Khandu takes stock of Central schemes

Itanagar, Oct 5 (UNI) Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu on Monday took
stock of all the Central schemes being implemented in the state.
Chairing a review meeting with departments of Agriculture, Horticulture, Animal Husbandry
& Veterinary and Fisheries here this morning, Khandu assured financial support to the
schemes that require state share.
He said as implementation of agri and allied sector schemes are time bound and seasonal,
delay in release of state share of funds should be avoided.
When informed by departmental officials of state share still to be released for utilisation of
central shares, Khandu asked the Chief Secretary to convene a meeting of the concerned
departments with the Finance and Planning department officials so that all pending cases of
state share be resolved at one go.
With regard to the infestation of paddy fields especially in the districts of East Siang, Siang,
Upper Siang and Lower Dibang Valley that caused huge loss to rice farmers, the CM urged
the concerned departments to extend help in all possible manner.
A detailed discussion was also held on oil palm cultivation, which is central scheme under the
National Food Security Mission (NFSM).
Khandu and Tage Taki, Agriculture Minister, who was also present, were informed that the
state government had signed MoUs with three companies – Siva Sai, 3F and Ruchi Soya for
setting up oil extraction factories and buy back oil palm fruits from farmers under the scheme.
While several farmers will be harvesting for the first time this year, the companies are yet to
establish the assured infrastructure.
The CM took serious note of it and directed the Secretary to take up with the company
authorities and the concerned deputy commissioners urgently.
Khandu also emphasised on successful and prompt implementation of the recently launched
Prime Minister’s Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY) under which the centre along with the state
will bear 60 percent of the total cost for establishment of a fishery and 40 percent will be the beneficiary’s investment.
During the meeting several schemes like Prime Minister’s Kisan Yojana, Rashtriya Krishi
Vikas Yojana , etc were discussed and reviewed.
The new farm laws and its impact on Arunachal Pradesh were also discussed at length.
Khandu said that the new laws will help farmers augment their income in contradiction to
opposition theories.
