Agriculture Sector
Extension of "Krishi Bhagya" to all talukas

of Coastal and Malnad areas (excluding
command areas)
"Karnataka Raitha Suraksha Pradhana
Mantri Phasal Bhima Yojane" - to cover
31.5 lakhs hectares.
Distribution of drip and sprinkler irrigation
units at 90% and 50% subsidy of land upto
5 hectares respectively for judicious and efficient use of water.
Establishment of additional 250 centers of "Krishi Yantradhare Programme"
To supply farm and agriculture equipment to the farmers on a rental basis.
The state government plans to open Krishi Yantra Dhare centres at hobli level in the
state.
The objective of the scheme is to rent out agriculture and farm equipment at
cheaper price
Charitable Trusts, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and farm equipment
manufacturing companies can set up Krishi Yantra Dhare centres at hobli level.
About Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana
There will be a uniform premium of only 2% to be paid by farmers for all Kharif crops
and 1.5% for all Rabi crops. In case of annual commercial and horticultural crops, the
premium to be paid by farmers will be only 5%.
The premium rates to be paid by farmers are very low and balance premium
will be paid by the Government to provide full insured amount to the farmers
against crop loss on account of natural calamities.
There is no upper limit on Government subsidy. Even if balance premium is 90%, it will
be borne by the Government.
Earlier, there was a provision of capping the premium rate which resulted in low claims
being paid to farmers. This capping was done to limit Government outgo on the
premium subsidy. This capping has now been removed and farmers will get claim
against full sum insured without any reduction.
The use of technology will be encouraged to a great extent. Smart phones will be used
to capture and upload data of crop cutting to reduce the delays in claim payment to
farmers. Remote sensing will be used to reduce the number of crop cutting
experiments.
The new Crop Insurance Scheme is in line with One Nation One Scheme theme. It
incorporates the best features of all previous schemes and at the same time, all
previous shortcomings/weaknesses have been removed.

Custom-hiring centres to rent out farm machinery
The State government is set to launch a Rs. 70-crore scheme to provide custom-hiring
of agricultural machinery at affordable rents to farmers to make up for the shortage of
farm labour.
Each rural Assembly constituency will get one such custom-hiring centre to begin with.
Later, centres would be located at all hoblis.
Under the scheme, which is based on public-private-partnership model, the
government and the operator of the custom-hiring centre will together invest Rs. 75
lakh in two years to buy the farm machinery including tractors, tillers, cultivators and
diggers.
Hobli-level committees, comprising local farmers, would advise the proposed centres
on the farm machinery needed.
It would depend on the local requirements and cropping pattern, besides prescribing
the rent for each machine.
About Krishi Bhagya:
It is a flagship project of Karnataka State, where in the main object is to improve rainfed
agriculture scenario through efficient management of rain water and enhancing farm
productivity.
The scheme has different components such as insitu moisture conservation, construction
of water harvesting structures and providing micro irrigation system.
Under horticulture component, poly house construction and cultivation of crops in open
field are taken up.

As per the National Forest Policy, 33% of the Geographical area must be tree cover. To
achieve the goal the Department is implementing various afforestation programmes. Since
the target of afforestation is very high, greening must be done through a revolution. This can
be achieved successfully by voluntarily of farmers, public and NGOs.
To enlist the cooperation of farmers and general public in the noble task of increasing tree
cover, the Krishi Aranya Protsaha Yojane, the State governments scheme has launched from
the year 2011. As per the guidelines of the programme, the farmers, public and NGOs may
obtain the seedlings at subsidized rates at nearest nurseries of the department and
incentives are given to farmers to encourage them to grow native tree species on their
lands.
The department provided Rs. 10 as incentive for each seedling that survived. Evaluation of
the seedlings would be done by the respective forest officers. A sum of Rs. 15 and Rs. 20 per
seedling was paid as incentive to farmers in the second and third year respectively.

Janatha Bazar generic drug stores
To make available affordable drugs to the poor patients in the state.

The initiative is on similar lines of the Department of Pharmaceuticals (DoP)'s Jan Aushadhi
generic stores which was launched in 2008 to make available affordable drugs to the poor
patients.
The state government has decided to sell generic drugs at 50 per cent discount on maximum
retail price by opening up the generic drugs stores across hospitals coming under the medical
education department
The first of this store was opened at the Victoria Hospital, the oldest government medical centre
in the state.
The state drugs control department will carry out surprise inspections on similar lines of its
operations being conducted at the 25,000 pharmacy outlets across Karnataka.
The drugs which are being made available at the outlets will be for all diseases and disorders
covering asthma, anti hyper tension, cancer, cardiology, nephrology, ophthalmology,
dermatology and Parkinson's disease
The Janatha Bazar generic drug stores will sell medicines at 50 per cent of the MRP. This move
would be a boon to the general public especially the poor patients.
The stores would not just offer 50 per cent discount on MRP for generics but also for branded
drugs, life saving drugs, orthopaedics accessories and cardiac implants.
Following projects to be taken up under National Health Mission (NHM)

What is Anna Bhagya Scheme
Under Anna Bhagya Scheme, Karnataka government has distributed food grains to the below
poverty line (BPL) families at free of cost in the state.
Schemes Objectives
The main motto of this scheme is to provide rice free of cost for people who belong to

they do not have enough money to purchase food grains at market rates. This is a very
noble initiative taken by Karnataka Government for helping poor and deprived families to
provide them food grains

About Hyderabad Karnataka Regional Development Board.
By amendment to the constitution of India, Article 371(j) was inserted into the constitution in
2013 and the HKRDB was set up by the HKRDB order 2013.
Jurisdiction: The jurisdiction of the Board is spread over 40 assembly constituencies (after the
recent delimitation of constituencies) of Bidar, Bellary, Kalaburagi, Koppal, Raichur and Yadgir
districts.
The mission of the HKRDB is to achieve rapid inclusive growth and balanced regional
development with social justice for the six districts coming under Hyderabad Karnataka Region.
The vision is to achieve this through Macro and Micro level planning by filling the historical
developmental gaps in such a way that the centres of growth and the peripheries develop in
tandems and in an interdependent manner. The HKRDB has adopted the Taluka as a unit, taking
guidance from the Dr. Nanjundappa Report on Redressal of regional Imbalance. Funds for
Micro Projects (60%) are allocated proportionate to the CDI (Comprehensive Deprivation Index)
for that Taluka and must be spent on critical Infrastructure and institutional gaps. For Macro
Projects (40%) funds are allocated sector wise by the Board, to fill gaps in Macro sectors
identified according to scale or scope or a combination of the two. 31
