| 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.
