CHAPTER 2
APPROACH AND STRATEGIES
2.1
Approach & Thrust Areas
2.1.1
The Animal Husbandry and Fisheries sectors play an important role
in the national economy, and in the socio-economic development of the country.
These sectors also play a significant role in supplementing family incomes and
generating gainful employment in the rural sector, particularly among the landless,
small and marginal farmers and women, besides providing cheap nutritional food
to millions of people.
2.2
National Agriculture Policy
2.2.1 The National Agriculture Policy aims to attain a growth rate in excess of 4
per cent per annum in the agriculture sector, stresses the importance of food and
nutritional security issues and the importance of animal husbandry and fisheries
sectors in generating wealth and employment. Since the present growth rate in
crop production is around 2%, higher growth rates of 6 to 8% in Animal Husbandry
sector, would help in achieving the targeted growth rate of 4% for the Agriculture
sector as a whole. The Policy proposes to accord high priority to diversification of
production, increasing protein availability in the food basket and generation of
exportable surpluses. Health care, fodder production, and freedom from animal
diseases are some of the other areas of importance, as envisaged in the Policy
document.
2.2.2
On fisheries, an integrated approach to marine and inland fisheries,
designed to promote sustainable aquaculture practices, has been envisaged. The
fields of biotechnological applications in the genetics and breeding, immunology
and disease control are some of the other priority areas. The policy indicates that
deep-sea fishing will be developed to take advantage of the vast potential of the
resources in the country’s exclusive economic zone.
2.3
Approach for 10th Plan
2.3.1
The Agriculture Policy lays stresses on the importance of food and
nutritional security through diversification of agriculture in animal husbandry and
fishery sector. The Approach Paper to the Tenth Five Year Plan has also identified
animal husbandry including dairying and poultry as an important component of
agricultural diversification. The commitment of the Government to enhance food
production also calls for rapid increase in the production of livestock, fish and fishery
products. Keeping these in view, the emphasis of the Department will be on the all
round development of these sectors.
2.3.2
In consonance with the overall strategy of the Tenth Plan, the major
thrust of the policies and activities of the Department was concentrated on rapid
genetic upgradation of cattle and buffaloes, provision of health cover including
5
creation of disease free zones, provision of nutritious feed and fodder, integrated
approach to marine and inland fisheries, development of deep sea fishing, etc.
2.3.3
The major thrust during the 10th Five Year Plan is, hence, on the
following critical areas;

Rapid genetic up gradation of cattle and buffaloes and improvement in the
delivery mechanism of breeding inputs and services to farmers.
Extension of dairy development activities in non-Operation Flood, hilly and
backward areas, including clean milk production.
Promotion of fodder crops and fodder trees to improve animal nutrition.
Provision of adequate animal health services with special emphasis on creation
of disease free zones and control of foot and mouth disease.
Improvement of small ruminants & pack animals
Development of backyard poultry in rural areas.
Provision of credit facility to farmers for viable activities.
Development of reliable database and management information system.
Adoption of integrated approach to marine and inland fisheries, designed to
promote sustainable aquaculture practices.
Strengthening of infrastructure for production of fish seed, berthing and landing
facilities for fishing vessels.
Mechanization of fishing boats.
Development of the deep sea fishing industry to take advantage of the vast
potential of country’s exclusive economic zone.

CHAPTER 3
ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
3.1
Animal Husbandry is a state subject and the State Governments are
primarily responsible for the growth of the sector. The Department of Animal
Husbandry & Dairying has, however, been operating 18 Central Livestock
Organizations and allied Institutions for production and distribution of superior germ
plasms to the State Governments for cross breeding and genetic upgradation of the
stocks. Besides, the Department has been implementing 12 Central Sector and
Centrally Sponsored Schemes for the development of requisite infrastructure and
supplementing the efforts of the State Governments for achieving the accelerated
growth of animal husbandry sector. The progress of the Central Livestock
Organizations and the achievements of various schemes is given below:
3.2
Central Cattle Development Organizations
3.2.1
These organizations consist of 7 Central Cattle Breeding Farms, one
Central Frozen Semen Production and Training Institute and 4 Central Herd
Registration Units established in different regions of the country for seeking
production of genetically superior breed of bull calves, good quality frozen semen
and identification of location of superior germplasms of cattle and buffaloes, to meet
the requirement of bulls and frozen semen doses in different parts of the country.
3.3
Central Cattle Breeding Farms (CCBF)
3.3.1
There are seven Central Cattle Breeding Farms (CCBFs) located at
Alamadhi (Tamil Nadu), Andeshnagar (U.P), Chiplima, Sunabeda (Orissa), Dhamrod
(Gujarat), Hesserghatta (Karnataka), and Suratgarh (Rajasthan). They are producing
high pedigree bull calves of indigenous and exotic breeds of cattle and important
buffalo breeds for distribution to States for use in the cattle and buffalo development
programmes. The bull calves are produced from Tharparkar, Red Sindhi, Jersey,
Holstein Friesian Crossbred cattle, Surti and Murrah buffalo breeds. The Farm at
Andeshnagar and Chiplima are producing HF x Tharparkar crossbred and Jersey x
Red Sindhi crossbred bulls respectively. The farms located at Sunabeda, Suratgarh
and Andeshnagar also have the facilities for production of frozen semen.
3.3.2
The Central Cattle Breeding Farm, Alamadhi has been assisted with
associated herd progeny testing programme of Central Institute for Research on
Buffaloes, Hissar. The buffaloes available at the farm used for test mating of Murrah
bulls and semen of proven/high pedigree bulls is used for further genetic
improvement.
3.3.3
Since inception, the farms have produced 13,382 bull calves and
distributed 4786 high pedigree bulls to different States for meeting the requirement of
their cattle and buffalo breeding programmes. During 2003-04, the farms have
produced 307 bull calves against the target of 275 bulls.
13
3.4 Central Frozen Semen Production and Training Institute, Hessarghatta
3.4.1
This is a premier institute located at Hesserghatta (Karnataka)
producing frozen semen doses of indigenous, exotic crossbred and Murrah bulls for
use in Artificial Insemination (AI). The institute also provides training in frozen semen
technology to technical officers of the State Governments and act as a Centre for
testing the indigenously manufactured frozen semen and AI equipments. The
Institute has acquired proficiency in Embryo Transfer Technology sponsored by the
Department of Biotechnology from 1987-88 to 1991-92. The Institute has started
conducting the following four training programmes from the current financial year.

Frozen Semen Processing Technology (3 weeks)

Management of Field AI Programme & Infertility (2 weeks)

Laboratory Techniques for Evaluation and Quality Control of Frozen Semen (2
weeks)

Andrological Aspects of Bull Breeding Soundness (3 weeks)
3.4.2
Since inception the Institute has produced 14.91 million doses of frozen
semen and distributed 13.74 million doses for different cattle and buffalo breeding
programmes of the country. The Institute has also trained 2547 Veterinary Officers.
During 2003-2004, the Insitute produced 10.81 lakh doses of frozen semen against
the target of 7.00 lakh doses.
3.5
Central Herd Registration Units (CHRUs)
3.5.1
The Department is implementing a Central Herd Registration Scheme for
registration of elite cows and buffaloes of national importance breeds and awarding
incentive for rearing of elite cows and male calves. It plays a vital role in sourcing
indigenous germ plasm required for National Project on Cattle and Buffalo Breeding.
The following activities are undertaken under the scheme:
1. Identification and location of superior germ plasm
2. Using this data for producing superior germ plasm.
3. Preservation of indigenous germ plasm.
4. Milk recording of Cattle and Buffaloes for improving Dairy Industry.
3.5.2
This scheme has a significant role in assisting the Departments of
Animal Husbandry of States& UT’s, private sectors and Government undertakings in
procuring elite dairy cows and buffaloes as well as bulls and progeny of high genetic
potential for use in the development programme.
3.5.3
Total 92 Milk Recording Centres located in the States of Gujarat,
Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh are
functioning under the 4 CHRS Units i.e. Rohtak, Ahmedabad, Ajmer and Ongole for
recording the milk of indigenous breeds of Gir, Kankrej, Hariana, Ongole of Cattle
and Murrah, Jaffrabadi, Surti and Mehsani breeds of buffalo for their confirmation of
14
Pheno-typing breed characteristic and milk production level. These are identified in
their breeding tracts and publicity is made for marketing of registered cows and
buffaloes and their calves.
3.5.4
The primary registration of 10,341 cows and buffaloes is made during
2003-2004 against the target of 11,040. A seminar on field performance recording
and field visits were organized during 2003-04.
3.6
National Project for Cattle & Buffalo Breeding
3.6.1
Genetic improvement is a long term activity and Government of India
has initiated a major programme “National Project for Cattle and buffalo Breeding”
(NPCBB) from October, 2000, in two phases each of five years, with an allocation of
Rs.402 crores for the first phase. This envisages genetic upgradation on priority
basis by reorganization and reorientation of the cattle and buffalo breeding
operations in the country. The Project provides 100% grant-in-aid to the State
Implementing Agencies. The Major objectives of the Project are:
(i)
to arrange delivery of vastly improved artificial insemination service at the
farmers doorstep
(ii)
to progressively bring under organised breeding through artificial insemination
or natural service by high quality bulls, all breedable females among cattle and
buffalo within a period of 10 years
(iii)
to undertake breed improvement programme for indigenous cattle and buffalo
breeds so as to improve their genetic qualities as well as their availability, and
(iv)
to provide quality breeding inputs in breeding tracts of important indigenous
breeds so as to prevent the breeds from deterioration and extinction.
3.6.2 The Project components specially designed to address the existing
inadequacies will focus on the natural mating system as well as the A.I. network with
particular attention to:
(a)
streamlining storage and supply of Liquid Nitrogen by sourcing supply from
industrial gas manufacturers and setting up bulk transport and storage systems for
the same
(b)
introduction of quality bulls with high genetic merit through Field Performance
Recording, Progeny Testing, Embryo Testing Technology.
(c)
promotion of private mobile A.I. service for doorstep delivery
(d)
conversion of existing stationery Government A.I. centers into mobile AI
centers
(e)
quality control of bulls, Frozen Semen and services at sperm stations, semen
banks and training institutions
(f)
study of breeding systems in areas out of reach of A.I. and
(g)
institutional restructuring by way of entrusting the job of managing production
and supply of genetic inputs as well as Liquid Nitrogen to a specialized autonomous
and professional State Implementing Agency.
3.6.3
Presently, 24 States are participating in the Project and a sum of
Rs.134.57 crores has been released to these States so far. The project has been
provided a budgetary allocation of Rs.48.00 crores during 2003-2004 and a sum of
15
Rs. 35.95 crores have been released to 15 States for creation of 5457 mobile AIC,
Strengthening/Establishment of 5 Sperm Station, Strengthening/Establishment of 31
Frozen Semen Bank and Strengthening/Establishment of 17 Training Centre. Under
the Project, four National Seminars and one Regional Seminar on Cattle and Buffalo
Breeding were also organised in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal and
Nagaland, respectively.
3.7
Poultry Development
3.7.1
Poultry Development has taken a quantum leap in the last three
decades emerging from a near backyard practice to a venture of industrial
promotion. India is on the world map as one of the leading egg producing countries
with about 37 billion eggs produced per annum. The broiler production has also sky
rocketed at an annual growth rate of about 15% and stands at about 1000 million
broiler at present.
3.7.2
After the initial boost given by the Central Poultry Breeding Farm to
promote poultry farming on commercial lines in the country the poultry sector has
flourished and now about 70% of the production management and marketing is
under a highly organized sector. The rest 30% of the unorganized sector whose
contribution needs to be strengthened is now being focused upon by promoting
backyard poultry.
3.7.3
Apart from taking important policy decisions and providing
infrastructure support, the department is now planning to diversify its activities by
stepping up production of Turkey, Quail, Guineas fowl etc.
3.8
Central Poultry Development Organisations (Regional Directorate
on Poultry Development)
3.8.1
Twelve Poultry Units working under this Deptt. have been restructured
by clubbing the Units of respective regions and named as Central poultry
Development Organizations, so as to converge the poultry development activities in
a single window system. These organizations are now operating to meet the
following requirements of their respective region.
i)
Making available quality chicks: At these centers, identified low-input
technology poultry stocks will be multiplied and mostly supplied to all States of the
region as well as any other State(s) as & when required, for their rural poultry
development programs. These organizations as and when required will procure
breeding stock of low input technology developed by ICAR, Agriculture Universities,
private sectors, NGOs etc. and will also explore the possibility of importing such
germplasm developed abroad. The industrial type of birds will be phased out
completely.
ii)
Diversification program: So far poultry development has been concentrated
on only one species i.e. chicken. This department has identified diversification of this
program as a thrust area and as such the other species such as Duck and Turkey
(Southern region), Japanese Quail (Northern and Western region) and Guinea fowl
and Duck (Eastern region) will be suitably strengthened. Since these diversification
16
programs on large scale will be taken up for the first time in the country, training in
the breeding and management of Turkey, Guinea fowl, Duck and Japanese Quail
etc. woud be taken from countries which have developed good stock and their
management practices are suited for the Indian system of rearing. If necessary these
stocks may also be imported to develop a broad base germplasm.
iii)
Strengthening of Feed quality monitoring wing: The feed
laboratories are concentrating their activities in the following areas:
a.
b.
c.
analytical
Analysis of various feed/feed ingredients;
To develop least cost feed formulation based on locally available ingredients;
To work as a referral lab for assessing the residual effects of various toxic
substances in poultry feed including poultry products.
iv)
Training Program: The training programme will be suitably tailor made at all
the regional Centres to meet the requirement of trainers, farmers, women
beneficiaries, various public and private sector poultry organizations, NGOs, Banks,
Cooperatives and foreign trainees etc.
v)
Adoption of village: Each Directorate will adopt 5 to 10 villages in their
region by extending extension services to make it a model poultry village, which will
serve as a Demonstration centre.
vi)
Random Sample Tests: Under this the Random Poultry Performance Testing
Center located at Gurgaon, Haryana is being strengthened to convert the center to
National level standards providing all modern facilities in the areas of housing,
feeding, watering so as to enable the department to test regularly the various stocks
available in the country as well as imported from outside India by various poultry
industrial sectors so as to assess the performance of those stocks in India and also
the center will be helpful for monitoring the disease status.

Centrally Sponsored Scheme “Assistance To State Poultry/ Duck
3.9.1
The scheme is being implemented in all the States and UTs. The
pattern of assistance is 100% in the case of North Eastern States including Sikkim
whereas it is 80:20 in respect of other States between center and State respectively
at the rate of maximum Rs. 85.00 lakhs for each farm. In the existing premises of the
State farms poultry guinea fowl, quail, turkey can also be taken up as a new activity.
The scheme also applies to the farms of the State Governments farms running in
collaboration with cooperatives/private sector/NGOs etc. One time assistance is
provided to strengthen them in terms of hatching, brooding and rearing of the birds
with provision for feed mill and their quality monitoring and in-house disease
diagnostic facilities. These farms maintain the parent stock of low input technology
birds duly identified by this department in consultation with ICAR and State
Government. A provision has been made in the scheme for revolving fund for
purchase of replacement breeding stock, feed ingredients, transportation, medicines
and vaccines etc. The amount so spent has to be recouped from the sale proceeds
of eggs, chicks and culled birds etc. and may be used for the farm year after year
making it a financially self-sufficient unit. Under this scheme Rs.10.66 crores during
2002-03 and Rs.5.48 crores during 2003-04 have been sanctioned and released to
the State Governments.
3.9.2
Under the scheme instructions have been issued to all the States and
UTs to select women groups as the beneficiaries for distribution of day old poultry
birds of low input technology.
3.10
Central Sheep Breeding Farm, Hissar (Haryana)
3.10.1
The Farm was established during the Fourth Five Year Plan for
producing and disseminating acclimatized stud rams to various State Sheep Farms
for cross-breeding programmes and genetic stock up gradation. The farm also runs
training courses in mechanical sheep shearing, grading of wool and maintenance of
sheep shearing machines. The farm has supplied a total of 3725 exotic and
crossbred rams and 74 ewes to beneficiaries through the State Governments during
Ninth Five Year Plan. As against the target of production 750 rams during 2002-03 it
has supplied 1023 rams. Against the target supply of 750 rams during 2003-04, the
Farm has supplied 510 rams and 50 ewes.
3.11
Conservation of Threatened Livestock Breeds (New)
3.11.1
A new Centrally Sponsored Scheme “Conservation of threatened
livestock breeds of small ruminants, pack animals and equine” to conserve and
protect threatened breeds of livestock, has been initiated during 10th Plan. Under the
18
scheme, assistance is provided to the States for the conservation of sheep, goat,
pigs, camels, yak, horse, donkey and ponies. The grant is given through the State
Government to the State Government farms / State Government Undertakings /
Boards / Federations / Government Institutes like ICAR, etc. / NGOs / Self-help
Groups / farmers / breeders / professional scientists of repute involved in
conservation work.
3.11.2
There is a budget provision of Rs.1500 lakhs for Tenth Five Year Plan
and Rs 296 lakhs was released to the States during 2002-03. The assistance has
been provided to Karnataka (Rs.63.80 lakhs), Gujarat (Rs.11.50 lakhs), Punjab
(Rs.6.70 lakhs), Rajasthan (Rs.42.00 lakhs) and Tripura (Rs.171.50 lakhs) during
2002-03. The budgetary provision for 2003-04 has been kept again at Rs 50 lakhs
and the whole amount has been released to the State of Mizoram.
3.12
Meat and Meat Products
3.12.1
Country is endowed with more than 11 per cent of the World livestock
population comprising variety of meat animals such as buffaloes, goat, sheep, pigs,
cattle, and poultry. Effective utilization of livestock resources is essential for
sustainable animal production. The per capita animal protein availability is about 10
g as against the World average of 25 g. Considering the targeted minimum
requirement of 20g per capita per day for animal protein, 4 g will come from meat
remaining 16 g from other livestock products. The estimated demand of meat for the
present population would be 7.7 million tones as against the present production of
5.7 million tones. Therefore significant gap exists between the demand and supply of
meat and meat products.
3.12.2
Various un-productive categories of livestock are slaughtered for their
effective utilization for production of meat. There is an urgent need to provide safe
and wholesome meat, gainfully utilize animal by-products and prevent bird-`hit
menace to aircrafts, prevent environmental pollution and to provide humane
treatment to animals. Keeping these objectives in view, a Centrally Sponsored
Scheme “Assistance to States” for improvement/modernization of slaughter houses
and establishment of carcass utilization centers” was being implemented with effect
from 8th Five Year Plan.
3.12.3
Under the component “Establishment of Carcass Utilization Centers”,
100% central assistance was provided for building, plants and machinery and
effluent treatment and 50% for water, electricity and land development etc. for
establishing carcass utilization centers.
3.12.4
During the period under report, grants were released to the states of
Tamilnadu – Rs.47.49 lacs and Chattishgarh – Rs.150.00 lacs for establishment of
Carcass Utilisation centers at Namakkal and Raipur, respectively.
3.13
Feed and Fodder Development
3.13.1
The nutritive value of feed and fodder has a significant bearing on
productivity of livestock. Due to increasing pressure on land for growing food grains,
oil seeds and pulses adequate attention has not been given to the production of
fodder crops. Further, on account of diversified use of agriculture residues, the gap
19
between the demand and supply of fodder is increasing. According to the report of
Working Group on Animal Husbandry and Dairying for 10th Five Year Plan of
Planning Commission, the available fodder can meet the demand of only 46.7 per
cent of livestock. Frequent droughts in several States have also brought out the
need to develop fodder banks in vulnerable areas and strategies for improving the
efficiencies of fodder supplies from one region to the other region of the country. The
Department has two schemes viz. Central Fodder Development Organization and
the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Assistance to States for Feed and Fodder
Development. A new centrally sponsored scheme on fodder development is also
under consideration.
3.14
Central Fodder Development Organization
3.14.1
Under this scheme, 7 Regional Stations for Forage Production &
Demonstration located in different agro-climatic zones of the country and 1 Central
Fodder Seed Production Farm, Hessarghatta, Bangalore are being operated.
Besides this, Central Minikit Testing Programme on Fodder Crops is being funded
under this scheme. The details are as under:
A.
Regional Stations for Forage Production and Demonstration and Central
Fodder Seed Production Farm
3.14.2
For production and propagation of certified seeds of high yielding
varieties of fodder crops and pasture grasses/legumes, the Government has
established 7 Regional Stations at Mamidipally, Hyderabad (Andhra Pradesh),
Gandhi Nagar (Gujarat), Hissar (Haryana), Suratgarh (Rajasthan), Sahema (Jammu
& Kashmir), Alamadhi (Tamil Nadu) and Kalyani (West Bengal) and 1 Central Fodder
Seed Production Farm at Hessarghatta. These station are catering to requirements
of the farmers of different agro-climatic regions. These Stations also carry out
extension activities through field demonstrations and farmers’ fairs / field days.
During the current year, these Stations have produced 209 tonnes of fodder seeds,
conducted 2152 demonstrations, organized 25 training programmes and 28 farmers’
fairs / field days.
B.
Central Minikit Demonstrations
3.14.5
Minikit demonstrations on fodder crops aim at making farmers aware
through field demonstrations about latest high yielding varieties of fodder crops and
improved agronomic package of practices to increase production of green fodder.
Certified seeds of high yielding fodder crops/grasses/legumes produced at Regional
Stations and Central Farm, Hesserghatta, are used under this scheme. Fodder kits
are allotted for onward distribution to the farmers free of cost. During 2003-04, 3.88
lakh minikits have been distributed.
3.15
Assistance to States for Feed and Fodder Development.
3.15.1
This is a Centrally Sponsored Scheme under which central assistance
was being provided to States to supplement their efforts in feed and fodder
development sector. This scheme has been discontinued after 9th Plan. However,
two components of this scheme; i) establishment of fodder banks and ii) enrichment
20
of straw/cellulosic waste have been revived up to March’2004 to facilitate the States
to combat the drought situation.
A.
Establishment of Fodder Banks.
3.15.2
Under this scheme, assistance is provided to the State Governments
for establishment of fodder banks to preserve fodder for use during drought and
scarcity period. Large areas in many States are used for growing grass, which could
be preserved in the fodder banks. During 2003-04, Rs.76.98 lakhs have been
provided with the funding pattern of 75:225 (Central:State) for establishing 2 fodder
banks, in Tripura and Mizoram respectively.
B.
Enrichment of Straw and Cellulosic Wastes.
3.15.3
Under this scheme assistance is given to the farmers to enrich the
quality of straw used for livestock, by treatment with urea and molasses. This help in
increasing productivity and reducing the cost of milk production. Funding pattern for
this component is 100% on central grant basis. During 2003-04, Rs.123.015 lakhs
have been provided to the State Governments of Maharashtra (Rs.8.44 lakhs,
Tripura (Rs,20.00 lakhs), Himachal Pradesh (Rs.2.00 lakhs), Rajasthan (Rs.40.00
lakhs), Karnataka (Rs. 25.00 lakhs) and Nagaland (Rs.27.57 lakhs).

Pneumonia (CBPP) initiated in 8
districts of Assam by NPRE in 20012002.
3.17.5
The successful implementation of this scheme will yield major
economic benefits to owners of livestock, particularly small, marginal farmers and
landless labourers. Besides, the scheme is expected to give a boost to export of
meat and other livestock products and expenditure on livestock health care
23
programmes would substantially be reduced due to eradication of rinderpest and
CBPP from the country.
Project Frame of NPRE
3.17.6
The Project is being implemented with the participation of Departments
of Animal Husbandry of the States & Union Territories, ICAR Research Institutes etc.
The Project is being monitored by a Central Project Monitoring Unit (CPMU) with
similar monitoring units established at the state level. The technical programme of
the project frame is as per the OIE pathway stipulation. Funds are released to the
States/UTs on 100% funding pattern for carrying out the NPRE activities.
Physical Achievements
3.17.7
The salient achievements of the project are as under: -
 The first stage of “Provisional freedom from Rinderpest disease” for the
whole country was achieved with effect from 1st March, 1998.
 The second stage of “Freedom from Rinderpest disease” for the country with
zones has been approved by OIE on 12.03.2004
 For attaining the third and final stage of “Freedom from Rinderpest Infection”,
the sero surveillance work has been started in randomly selected 1162
villages across the country. 1st Phase (1.11.01 to 30.10.02) and IInd phase
(1.11.02 to 31.10.03) have been completed. IIIrd phase has been taken up
w.e.f. 1.11.03 and after its completion on 31.10.04, the dossier shall be
submitted to OIE to seek the final stage “Freedom from Rinderpest Infection”.
 Eradication programme for Contagious Bovine Pleuro Pneumonia (CBPP)
which is also the mandate of NPRE, has been initiated in 8 districts of Assam.
Clinical surveillance and sero surveillance for this programme is underway in
these districts. Provisional freedom from CBPP has been declared in October,
2003.
 National Animal Disease Emergency Committee (NADEC) and National
Emergency Task Force (NETF) have been set up to tackle any situation
arising due to re-emergence of foci of Rinderpest or any other exotic disease.
State Animal Disease Emergency Committees (SADEC) are being constituted
in the States on the same lines.
3.17.8
Current Programme status
As the country has been declared as “ Free from Rinderpest Disease”, the
physical surveillance through village, stock route & institutional searches to detect
any hidden cases of rinderpest is being undertaken throughout the country with the
help of the staff of Animal Husbandry department of the States & UTs.
24
A strategic reserve of 2.5 million doses of Rinderpest Vaccine is being
maintained at 6 Vaccine Banks across the country to meet any eventuality arising
due to re-emergence of Rinderpest.
A homologous PPR vaccine has been developed in the country. Six State
Biological Production Units have been identified to undertake vaccine production.
Animal Disease Information System is being put in place wherein all the
Directorates of Animal Husbandry in States/UTs of the country shall be linked with
Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Government of India through RF
/Dial up facility for transmission of disease information.
D.
Foot & Mouth Disease Control Programme (New)
3.17.9 Under macro-management approach, a new component “Foot and Mouth
Disease Control Programme” is being implemented in 54 specified districts in the
country to control the Foot and Mouth Disease as Fourth component with 100%
funding which includes the cost of vaccine and supporting expenses. However the
State Governments are providing manpower and infrastructure and logistic support.
About 250 lakhs vaccinations has been carried out under this programme
during the year 2003-2004.
3.18
Animal Husbandry Statistics
3.18.1
The Animal Husbandry Statistics Unit of the Department is responsible
for maintaining database for animal husbandry, dairying and fishery activities. It
coordinates data collection concerning production of major livestock products i.e.
milk, egg, wool and meat and other livestock statistics through interaction with State
Governments and other Central departments/organizations concerned with
development of the Livestock Sector. Livestock products are estimated on the basis
of sample surveys being conducted throughout the year under the Centrally
Sponsored Scheme “Integrated Sample Survey for the Estimation of major Livestock
Products”. All the States and Union Territories are implementing the scheme.
Besides production estimates, other related data like feed and fodder consumption
by animals, utilization of milk, eggs and utilization of dung etc., are also collected and
compiled. Under this scheme, financial assistance is provided on 50:50 basis to the
State Governments and 100% assistance to Union Territories for conducting the
surveys. The estimates of livestock production are worked out on seasonal basis,
which are published in the consolidated annual report of the sample survey prepared
by the States/UTs.
3.18.2
In order to streamline animal husbandry statistics, identify
shortcomings and to suggest suitable methodology for estimation of production, an
Expert Committee namely “Technical Committee for Direction for Improvement of
Animal Husbandry & Dairying Statistics” has been constituted. This Committee also
reviews progress of implementation of the scheme of Integrated Sample Survey for
the estimation of major livestock products and approves estimates of production of
milk, egg, wool and meat. The "Basic Animal Husbandry Statistics” publication
contains important data relating to livestock and other related activities.
25
3.18.3
During the Tenth Plan two new components have been added to the
scheme- one to provide Information Technology solutions for the data analysis work
relating to the sample survey and other is to conduct special studies to fill the gaps in
the animal husbandry statistics. Under the IT solutions, The states of NE region and
the UTs will be provided 100% grant and the rest states will be provided 50:50 grant.
3.19
Livestock Census
3.19.1
The livestock population of different species is worked out on the basis
of livestock census, which is conducted quinquennially. Till the 16 th Livestock
census, conducted in 1997, the Directorate of Economics and Statistics in the
Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, Ministry of Agriculture was coordinating
the scheme. But during the 17th census the work has been transferred to Department
of Animal Husbandry & Dairying. The ultimate responsibility to conduct the 17th
Livestock census is on the Director of Animal Husbandry in the States/UTs.
3.19.2
A conference was organized in the month of May, 2003 for all
Directors of Animal Husbandry of the States/UT’s and the manual for instructions to
conduct the 17th Livestock census was finalized. National level seminars,
State/district level training programmes have been conducted before the actual
th
census work. Owing to the measures taken by the Department, the 17 Livestock
census has been conducted by all the States/UT’s and that too within a very short
period of time. All India provisional census details are planned to be released by
July, 2004.
26
CHAPTER 4
DAIRY DEVELOPMENT
4.1
The Indian Dairy Industry acquired substantial growth from 8th Plan onwards,
achieving an annual output of over 69 million tonnes of milk. India’s milk output
during the year 2001-2002 was estimated to be 84.6 million tonnes and is expected
to reach the level of 88.0 million tonnes during 2002-03. This has not only placed the
industry first in the world, but also represents sustained growth in the availability of
milk and milk products for the burgeoning population of the country. 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. The per
capita availability of the milk has also increased to a level of about 226g. per day, but
this is still very low as compared to developed nations or the world average of 285 g
per day. Government of India is making efforts to increase the productivity of milch
animals and thus increase the per capita availability of milk.
4.2
The efforts of the Department in the dairy sector are concentrated on
promotion of dairy activities in non-operation flood areas with emphasis on building
up cooperative infrastructure, revitalisation of sick dairy cooperative federations and
creation of infrastructure in the States for testing the quality of milk and milk
products. For pursuing these objectives, the Department has implemented 3
Schemes in the dairy sector during 2003-04. Besides this, the National Dairy
Development Board (NDDB) continues its activities for the overall development of
Dairy Sector in Operation Flood areas.
4.3
Integrated Dairy Development Project (IDDP) in Non-Operation Flood,
Hilly and Backward Areas
4.3.1 An Integrated Dairy Development Programme in Non-Operation Flood, Hilly
and Backward areas was launched during the 8th Plan. The scheme was continued
during the 9th Plan and is being continued during 10th Plan with a total outlay of
Rs.175 crores as a Centrally Sponsored Plan Scheme. It is being implemented on
100% grants in aid basis to the State Government. The main objectives of the
scheme are as under:
i)
ii)
iii)
iv)
v)
vi)
Development of milch cattle;
Increase the milk production by providing technical inputs 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
Since inception of the scheme, 53 projects with the total outlay of
Rs.292.19 crores have been sanctioned covering 149 districts of 23 States and one
U.T.
The scheme has benefited about 6.50 lakh(Provisional) farm families
organised into about 10,275 Village level Dairy Cooperative Societies which are
producing about 5.23 lakh litres of milk per day upto 31st December, 2003.
27
4.3.3
A total sum of Rs.209.12 crores have been released to the states
Governments/UT’s for implementation of approved projects upto 31 st March 2004.
4.4
Assistance to Cooperatives
4.4.1 The scheme of “Assistance to Cooperatives” aims at revitalizing the sick dairy
cooperative unions at the district level and cooperative federations at the State level.
4.4.2 The Department has so far approved 24 rehabilitation proposals of milk
unions in Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Kerala,
Maharashtra, Assam, Nagaland, Punjab, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu, with a total
outlay of Rs. 145.62 crores. The scheme is being implemented on 50:50 sharing
basis between Government of India and concerned State Governments. Out of 50%
Government of India’s share of Rs. 72.81 crores, an amount of Rs. 54.36 crores has
released upto 31st March, 2004.
4.4.3 So far, NDDB has identified tentatively 44 rehabilitation plan for assistance
under the scheme. Each rehabilitation plan is to be implemented within a period of 7
years from the date of its approval. The committed liabilities of most of the
rehabilitation plan is likely to be completed within the 10th five year plan period,
however in some cases committed liability of some of rehabilitation plans may
continue during the 11th five year plan.
4.5
Milk And Milk Product Order’1992
4.5.1 The Govt. of India had promulgated the Milk and Milk Product Order (MMPO)
1992 on 9.06.1992 under the provisions of Essential Commodities Act, 1955
consequent to de-licencing of the Dairy sector in 1991. As per the provisions of this
order, any person/dairy plant handling more than 10,000 liters per day of milk or 500
MT of milk solids per annum needs to be registered with the registering authority
appointed by the Central Government. The main objective of the order is to maintain
and increase the supply of liquid milk of desired quality in the interests of the general
public and also for regulating the production, processing and distribution of milk and
milk Products.
4.5.2 For faster pace of growth in the Dairy sector, Govt. of India has amended
Milk and Milk Product Order 1992 from time to time in order to make it more liberal
and oriented to facilitate the dairy entrepreneurs. During March 2002, Govt. of India
decided to remove restrictions on setting up of new capacity and to do away with the
concept of milkshed while noting that the requirement of registration is for enforcing
the prescribed standards of quality and food safety. Accordingly, Govt. of India
notified the amendment proposals in the official gazette on 26th March 2002. The
salient features of the new amendments are as follows:



The provision of assigning milkshed has been done away with.
The registrations under MMPO-92 will now cover sanitary, hygienic condition,
quality and food safety,aspects.
The provision of inspection of dairy plant has been made flexible.
28


The provision to grant registration in 90 days has been reduced to 45 days.
The power of registration of State registering Authority has been raised from
1.00 LLPD to 2.00 LLPD.
4.5.3 The Central and the State Registering Authorities altogether have so far
registered 653 units with combined capacity of 690.02 lakh liters per day in
Cooperative, Private and Government Sector as on 31.3.2004.
4.6
Strengthening Infrastructure for Quality & Clean Milk Production
4.6.1 India ranks 1st in the world in milk production. However, quality standard
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 Indian dairy products of the international
standards. Hence it has become necessary that immediate steps be taken for
improving the quality of Indian milk products to boost up the export potential of milk
and milk product to earn the valuable foreign exchange as well as to provide clean
milk to domestic population for better health.
4.6.2 With this in mind, Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying has introduced
a new Centrally Sponsored Scheme namely “Strengthening infrastructure for Quality
& Clean Milk Production” during 10th Plan with an outlay of Rs.30.00 Crores. The
Scheme has the following objectives:



Creation of necessary infrastructure for the production of quality milk and milk
products at the farmers level up to the points of consumption.
Improvement of milking procedure at the farmers level.
Training and Strengthening of infrastructure to create mass awareness about
importance of clean milk production.
4.6.3 The pattern of funding under the Scheme is on 100% Central share basis, for
the following components:i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
Training for clean milk production - all members of the society will be eligible
for training.
Detergent, antiseptic solutions, muslin cloth etc.
Utensils and accessories for clean milk production.
Strengthening of existing laboratory facilities.
Planning and monitoring.
The pattern of funding for purchase of bulk coolers under the Scheme is in the
ratio of 75: 25 between Government of India and the respective Dairy Co- operative
Society/Union.
4.6.4
29
4.7
Dairy/Poultry Venture Capital Fund – New scheme yet to be approved
4.7.1 To bring about structural changes in the unorganized sector, the measures like
processing at village level, process and market pasteurized milk in a cost effective
manner, quality upgradation and upgradation of traditional technology to handle
commercial scale using modern equipment and management skills, it is proposed to
introduce the new scheme of Dairy Venture Capital Fund scheme under which
assistance will be provided to the rural beneficiaries under a schematic proposal
through bankable projects. There is an outlay of Rs.25.00 crore made during the 10th
Five Year Plan.
4.7.2 Similarly, a considerable segment in the poultry sector is also still unorganized
and is spread over in the form of small farms in far-flung areas that still needs
organized effort to exploit their potential. Training and Marketing also continues to be
the weakest link in the facet of various poultry development programs. Due to these
limitations poultry development particularly in the North Eastern States and Eastern
States are still at very primitive stage. In order to boost these unattended sectors and
also to give incentive and create infrastructure facilities for organised sector, it is felt
necessary to create a Poultry venture capital fund for providing financial assistance,
which will encourage new species of birds and low input technology for poultry
farming among rural farmers.
4.8
Post Operation Flood and Consolidation of Cooperative Movement –
by NDDB
4.8.1 National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), an institution of national
importance was set up by the Government of India to promote, plan and organize
programmes for development of dairy and other agriculture based and allied
industries along cooperative lines on an intensive and nationwide basis.
4.8.2 Operation Flood (OF), an integrated dairy development programme,
completed its third phase on April 30, 1996. The main thrust of the programme was
to consolidate the gains already achieved, and to strengthen the dairy cooperative
structure for sustainable development of the dairy industry in India.
4.8.3 After the completion of Phase 3 of Operation Flood, a Programme
Implementation Agreement (PIA) was signed between the EEC and the NDDB to
strengthen cooperatives at the grassroot level. The Agreement was endorsed by the
Government of India on August 21, 1997. Consequently, measures were initiated
from September 1997 and are continuing during 2003-04.
4.8.4
Perspective Plan, 2010
4.8.4.1
NDDB’s Perspective Plan 2010, developed in consultation with the 126
identified cooperative milk unions and covering four thrust areas – strengthening the
cooperative business, enhancing productivity, managing quality and building a
national information network – aims to professionalise the working of dairy
cooperatives in the emerging liberalised business environment.
30
4.8.4.2 During the current financial year, NDDB continued to provide financial
support to the cooperative milk unions for implementation of their Perspective Plans.
As on march 2004, under Phase I, NDDB approved the plans of cooperative milk
unions with an investment outlay of Rs 883 crore. Out of this, NDDB has already
released Rs 328 crore to these unions for various Perspective Plan activities. It is
expected that an amount of over Rs 450 crore will stand disbursed under the Plans
by the close of 2003-2004.
4.8.5
Strengthening the cooperatives
4.8.5.1
During the year NDDB provided need-based support to milk unions in
strengthening dairy cooperative institutions, enhancing women involvement in dairy
cooperatives and increasing milk procurement.
NDDB’s Institution Building
Programme to strengthen dairy cooperatives in aspects like governance,
management and economic viability, is being implemented in 76 cooperative milk
unions across the country. NDDB also organised 12 training programmes during the
year for milk union personnel to enable them to facilitate these village level Institution
Building programmes. So far, about 300 union personnel have been trained.
4.8.5.2
Farmer Induction Programmes are also conducted to provide exposure
to the producers in Anand pattern cooperative management, productivity and clean
milk production practices. So far, 1598 farmers including 731 women have
participated in 39 farmer induction programmes.
4.8.6
Productivity Enhancement
4.8.6.1
During the year, NDDB assisted dairy cooperatives to develop and
deliver appropriate services in villages, in areas of animal breeding, nutrition and
health-care, leading to improved productivity of dairy animals and an increase in
farmers’ net income.
4.8.7
Animal Breeding
4.8.7.1
About 75 lakh frozen semen doses had been produced by the eight
cooperative owned and two NDDB managed Semen Production Stations till
November 2003. Under the artificial insemination programme, the cooperative milk
unions covered about 28,500 villages and performed about 54.2 lakh inseminations
using good quality genetic material. About 222 veterinarians from 26 milk unions
were trained in a special programme designed to improve their skills in fertility
management.
4.8.7.2
NDDB has initiated a project on buffalo genome in collaboration with
the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB), Hyderabad. The joint
research would lead to a linkage map of the buffalo genome. The map will be used
for Marker Assisted Selection of the buffalo for economic traits.
4.8.8
Animal Nutrition & feed technology
4.8.8.1
NDDB continued to provide advisory services to cooperative cattle feed
plants to ensure the production of balanced cattle feed as per BIS specifications.
31
The services included quality testing of raw materials and finished products,
providing technical advice to cattle feed plants and training their personnel in plant
operations, quality control aspects and least cost computerised feed formulation.
4.8.8.2 NDDB has standardised the technology and process to produce bypass
protein meal. Efforts are on to set up bypass protein plants in different parts of the
country for commercial production of bypass protein feed.
4.8.8.3 Extension activities are being undertaken by NDDB through its regional and
state offices along with the field staff of dairy cooperative unions/federations to
popularise the concept of ration balancing to reduce cost of milk production.
Computer software to compute ration for dairy animals using locally available raw
material resources is being developed by NDDB, for use at the village level.
4.8.9
Animal Health
4.8.9.1
NDDB endeavoured to reduce the incidence of enzootic and epizootic
diseases in animals by facilitating the cooperative milk unions to implement
measures like first aid, deworming and intensive vaccination against foot and mouth
disease, haemorrhagic septicaemia, black quarter and anthrax.
NDDB also
facilitated the unions to undertake Mastitis Control Programmes and Brucellosis
Control Programmes. The foot and mouth disease control project for the state of
Kerala is in the final stage of planning and would be jointly implemented by the
Government of Kerala and NDDB.
4.8.9.2 The experimental batches of Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis vaccine
developed by NDDB are undergoing trials. The existing vaccine, Brucella abortus S19, used for brucellosis control the world over has limitations of being applicable only
to female calves and at times, leading to diagnostic ambiguity. Attempts are being
made to develop a brucellosis vaccine by identifying and passaging rough mutant of
Brucella abortus.
4.8.10
Managing Quality
4.8.10.1
For improving the quality of milk from dairy cooperative societies,
initiatives were taken up at the village level in house keeping, sanitation and society
management, besides bulk milk chilling interventions and rapid transportation of milk
to dairy plants. Milk producers, DCS secretaries and management committee
members as well as transporters were given orientation in clean milk production
practices.
4.8.10.2
During the year about 7000 more village level cooperative societies
were covered under the clean milk production programme, taking the cumulative
total to 19,000. Besides, around 100 bulk milk coolers, 2215 automatic milk
collection units and 2000 electronic fat testers were installed and commissioned at
the village level cooperative societies.
4.8.10.3
Efforts to achieve plant efficiency through energy management
programmes and bring about improvement in plant operations with focus on plant
32
hygiene and sanitation continued during the year. So far, 70 dairy and cattle feed
plants have obtained ISO certification, 54 dairy plants have HACCP and five have
Environment Management certifications. Energy conservation activities have been
undertaken in dairy plants of milk unions in Karnataka, Kerala, Punjab and Rajasthan
to bring about savings in energy bills.
4.8.11
Building a National Information Network
4.8.11.1
During the year, the Internet based Dairy Information System was
streamlined and made more user friendly to facilitate unions to upload data in the
system at a faster pace.
4.8.11.2
NDDB has prepared a uniform village specific database covering 55
milksheds, 84 districts, over 70,000 villages and 140 lakh households in the 10
states that were included under a special project for village enumeration. After
analysis of this database, a synthesis report was prepared highlighting important
parameters like milk production, consumption, surplus availability, ownership equity
of milch animal population and classification of villages according to production and
disposition of surplus.
4.8.12
DGIS Orientation & Implementation
4.8.12.1
Dairy Geographical Implementation System (DGIS) was implemented
in seven cooperative milk unions: Bhagirathi, West Bengal; Moradabad and
Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh; Bhilwara, Rajasthan; Nalgonda, Andhra Pradesh; Shimoga
and Bangalore, Karnataka. This included the complex tasks of digitising the location
of the village procurement societies, chilling centres/dairy plants as well as milk
procurement routes in the milksheds. The village enumeration data was also
integrated into the system. Further, training was given to union staff in analysis of
monthly milk procurement data of unions obtained through the DGIS.
4.8.13
Projects
4.8.13.1
NDDB continued to provide technical assistance to various cooperative
milk unions across the country to add new processing infrastructure as well as
expand and upgrade the existing facilities on turnkey or consultancy basis.
4.8.13.2
Till December 2003, nine turnkey projects and two consultancy projects
were completed. Notable among them were expansion of Kolar Dairy from 200 to
250 tlpd capacity, expansion of Manipal Dairy from 20 to 50 tlpd capacity, a new
dairy of 100 tlpd capacity at Islampur for Walwa Union and 16 combined (milk and
fruit & vegetable) shops for Mother Dairy Fruit & Vegetable Ltd, Delhi.
4.8.14
Product Development
4.8.14.1
During the year, work was initiated to standardise the processing
parameters of indigenous products: palada payasam and makhana kheer.
Technology for long life paneer was transferred to the Jaipur Milk Union, Rajasthan.
New varieties of ice creams – in cup, stick, cone and extruded form – were
standardised and launched in the Delhi market through Mother Dairy, Delhi. The
33
formulation and processing parameters for manufacture of natural fruit based milk
drink were also standardised.
4.8.14.2
NDDB’s collaborative research efforts with the Indian Institute of
Technology, Kharagpur for development of mechanised chhana and sandesh
production lines; with the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai for rasogolla
manufacture line and with the National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal for making
starter cultures and bio preservatives continued during the year.
4.8.14.3
NDDB has also designed a medium size, handy and low cost milk
adulteration detection kit suitable for use at village level milk collection centres for
detection of five most commonly used adulterants in milk: urea, starch, neutralisers,
sugar and salt.
4.8.15
Marketing Support
4.8.15.1
NDDB’s milk drop campaign for creation of an umbrella identity for
associated cooperative milk brands was further strengthened and extended to new
unions and dairies during the year. As many as 74 cooperative milk unions and
dairies in 16 states and one union territory are part of the campaign. With 18 major
cooperative brands under its fold, the campaign now covers around 53 per cent of
the liquid milk sales by cooperatives.
4.8.15.2
During the year, an assistance of Rs 7.5 crore was given to milk unions
for milk drop and brand building activities. Technical support was provided to dairy
cooperatives to upgrade their marketing systems and equip them to meet the
challenges of growing competition.
4.8.16
Dairy Cooperative Societies: Organisation and Membership
4.8.16.1
By September 2003, about 1,05,245 (cumulative) dairy cooperative
societies were organised with about 116.2 lakh (cumulative) farmer members.
4.8.17
Milk Procurement and Marketing
4.8.17.1 The average milk procurement during April-October 2003 was 155.95 lakh
kg per day. During 2003-04 (April-October), an average of about 149.02 lakh litres of
milk per day was marketed as against 137.9 lakh litres per day during the
corresponding period last year.

5.1.2
In the marine sector fishing is
predominantly a fishermen oriented activity. However, women have played an
important role in the fisheries sector, and in the emerging scenario of fisheries and
aquaculture development, they have a much larger role to play. Women represent
the largest workforce in terms of number, engaged in fish vending, net making and
processing. Women are also engaged in the processing, marketing and allied
activities. The concerted efforts are being made to extend assistance to fishermen
cooperatives under various schemes and programmes being implemented by the
Department. Efforts are also being made to enhance enrollment of fisherwomen with
the fishery cooperative societies to enable them to avail benefits under various
schemes/programmes of the Department.
5.2
Thrust Areas
5.2.1
Fisheries is a State subject and as such the primary responsibility for
development rests with the State Governments. The major thrust in fisheries
development has been on optimizing production and productivity, augmenting export
of marine products, generating employment and improving welfare of fishermen and
their socio-economic status.
5.2.2
For achieving accelerated growth and enhancing production and
productivity of fish and marine products, 17 plan schemes were implemented during
9th Plan. The two schemes namely, Assistance to Coast Guard and World Bank
Aided Project on Shrimp and Fish Culture were discontinued after 9th Plan on the
recommendation of the Planning Commission. It has been decided to merge the
remaining schemes into six major schemes for Tenth Plan as a sequel to the Zero
39
Based Budget exercise for convergence/ merging/ macro-management and on the
recommendations of the Working Group on Fisheries. National Scheme on Welfare
of Fishermen and Central Sector Scheme on Training and Extension are now being
implemented. The Scheme on Inland Fisheries Statistics has been revised and
renamed as Strengthening of Database and Information Networking for the Tenth
Plan. The existing schemes on Development of Freshwater Aquaculture and
Establishment of Fishing Harbours and Fish Landing Centres, which are being
merged with other components under macro-management mode, are also being
continued during the current year. The on-going six schemes are as follows: 1.

Development of Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture
5.3.1.
The ongoing Centrally Sponsored Schemes of i) Development of
Freshwater Aquaculture and ii) Integrated Coastal Aquaculture have been combined
with four new components and renamed as "Development of Inland Fisheries and
Aquaculture". The scheme has the following components:a)
b)
c)
Development of Freshwater Aquaculture
Development of Brackishwater Aquaculture
Development of Coldwater Fisheries and Aquaculture in the Hilly
Regions
d)
Development of Water-logged Areas into Aquaculture Estates
e)
Utilization of Inland Saline/Alkaline Soils for Aquaculture
f)
Inland Capture Fisheries (Reservoirs/Rivers etc.)
5.3.2.
The aforesaid scheme has been approved by the Expenditure Finance
Committee (EFC) and approval of Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA)
is being solicited.
5.3.3 Development of Freshwater Aquaculture
5.3.3.1
Development of freshwater aquaculture is one of the most important
production oriented programmes of the Government of India being implemented by
the States/UTs as a centrally sponsored scheme through Fish Farmers Development
Agencies (FFDAs) from 1973-74 onwards. The main objectives of the Scheme are
to popularize fish farming, creating employment opportunities, diversifying
aquaculture practices and provide assistance to fish farmers with a view to create a
cadre of trained and well organised fish farmers with a view to create a cadre of
trained and well organized fish farmers fully engaged in aquaculture.
5.3.3.2
A network of 429 Fish Farmers’ Development Agencies (FFDAs) have
been sanctioned for establishment under this programme covering all the potential
districts in all the States and Union Territory of Pondicherry. Most of the FFDAs
40
operate at district level and some at regional/State level where the district level
resources are inadequate.
5.3.3.3
In order to boost inland fish production, assistance in the form of
subsidy is given to the fish farmers for construction of new ponds,
reclamation/renovation of ponds and tanks, first year inputs (fish seed, fish feed,
fertilizers, manures, etc.), integrated fish farming, running water fish culture,
establishment of fish seed hatcheries and fish feed mills, etc. Assistance is also
given to progressive fish farmers for purchase of aerators to further enhance the
productivity of fish. Subsidy for the above-mentioned activities is given at the higher
rates to fish farmers of scheduled tribes/scheduled castes. Subsidy also provided for
freshwater prawn seed hatchery, laboratory, soil & water testing kits, integrated units
for ornamental fish, transportation of seed in hilly areas. The expenditure towards
developmental activities is being shared on 75:25 basis between the Government of
India and State/UT Governments whereas entire administrative expenditure is met
by the State/UT Governments.
5.3.3.4
During 2002-03, additional area brought under fish culture was about
22,979 ha (provisional). Fishers trained in improved practices were about 27,210
numbers (provisional) during the same period and the scheme has benefited about
37,045 (provisional) persons. During 2003-04, additional area of 30,000 ha and
training of 20,000 fishers is the target under the programme. Due to introduction of
improved technology of fish farming and the efforts of FFDAs, the national average
productivity of ponds and tanks covered under the programme is about 2200
kg/ha/annum.
5.3.4
Development of Brackishwater Aquaculture
5.3.4.1
A centrally sponsored scheme on Integrated Coastal Aquaculture for the
development of brackishwater areas in the country was in operation during the Ninth
Plan. The scheme was discontinued in the beginning of the Tenth Plan on the
advice of the Planning Commission. However, considering the importance of the
brackishwater fishery resources, it has been decided to continue the programme as
one of the components under the macro-management during Tenth Plan, as
indicated above.
5.3.4.2
With a view to provide technical, financial and extension support to
shrimp farmers in the small scale sector, 39 Brackishwater Fish Farmers
Development Agencies (BFDAs) have been sanctioned in all the coastal states and
the UT of Andaman & Nicobar Islands. During 2002-03, an additional area brought
under shrimp culture was about 570 ha (provisional). Fishers trained in improved
practices of shrimp culture were about 340 numbers (provisional) during the same
period. The performance of the scheme was tardy due to legal intervention
(Supreme Court Judgement of December, 1996) prohibiting non-traditional shrimp
culture activities within the Costal Regulation Zone i.e. 500 m from the high tide line.
The matter is still sub-judice. During 2003-04, an additional area of 2000 ha and
training of 1000 fishers is the target under the programme.
41
5.3.4.3
To address the problems of disease and health management, it is
proposed to set up disease diagnostic laboratories and quarantine facilities in the
country during Tenth Plan.
5.3.5
Aquaculture Authority Bill 2000
5.3.5.1
The Aquaculture Authority Bill 2000 intended for development of the
coastal aquaculture as an environment friendly and sustainable activity and providing
for the Aquaculture Authority was introduced in the Rajya Sabha and was referred to
the Standing Committee on Agriculture for examination and report. The Standing
Committee has submitted its report to the Parliament on 4th December 2000. As per
the recommendations made by the Parliamentary Standing Committee and
considering the suggestions from various quarters, the amended bill is under
consideration of Department of Legal Affairs for their concurrence.
5.3.6
New Components
5.3.6.1
In order to augment fish production and promote aquaculture, four pilot
projects on i) Development of Coldwater Fisheries and Aquaculture in the Hilly
Regions; ii) Development of Water-logged Areas into Aquaculture Estates; iii)
Utilization of Inland Saline/Alkaline Soils for Aquaculture; and iv) Inland Capture
Fisheries (Reservoirs/Rivers etc.) were taken up with 100% central assistance in the
states of Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Sikkim, Uttaranchal, Bihar,
Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh during the terminal year of
the Ninth Plan. Concerned ICAR Institutes and respective State Governments were
involved in implementation of the projects. An amount of Rs. 659.35 lakh was
released to the State Governments under the above pilot projects.
5.3.6.2
Considering the importance of aforesaid inland fishery resources in the
country, it has been decided to continue these programmes as regular components
under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme on Development of Inland Fisheries and
Aquaculture during the Tenth Five Year Plan.

been proposed for implementation. The total outlay for the 10 th Plan proposed is Rs.
13 crores.
5.4.2 Reimbursement of Central Excise Duty on HSD Oil supplied to
mechanised fishing vessel below 20M length
5.4.2.1
This Scheme was introduced from 1990-91 onwards with a view to help
the small mechanised fishing owners/operators to bring down the operational cost of
their vessels and thereby to encourage them to increase the fishing days, fish catch
and income. The cost of central excise duty on HSD oil @ Rs.351.75 per KL is fully
subsidized under the scheme which is shared on 80:20 basis between the Centre
and States and met fully by the Centre in the case of States which have exempted
sale tax fully on HSD oil and UTs. A sum of Rs.673.84 lakhs was released under the
scheme during 2001-02 towards Central share of reimbursement cost to benefit
about 18000 small-mechanised fishing vessels below 20M under the scheme.
5.4.2.2
A Scheme called Fishermen Development Rebate on HSD has been
proposed in the 10th Plan with an outlay of Rs.100 crores. The EFC has approved
the scheme on Development of Marine fisheries, Infrastructure and Post Harvest
operations and approval of CCEA is being solicited.
5.4.3 Enforcement of Marine Fishing Regulation Act – acquisition of patrol
boats

CHAPTER - 6
TRADE MATTERS
6.1
Regulation of Import of Livestock Products
6.1.1 In order to evolve a suitable mechanism for regulating import and monitoring
the sanitary and food safety aspect, Government of India amended the Livestock
Importation Act, 1898 under which import of all livestock products are allowed
against Sanitary Import Permits (SIP) which are issued after conducting risk analysis
with regard to the disease status of the exporting country, in accordance to the
International Scientific principles and guidelines of OIE.
6.1.2 The Department issued following Notifications under the provision of section 3
and section 3A of the said Act: 
Notification No. 655 (E) dated 7th July 2001 indicating the requirement of
sanitary Import permit and the procedure for the import of following livestock
products, including: i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.

CHAPTER 7
SPECIAL COMPONENT PLAN (SCP) AND TRIBAL SUB-PLAN (TSP)
7.1
Allocation of separate funds for Special Component Plan and Tribal Sub-Plan
is not feasible in view of the specific nature of activities/schemes, which are being
implemented by this Department. The Department is not directly implementing any
beneficiary oriented programmes, where separate allocations have to be made for
this sector. However, wherever possible, efforts have been made for providing
maximum coverage to SCs/STs. Under Central Minikit Distribution Programme, there
is a provision of distribution of fodder seed minikits, and undertaking demonstration
on 25% fields belonging to SCs/STs farmers. Under Foot and Mouth Disease Control
Programme, there is a provision of utilization of 20% of Central grant for vaccination
of animals belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. Similarly under the
scheme of Development of Freshwater Aquaculture there is a provision of providing
enhanced subsidy assistance to SC/ST population under various component
activities like construction of new fish ponds, renovation/reclamation of ponds, first
year inputs, integrated fish farming etc.
7.2
The State Governments have, however, been requested to separately
allocate funds for the above activities while formulating their State Plans.
