ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE
(SHRI SUDARSHAN BHAGAT)
(a): Agriculture is a State Subject. However, the Government of India supports the State Governments through various Central Sector and Centrally Sponsored Schemes for which financial assistance is provided in the sharing pattern of 60:40 between the Centre & the States (90:10 in case of 8 North Eastern and 3 Himalayan States). A list of major schemes being implemented by the Department is at Annexure – I.
(b) to (e): Some of the States are not able to fully utilize the allocated funds. A statement showing the allocation of funds and expenditure incurred by various States during the financial year 2015-16 is at Annexure – II. The Government of India regularly monitors/ reviews progress of the Schemes through meetings with concerned officers of State Governments to ensure efficient and judicious utilization of funds. Besides, zonal conferences, review meetings, video conferences are regularly held with the State Govt. and officers of the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers’ Welfare visit the States to keep a close watch on the implementation of various agricultural schemes.
