Centre for Sustainable Agriculture
Background Deceleration in agricultural growth due to
decreasing public investment NDC Resolution: “Introduce a new
Additional Central Assistance scheme to incentivise States to draw up plans for their agriculture sector more comprehensively, taking agro-climatic conditions, natural resource issues and technology into account, and integrating livestock, poultry and fisheries more fully...”
Basic Features of RKVY
State Plan schemeFunds provided as 100% grantEligibility criteria Allocation criteria
Objectives of the RKVY1. To incentivize the states that increase their
investment in Agriculture and allied sectors2. To provide flexibility and autonomy to the
States in planning and executing programmes for agriculture
3. To ensure the preparation of Agriculture Plans for the districts and states
4. To achieve the goal of reducing the yield gaps in important crops
5. To maximize returns to the farmers6. To address the agriculture and allied
sectors in an integrated manner
Basic features of the RKVY
1. It is a State Plan scheme2. The eligibility of a state for the RKVY is contingent
upon the state maintaining or increasing the State Plan expenditure for Agrl. & Allied Sectors
3. The base line expenditure is determined based on the average expenditure incurred by the State Government during the three years prior to the previous year.
4. The list of allied sectors is as indicated by the Planning Commission
5. The preparation of the district and State Agriculture Plans is mandatory
Basic features.. Contd.6. Encourages convergence with other programmes such as
NREGS, SGSY, BRGF, etc. 7. Pattern of funding is 100% Central Government Grant. 8. If the state lowers its investment in the subsequent
years, and goes out of the RKVY basket, then the balance resources for completing the projects already commenced would have to be committed by them.
9. It will be an incentive scheme – allocations are not automatic
10.It will integrate agriculture and allied sectors comprehensively
11.It will give high levels of flexibility to the states – including approvals at the level of the state governments
12.Projects with definite time-lines are highly encouraged
List of allied sectors Crop Husbandry (including Horticulture) Animal Husbandry, Dairy Development
and Fisheries Agricultural Research and Education Agricultural Marketing Food storage and Warehousing Soil and Water Conservation Agricultural Financial Institutions Other Agriculture Programmes and
Cooperation
Three clear stages
Determination of Eligibility – to be done by the Planning Commission
Determination of Allocation – to be done by the Planning Commission
Distribution of Funds – to be done by the DAC
Once a state becomes eligible..
The allocation among the eligible states is dependant upon three parameters..
% share of net un-irrigated area to the net un-irrigated area of the eligible states – 20%
The Projected growth rates in the GSDP, to be attained by the end of XI Plan – 30%
Increase in the total Plan expenditure in Agrl. & Allied Sectors - 50%
Stream-1 : At least 75% of the allocated amount
Stream-2: The balance amount
The distribution of funds is in two streams
• Funding approved by a State Level Sanctioning Committee (SLSC) headed by the State Chief Secretary
• Oriented toward project based funding, with definite time-lines
• States will have to prepare DPRs for undertaking projects consistent with the SAPs and DAPs
• Existing Schemes that require strengthening can be covered under this – especially such schemes that have a resource gap
• Not more than 25% allocated funds can be used for this stream
• Sanction procedure as in the case of other plan schemes
• Option to expend the entire resources under the Stream-1 exists
Planning Process A District Agriculture Plan (DAP) for each
district should be formulated Planning Commission has already
circulated detailed guidelines The DAP should include AH, Dairying,
Fisheries, Minor Irrigation Projects, RD works, etc.
A comprehensive State Agriculture Plan (SAP) should evolve out of the DAPs
Finalized SAP should be placed before the DAC/Planning Commission, as a part of the State Plan Exercise.

Areas of Convergence
Areas of Focus under the RKVY Integrated Development of Food crops, including coarse cereals,
minor millets and pulses Agriculture Mechanization Soil Health and Productivity Development of Rainfed Farming Systems IPM Market Infrastructure Horticulture AH, Dairying & Fisheries Concept to Completion Projects that have definite time-lines Support to Institutions that promote Agriculture and Horticulture,
etc. Organic and Bio-fertilizers Innovative Schemes
Operationalising the RKVY State Agriculture Department is the Nodal
Department For fast-track implementation states may
notify or create an Agency to implement the RKVY
Funds may be released directly to the Agency to facilitate faster flow
Administrative expenses of the Agency can be borne under the RKVY but within the overall ceiling of 1% of the total allocation under the RKVY

But what is happening? Spending on seed-related projects in RKVY:
730.7 cr in 2010-11 : Nearly 27% went into hybrid maize promotion
Organic farming spending in RKVY: 3.82% in 2009-10; Came down to 1.77% in 2010-11
Green Revolution in Eastern India
(From the PIB Press Release, 1st June 2010) Green revolution envisages adoption of new
seed varieties, farm machines, nutrients, pesticides and knowledge based intervention as developed for different agro climatic zones.
Essentially, the objective is to increase the crop productivity by intensive cultivation through promotion of recommended agriculture technologies and package of practices.
Rs. 400-crore in the Union Budget for 2010, for ‘extending the Green Revolution to the eastern region under RKVY
“Potential of Eastern Region” “The region is endowed with climatic conditions
particularly congenial temperature regime
suitable for year round cropping
Vast unexploited agricultural potential
increasing cropping intensity
Increasing crop productivity
The region witnesses high annual rainfall and is
rich in utilizable surface and ground-water
resources Groundwater Availability & Utilisation - mostly
classified as Underdeveloped”
