Important Issues l l l l l Development of Chendipada Coal Block, jointly allocated to the three States, hampered as due to one or other reason SPV not yet formed - Coal Block should be allocated to Uttar Pradesh exclusively. Allocation of Power from Central Sector Station to the State has no relevance with reference to, Area and Population of State – needs more emphasis on population. 15% Unallocated Share of central undertakings being allocated by Mo. P needs allocation according to Demand Availability of Power in the State in corresponding to population and size of the State. The rural electrification scheme of Mazras– Mo. P / REC to review the scheme of Uttar Pradesh and issue sanction. Proposal of Uttar Pradesh for Rs. 5892 crore submitted. Only Sultanpur and Rae-bareily have been sanctioned. Recovery of Cost by Central generating Station on the basis of Parameters rather than on Actuals- should be revised so that burden of State Discoms and consumers is reduced. Guidelines for 100% funding of APDRP II be considered for immediate implementation to achieve target for completion of APDRP schemes covering 232 towns of 30000 or more population having total population of more than 3. 5 crore which require funds of Rs. 1300 crore. 4000 MW power project at Lalitpur in joint sector with NTPC needs to be expedited. The expansion of capacity of Narora Atomic Plant from present 2 x 220 MW to 2 x 700 MW was raised by Uttar Pradesh. Government of India informed that the matter was examined and Department of Atomic Energy has found the present site suitable. It needs urgent finalization for earliest execution. The project of 6480 MW capacity on river Sharda(Mahakali) power house at Pancheshwar and 10800 MW power generation project at river Ghaghra(Karnali) near Cheesapani (Nepal), which promise benefits of irrigation, power and flood control to the State need to be pursued at the level of Government of India with the 31 Government of Nepal for speedy approval and execution.

In this project 90% grant has been assumed

ISSUES As per guide-lines of A. I. B. P. , projects benefitting drought prone areas or flood prone areas are eligible for central grant @ 90% of project cost. Bundelkhand Vindhyanchal region of U. P. is a drought prone area. Similarly North-eastern parts of U. P. , especially those bordering Nepal are prone to recurrent floods. Therefore, irrigation projects benefitting these areas should qualify for central grant @ 90% instead of 25% as at present. l There is a need to improve the flood forecasting and warning system with more hydro-meteorological stations in Nepalese territory and speed up the pending Indo-Nepal joint multi-purpose projects l 34

Roads & Bridges

ROADS & BRIDGES l l l l l State has 162893 Kms road against 290973 km of road length including earthen tracks.

For construction of 100 major bridges – Rs 545 Cr. 37

ISSUES v v Project for 477 kms Indo-Nepal border roads pending with Ministry of Home ( Rs 900 Cr) NHAI Act has no provision for solatium or negotiation with farmers. NHAI has not adopted 2007 rehabilitation policy of Go. I. NH roads are poorly maintained due to paucity of funds. Diesel cess should be allocated for upgradation of NH roads. Approximately 98 ROB proposals pending with Ministry of Railways for 50: 50 cost sharing. 38

Animal Husbandry - Constraints & Strategies Low productivity of livestock & lack of sufficient breeding coverage. § Increased coverage by artificial insemination from 27% to 30% and improvement of poultry breeds. § Invoke PPP projects. Inadequate availability of feed and fodder. § Ensuring better quality seed production and distribution system. § Rectifying imbalances in Bundelkhand Purvanchal. Low coverage of animal health, limited facility of disease surveillance and diagnostic network. § Establishing 400 new veterinary hospitals to add to 1782 existing ones. § Establishing 9 new disease diagnostic laboratories to add to 10 existing ones. § Reduction of infertility by administration of medicines. Lack of adequate training programmes & poor livestock extension. • Strengthening veterinary education, training and skill upgradation facilities through University of Veterinary Sciences. • Strengthening of R&D laboratories at the Directorate and university 49 level.

Dairy Development • Highest Milk Production in the country, biggest single farm commodity by value. • Milk Production 187. 82 Lakh MT, which is roughly 18% of the total production in country. • Only 28% of marketable surplus is handled by organised sectorØ 120 plants in private sector (Capacity 119. 54 Lakh Lit. ) handled 23. 5% of surplus milk. Ø 52 plants in cooperative sector (Capacity 17. 50 Lakh Lit. ) handled only 4. 5% of marketable surplus. 50

Major Initiatives • Programme of automation and development of infrastructure facilities will continue in 2008 -09. 2308 AMCU and 230 BMC’s are proposed to be installed in 2008 -09 • A new scheme “Ambedkar Dairy Development Self Employment Scheme” will be implemented from 200809 with outlay of Rs. 200 Crore. The scheme will help increase in milk production as well as self employment. 51

COOPERATION - ISSUES FOR CONSIDERATION • Consequent upon declaration of loan waiver scheme by Go. I, flow of funds in form of recoveries from the farmers has almost choked. Therefore, Go. I is requested to: I. release an amount of Rs. 5329 Crore (1607 ST + 3722 LT) required by cooperative banks of the state to write off the loans of small & marginal farmers under Go. I debt waiver and debt relief scheme before 15 th June 2008 to ensure smooth flow of credit to farmers. II. IV. restructure the loan due for repayment to NABARD by State Cooperative Banks for three years. sanction separate line of credit in addition to normal cash credit for financing loan waiver scheme beneficiaries. enhance the level of NABARD refinance from 35% to 75% so as to overcome the liquidity crunch of the Co-operative Banks. 52

Contd… • • Interest rate on refinance by NABARD should be reduced to 2. 5% from the current rate of 3. 5% and restrict it to the level of 2. 5% for the coming years also. Interest subsidy on crop loan should be released well in time as the claims pertaining to the year 2007 - 08 are pending at NABARD level. Scope of interest subsidy scheme should be extended to medium term conversion loan as well as for the loans extended to farmers for other agriculture and allied activities. Farmers should be provided crop loan at 4% interest rate and interest subsidy required should be provided by Government of India as state government is not in a position to meet the above burden from own resources. Funds required during the residual year of 11 th Five Year Plan stands at Rs. 648. 82 Crore. 53
