Introduction: To implement the resolution of

National Development Council (NDC) which

envisages to increase the production of Rice,

Wheat and Pulses to the tune of 10 million tons, 8

million tons and 2 million tons respectively, a

Centrally Sponsored Scheme, 'National Food

Security Mission' (NFSM) has been launched from

2007-08 in 311 districts of 17 States. NFSM has

three sub-components viz:

NFSM-Rice

NFSM-Wheat

NFSM-Pulses

Mission Objectives: Increasing production of rice,

wheat and pulses through area expansion, and

productivity enhancement in a sustainable

manner in the identified districts of the country

through:

Restoring soil fertility and productivity at the

individual farm level;

Creation of employment opportunities; and

Enhancing farm level economy to restore

confidence among the farmers.

Implementation Strategy: The approach adopted

includes active involvement of all stakeholders in

planning, execution and monitoring of the

programme, promotion and extension of

improved technologies (seed, nutrients, plant

protection, soi l amendments, resource

conservation, farm machines and tools),

integration of interventions with district plan,

regular monitoring and concurrent evaluation for

impact assessment.

Rice: The productivity of districts selected under

NFSM-rice is less than the average productivity of

the state and the district has at least 50,000 ha

area under rice crop.

Wheat: The productivity of districts selected

under NFSM-wheat is less than the average

productivity of the state and at least 50% of the

area under wheat is irrigated.

Pulses: Districts selected under NFSM-Pulses has

potential for expansion of area under pulses

through intercropping, use of rice-fallow and

replacement of upland rice.

Criteria for Selection districts:

Mission Structure: A General Council (GC)

constituted under the Chairmanship of

Agriculture Minster is the policy making body

providing suitable directives and guidance to the

mission and review overall progress of the

scheme. The GC is empowered to lay down and

amend the operational guidelines, decide need-

based reallocation of resources across states and

districts and approve projects as per the

requirements. However, the subsidy norms as

approved by the Government shall in no

circumstances be exceeded for any of the Mission

components. A special Food Security Cell has been

created in the Crops Division to provide necessary

support to GC and NFSMEC. The GC is empowered

to include or exclude a district for implementation

of NFSM.

also member secretary of the respective

Executive Committee at National and state level

respectively. National Mission Director is also the

member secretary of the General Council

Implementation: The State Governments have

nominated a suitable autonomous agency

for implementing the Mission at the State and

district level. Project Management teams (PMT)

have been constituted at National, State and

District level. Technical experts and other staff

appointed on contractual basis for technology

transfer and implementation of the Mission

support PMTs at all levels.

Role of Panchayati Raj Institutions: Panchayati

Raj Institutions are actively involved in following

activities:

Selection of beneficiary and identification of

priority areas for the implementation of

Mission interventions; and

Implementation of local initiatives in

identified districts.

Mechanism of Fund Flow: Funds for the

implementation of Mission's programmes are

directly released to state level autonomous

agencies identified by the state with the approval

of NFSMEC. The state level agency ensures the

implementation of the programme, in a time

bound manner and makes funds available to the

district level agency in accordance with their

programmes.

Monitoring: NFM has a strong mechanism of

monitoring and Evaluation with the involvement

of all implementing agencies and the line

departments. At National level a committee

constituted under the chairmanship of Mission

Director monitors the activities of the mission.

Directorates of Rice, Wheat and Pulses

the NFSM activities in eastern, northern and

Central & southern states respectively.

Information communication technology is used to

monitor the field activities.

Evaluation: A baseline survey will be conducted

by the State Department responsible for

Economic and Statistics to know the resource

endowment of the farmers and the level of

productivity. Concurrent evaluation is to be done

every year by the State Statistical Department

every year.

In the third year of the implementation of NFSM,

mid term evaluation at the National level is

proposed to be undertaken through an

independent agency/organization on its

performance and shortcomings so as to take the

remedial measures / make required changes in

the scheme and its method of implementation. An

impact Evaluation Study at the National level is

also proposed through an independent agency

after the third year of implementation to assess

the impact of the schemes.

Position of Ongoing Schemes: The Centrally

Sponsored Scheme on Integrated Cereal

Development Programme (ICDP Rice/Wheat)are

discontinued in the NFSM-Rice and MFSM-Wheat

districts. Similarly the Integrated Scheme on

Pulses, Oilseeds and Maize has ceased to operate
