1. Introduction

Agricultural development of a region is determined by the level of infrastructural

status supporting the agriculture sector. A reasonable level of infrastructure that caters to the

focused and overall progress of agriculture and allied sectors is inevitable. Therefore, it is apt

that under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY), support for augmenting the same is

planned since the inception of the Scheme in year 2007 and more emphatically in the XII

Five Year plan. In order to plan for the development of the infrastructure, it is a pre-requisite

to take stock of the general economy of the district and the agriculture sector’s status.

The RKVY scheme of the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation (DAC),

Ministry of Agriculture was started in the XI plan period with full Central grants across

states. Projects focused in the XII plan are for crop development, horticulture, agricultural

mechanization, natural resource management, marketing and post-harvest management,

animal husbandry, dairy development, fisheries, extension etc. About 5768 projects were

implemented with an expenditure of Rs.21587 cr under RKVY. Thus, agriculture got a fillip

and could achieve a growth rate of 3.64 per cent/ yr during XI plan compared to 2.46 per cent

in the X plan period. In order to continue the momentum and also give fillip to the

infrastructure development, the RKVY scheme came up with a separate focus on

infrastructure and brought out the Operational guidelines. Accordingly the states were

advised to come up with two separate set of plans - Comprehensive District Agricultural

Plans (CDAP) and State Agriculture Infrastructure Development Plans (SAIDP). The SAIDP

plan preparation was initiated with twin objectives viz. District level plans encompassing

plans for all the agriculture and allied sectors with overall development and the other was the

State (Andhra Pradesh) plan as a whole (sector specific plans in that). The district plans were

prepared by involving stakeholders (line department officials, farmers, NGOs and private

companies etc.) and by field visits to existing and potential sites. On the other hand, the state

level sectoral plans were prepared by involving the state level line department functionaries

and other stakeholders. Of course the state (sectoral) plan is a compilation of district plans

across sectors.

The State Agriculture Infrastructure Development Plan report comprises of the following

sections:

2. General profile of the State

2.1. Introduction

The present state of Andhra Pradesh is the remainder of the state of undivided Andhra

Pradesh after bifurcation in 2014 with the jurisdiction of nine Coastal Andhra and four

Rayalaseema districts. The original/undivided state of Andhra Pradesh was first among the

states to be formed on linguistic basis on 1st November 1956. The newly formed residuary

state of Andhra Pradesh took its birth on 2nd June 2014. The state has certain geographical

advantages which will be handy for it to rise to the expectations of the population. The state

is also endowed with natural resources such as minerals, forests, agricultural diversity among

others.

The state is primarily dependent on agriculture as vast areas of land is committed to

this sector besides dependence on allied sectors such as animal husbandry, fisheries and

sericulture among others. The states map with district boundaries and their bordering states is

given in fig 1. The state has 13 districts, 42 revenue divisions and 666 mandals. The map

indicating the mandal boundaries is in fig 2.

2.2. Land use status

The state has a total geographical area of 162440.1 km2 area. Of this most of the area is in

agricultural use (48 %). The next major use is forests (21 %). Waste lands covered 9.8 per

cent of the state’s area. The water bodies occupy another six percent while the built up area

accounted for three per cent of the geographical area (fig 3 & Table 1). The river basins and

location of water bodies is marked in fig 4.

The state of Andhra Pradesh has relatively moderate level of ground water status with 561

(84 %) of mandals falling in the safe category. Whereas 46 mandals (7 %) are classified as

semi critical, 12 mandals as critical (2 %) and remaining 45 mandals (7 %) are over exploited

(Fig 5 & Table 2).

4.2.7. Soil and water conservation

The undivided state of Andhra Pradesh has the distinction of implementing soil and water conservation measures through watershed

development and also by setting up a District Water Management Agency. This is in addition to the efforts of soil conservation wing in the

Department of Agriculture. The state had come out with innovations not only in the methods/ interventions but also in the implementation

36

processes. The information on the Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) has been provided by only three of the 13 districts. Districts such as

Anantapuramu and Chittoor have implemented SWC both through watersheds and through the soil conservation wing of the department which

were also the leading districts in the implementation of MGNREGS that also contributed to similar works have unfortunately not shared the

information in this regard (Table 19).

7. Issues and Strategies for Infrastructure Development

The state of Andhra Pradesh is challenged with several issues in agriculture and allied

sectors. Many of these are concerned with the natural resources coupled with the

management of the farms and the enterprises. Some of the most common and frequent issues

concerning agriculture in the state are –

Frequent droughts in some areas and cyclones in some other areas.

Almost absence of quality management in inputs except for notional quality control

measures from the concerned departments.

Frequent market failures for several commodities

Inadequate and poor quality infrastructure not only for core agriculture but also for

the allied sectors

Technology adoption is moderate to high in central costal districts while it is low to

medium in the other districts

Marketing and value addition infrastructure is highly inadequate that needs urgent

attention

Some of the strategies that need to be adopted on priority are as follows:

Setting up an agricultural policy research institute in ANGRAU for taking up research

on topical issues and advising the State from time to time.

Establish a permanent agriculture commission on the lines of Punjab state

The State Level Coordination committee must meet frequently to discuss various

issues of RKVY scheme implementation.

Create a matching fund by pooling funds from agricultural cess (from markets) and

budgetary support of the state

Promote district level agricultural advisory bodies by drafting serving and retired

scientists and line department officials besides representatives from NGOs and

farmers.

8. Conclusions and recommendations

Andhra Pradesh which was called as the rice bowl of South India lost its glory because of

several reasons. In the past two decades also the concerns of farmers due to switch over to

commercial crops like cotton, chillies and maize have left them more in distress than in

stability. Although green revolution did contribute moderately to the state for the growth of

agriculture but it got the fillip in the late 1960s and 70s which was later turned into a great

opportunity by the state due to sheer hardship and innovations of farming community. The

developments of allied sectors in the next two to three decades gave the much required

support to the farmers. The various schemes introduced by the centre and the subsequently by

the state to bring vibrancy in agriculture and allied sectors has kept it going at a moderate

pace. It is now time that schemes like RKVY have given the much required space and

opportunity to grow for the Sunrise state such as Andhra Pradesh. Accordingly the

infrastructure development plan for the state of AP is prepared with an outlay of Rs.341714

lakhs (78 % district plan + 22 % State plan).
