 per cent in 1993-94 to 37

per cent in 2004-05. Thus, poverty declined at roughly 0.8 per centage points peryear during the 11 year period before the Eleventh Plan.

The specific problems of Indian agriculture, and concerns relating to farmers

welfare, have been addressed in the five Reports of the National Farmers

Commission under chairmanship of Prof. M.S. Swaminathan. These problems and

concerns have subsequently been considered by other Committees, most

prominently the NDC Sub-Committee on Agriculture and Related Issueswhich was

chaired by the Agriculture Minister and had eight Working Groups. The Planning

Commission had also set up twelve 11th

Plan Working Groups on agriculture. Based

on all these inputs, the Steering Committee on Agriculture for the 11th

Five Year

Plan has in its conclusions and recommendations taken an overview on the broad

direction of policies needed for agriculture in the 11th

Plan.

According to XIth Plan Working Groups: Crops, Horticulture, NRM, Marketing,

Research, Agro-climatic Zonal Planning, Animal Husbandry, Fisheries, Agri

Extension, Gender, Risk Management, Credit ,A particular area of concern is

foodgrains, whose production during 10th plan was less than during 9th plan. Per

capita annual production of cereals has declined from 192 kg in 1991/1995 to

only 174 kg in 2004/2007 and of pulses from 15 kg to 12 kg. This means that per

capita foodgrains production is now at 1970s levels. Although offset to some

extent by increase in per capita availability of other food products this raises valid

concerns on food security. We must ensure growth in foodgrain production of at

least 2 percent per annum in the 11th Plan.

Regarding Convergence in planning and implementation of Major flagship

Programmes,a Sub-Committee of National Advisory-cum-Review Committee on

BRGFhas been constituted to study the approval systems for flagship

programmes and with the following mandate and also prepare a draft paper to

Identify the major flagship programmes for local area development and

6.SUMMERY AND CONCLUSION

In order to achieve4% growth rate in agriculture and allied animal husbandry

sector,as targeted by planning commission of India,during eleventh plan

convergence in implementation of rural development programmes, the following

measures may be taken.

1. The number of CSSs should be limited and only those schemeswhich are required as a part of the convergence process as a broaderscheme have large outlays so as to make impact across the states to be

implemented, the rest to be weeded out and to be converged with otherschemes.2. The existing CSSs should be categorised into Flagship schemes that have largeoutlays and address major national issues; major sub-sectoral schemes toaddress developmental problems of major sectors like agriculture, education andhealth and Sector-umbrella schemes which deal with the range of problems ofconcerned sector.

3. Distribution of CSSs funds among States should be based on transparent notifiedguidelines which should be put on the website of the concerned Ministries. The Statesmay be incentivised to provide larger outlay in certain sectors like health, education, skilldevelopment and rural infrastructure. The incentives could be by provisions ofadditional funds based on the States own efforts to increase outlays for the sector.

4. The physical and financial norms for the Schemes may be varied depending on

the requirement of the State. A mechanism for developing flexibility in

such norms as against the normal CSS prescription has been suggested.

5.All CSS must have 20 per cent flexi funds (10 per cent for Flagship schemes).

These should be utilised by the States to prepare schemes which areespecially suited for the requirement of that State.

6. Each Flagship programme should provide a flexible pool of financial resources to beused to facilitate and incentivise innovative practices that blaze a trail forothers to follow during the Twelfth Plan period.

7.There should be a concurrent monitoring and evaluation of the CSS. Thisshould be done by independent monitors. This assessment could bedone by professional institutions, visit of experts to major project-implementing States or assessment by individual experts by visits to the field.8.PRIs as Centre point: Recently, the Government of India has issued guidelines on

SAKSHARA BHARATHI (on Adult Education) bringing the Panchayat Raj Institutions as

central point in implementation of the programme. In the long run, all the Ministries

should use this type of well established Institutional Platform to achieve convergence.

9.Integrated and comprehensive Training: The guidelines of different ministries have

provision for orgainising training programmes for the functionaries. This

compartmentalized system of training does not recognize the vital link between different

programmes. Hence the training should be designed in such a way that the functionaries

equipped with necessary skills to achieve convergence in implementation of the

programmes by mobilizing man power and resources of related departments. Training

fund of different programmes needs to be pooled for the integrated and holistic trainingprogrammes.

10.Accounting system and recording of works: Appropriate monitoring mechanism

should be put in place to avoid double recording work in different programmes for the

same work. Accounting system should also be modified accordingly.

11.Participatory planning from the grassroots level upwards led by local governments will

lead to a strong sense of ownership and achieve much of better results in local

development.

To summarise, achievement of the target of 4% growth is technically feasible

but requires concerted action on several fronts with the states taking

responsibility for holistic planning of agriculture based on a farming system

centred on the prevailing agro-climatic conditions. The Centre also has a major

role to play in providing additional resources in critical areas and incentivising and

supporting the efforts of the States.
