(SHRI PARSHOTTAM RUPALA)
(a): The details of total number of farmers who receive Minimum Support Price (MSP) for the notified crops during the past three years are at annexure-I to annexure-III.

With a view to create a robust mechanism for delivery of MSP to farmers, Government of India had circulated a concept note on different models including Price deficiency payment mechanism (similar to Bhavantar Bhugtan Scheme) to states for their views and a meeting with all states has been held by NITI Aayog on 9/3/2018 to finalize the mechanism for delivery of MSP to farmers.
