FEW MORE FACTS Material flow (agriculture produce) continue

to happen through mandis, an online market reduces transaction costs and information asymmetry.

Department of Agriculture, Cooperation & Farmers’ Welfare (DAC&FW) is meeting expenses on software and its customisation for the States and is providing it free of cost.

DAC&FW is also giving a grant as one time fixed cost subject to the ceiling of Rs.30.00 lakhs per Mandi

/Harveersir


COMPONENTS OF NAM Harmonisation of quality standards of

agricultural produce and provision for assaying (quality testing) infrastructure in every market to enable informed bidding by buyers.

Common tradable parameters have so far been developed for 25 commodities.

Single point levy of market fees, i.e on the first wholesale purchase from the farmer.

Provision of Soil Testing Laboratories in/ or near the selected mandi to facilitate visiting farmers to access this facility in the mandi itself.

BENEFITS OF NAM For farmers, NAM promises more

options for selling their produce and competitive returns.

For local traders, NAM will provide access to larger national market for secondary trading.

For bulk buyers, processers, exporters, NAM will enable direct participation in the local mandi trade, reducing intermediation cost.

Stable prices and availability to consumer.

BENEFITS OF NAMMonitoring and regulation of traders and commission agents;

Completely transparent system Improvement in the market fee collection

Reduction in manpower requirements as tendering /

IT DOES NOT INCLUDE Direct sale by farmers to processors, or,

contract marketing without bringing produce to mandi;

Even under e-NAM, market committee will continue to hold its monopoly power in terms of offering a platform for sale/purchase;

Removal of legal barriers to entry of orgnised and modern capital and investments into agricultural marketing.

Rationalisation of market fee, commission charges, cess and taxes and development charges

HARVEERSIR for GSSCOREYear Milestone2005 President Kalam gives assent to NREGA, a

program for livelihood security. Unskilled 100 days of compulsory work to one adult member of the family in rural India.

2006 Launched in Anantpur District (AP). First Phase 200 District covered.

crore in previous year)Flood Management, Livestock, Fisheries, Sanitation added to Activities.

2016 Happy 10th Years completion.

It is world’s largest public Works program.

It is demand driven so (additional employment and income)

Local implementation is the key.

20


SOME FACTS ABOUT MNAREGA India has spent Rs.3.1 trillion on the

implementation of MGNAREGA. created 19.8 billion work days for people It largely led to a reduction of distress. Also helped in increase in rural incomes in

the decade. created assets: small check dams and other

water conservation projects, afforestation and land development projects are of a quality that will stand the test of time

21


SOME FACTS ABOUT MNAREGA44% of all wage payments are

being made on timeMore than half of those who

demanded work were womenMNREGA decreased short-term

migration by 10% and had no effect on long-term migration.

NEED FORconcurrent social audits and

community monitoring will be undertaken to ensure that assets created under the programme are durable and long-lasting.

sustainable individual assets to benefit the poor and vulnerable households (Farm Ponds, Vermi Compost)

24


Generation of employment has seen a sharp decline from the peak of 2,840 million person-days in 2009-10 to 1,550 million person-days last year. (45%. Reduction)

25

HARVEERSIR for GSSCOREIS MNREGA HARMFUL TO THE INTERESTS OF FARMERS ? The most prominent accusation is that MNREGA has

led to a shortage of workers available for farm work, and hence, increased agricultural wages.

It is alleged that this has resulted in an increased production costs, and has made farming difficult and unviable (Murthy and Mishra 2012).

BUT MNREGA participation is higher in villages where

there are fewer landless households. A major part of asset creation under MNREGA has

been for the benefit of small and marginal farm holdings, particularly Scheduled Castes/ Scheduled Tribes (SC/ ST)

26

HARVEERSIR for GSSCORESTANDING COMMITTEEON RURAL DEVELOPMENT Ensuring livelihood for people in rural areas. Large scale participation of women, Scheduled

Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SCs/STs) and other traditionally marginalised sections of society. SCs/STs account for 51% of the total person-days generated and women account for 47% of the total person-days generated.

Increasing the wage rate in rural areas and strengthening the rural economy through the creation of infrastructure assets.

Facilitating sustainable development, and Strengthening PRIs by involving them in the

planning and monitoring of the scheme.Source: PRS INDIA

27

HARVEERSIR for GSSCOREISSUES IN IMPLEMENTATION OF SCHEME: STANDING COMMITTEE Fabrication of job cards: While as many as 12.5 crore households

have been issued job cards out of an estimated 13.8 crore rural households ( as per the 2001 census), there are several issues related to existence of fake job cards, inclusion of fictitious names, missing entries and delays in making entries in job cards.

Delay in payment of wages: Most states have failed to disburse wages within 15 days as mandated by MGNREGA. In addition, workers are not compensated for a delay in payment of wages.

Non payment of unemployment allowances: Most states do not pay an unemployment allowance when work is not given on demand. The non-issuance of dated receipts of demanded work prevents workers from claiming an unemployment allowance.

Large number of incomplete works: There has been a delay in the completion of works under MGNREGA and inspection of projects has been irregular. Implementing agencies were able to complete only 98 lakh works out of 296 lakh works. As Table 2 shows, a large percentage of works remain incomplete under MGNREGA and the work completion rate appears to be decreasing in recent years.

28


CONCLUDING REMARKS Indian agriculture is about seasonality:

Lean/Slack season. MNAREGA works as the supplementary income tool.

Social Equity. Creation of Productive Assets. Bargaining Powers to Rural Workers. Rise of Real rural wages in India: has

the impact of rural distress.

THE INSURANCE PENETRATIONAccording to Census 2011, India

had 95.8 million farmers. But in the six farming seasons

covering 2011 to 2013, only an average of 12.7 million took crop insurance.

That’s one in about eight farmers
