| Title :
|
Macro
Management of Agriculture ‘Supplementation/Complementation
of States’ Efforts through Work Plan’ |
|
Type : |
Centrally Sponsored Scheme |
| Objective
: |
Macro
Management scheme will aim at all round development in
agriculture through Work Plans prepared by States. These
include
- reflection of local needs/crop/regions
specific/ priorities etc.
- providing flexibility and autonomy to
States;
- optimum utilization of scarce financial
resource;
- maximisation of returns;
- removal of regional imbalances.
|
| Salient
features : |
It has
been decided to move away from schematic approach to Macro
management mode by integrating 27 Centrally Sponsored Schemes
listed at Annexure I. The previous pattern of rigid
uniformly structured Centrally Sponsored Schemes, permitting
little or no flexibility, which resulted in large unutilised
balances with states has been dispensed with. Integration
of Centrally Sponsored Schemes under Macro management approach
will enhance the productivity of support programmes and accord
greater flexibility to State Governments to develop and pursue
activities on the basis of regional priorities. It is,
thus, a major step towards achieving decentralization in
pursuance of restoring primacy of States in agricultural
development planning. The Central Government will
supplement/complement the State Governments’ efforts
through regionally differentiated Work Plans comprising crop/
area/target group specific interventions, formulated in an
interactive mode and implemented in spirit of partnership with
the States. |
| Pattern
of assistance : Eligibility : |
The outlay of the Work Plan would be shared by the Centre and
the States in the ratio of 90:10. In the case of
North-Eastern States, however, the entire expenditure will be
borne by the Government of India. Central assistance for
Work Plans will be in the ratio of 80 by grants and 20% by
loans. All States/UTs. |
