Agriculture is a âState Subjectâ under the
Constitution of India. Union Govt supplements
the efforts of State Govt.
All States Except Bihar and Kerala, have their
respective APMC (Agricultural Produce and
Marketing Committeesâ Act to regulate
agricultural Produce sale.
There are 6,500 Agricultural Mandis across the
country. The Number symbolizes Agri-Market
fragmentation impacting mobility and Prices.
Small Farmersâ Agribusiness Consortium
(SFAC) is operating the NAM

ď˘Aim was to attract private investment in
constructing market yards and creating
the post-harvest value chain comprising
cold stores, warehouses and logistics
infrastructure.
ď˘Act provides for

ď˘ Material flow (agriculture produce) continue to
happen through mandis, an online market reduces
transaction costs and information asymmetry.
ď˘ Department of Agriculture, Cooperation & Farmersâ
Welfare (DAC&FW) is meeting expenses on
software and its customisation for the States and is
providing it free of cost.
ď˘ DAC&FW is also giving a grant as one time fixed

for selling their produce and competitive

NAM will enable direct participation in the
local mandi trade, reducing intermediation
cost.

25. IS MNREGA HARMFUL TO THE INTERESTS
OF FARMERS ?
ď˘ The most prominent accusation is that MNREGA has led
to a shortage of workers available for farm work, and
hence, increased agricultural wages.
ď˘ It is alleged that this has resulted in an increased
production costs, and has made farming difficult and
unviable (Murthy and Mishra 2012).
BUT
ď˘ MNREGA participation is higher in villages where there
are fewer landless households.
ď˘ A major part of asset creation under MNREGA has been
for the benefit of small and marginal farm holdings,
particularly Scheduled Castes/ Scheduled Tribes (SC/
ST)

26. STANDING COMMITTEEON RURAL
DEVELOPMENT
ď˘ Ensuring livelihood for people in rural areas.
ď˘ Large scale participation of women, Scheduled
Castes and Scheduled Tribes (SCs/STs) and other
traditionally marginalised sections of
society. SCs/STs account for 51% of the total
person-days generated and women account for
47% of the total person-days generated.
ď˘ Increasing the wage rate in rural areas and
strengthening the rural economy through the
creation of infrastructure assets.
ď˘ Facilitating sustainable development, and
ď˘ Strengthening PRIs by involving them in the
planning and monitoring of the scheme. 26

27. ISSUES IN IMPLEMENTATION OF SCHEME:
STANDING COMMITTEE
ď˘ Fabrication of job cards: While as many as 12.5 crore households
have been issued job cards out of an estimated 13.8 crore rural
households ( as per the 2001 census), there are several issues related to
existence of fake job cards, inclusion of fictitious names, missing entries
and delays in making entries in job cards.
ď˘ Delay in payment of wages: Most states have failed to disburse wages
within 15 days as mandated by MGNREGA. In addition, workers are not
compensated for a delay in payment of wages.
ď˘ Non payment of unemployment allowances: Most states do not pay
an unemployment allowance when work is not given on demand. The
non-issuance of dated receipts of demanded work prevents workers from
claiming an unemployment allowance.
ď˘ Large number of incomplete works: There has been a delay in the
completion of works under MGNREGA and inspection of projects has
been irregular. Implementing agencies were able to complete only 98
lakh works out of 296 lakh works. As Table 2 shows, a large percentage
of works remain incomplete under MGNREGA and the work completion
rate appears to be decreasing in recent years.

The main flaws of the NAIS are the goal of financial viability, its mandatory nature, its failure to address adverse selection, arbitrary premiums, and the area approach/
The Comprehensive Crop Insurance Scheme, predecessor to the NAIS, was implemented for 15 years, from Kharif 1985 to Kharif 1999
