ORDER:
Government of India have formulated a new scheme – “National Mission for
Sustainable Agriculture” (NMSA) with effect from 2014-15 ,which has been
designed by converging, consolidating and subsuming all the ongoing as well as
newly proposed activities / programmes related to sustainable agriculture with
a special emphasis on Soil and Water Conservation; Water Use Efficiency through
On Farm Water Management (OFWM) i.e. Micro Irrigation; Soil Health Management
and Rain Fed Area Development.
2. The
existing National Mission on Micro Irrigation(NMMI) Scheme implemented upto
2013-14 was subsumed into NMSA from 2014-15 onwards.
Under
the NMMI Scheme, the Government has been implementing AP Micro Irrigation
Programme (APMIP) till 2013-14, based on the guidelines issued vide G.O. 1st
read above.
3. The
Government of India
have approved the Action Plan for On Farm Water management (OFWM) - Micro
Irrigation, under NMSA for the year
2014-15, vide reference 8th read above.
4. Certain,
representations were received from the APMIP Micro Irrigation (MI) Companies
Committee addressed to the Government and to the Commissioner of Horticulture
from time to time, as per the references 3rd read above, requesting
for Price Revision of Micro Irrigation (MI) unit costs adopted for this
Programme, stating that the last upward Price Revision was done during the year
2006 and eight years have elapsed since then, whereas price of the raw
materials and other administrative costs had increased manifold during these
years. The Commissioner of Horticulture
in his letters in the references 4th, 5th and 9th
read above, requested the Government for issue of necessary orders regarding
Price Revision of the MI unit costs to be adopted for this Programme in the
State. The representations of the APMIP
MI Companies Committee were examined in depth by the Sub-Committee formed by
the State Micro Irrigation Committee (SMIC) (under NMMI) and by the Technical
Committee as per the NMMI guidelines, with due comparison of the rates existing
in the other States also. It was also observed
that the Government of India
vide reference 2nd read above had formed a Committee to review the
cost norms of the ongoing scheme of NMMI and to suggest revision of norms, if
required. Accordingly, the Government
of India issued fresh indicative costs for the MI unit costs, for the OFWM
under NMSA, in their fresh guidelines issued for NMSA in February, 2014, which
revised the indicative MI unit costs under NMMI, which were issued by the
Government of India in November, 2010.
5. The proposals of the Sub-Committee
(formed by SMIC) mentioned above, based on their meeting held on 25.2.2013 were
placed by the Commissioner of Horticulture in the SMIC meeting held on
11.3.2013 and the SMIC suggested to submit the proposals to the Government for
consideration. Meanwhile, based on the
examination of these proposals at the Government level, certain issues were
raised and clarifications requested by the Government, in the memos mentioned
in the references 6th read above.
Accordingly, the Commissioner of Horticulture placed the proposals
before the Technical Committee formed under NMMI guidelines, on 06.03.2014 and
17.4.2014 and furnished proposals to the Government vide Lr. No: APMIP/98/2014,
dt. 13.08.2014.
6. The Government made a detailed analysis
of the proposals received from the Commissioner of Horticulture and compared
with NMMI and NMSA costs. It was observed that the Government of India had
given 15% increase for the NMSA on their MI indicative costs of the NMMI. Therefore, a detailed comparison was made
between our existing APMIP costs, NMSA costs, the costs proposed by the
Technical Committee held on 17.4.2014 and with
other States such as Gujarat Green Revolution Company Ltd.(GGRC), which had
revised their prices in December, 2013.
7. The MI Companies in their various
references, as mentioned in the references 3rd read above, requested
for various percentages of hikes from time to time and in their latest letter
dt.15.09.2014, they requested various methods for calculating the hike such as
taking the variable current costs or average costs of raw material for one year
i.e. 2013-14 or latest 6 months hike from April, 2014 to September, 2014.
However, on an average, by adopting any of these methods, the increase
requested by them, ranged from 59% to 66% on the existing APMIP unit
costs.
8. Finally, the Government have decided to
adopt 15% increase (on the lines of the Government of India) on our existing
APMIP costs to arrive at the revised MI unit costs for OFWM under NMSA and in a
few cases, recommendations of the Technical Committee or NMSA indicative costs
are also adopted, wherever they are less than 15% increase.
9. The Government hereby order the price
revision of the MI unit costs, on the existing APMIP costs, as per the Annexure
enclosed to this order, for the implementation of the OFWM under NMSA in the
State. Based on these revised MI unit
costs, the Commissioner of Horticulture is directed to place the matter before
the State Standing Technical Committee (SSTC) under NMSA guidelines, for
finalizing the component wise revision of prices and issue detailed guidelines
for OFWM, under NMSA, to be implemented in the State, immediately.
10. The Commissioner of Horticulture, Andhra
Pradesh, Hyderabad
shall take further necessary action in the matter accordingly.
