Centre to spend Rs 50,000 crore on the farming and irrigation sector: Jaitley

15 Jul 2015 Evaluate

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, admitting that the condition of farmers is a “matter of concern”, has said the Centre was planning to spend Rs 50,000 crore on the farming and irrigation sector and plans were also afoot to roll out an insurance scheme exclusively for the farming sector to compensate for crop loss. The finance minister while noting that the agriculture sector presents its own set of challenges with successive low rate of growth over the years, also admitted that 'We have been unable to ensure even a 4 per cent growth consistently in the field of agriculture.'

Jaitley further stated that with productivity levels reasonably low and 85 per cent farmers being small and marginal, the agriculture sector is afflicted by higher input costs, low level of irrigation, high indebtedness, absence of an effective insurance mechanism and adverse impacts of climate change.

Talking about insurance, Jaitley said that the present crop insurance schemes cover only the loans which a farmer has taken from banks and the condition of farmers is a matter of concern...”We are working on the next challenge wherein if farmer's crop gets damaged, he will automatically get insurance amount for the crop loss while sitting at his home. We are bringing an insurance scheme only for the farming sector.”

Earlier the Finance Minister had stated that Ashok Gulati, Infosys Chair Professor for Agriculture, ICRIER (Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations), had made a presentation to the government on a 'doable and effective' insurance programme, under which the farmer is able to at least recover the basic inputs in the event of uncertainty caused by more than one reason.
