RASHTRIYA KRISHI VIKAS YOJANA 

                

 The new central assistance scheme Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana was launched by Govt. of India during 2007-08 to incentives states to draw up plans for their agriculture sector more comprehensively, taking agro-climatic conditions, natural resource and technology into account and integrating livestock, poultry and fisheries fully. The RKVY aims at achieving 4% annual growth in the agriculture sector during the XI Plan period, by ensuring a holistic development of Agriculture and Allied Sectors.

RKVY is part of state plan and has two streams, Stream-I & Stream-II. Stream-I is project based and Stream-II is for strengthening of existing schemes and filling up of resource gap under State Plan. As per the guidelines of RKVY, State Level Sanctioning Committee (SLSC) has been constituted for sanctioning of Projects under Stream-I. At least one of the representatives of GOI has to be present in the meeting of the SLSC to complete the quorum of the meeting.

For Preparation of District Agriculture Plan of all the three districts of these islands, the contract has been awarded to NABCONS. Similarly, NABCONS has been engaged as the consultant for preparation of DPR for undertaking coastal aquaculture in sea water submerged paddy areas of South Andaman.

During the Current year of 2009-10, GOI has allocated Rs. 12.21 crore for RKVY to this UT. The second meeting of State Level sanctioning committee for RKVY has been held on 17.08.09 under the Chairmanship of the Chief Secretary, A&N administration. The action plan approved for 2009-10 is as follows:
