36. ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION
All Districts may be covered under NFSM-Wheat for increasing wheat production
Development of Yellow Rust Resistant and Terminal Heat Tolerant varieties of wheat & frost resistant varieties of Mustard.
Funds under NFSM –Wheat and Pulses should be released timely.
State may be allowed to utilize funds for SC category farmers in proportion to their share in the farming community i.e. about 2.5%.
Subsidy on Wheat Certified Seed should be increased from Rs.500/- to Rs.700/- qtl.
Under MMA funds have been released under the category of ST farmers during & These funds may be diverted or allowed to be utilized for general category as there is no ST farmer in the State.
