1 Rate of Assistance for distribution of seeds under subsidy may be increased from Rs. 2000/- per qtl to Rs. 5000/- per qtl in case of Hybrid rice seed. The Assistance rate for distribution of HYV rice seeds may be increased from Rs. 500/- per qtl to Rs. 1000/- per qtl. The Rate of Assistance for distribution of Pulse seeds under subsidy may be increased from Rs.1200/- per qtl to Rs. 5000/- per qtl.

2 Due to low availability of certified pulse seeds, utilization of TL seeds may be permitted.

3 Attempts are being taken up to popularize the Mini Dal Mill for value addition to the produce of the pulse farmers.

4 Amount of assistance for 100 ha cluster DC may be enhanced
