Further, officers of the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare frequently visit the States to keep a close watch on the implementation of various agricultural schemes including utilization of funds. Provision of concurrent monitoring and evaluation is also there. Web-based online reporting systems are also in place for most schemes. Details of scheme-wise mechanisms of concerted monitoring are placed at Annexure-I.
