************************************************************************************************
National Conference of State Secretaries of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries on 14-15 November 2002.
(Text of Secretary (AH&D) speech)
1. It gives me
great pleasure extending a warm welcome to all of you at this National
Conference of Secretaries and this I extend in addition to the formal welcome
given by Shri Negi. All of
you are aware that this sector plays an important role in the National economy
and in socio - economic development of the country, supplementing family
incomes and generating gainful employment in the rural sector. Livestock assets
are particularly important among the landless, small and marginal farmers as
well as women. This is particularly true because distribution of assets in the
livestock sector is less skewed in terms of size of holding in comparison to
agriculture sector. Approximately 9.56 million persons are employed in this
sector as principle status of the employment. Another 7.86 million persons are
provided subsidiary status employment through this sector. This sector also
provides animal protein requirements (milk, eggs, meat and fish) to a large
human population, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. The value of output from
livestock and fisheries sectors together at current prices has been about Rs. 167,205 crores during
2000-2001 which forms about 30.3% of the value of output from total agriculture
and allied sectors which stood at about Rs. 561,717 crores, during the same period. The contribution of this
sector to GDP during 2000-2001 has been
6.7%. Therefore, the sector can be designated as most potential of the few
growth sectors of the agricultural economy. Investments made by the Government
in livestock and fisheries sectors resulted in significant increase in output
indicating hidden potential of these sectors.
2. In
consonance with the overall strategy of the 9th Plan, the major thrust of the
policies and activities of the Department was concentrated on control of animal
diseases creation of disease free zones, up-gradation of genetic resources,
increasing availability of nutritious feed and fodder, sustainable development
of fisheries and aquaculture, development of marketing and processing facilities
and enhancement of productivity and profitability of livestock and fishery
based enterprises. These activities took the form of 41 schemes, which were
implemented during the 9th Plan period.
3. By the time
the exercise to formulate the 10th Five Year Plan was initiated there has been
some concurrent developments. The Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying
(which includes fisheries as well) drew up a vision statement and an action
plan for implementation during a period stretching beyond the 10th Plan
period. I am given to understand that a
copy of this document has already been circulated to the participants to
facilitate a consonance of views on the `vision’. Meanwhile, there has been a
commitment to double food production and a resolve to banish hunger from the
country in a 10-year time frame. The Agriculture Policy Resolution was also
adapted at this juncture. As a sequel to the Agriculture Policy Resolution, a
National Livestock Policy is to be put in place, action towards which was
initiated quite sometimes back. I am told that the draft National Livestock
Policy adopts a holistic approach for integrated development of the livestock
sector and this document has also been circulated to the States. Since a
long-term vision and policy statement are imperative for sustained growth
projected for the sector, I expect you would deliberate on the vision document
as well as the draft policy so that the task of the Department is facilitated.
4. The
background note circulated to you gives an indication of a major shift in the
Department’s approach of management of Centrally Sponsored Schemes. Quite a
large number of schemes are proposed to be implemented in macro-management mode
in order to provide flexibility to the states in their adoption and implementation.
Such an experiment is already in operation in the Department of Agriculture
& Cooperation, but this Department as well as the State Departments
concerned with Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries may not be familiar
with the modalities involved in implementation of schemes through
macro-management regimen. I would, therefore, emphasize that you may
specifically deliberate on this aspect.
5. All of you
concerned with livestock development will agree that census data on livestock, forms an important basis for planning. Even after
a decade of creation of the Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying,
livestock census operations were being managed and implemented in the
Department of Agriculture & Cooperation for a variety of reasons. A stage
has now come, when the Department of Animal Husbandry & Dairying should
take charge of the census operations in collaboration with the nodal
Departments in the States. I am given to understand that due to unavoidable
circumstances, the reference date of the next livestock census is being
postponed. I would suggest that you particularly devote time in discussing the
ways and means of implementing livestock census in a more orderly fashion and
suggest measures for bringing out timely census results, to facilitate the
overall planning process. I am not very sure but have a feeling that livestock
census data should not be seen as a mere head count but also provide some clue
of impact of the programmes implemented by the
Government in a time scale.
6. All of you
are also aware that the current year was one with deficient monsoon in large
parts of the country. There have been reports of hardship and death of
livestock, slump in productivity and widespread distress of farmers. Although
various aspects of calamity relief are being monitored and remedial measures
coordinated in the Drought Management Division of Department of Agriculture
& Cooperation, we need to have a comprehensive assessment of the effect of
calamity on the livestock and fisheries sectors, and try to chalk out a
long-term plan of calamity proofing, integrating elements of activities in our programmes. This is an area where we will be looking for
valuable suggestions from the participants engaged in management of these
sectors in the States.
7. All of you
are also aware that there is an on-going campaign in developed countries to
promote organic food, which includes food from animal sources as well. The
export market for organic food appears to be attractive and promising. Since
most of the livestock production systems are based on agriculture residues we
may have to direct attention to the pockets of organic crop production in the
country, and initiate pilot production of livestock and livestock based
products with organic crop residues. It is perhaps time to analyse
the scope and resources in the country so that appropriate steps can be
initiated. This reminds me of a related topic of safety of animal foods so far
as pesticides, drug and chemical residues are concerned. I would expect the
Conference to deal with this aspect as well and come up with some tangible
recommendations.
8. When we talk
of potential for growth in this sector and highlight the need for additional
financial resources, we very frequently loose sight of certain ground realities
which would continue to be important in mobilizing more funds towards
development of this sector. Without
going to the specifics, I must draw attention to the fact that funds released
under various centrally Sponsored Schemes are not utilized in time. This seriously
hampers the Department’s efforts to obtain higher amounts under those schemes,
which records a very high rate of idle parking of funds. I would, therefore,
plead that our claim to higher allocation must commensurate with faster
absorption of higher amounts.
9. All of you
will agree that monitoring of quantitative figures of expenditure is not the
last word and the process is to be matched with appropriate monitoring of
physical parameters and evaluation of the schemes on the basis of appropriate
performance indicator. We should try to make use of advances in information
technology in achieving proper in-house monitoring of programmes.
Simultaneously we need to identify institutions of repute who
could be entrusted with the task of periodic independent evaluation. If pursued
seriously, these steps will not only improve the quality of returns from the
investments, it will also enhance our capability to attract and absorb more
funds under appropriate programmes.
10. Although my
tenure in this Department is not very long, I can say with certain degree of
conviction that the weakest area in this sector is our machinery for technology
transfer and extension. Growth of animal husbandry sector will largely depend
on the development of appropriate technologies, their adoption by the farming
community and infrastructure for delivery of such technologies. We need to analyse the existing strengths and resources on this count
and try to build on the same for further improvement so that improved
technologies reach the grass root level for integration with the production
system.
11. In recent
times the issues on animal welfare, bio-safety, trade, as well as sanitary and phyto-sanitary (SPS) measures have often complicated
livestock production systems. Since these issues will stay for a long time to
come, I feel the need to deal with such issues by improving the institutional
framework. The exact nature of such a framework still eludes my imagination and
I would depend on you to throw some light on short and long term measures to be
undertaken.
12. The fisheries
sector has been recognized as a powerful income and employment generator, which
has posted commendable growth. With a coastline of 8118 kms
and an Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of 2.02 million sq km, the sector has more
potential than sustaining a million people currently involved in fishing
operations. The Department has recently
issued the guideline for fishing in the EEZ and a Marine Policy. Aquaculture
Authority Bill has also been drafted. There is considerable scope of
improvement in fresh water and cold-water aquaculture, introduction of
innovations in fishing vessels, issues of improvement in infrastructure,
introduction of science and technology as well as legislative aspects. I hope
the participants will go to the core of such issues, to help us in finding
solutions to the problems.
13. Because of my
short tenure in the Department, I deliberately avoid going to the specifics but
for a few important areas. I would specifically mention the need for reviewing
of the breeding policy for cattle and buffalo so that a comprehensive view
emerges on management of these important resources in the country on a long -
term basis. We must not only try to contain diseases affecting livestock and
fish. We must have reliable information
on them and document the same in an acceptable manner. Monitoring and
surveillance of the livestock diseases in the country and liaison with
International organisation is one of the important
responsibilities discharged by the Department. However, the current status of
disease reporting, quality, reliability and transmission of information to the
Department would need critical review. The present disease information system
is based largely on clinical evidence. This would need a gradual shift to
generate information on laboratory-based data. It would be necessary to tap all
the potential existing in the State, State Agricultural Universities,
Veterinary Colleges and Research Institutions by bringing them under a network
so as to broad base information inflow and reliability of data backed by
laboratory confirmation. The Department has already taken steps in this
direction by establishing four Regional Diagnostic Laboratories and one Central
Laboratory using the facilities of State and ICAR Institutes. Diagnostic
facilities and Quality assurance of vaccines/diagnostics to achieve this will
have to be improved both qualitatively and quantitatively. While ingress of
diseases across the border is to be controlled by a Central Authority, the need
to have regulatory measures concerning inter-state check post / quarantine and
animal movement within the country would also perhaps merit consideration.
14. We also need
to improve upon our performance concerning farmer’s participation in the programmes and development of entrepreneurship. Structural
reforms necessary to achieve these goals must be pursued to a logical
conclusion. With these words I leave the specifics to the Divisions. I have all
along believed that there is considerable wisdom in the States, which is the
arena of action in the field of livestock and fisheries. I expect the
Department will benefit from the collective wisdom of the States and request
all to contribute generously and effectively in the group discussions, which
are slated after this session.
15. With these
words I wish you successful discussions and debates and look forward to your
recommendations, long term and short term action plans.

Recommendations of Dairy Sub Group
Chairman: Shri D.S. Jaspal
(IAS) Secretary, Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairy and Fisheries,
Government of
Reporteur: Dr.
H. Chennegowda, Managing Director, Karnataka Milk
Federation.
Consideration of Agenda:
Item No. 1: Integrated Dairy Development Projects in
Non-operation Flood, Hilly and Backward Areas.
Main Issues
1. Non Release of Central Grant to SIAs
Recommendation:
The
sub-group unanimously recommends that funding should be modified and funds may
be provided directly to the State Implementing Agency (SIA) so that speedy
implementation of schemes is possible.
However, the State Govt. should be kept fully in the picture, to ensure
proper supervision, monitoring and control.
2. Flexibility in appropriation
Recommendation:
Govt.
of
Item No. 2: Assistance
to Co-operatives
1. Inadequate budgeting & non release of State share:
Recommendation:
A
reference may be made by Govt. of India to Chief Secretaries of States emphasising the adverse consequences of non
provisioning of the Sates share resulting in holding up utilisation
of GOI grant.
2. Structural Anomalies:
Recommendation:
This
anomaly should be removed immediately wherever it exists. For this purpose
Govt. of India will make a formal reference to the Chief Secretaries of the
concerned States, which should be followed up by the administrative secretaries
of Animal Husbandry and Dairy of the respective State.
3. New Dairy Schemes:
a) Strengthening infrastructure for quality and clean milk production:
Recommendation:
The scheme may be implemented. Besides training, consumer awareness, education and publicity may also be added as its components. Milk co-operatives may also be advised to pay differential farm gate price to the producers of clean milk. There should be commitment from the milk cooperatives to improve on the microbial content of the milk.
b) Dairy/Poultry venture capital fund:
Recommendation:
Above observations of the sub-group may be brought to the notice of the Finance Committee.

The Fisheries Division has identified six plan
schemes under the re-organised macro-management
approach. Each of the six plan schemes were discussed in detail and the
sub-group recommended the following for consideration:
i)
Fish
Farmers Development Agencies: FFDAs will continue to
be a single-window mechanism for further vertical and horizontal development of
aquaculture in the country.
ii)
The
existing FFDA scheme need be considered for revision incorporating the
following components:
a) revival of
the salary component for the incremental staff
b) scaling
down the capacity of the existing units for feed
manufacturing units
c) inclusion of transport
subsidy for fish, prawn seed, especially for
deficit areas.
d) separate unit of inputs
for farmers taking up freshwater
prawn culture
iii)
Organisation of ‘seed
congress’ at regular intervals.
iv)
Development of
coldwater aquaculture and fisheries: Setting up of integrated units with
hatcheries, raceways and feed plants for popularising
aquaculture of coldwater species in the Himalayan belt; units for running water
fish culture and stocking of mid and high altitude lakes for enhancing fish
production.
v)
Brackishwater Aquaculture:
Revival of Brackishwater Farmers Development Agencies
to cater to the requirements of the small and marginal farmers in the coastal
areas with special focus on shrimp health management and setting up modern
disease diagnostic laboratories. This
will also include setting up of quarantine facilities at selected places along
the east and west coast.
vi)
Productive utilisation
of inland saline/alkaline soils and water logged areas need to be continued
through plan scheme during the Tenth Five year Plan covering potential areas in
the country.
vii)
Indian
reservoirs with their vast area offer immense potential for fish yield optimisation. A full-fledged plan scheme during the Tenth
Plan is essential to meet the objectives of reservoir fisheries development and
enhance fish production from this resource.
viii)
Conservation of
endangered species, such as the mighty mahseer and
ranching of species in selected riverine stretches
for stock enhancement need to be taken up through plan programmes.
ix)
Leasing period
of water bodies irrespective of ownership which are to be taken up for
fisheries development may be for a minimum period of five years and should be
coordinated by the State Fisheries Department.
The
Fisheries database is infirm and needs considerable strengthening. In the
inland sector, the priorities are towards standardization of methodologies for
estimation of catch from diverse aquatic resources and establishing mechanisms
for regular collection and dissemination data by the States and
Besides
continuation of the existing Insurance scheme for active fishers, it was also
recommended to engage the General Insurance Companies to consider insurance
aspects of aquaculture and marine fisheries sector especially with regard to
craft and gear.
To
incorporate the topical developments in the fisheries sector and ensure that
the Acts of the States/UTs are compatible with the
requirements of the sector and also harmonized, the center was requested to
prepare model bills for marine, inland fisheries and aquaculture.
The
existing mandate of the Institutes under the fisheries division was discussed
and it was recommended to review the mandate of Fishery Survey of India
especially with regard to the inclusion of inland fisheries activities.
Beside individuals, Groups of Fishers, Self Help Groups and Fishery Cooperatives need encouragement and their involvement in the fisheries developmental activities under ongoing fisheries programmes during Tenth Five Year Plan.
Traditionally
in
Like
the crops and pulses produced by Agriculture, fish produced from ponds by
practicing aquaculture is a daily food for a large section of the society all
over the country. Aquaculture should, therefore, receive all the
incentives/concessions so far given to Agriculture (Income Tax Relief, Power
and Water at concessional rate, loan facilities,
tube-wells and insurance cover for Aquaculture).
