Chapter 2

2.13.2 The approach identified for the livestock sector in the 11th Plan is to achieve an overall growth between 6 to 7 percent per annum for the sector as a whole, with milk group achieving a growth of 5 % per annum, meat and poultry achieving a growth of 10 % per annum. The targeted growth rate of fisheries is 6 %. The benefit of higher growth should be equitable, benefiting mainly the small and marginal farmers and landless labourers who maintain bulk of the livestock in the country. It should also benefit drought prone, arid and semi-arid areas. The sector should also provide additional employment opportunities to the people in rural areas especially women, who manage livestock in the household, thereby empowering women. The strategy for the 11th Plan is based on the following considerations:

(i) There is a need for institutional restructuring of the existing development machinery, both at the National and State level.

(ii) A sustainable and financially viable livestock farming, which will generate wealth and self-employment through entrepreneurship, is the need of the day.

(iii) The successful examples of public-private partnership initiative should be replicated and expanded during the 11th Five Year Plan.

(iv) Initiatives on the pattern of producers’ organizations like ‘Anand’ need to be taken up in other livestock products, especially, meat and poultry.

(v) There is a need to provide efficient and effective decentralized services at the doorstep of livestock farmers.

(vi) A mechanism for transfer of technological development to the producers’ should be instituted.

(vii) There is a need to build a line of credit to meet the requirement of livestock sector.

(viii) Need for enhancement of fish production and productivity by way of establishing fish hatchery, ponds and tanks.

(ix) Need to undertake culture based capture fisheries in larger water bodies and to practice open sea cage culture.

2.13.3 The Department has, accordingly, restructured some of the existing schemes and has also introduced new schemes in the Eleventh Plan.

2.14AnnualPlan2009-10&2010-11

2.14.1 The Department was allocated `1,100 crore for the Annual Plan 2009-10, which was revised to `930 crore at the RE stage. The final expenditure for 2009-10 was `873.38 crore. For the year 2010-11, the Department has been allocated `1,300 crore. By the end of December 2010, the Department has incurred an expenditure of `855.33 crore.

2.14.2 The scheme-wise BE, RE and Expenditure for 2009-2010 and 2010-11 are given at Annexure–X.

3.3.6Liquid Nitrogen (LN) Transportanddistributionsystem:

3.3.6.1 Before initiation of NPCBB, small stand alone plants were used by the State Departments of Animal Husbandry and most of the plants were facing frequent breakdowns. The unit cost of production was very high ranging from `30 to `35 per litre. Concept of procurement of liquid nitrogen from private sources was introduced for the first time in the country under NPCBB. The unit cost of liquid nitrogen procured from private sources is in the range of `6 to `10 per litre. Under the scheme, LN storage, transport and distribution system has been strengthened and streamlined through establishment of semen banks and silos at strategic locations and providing vehicles for distribution of LN up to AI centres.

3.3.7Evaluationofsemenstations:

3.3.7.1 In order to attain qualitative and quantitative improvement in semen production, Central Monitoring Unit (CMU) was constituted on 20.5.2004 by the Department for evaluation of semen stations once in two years. The inspection of semen stations is currently going on.

3.3.8Development of MinimumStandard Protocol (MSP) forSemenProduction

3.3.8.1 In order to produce frozen semen of uniform quality, a Minimum Standard Protocol (MSP) for semen production was developed in consultation with experts from BAIF, NDDB, NDRI (Karnal) and CFSPTI and the same was made effective from 20th May, 2004.

3.3.9ISO Certification of semenstations

3.3.9.1 34 Semen stations located at Ooty (TCMPF), Bidaj (NDDB), ABC Saloon (NDDB),

Amul Research & Development Association Anand (Amul Dairy), Jagudan (Mehsana Dairy), Urulikanchan Pune (BAIF), Hissar, Gurgoan, Jagadhari (HLDB) Haringhata, Salboni, Beldanga (West Bengal), Shyampur (Uttranchal), Nabha, Ropar (Punjab), Bhattain (Punjab Milk Fed), Nandani (KMF), SSCC Hessarghatta, SLBTC Hessarghatta, Dharwad (Karnataka) CFSP&TI Hessarghatta (GOI Karnataka), Mattupatty, Dhoni, Kulathupuzha (Kerala), Vizag, Nandyal, Karimnagar, Banwasi (Andhra Pradesh), Bassi (Rajasthan), Bhadbhada (Madhya Pradesh), Cuttack (Orissa), Palampur (Himachal Pradesh) and Chitale Bhilwadi (Private) are ISO certified. 7 Semen station located at Mattupatty, Dhoni, Kulathupuzha (Kerala), Haringhata (West Bengal), Salboni, Beldanga (West Bengal) and Bhadbhada (Madhya Pradesh) are also HACCP certified semen stations.

3.3.10Trainingandcapacitybuilding

3.3.10.1 The most important reasons for low conception rate before inception of NPCBB was lack of access to good training facilities and ill-trained government AI workers. Under NPCBB, 44,000 existing AI workers and 1800 professionals have been trained. This has led to improvement in quality of breeding services.

3.3.11Developmentandconservationof recognised indigenousbreeds:

3.3.11.1 Recognised indigenous breeds are specially known for qualities of heat tolerance, resistance to diseases and ability to thrive under extreme nutritional stress. Considering the importance of recognized indigenous breeds in the National economy, Government has undertaken the following steps for their development and conservation:

Semen Production in the country has increased from 22 million straws (1999-2000) to 50.52 million straws (2009-2010) and the number of inseminations has increased from 20 million to 44 million. As per the impact analysis report submitted by NABARD, overall consumption rate has increased from 20 % to 35 %

20 Chapter 3


3.3.11.2 National Project for Cattle and Buffalo Breeding has focus on development and conservation of indigenous breeds. The cattle and buffalo genetic resources of India are represented by 30 indigenous breeds of cattle including Rathi, Gir, Kankrej, Tharparkar, Sahiwal, Deoni, Hallikar, Khillar Hariana etc. and 10 breeds of buffaloes including Murrah, Jaffarabadi, Mehsani, Surti etc. Indigenous animals are sturdy, endowed with quality of heat tolerance, resistance to diseases and have ability to thrive under extreme nutritional stress. Global warming is likely to increase incidences of animal diseases

particularly viral and protozoan diseases in crossbred animals. Therefore, there is a need to take programmes for development and conservation of indigenous breeds.

3.3.11.3 Funds have been released to the participating States for procurement of quality bulls for natural service, initiating bull production programmes, strengthening of bull mother farms and establishment of ONBS farms for important indigenous breeds (Bhadawari, Sahiwal, Gir, Deoni, Kankrej, Hariana, Kenkatha, Hallikar, Khillar, etc.) for their further development.

= The project will induct and provide self-employment to about 32,000 private AI practitioners.

= Large scale replacement (20 million) of low producing nondescript cattle and buffaloes by improved animals

= About 80,000 pedigreed bulls for natural service are proposed to be inducted in the areas out of the reach of AI.

= Increased rural self-employment opportunities and increased farm income. The benefits of the project will flow directly to the poor among the rural household.

= A modern AI network and delivery of AI services at farmers’ doorstep.

= Establishment of Central Monitoring Cell for certification of semen, semen stations and AI bulls.

= Conservation and development of several indigenous cattle and buffalo breeds.

3.4 FeedandFodderDevelopment

3.4.1 Adequate availability of feed and fodder to livestock is vital for increasing the productivity and also for sustaining the ongoing genetic improvement initiatives. Optimum and efficient utilization of feed and fodder resources holds key for successful commercial livestock production.

SilagemakingunitatmilkproducerfarminMysore

3.4.2 The area cultivated under fodder is about 4.6% of the total cultivable area. Exclusive pastures and grasslands are widespread and are grazed by the domestic animals. Total area under permanent pastures and grasslands is about 12.4 million hectares (NABCONS). An area of 15.6 million ha is classified as wasteland and is also available for grazing. However majority of these lands have either been degraded or encroached upon restricting their availability for livestock grazing.

3.4.3 Diverse use of agriculture crop residues, frequent droughts and floods has widened the gap between demand and

scheme. Kits are allotted to the states for distribution among the farmers, free of cost. During the year 2010-11, a total of 11.79 lakh fodder seed Minikits of legume and non-legume variety were allotted against the target of 7.5 lakh.

3.7 DevelopmentofPoultry

3.7.1 Poultry Development has been a household activity in India. However, scientific poultry production in India gained momentum during the last four decades due to concerted efforts of the Government of India through policies, institution and focused research and the initiatives taken by the private sector. The poultry sector has emerged from entirely unorganized farming practice to commercial production system with State-of-the-art technological interventions. Poultry sector, besides providing direct or indirect employment to people, is also a potent tool for subsidiary income generation for many landless and marginal farmers. It also provides nutritional security especially to the rural poor.

3.8 Central Poultry DevelopmentOrganizations

3.8.1 The CPDOs located at four regions viz. Chandigarh, Bhubaneswar, Mumbai and Bangaluru have been playing a pivotal role in the implementation of the policies of the Government with respect to poultry. The mandate of these organizations has specially been reoriented to focus on improved indigenous birds, which lay on an average 180-200 eggs per annum and have vastly improved Feed Conversion ratio in terms of feed consumption and weight gain. In these CPDOs, training is also imparted to the farmers to upgrade their technical skills. Besides, CPDO, Bangaluru is also imparting trainers’ training to in-service personnel

India, with poultry population of 489 million (as per Livestock Census 2003) and egg production of 55.6 billion number in 2008-09, ranks among top three countries in egg production. Export of poultry & poultry products increased

from nearly `11 crore in 1993-94 to

about `422 crore in 2008-09.

from within the country as well as overseas. Diversification with species other than chicken like ducks, turkey, guinea fowl, Japanese quail and emu is also undertaken. The Central Poultry Performance Testing Center (CPPTC), located at Gurgaon is entrusted with responsibility of testing the performance of layer and broiler varieties. This Center gives valuable information relating to different genetic stock available in the country.

3.9. PoultryVentureCapitalFund

3.9.1 The main objective of the scheme is to encourage entrepreneurship skills of individuals in various poultry activities. Under this, various poultry activities like establishing poultry breeding farms with low input technology birds (also for ducks/ turkey/guinea fowl /Japanese quail/emu etc), feed go-down, feel mill, feed analytical laboratories, marketing of poultry products (specialized transport vehicles, cool room storage facilities and retention sheds for birds etc), egg grading, packing and storage for export capacity, central grower units etc. have been funded as interest free loan.

(a) AssistancetoStatePoultryFarms

3.10.2 It aims at strengthening existing State poultry farms so as to enable them to provide inputs, mainly in terms of providing improved stocks suitable for rural backyard rearing.

(b) Rural Backyard PoultryDevelopment

3.10.3 This component is expected to cover beneficiaries from Below Poverty Line to mainly enable them to gain supplementary income and nutritional support. During 2010-11 more than `31crore has been released to 15 States (as on 31st December 2010) and it has more than 1.4 lakh BPL families as beneficiaries.

(c) PoultryEstates

3.10.4 Entrepreneurship skills are to be improved through exploratory pilot component of ‘Poultry Estates’ wherein two estates are proposed for establishment at this stage. It is meant primarily for educated, unemployed youth and small farmers with some margin money for making a profitable venture out of various poultry related activities in a scientific and bio-secure cluster approach. Two poultry estates have been selected on pilot basis, in Sikkim for broiler farming and in Orissa for layer farming. In the first stage operations will commence after infrastructure and input services are set-up, beneficiaries are selected and trained. Provisions for publicity and escorting services are accordingly made.

An amount of ̀ 1.92 crore has been released to NABARD against a budget allocation of `27.70 crore (till 31st December 2010)

3.15 Establishment /ModernizationofRuralSlaughterHouses

3.15.1 The slaughterhouses are aimed to be established/modernized in rural areas and smaller towns to produce wholesome and hygienic meat for supplying to the cities/towns. This way, the loss in the meat sector due to transportation of live animals, shrinkage of meat and environmental pollution in the cities will be prevented. The employment opportunities for further use of fresh hides and skins in the tanneries in vicinity of the slaughterhouses will boost production of quality leather. This scheme is being implemented in three states: Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Meghalaya, initially on pilot basis. The main objectives of the scheme are:

= Establish a new system for slaughter of livestock,

= Establish slaughterhouses, which can be operated by private entrepreneurs in rural and semi-urban areas with population of less than 50,000,

27Chapter 3


= Encourage value addition to products in rural areas so that livestock owners get better income with proper utilization of by-products,

= Ensure hygiene in meat production from slaughterhouses to consumers’ table by establishing network of cold chains and distribution on commercial basis.

3.15.2 The scheme is implementd by NABARD with a budget allocation for the financial year 2010-11 of ̀ 10.70 crore against which `20.33 lakh was released for the establishment of a poultry slaughterhouse at Andhra Pradesh till 31st Dec. 2010. The scheme envisages organization of farmer training and publicity through NABARD.

3.18 LivestockHealth

3.18.1 With the improvement in the quality of livestock through launching of extensive cross breeding programmes, the susceptibility of these livestock to various diseases including exotic diseases has increased. In order to reduce morbidity and mortality, efforts are being made by the State/Union Territory Governments to provide better health care through Polyclinics/Veterinary Hospitals/Dispensaries/First-Aid Centers including Mobile Veterinary Dispensaries. The State-wise details of Veterinary Institutions are given at Annexure – XI. In order to provide referral services over and above the existing disease diagnostic laboratories in the States, one Central and five Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratories are also functioning.

Further, for control of major livestock and poultry diseases by way of prophylactic vaccination, the required quantity of vaccines are produced in the country at

29 veterinary vaccine production units. Of these, 21 are in the public sector and 7 in private sector.

3.17.2 While efforts are made to ensure better livestock health in the country, efforts are also made to prevent ingress of diseases from outside the country, and to maintain standards of veterinary drugs and formulations. At present, the Drugs Controller of India regulates veterinary drugs and biologicals in consultation with this Department. The following schemes are implemented for Livestock Health.

3.19 DirectorateofAnimalHealth

(a) AnimalQuarantineandCertificationService

3.19.1 The objective of this service is to prevent ingress of livestock diseases into India by regulating the import of livestock and livestock related products, and providing export certification of International Standards for livestock and livestock products which are exported from India. There are six quarantine stations in the country out of which four located at New Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai and Kolkata are operating smoothly from their own premises, which include a small laboratory. The other two Animal Quarantine Stations at Hyderabad and Bangalore are currently operating from the airport offices where, the import of Grand Parent (GP) stock of poultry, pets, laboratory animals and livestock products has already commenced. The required land for establishment of Quarantine Stations at Hyderabad and Bangalore has already been acquired. The scheme helped to prevent the entry of exotic diseases like Mad-cow disease (BSE), African swine fever and contagious equine metritis. Details of the activities of the Animal Quarantine and Certification Service Stations are given at Annexure-XII.

A network of 27,562 Polyclinics/Hospitals/Dispensaries and 25,195 Veterinary aid Centers (including Stockmen Centers/Mobile Dispensaries), supported by about 250 Disease Diagnostic Laboratories, are functioning in the States and Union Territories for quick and reliable diagnosis of livestock diseases.

30 Chapter 3


(c) National Project on RinderpestEradication(NPRE)

3.20.6 Rinderpest is a highly infectious viral disease (Morbilli virus infection) in cloven-hoofed animals inflicting heavy mortality in bovine population as well as in small ruminants. Control efforts were started as far back as 1871 when Cattle Plague Commission was appointed. The present National Project on Rinderpest Eradication (NPRE) programme is being implemented in all the States and Union Territories with 100 % Central assistance.

3.20.7 The main objective of the scheme is to strengthen the veterinary services to maintain required vigil to sustain the country’s freedom from Rinderpest & CBPP infection secured in May 2006 and May 2007 respectively.

3.20.8 Physical surveillance through village, stock route & institutional searches to detect any re-occurrence of Rinderpest and Contagious Bovine Pleuro-pneumonia (CBPP) is being undertaken throughout the country to maintain India’s freedom status from these diseases. This physical surveillance is done with the help of the staff of Animal Husbandry Department of the states & Union territories to maintain the freedom status.

3.20.9 3,27,088 villages and 1,42,456 stock routes were searched as part of the surveillance programme during 2009-10. 1,07,422 day books of veterinary hospitals/dispensaries were also inspected.

(d) Foot & Mouth Disease ControlProgramme(FMD-CP)

3.20.10 At the inception of the scheme, it was implemented in 54 specified districts to control the Foot and Mouth Disease with 100 % funding, which includes the cost

important diseases of livestock and poultry by way of immunization, strengthening of existing State Veterinary Biological Production Units, strengthening of existing Disease Diagnostic Laboratories and in-service training to Veterinarians and Para-veterinarians. Under this programme, during 2009-10 about 282.25 million vaccinations were carried out against the target of 180 million. During 2010-11, about 240 million vaccinations are expected to be carried out against the target of 180 million. Besides this, the programme envisages collection of information on the incidence of various livestock and poultry diseases from States and Union Territories and compiling the same for the whole country. The information compiled at the headquarters are notified to World Animal Health Organization (OIE) on every six monthly basis. Incidence of diseases of Livestock and Poultry in India during the year 2009 is at Annexure-XIII.

(b) ProfessionalEfficiencyDevelopment(PED)

3.20.4 The objective is to regulate veterinary practices and to maintain the register of the veterinary practitioners. The programme envisages establishment of Veterinary Council of India at Centre and State Veterinary Councils at State level in those States/Union Territories which have adopted the Indian Veterinary Council Act, 1984. The Act has been extended to all the states and Union Territories except Jammu and Kashmir.

3.20.5 Veterinary Council of India is imparting training on latest technical knowledge by way of Continuing Veterinary Education (CVE). During 2009-10, against the target of 20 batches (each batch comprising of 20 Veterinarians), 22 batches of Veterinarians were trained under CVE programme.

The country was declared free from Rinderpest on 25.05.2006 and from Contagious Bovine Pleuro-pneumonia on 25.05.2007.

31Chapter 3


of vaccine and supporting expenses. The programme has shown the desired results in terms of reduction in the incidence of disease compared to other areas. Hence it has been extended to additional 167 districts from August, 2010. Thus, this programme now covers all the districts in the States/UTs of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat, Punjab, Haryana, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu, Delhi, Lakshadweep, Puducherry and 16 districts in Uttar Pradesh. The State Governments are providing manpower and other infrastructure and logistic support.

3.20.11 Against the target of 350 lakh vaccination and testing of 21,600 sera samples during 2009-10, 358.3 lakh vaccinations were carried out and 21,880 numbers sera samples collected/ tested. About 320 lakh vaccinations have been carried out up to 31st December, 2010 in the current financial year.

(e) EstablishmentandStrengtheningof Existing Veterinary HospitalsandDispensaries

3.21.12 There are only 8,732 veterinary hospitals/ polyclinics and 18, 830 veterinary dispensaries in the country. Besides being highly inadequate in number, these institutions lack basic infrastructure in terms of buildings and equipment. In order to help the states to set up infrastructure for new

veterinary hospitals and dispensaries and to strengthen/equip the existing ones, the department is providing funds on 75:25 (Centre: State) sharing basis except NE States, where the grants are provided on 90:10 basis.

3.20.13 During 2010-11 against the BE of `68.90 crore, a sum of `68.62 crore has been released under this component (till 31st December, 2010). About 350 Hospitals and 500 Dispensaries are targeted to be strengthened/established by providing funds during 2010-11.

(f) NationalControlProgrammeonBrucellosis(NCPB)

3.20.14 Brucellosis, an economically important zoonotic disease has become endemic in most parts of the country. It causes abortions and infertility in animals. Prevention of abortions will add new calves to the animal population leading to enhanced milk production. One time vaccination costing only about ` 20/- per calf gives life-long immunity. This new component has started in 2010 and 100% central assistance is provided to States/UTs for mass vaccination in areas where incidence of the disease is high.

3.20.15 During 2010-11 against BE of `4.70 crore, a sum of `3.80 crore has been released to the States (till 31st December, 2010) to undertake various activities under this component.

(g) National Control ProgrammeofPestedesPetitsRuminants(NCPPPR)

3.20.16 Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) is a viral disease characterized

32 Chapter 3


by high fever, inflammation of the gastro-intestinal tract leading to necrosis and ulceration of the mucous membrane and diarrhoea. The PPR infection causes huge losses in the rural economy, both in terms of morbidity and mortality in sheep and goats. The PPR Control Programme involving intensive vaccination of susceptible animals has been started in 2010 on 100% Central assistance basis. The programme involves vaccinating all goats & sheep and three subsequent generations. The first phase covers the States of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Goa and UTs of Lakshadweep, Daman & Diu, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Andaman & Nicobar Islands and Puducherry. The second phase will be taken up in the 12th Plan, by the end of which the disease is expected to be fully controlled.

3.20.17 During 2010-11 against BE of `40.00 crore, a sum of `27.32 crore (till 31st December, 2010) has been released under this component. About 400 lakh vaccinations are expected to be carried out during 2010-11.

(h) NationalAnimalDiseaseReportingSystem(NADRS)

3.20.18 The main objective of this component is to establish computerized system of animal disease reporting linking each block, district and State Headquarters to the Central Disease Reporting and Monitoring Unit in New Delhi by replacing the present system of disease reporting which relies on postal means of communication and entails lot of delay. As a

result of this initiative, it will be feasible to take timely action for control and containment of any disease outbreak, preventing economic losses to livestock owners and the Country. All activities relating to development of software and installation of hardware will be carried out by NIC, making full use of the infrastructure and databases already available in the States. The existing State Govt. staff posted at Block/District and State levels will be trained by NIC for proper data recording, reporting, report preparation and data analysis etc.

3.20.19 During 2010-11, against BE of `87.50 crore, a sum of `83.37 crore has been released (till 31st December, 2010) to NIC. About 7000 nodes are expected to be set up during the current financial year up to block level.

3.21 AvianInfluenza:Preparedness,ControlandContainment

other independent agencies such as National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), Anand, DMI, IASRI and Indian Statistical Institute are the members of the Committee. Director General, Central Statistics Office, M/o Statistics & Programme Implementation is the chairman of the Committee. States/UTs compile season-wise as well as annual estimates of MLP. Season-wise and annual estimates of MLP are discussed in the meeting of the TCD. Once the estimates are finalized in the meeting the annual estimates are uploaded at the Website of the Department. These estimates are also published in the biennial publication “Basic Animal Husbandry Statistics” of the Department. The latest issue of the publication is for the year 2008.

3.22.3 Refresher training Course in ISS methodologies had started during 2005-06. Since then, training has been held in all the States and UTs except Jammu & Kashmir, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Puducherry. The response was very good and States have sent their feedback that such training should be repeated once at least in three years period. The Department conducted an All India Training programme on ISS methodology for Master trainers in June 2010.

3.22.4 A Committee had been constituted under the Chairmanship of Animal Husbandry Commissioner of the Department to review the methodology of data collection under ‘Integrated Sample Survey’ in January, 2009. In addition to exploring the possibility of revising the methodology for estimation of Major Livestock Products and schedule for data collection, the committee is also considering inclusion of more items viz. estimates of consumption of feed & fodder and estimation of Hide and Skin under

the purview of the Scheme. Based on the recommendation of the Committee, a Specialized Group on ‘Revision of Methodology of Data Collection on Meat, Hide and Skin’ has been constituted. Two meetings of the group have been held and actions are being taken on the suggestions made in the meeting. On the recommendation of the Group, a Sub-group has been constituted for examining the existing sampling design of Integrated Sample Survey. Important decisions taken during the meetings for the revision of methodology of estimation of Major Livestock Products and the revised inquiry schedules of Integrated Sample Survey have been circulated to all the State Animal Husbandry Departments for their comments. The comments received from the States are being examined. The recommendations of the Committee are likely to be finalized by June 2011.

3.23 LivestockCensus

3.23.1 The first Livestock Census was conducted during 1919-1920 and since then it is being conducted quinquennially by all States/UTs in India. The 18th Livestock Census was conducted with 15/10/2007 as the date of reference. The Census is conducted as a 100% Centrally Sponsored Scheme. Livestock Census is the only source, which gives detailed information on all species of livestock and poultry, animal driven agricultural implements & machinery, and fishery statistics.

3.23.2 In the 18th Livestock Census (2007), for the very first time digital data up to the household level has been processed at the central level through National Informatics Centre. Breed-wise data has also been collected for the first time. The All India Report (Provisional Results) on the 18th

36 Chapter 3


Livestock census, processed by the National Informatics Centre from the digital data on village level totals, is available on the official website of the Department (www.dahd.nic.in). The All India Report (Final results), derived from digital household level data is expected to be ready by the end of March 2011.

3.23.3 Out of budgetary allocation of `18.50 crore for 2010-11, an amount of `8.04 crore has been released till 31.12.2010 to the States/UTs for the conduct of 18th livestock census. In addition to this an amount of `26.70 lakh has been released to NIC for meeting the expenses on computerization.

3.24 LivestockInsurance

3.24.1 For promotion of the livestock sector, it is important that along with providing more effective measures for disease control and improvement of genetic quality of animals, a mechanism of assured protection to the farmers and cattle rearers is required against eventual losses of such animals. In this direction, the Government of India introduced a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) on Livestock Insurance on a pilot basis during 2005-06 & 2006-07 in 100 selected districts. The scheme continued during 2007-08 also. A full fledged scheme on

Livestock Insurance was implemented in 2008-09. The scheme covers 300 selected districts from 10.12.2009.

3.24.2 This CSS being implemented in all the states has twin objectives: providing protection mechanism to the farmers & cattle rearers against any eventual loss of their animals due to death; and to demonstrate the benefit of the insurance of livestock. The scheme benefits the farmers (large/small/ marginal) and cattle rearers having indigenous/crossbred milch cattle and buffaloes. Benefit of subsidy is to be restricted to two animals per beneficiary per household. The funds under the scheme are being utilized for payment of premium subsidy, honorarium to the Veterinary Practitioner and publicity campaign for creation of awareness. 50% of the premium of insurance is paid by the beneficiary and the rest is paid by the Government of India.

3.24.3 The list of districts covered under this scheme is at Annexure-XIV. An amount of `20.12 crore has been released to States and 4.94 lakh animals have been insured during 2010-11 up to December, 2010.

DAIRY DEVELOPMENT

39Chapter 4


4.1 The Indian Dairy sector acquired substantial growth momentum from 9th Plan onwards, achieving an annual output of 112.54 million tonnes of milk during 2009-10. This has not only placed the country on top in the world, but also represents sustained growth in the availability of milk and milk products for the growing population. Dairying has become an important secondary source of income for millions of rural families and has assumed the most important role in providing employment and income generating opportunities. The per capita availability of the milk reached at a level of 263 grams per day in the year 2009-10, but it is still lower than the world average of 284 grams per day. Government of India is making efforts to increase the productivity of milch animals and thus increase the per capita availability of milk. Milk production and marketing system in India is unique. Most of the milk is produced by small, marginal farmers and landless labourers. About 14.08 million farmers have been brought under the ambit of 1,35,439 village level dairy corporative societies.

4.2 The efforts of the Department in the dairy sector are concentrated on promotion of dairy activities mainly in non-operation flood areas with emphasis on building up cooperative infrastructure, revitalization of sick dairy cooperative federations and creation of infrastructure in the States for production of quality milk and milk products. The Department is implementing four schemes in the dairy sector during 11th Plan. The National Dairy Development

Board (NDDB) continues its activities for the overall development of Dairy Sector in Operation Flood areas.

4.3 Intensive Dairy Development Programme (IDDP)

4.3.1 The scheme ‘Integrated Dairy Development Programme (IDDP) in Non-Operation Flood, Hilly and Backward Areas’ was launched in 1993-94 on 100% grant-in-aid basis. The main objectives of the scheme are as under:

= Development of milch cattle

= Increasing milk production by providing technical input services

= Procurement, processing and marketing of milk in a cost effective manner

= Ensure remunerative prices to the milk producers

= Generate additional employment opportunities

= Improve social, nutritional and economic status of residents of comparatively more disadvantaged areas.

4.3.2 The scheme was modified in March, 2005 and was named as ‘Intensive Dairy Development Programme (IDDP)’. The scheme is presently being implemented in hilly and backward areas and also in districts, which received less than ` 50.00 lakh for dairy development activities under Operation Flood programme.

4.3.3 The funds under the revised scheme are released directly to the implementing agencies (State Milk Federations/Unions) and the projects are implemented by the State Milk Federations/Unions in view of their expertise and professionalism. There is no discrimination of gender and class under the scheme.

4.3.4 Since the inception of the scheme, 90 projects have been approved. Out of these, 50 projects are under implementation and 40 projects have been completed. 210 districts were covered in 27 States and a UT with a total outlay of `511.12 crore till 31st December 2010, including ‘Special Livestock Sector and Fisheries Package for the Suicide Prone Districts in the States of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala. These projects have benefited about 19.51 lakh farmers in 28,315 villages in various States procuring over 21.05 lakh kgs of milk per day and marketing milk of about 18.05 lakh litres per day. Milk chilling capacity of 21.77 lakh litres per day and processing capacity of 26.35 lakh litres per day has been created under this scheme.

Evolution of IDDP scheme has been initiated by the Department. Technical proposals from various evaluating agencies have been invited, which are being examined in the Department for the finalization of evaluating agency.

4.4 Strengthening Infrastructure for Quality & Clean Milk Production

4.4.1 With the increase in milk production, quality standards prevalent today in milk production, milk collection and processing

needs improvement. The microbiological quality of milk is poor due to lack of knowledge about clean milk production and lack of post milking chilling facilities in the villages. To compete in international market for export of milk and milk products, it has become necessary to produce the dairy products of international standards.

4.4.2 The evaluation & impact study of “Strengthening Infrastructure for Quality & Clean Milk Production (CMP)” scheme have been conducted by an independent evaluating agency. Based on its suggestions, modifications have been proposed by the Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC) on 18th November 2010, for extending the scope of the scheme and raising the financial limits for funding of components, besides including new components under the scheme.

4.4.3 Since inception, the Department has approved 151 projects spread over 21 States and one UT at a total cost of `258.43 crore with a Central share of `211.24 crore till 31.12.2010. An amount of `15.12 crore has been released during the year 2010-11 (till 31st December 2010) for implementation of approved projects. 5.74 lakh farmer members have been trained and 1,835 Bulk Milk Coolers (BMCs) with a total chilling

41Chapter 4


capacity of 35.75 lakh litres have been installed and 1,253 existing laboratories have been strengthened.

4.5 AssistancetoCooperatives

4.5.1 This scheme started during 1999-2000, aims at revitalizing the sick dairy cooperative unions at the district level and cooperative federations at the State level. The rehabilitation plan is prepared by National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in consultation with the concerned State Dairy Federation/District Milk Union. Each rehabilitation plan is to be implemented within a period of 7 years from the date of its approval.

4.5.2 Since inception, the Department has approved 37 rehabilitation proposals of Milk Unions so far in Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Haryana, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, Maharashtra, Assam, Nagaland, Punjab, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu at a total outlay of `271.00 crore and with a central share of `135.69 crore till 31st December, 2010. The scheme is being implemented on 50:50 sharing basis between Govt. of India and the concerned State Governments. Since inception, an amount of `106.17 crore has been released under the scheme till 31st December, 2010. Out of 37 Milk Unions, 17 have turned around and earned profit as on 31.03.2009.

4.6 Dairy Venture Capital Fund

4.6.1 To bring about structural changes in the unorganized sector, measures like milk processing at village level, marketing of pasteurized milk in a cost effective manner, quality up-gradation and up-gradation of traditional technology to handle commercial scale using modern equipments and management skills, a central sector scheme namely, ‘Dairy Venture Capital Fund’ is being implemented during 11th Five Year Plan with an outlay of ` 250.00 crore during XIth plan after separating the Poultry component of erstwhile ‘Dairy/Poultry Venture Capital Fund’ scheme launched in 2004-05. Under this scheme, assistance is provided to the rural/urban beneficiaries under a schematic proposal through bankable projects. Eligible beneficiaries, under the scheme, include agricultural farmers/individual entrepreneurs and groups of all sections of unorganized as well as organized sector including cooperatives and NGOs, from any part of the country. The scheme has been revised and renamed as “Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme” with effect from 1st September, 2010.

4.6.2 The scheme is being implemented through NABARD and funds amounting to `144.99 crore were released to NABARD till 31st August, 2010, including `12.00 crore released during 2010-11. NABARD has sanctioned 18,184 Dairy Units and released `174.39 crore till 31st August, 2010.

4.6.3 Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme

4.6.3.1 Dairy Venture Capital Fund was modified on the basis of an EFC incorporating the recommendations

42 Chapter 4


made by independent evaluating agency, suggestions received from beneficiaries and banks. The scheme has been renamed as ‘Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme’ (DEDS) with effect from 1st September, 2010 and the earlier scheme Dairy Venture capital fund has been discontinued. The major changes made in the new scheme (DEDS) are:

4.7 Measures to Augment Milk availability

4.7.1 Export of milk powders (including skimmed milk powder, whole milk powder,

dairy whitener and infant milk foods), Casein and Casein products has been prohibited with effect from 18.2.2011 to augment the availability of liquid milk and stabilize the prices of milk and milk products

4.8 Post Operation Flood andConsolidation of CooperativeMovement – by NDDB

4.8.1 The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) was set up in 1965 to promote, plan and organise programmes for the development of dairy and other agriculture based and allied industries along cooperative lines, and also to provide assistance in the implementation of such programmes. In 1987, the Parliament declared NDDB as a statutory body corporate and an institution of national importance under the NDDB Act.

4.8.2 Strengtheningthecooperatives

4.8.2.1 During 2010-11, NDDB continued to provide technical and financial support to dairy cooperatives in the areas of strengthening cooperative business, productivity enhancement, quality assurance, building dairy infrastructure and for creation of a national information network. Up to 31st December 2010, plans of about 100 dairy cooperatives, with a total outlay of `2100 crore had been approved by NDDB under the Perspective Plan. Of this, NDDB’s financial assistance was to the tune of `1725 crore.

4.8.3 Animal Breeding

4.8.3.1 Various progeny testing programmes have been initiated for the production of high genetic merit bulls of Holstein Friesian

43Chapter 4


(HF) and crossbred HF cattle as well as Mehsana and Murrah buffaloes to meet the need of quality semen for Artificial insemination programmes. NDDB along with the Tamil Nadu Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation initiated a progeny testing programme for the production of cross bred Jersey cattle bulls.

4.8.3.2 Conservation and development of select indigenous breeds in their native tracts continued. These include the Rathi breed of cattle in Bikaner and Sri Ganganagar districts of Rajasthan and Kankrej breed of cattle in Banaskantha and Patan districts of Gujarat. A milk recording programme for identifying elite animals producing bulls from the bull mothers is an integral part of the project. The bulls thus produced were distributed to various institutions for further service.

4.8.3.3 In addition, efforts to preserve indigenous breeds of cattle and buffaloes by in vitro methods, through frozen embryos and semen doses, continued in buffalo breeds like Jaffarabadi, Murrah, Pandharpuri and

Toda, and in cattle breeds like Gir, Hariana, Kankrej, Khillar, Rathi, Red Sindhi, Sahiwal and Tharparkar.

4.8.3.4 The eight dairy cooperative semen production stations in the country produced 118 lakh doses of frozen semen (provisional). NDDB- managed semen stations- Sabarmati Ashram Gaushala, Bidaj and Animal Breeding Centre, Salon – together produced about 106 lakh does of frozen semen during the year.

4.8.4 Animal Nutrition & FeedTechnology

4.8.4.1 Promotion of use of bypass protein supplement was continued during the year with three more bypass protein plants, each with 50 tonnes per day capacity, were set up in Rajasthan, Punjab and Madhya Pradesh during the year.

4.8.4.2 Mineral mapping programmes were completed for Madhya Pradesh. Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulphur, copper, zinc and cobalt were found to be deficient in the ration of dairy animals. Based on these results, an area specific mineral mixtures formulation was developed for the state and

is being produced at a mineral mixture plant set up and 18 mineral mixture plants were set up for production of area-specific mineral mixtures.

4.8.4.3 Seeds of high yielding varieties of various fodder crops obtained from Indian Council of Agricultural Research were supplied to Dairy cooperative unions for seed multiplication. They in turn, produced and supplied roughly 4,500 tonnes of certified fodder seeds of improved genetics of maize, sorghum, pearl millet, oats, guar, cowpea, berseem and Lucerne. Demonstration and development of Silage making, by preserving green fodder in surface silo system, projects on straw enrichment and densification in the form of blocks and pellets were taken up.

4.8.5 Animal Health

4.8.5.1 The R& D Laboratory of NDDB in Hyderabad continued research on animal diseases as well as provided services to organized farms for animal diseases diagnosis and for maintaining bio-security measures. During the year, the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) approved real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique developed in-house, has been extensively used for screening frozen semen of cattle and buffaloes against infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus. The R&D laboratory also undertook other serological diagnosis. Bovine gamma interferon assay for early diagnosis of tuberculosis and Johne’s disease has been standardized.

4.8.5.2 Another important mandate of this laboratory is to develop improved,

safe and efficacious vaccines for combating various animal diseases, Baculovirus expressing foot and mouth disease (FMD) Virus Like Particles (VLPs) have been developed by the laboratory and this novel FMD vaccine has been tested in cattle with promising results. Recombinant vaccines for other animal diseases viz. enterotoxaemia in sheep and canine parvovirus (CPV) infection in dogs have also been developed, which are presently being tested.

4.8.6 Quality Assurance

4.8.6.1 Dairy cooperatives and milk producers institutions (MPIs) were assisted in ensuring the quality of packed milk and milk products by adopting a technology driven, innovative, economically viable and environmental friendly approach covering the entire chain from the producer to the consumer. Cooperative dairy plants were also assisted in implementing quality and food safety management systems. Till date 81 dairy plants have obtained ISO 9001, 69 plants ISO 22000/HACCP and 11 plants ISO 14000 certification.

4.8.7 Milk Procurement and Marketing

4.8.7.1 During April to December 2010, the average milk procurement by dairy cooperatives was more than 257 lakh kgs per day (provisional) as compared to 249 lakh kgs per day during the same period in the previous year, thus registering an increase of 3.2 %. The cooperatives marketed an average of around 219 lakh litres of milk per day (provisional) as against 210 lakh litres per day, registering a rise of about 4.3 % over the corresponding period in the previous year.

45Chapter 4


4.8.8 New Generation Cooperatives(NGC)initiatives

4.8.8.1 Milk Producer Institutions (MPIs) were promoted in areas where cooperatives have little or no presence. By the end of December 2010, about 2, 15,000 producer were organized into around 9,200 milk pooling points in nine States namely, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Jammu & Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Collectively, they procure an average of 11, 67,000 kgs of milk per day with a peak procurement of 17,13,000 kgs.

grow at 4% with an annual incremental output of 5 million tonnes in the next 15 years. Districts will be categorized into 324 high potential districts for intensive development and 282 low potential districts for further expansion of the sector. Under this plan the Government is contemplating to enhance milk production in major milk producing areas, strengthen and expand infrastructure to produce, process and market milk through the existing and new institutional structures. The plan envisages breed improvement through Artificial Insemination (AI) and through natural service, setting up plants to augment cattle feed, by -pass protein and mineral mixture and expanding/strengthening milk processing infrastructure. The plan also proposes to bring 65% of the surplus milk produced under organized sector for procurement as against the present 30%. The cooperative and private sector would continue to have 50:50 share.

4.9.2 The Government is exploring World Bank assistance to bring down the cost to the Government and also to provide loans at a concessional rate.

4.9.3 NDDB would be drawing up the Detailed Project Report in consultation with the States. The Project Report will be circulated for obtaining approval from various departments of Government of India like the Department of AHD&F, Planning Commission, Department of Economic Affairs and also the Board of Directors of World Bank. The project is expected to be launched during 2011-12.

4.9.4 Planning Commission has conveyed approval for implementing the Phase-I of NDP (6 years from 2011-12 to 2016-17) with

New Generation Cooperatives

4.9 NationalDairyPlan

4.9.1 National Dairy Plan is a strategic plan prepared by NDDB with an estimated outlay of `17,371 crore to achieve a target of 180 million tonnes of milk production annually by 2021-22. Milk production is expected to

persons viz., the beneficiary, local veterinarian and a representative of the District Administration or bank may purchase the animals. Beneficiary will seek out an animal for purchase, and after the approval of the team, the animal will be tagged and vaccinated. The bank will pay the purchase price directly to the seller. Each identified beneficiary can buy a second animal with in an interval of six to seven months. This ensures continuous milk production and income generation. Induction of cattle in excess of 1,000 per district per year by utilizing savings is also allowed. Beneficiary may use the entire subsidy amount of `30,000/- for purchase of two milch animals, without making any investment on the animal shed, if he/she already has the required shed.

(b) Calf rearing programme: Induction of 1,000 high yielding milch animals per district per year for three years will also result in induction of 500 female calves per district in each of these years. Under this scheme 50% subsidy is given on the rearing cost of the calf animals for a period of one year. The cost of rearing is assessed at `40/-per animal per day. 50% subsidy will be borne by the Government of India.

SPECIAL LIVESTOCK SECTOR And FISHERIES PACKAGE FOR THE SUICIdE PROnE dISTRICTS In THE STATES OF AndHRA PRAdESH, MAHARASHTRA, KARnATAKA And KERALA

10.1 A number of districts in the States of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala have seen higher incidence of suicide by farmers due to economic distress. There are 31 such identified districts (16 in Andhra Pradesh, 6 in Maharashtra, 6 in Karnataka and 3 in Kerala). In order to provide economic relief to the farming population in these districts, the Department is implementing a ‘Special Livestock Sector and Fisheries Package for the Suicide Prone Districts in the States of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala’, with the following components:

(a) Induction of high yielding milch animals: It has been decided to induct 1000 high yielding milch animals per district per year so that small and marginal farmers may have an alternate source of income. For this, the farmers will be provided subsidy to the extent of 50% of the cost of purchase of animals, with balance coming through loan from banks, for which NABARD will provide adequate refinance. The period for implementation of the non-credit component of the Package has been extended upto 30th September 2011. The average cost of a high yielding milch animal is `30,000 (including shed). It is suggested that a team of three

Chapter 10

78 Chapter 10


(c) Providing cattle / buffalo breeding services: It has been decided to extend the cattle/buffalo breeding services, free of cost, to all the breedable cattle and buffaloes in the 31 districts and intensify them through door-to-door services. This relaxation is applicable only once for every animal in these districts. Further it has also been decided to cover 70% of the breedable animals once by estrus synchronization. The cost of providing AI services at the doorstep was fixed at `300/- per animal and that of estrus synchronization at `650 per animal w.e f the year 2007. The permissible cost of estrus synchronization has been increased from `650/- to `750 for Protocol I and `800 for Protocol II. The savings achieved by exercising economy in the implementation of the AI coverage can be utilized for supply of mineral mixture and kits for detection, preservation and control of mastistis. Taking up de-worming and provision of urea molasses blocks as a substitute for estrus synchronization is also allowed to bring animals into fertile heat. The funds requirement for implementing this component will be provided by the Government of India under the NPCBB.

(d) Provision of health care to dairy animals: It has been decided to provide health care services in respect of animals inducted for a period of one year, which

is estimated at `300 per animal per year. This will be borne by the Government of India under the centrally sponsored scheme ‘Assistance to States for Control of Animal Diseases’. Additional animals inducted under the package may also be extended health cover for a period of one year, without involving any additional financial implication.

(e) Establishment of milk chilling units: It has been decided to provide necessary funds under this package to set up chilling centres to facilitate procurement for every 10,000 – 12,000 litres of milk producing cluster of dairy units. Funds would be provided by the Government of India from the outlay for the centrally sponsored scheme ‘Intensive Dairy Development Programme’ (IDDP) to establish 50 chilling units over a period of five years. As per existing norms, funds under the IDDP can be provided for only those districts which were not covered by ‘Operation Flood’ or in which expenditure under OF was less than `50 lakh. It has been decided to waive these conditions in respect of these 31 districts.

(f) Feed and fodder supply programme: The high yielding milch animals (average milk production - 10Kg./day) need about 14 to 15 Kgs. of balanced feed and fodder per day, which can be processed and compressed into a block. Such blocks can be produced

79Chapter 10


commercially by establishment of fodder block making units. For feeding of such blocks, 25% of the cost of `100 for each block will be provided as subsidy by the Central Govt.

(g) Establishment of fodder block making units: It has been decided to establish fodder block making units in the affected districts, where adequate quantity of crop residues, dry fodder etc. are available. The fodder blocks produced by such units may provide the requisite nutrients, including vitamins and minerals for high yielding cows. Under this package, 50% subsidy is provided to attract entrepreneurs to establish fodder blocks making plants in the suicide prone districts. Provision of feed concentrate as an option for fodder blocks is also allowed in view of the farmers’ preference for concentrate feed readily available in the market. In place of 10 fodder block making units involving a financial outlay of ̀ 4.26 crore for the entire period of package, two fodder block making units at a cost of `85 lakh per unit may be established and the remaining funds of `3.41 crore may be utilized for setting up 100 mini feed mixing plants at a cost of `6.5 lakh per unit approximately, providing subsidy of 50 % to the beneficiary. Further, re-appropriation of funds from the component ‘Fodder Block Making Units’ to other activities or for up-gradation of existing cattle feed plants, is allowed provided the feed produced in such

cattle feed plants is supplied to the animals inducted under the Special Package at a subsidized rate.

(h) Fisheries Programme: It has also been decided to provide farmers in the 31 districts with an opportunity for supplementary income through fisheries by development/creation of water bodies. A fisheries programme, initially in 100 ha. area in each of these 31 districts, may be taken up under the existing scheme ‘Development of Freshwater Aquaculture’. The scheme provides assistance for construction of ponds and input costs for the first year. As per norms, the capital cost per hectare comes to `2.00 lakh and input costs `30,000. It has been decided to double the existing subsidy of 20% in the case of general category farmers and 25% for SC/ST farmers to 40% and 50% respectively. As against the existing provision of sharing of subsidy in the ratio of 75: 25 between the Centre and the States, cent percent subsidy for the farmers in these districts will be borne by the Central Government. Renovation and repair of ponds is also permissible activity under this component.

(i) Conducting Fertility Camp: It may not be necessary to take recourse to estrus synchronization to bring animals into fertile heat. With minor interventions like antibiotic therapy at an average cost of `150/- per animal, this is possible. Funds made available for breeding services component of the Special Package may be utilized for the purpose.

80 Chapter 10


(j) Pregnant Animal Feeding Programme: It provides for provision of nutritional support to animals in later stages of pregnancy from sixth month onwards by giving one kg. of cattle feed per day. Further, provision of one dose of anti-helmentic during third trimester of pregnancy and one dose during the first week after parturition to improve the milk production capacity of the animals has also been approved. Funds for the purpose at the rate of `1,010/- per animal may be met from the savings available for breeding component of the package.

(k) Goatery, piggery, poultry and sheep farming: In order to provide additional avenues of generating subsidiary income to the affected population in the identified districts, goatery, piggery, poultry and sheep farming were also been included in the Special Package. The identified beneficiaries may select these options depending on local conditions.

(l) Pen and Cage Culture: Pen and cage culture are modern fish seed rearing technologies to increase fish production. The productivity of fish seed can be enhanced manifold by resorting to cage culture in reservoirs. Similarly, pen culture is a low-cost and effective technology suitable for rearing fish

seed from spawn to fingerlings stage within the reservoir itself. An amount of `15,000/-, including capital expenditure of `10,000/- and operative cost of `5,000/- is provided to produce fingerlings at the rate of 13.2 kg/Cu.m. per crop per cage of 54 Cu.m. An amount of `6,750/- will be provided as subsidy and the remaining amount comes in the form of bank loan. It is envisaged to generate an income of `21,384/- with a net profit of `6,384/- from these activities.

(m) Mitigation of Agrarian Distress in Idukki District and Development of Kuttanad Wetland Eco-system: These two packages are also parts of ‘Special Livestock Sector and Fisheries Package for the Suicide Prone Districts in the States of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala’. The total outlay of ‘Mitigation of Agrarian Distress in Idukki District’ is `91.15 crore and that of ‘Development of Kuttanad Wetland Eco-system’ is `9.50 crore. An amount of `7.37 crore has been released for Kuttanad Package and `9.39 crore has been released for Idukki Package till 31st December 2010.
