Approval of Annual Action Plan (AAP) of Andaman & Nicobar&

Lakshadweep Islands

In the Andaman Nicobar & Lakshadweep Islands, the Scheme of High Value

Agriculture is being implemented. However, the funds are being provided for

implementation of different components from the concerned schemes, viz. National

Horticulture Mission, Coconut Development Board and National Horticulture Board.

The AAP of the scheme was approved by the Empowered Committee on High Value

Agriculture under the Chairmanship of Additional Secretary (D), in its meeting held

on 18th July, 2007. The NHM component under the scheme for Andaman & Nicobar

Islands was approved for Rs. 174.54 lakhs and for Lakshadweep Islands for Rs.

57.34 lakhs.

32

EC approved the proposal for implementation of NHM component under

the High Value Agriculture scheme during 2007-08, at an outlay of Rs 174.55

lakhs for Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Rs 57.43 lakhs for Lakshadweep Islands.

General Observations (i) At least five copies of the project based proposals should be submitted to

the NHM alongwith one copy of DPR especially for the credit linked projects at the first instance for examination at DAC level. Thereafter, thirty copies of the gist of the project after incorporating the comments of NHM, should be submitted well in advance for circulation to the members of Executive Committee.

(ii) All the project based proposals should be duly appraised by the SHM as

per the provisions and norms of the Scheme and approved by the State Level Executive Committee of Horticulture Mission Society.

(iii) Only those project proposals should be submitted for which necessary

budget provision has been made in the Annual Action Plan.

(iv) For the credit linked projects SHM should ensure that the sanction letter of the Bank loan and also the certificate from the beneficiary indicating that the subsidy has not been availed from any other Department of Government of India and State Government for the project, should be attached with the project.

(v) SHM should submit the project as per the prescribed proforma. Model

project format for some of the projects like, integrated unit for mushroom development, small and model nursery, rural markets/apni mandies, whole sale market and bio control lab was circulated to all SHMs during the meeting of Mission Directors.

(vi) In case of private sector, the subsidy amount is provided as back ended

linking it with credit from the Bank/financial institutions. Therefore, SHM should adopt the procedure prescribed by the NABARD by constituting the team of the representative from concerned Bank, NHB, State Government and NHM for joint inspection before releasing the subsidy.

(vii) Since, the infrastructure/ assets created in both public and private sector

under the programme viz. post harvest infrastructure, sanitary and phyto sanitary labs, bio control labs, plant health clinics, disease forecasting units, leaf/tissue analysis labs, are out of government funds, the services and products from these units should be made available to the farmers on concessional rate in certain percentage from the existing market rate. SHM should fix the rate of concession. The State also needs to maintain an asset register.

(viii) The Wholesale Markets sanctioned should be equipped with the core

infrastructure facilities as per the items indicated at Annexure ll. The meeting ended with a Vote of thanks to the Chair.
