3rd Economic Dose (15 May 2020)

This 3rd economic dose of Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan was basically focused on agriculture and allied activities, government and administrative reforms. The first 8 measures were for welfare for fisheries, dairy, animal husbandry, food processing and farmers while the last 3 were government reforms in the system to benefit the agriculture sector.

Agriculture and Allied Activities (8 measures)

The first 8 measures were for agriculture and allied activities which were for strengthening of infrastructure, logistics, capacity and storage for farmers:-

1. Farm Based Infrastructure (Rs 1 lakh crore) - The central government allocated Rs 1 lakh crore for aggregators, farmer production organizations (FPOs), primary agriculture cooperative societies and krishi udyami to strengthen farm gate infrastructure. This amount was spent for strengthening of cold chain, post harvest infrastructure, storage centers, yards etc.
2. Micro Food enterprises (Rs 10,000 crore) - This scheme was for food enterprises which are micro in size. The central government implemented the Rs 10,000 crore scheme with a cluster based approach to emphasise on vocal for local. Around 2 lakh micro enterprises were to benefit from this marketing and branding scheme. For example, clusters can be made for makhana of Bihar, mango of UP, ragi and coarse grains of Karnataka, kesar of Kashmir, turmeric of Telangana and chillies of Andhra Pradesh. Van sampada clusters were also formed.
3. PM Matsya Sampada Yojana (Rs 20,000 crore) - This Rs 20,000 crore for PM Matsya Sampada Yojana included activities related to fisheries and aquaculture. In this scheme, the government provided employment to 55 lakh people. New krishi vessels were given and new krishi harbours were built. Moreover, insurance of persons related to fisheries and their personal boats was done. This resulted in an additional fish production of 17 lakh tonnes. The main aim was to help people by providing them resources. In this scheme, Rs 11000 crore was given for aquaculture and 9000 crore for vessels and harbours.
4. FMD Livestock Disease Control Scheme (Rs 13,000 cr) - To eliminate foot and mouth disease, 100% vaccination of cattle, buffaloes, sheep and goat was done. India has 53 crore livestock which is the largest in the world. From January 2020, around 1.5 crore cows and buffaloes were vaccinated. In green zones, vaccination was started soon. To achieve 100% vaccination of livestock, the government spent Rs 13,343 crore.
5. Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund (Rs 15000 crore) - The central government spent Rs 15k crore for dairy infrastructure development fund. In this scheme, private investment was allowed. The government provided incentives for exporting of milk, cheese, ghee and to produce cattle feed.
6. Promotion of herbal cultivation (Rs 4000 crore) - Upto 10 lakh hectares (25 lakh acres) of land was to be used for herbal cultivation. This scheme resulted in an additional Rs 5000 crore of income for farmers. On both the banks of Ganga, herbal plants can be grown. Around 800 hectares of area of Ganga corridor was given for cultivation of herbal and medicinal plants.
7. Promotion of Bee keeping (Rs 500 crore) - The central government spent Rs 500 crore on bee-keeping schemes to benefit 2 lakh beekeepers. This ensured better standards of living for beekeepers and people got better honey. Moreover, wax for medicinal and other purposes was imported till then, so honeybee keeping helped in meeting the wax requirement of India locally and there is potential to become its exporter.
8. Operation Greens (additional Rs 500 crore) - The government had already launched Operation Green to take care of onion, tomato and potato (OTP) crops. Now farmers producing these perishable items got 50% subvention on transportation and 50% on storage. This scheme was extended and expanded for other perishable food items such as fruits and vegetables with an additional amount of Rs 500 crore.

Government and Administrative Reforms (3 measures)

1. Amendment in Essential Commodities Act 1955 - This Essential Commodities Act came into force in FY 1955 to reduce food shortage. Now as India is producing food items in abundance, the government amended the Essential Commodities Act 1955. From then onward, cereals, oilseeds, onion, potato, pulses and edible oils were deregulated. No stock limit shall apply for food processors subject to installed capacities. However, there are certain provisions in which the government can take steps on these crops in case of price hike or natural calamities.
2. Central law for farmers to sell their produce at attractive prices - The government framed a central law in which farmers got the leverage to sell their agricultural produce at attractive prices. There would be no barriers in interstate selling of agricultural products and e-trade was also allowed for farmers.
3. Facilitative legal framework - A new standardized mechanism was framed in collaboration with large retailers, exporters, aggregators and farmers to ascertain them with the price of sowing and selling and other information at the start of each season.

Support System Established for Farmers during COVID-19 lockdown

In India, around 85% of the operational landholdings are with small and marginal farmers. Farmers work in adverse conditions, endured a lot and made India reach global level. India is the largest producer of milk, jute and pulp, second largest in production of sugarcane, cotton, fruits and vegetables and third largest in production of cereals. In the past 2 months, take a look at the support system established during the COVID-19 lockdown. The central government performed MSP purchase to an extent of Rs 74,300 crore. In addition, Rs 18,700 was transferred to accounts under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana.

The claim payment of Rs 6,400 crore under Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana was cleared. Around 560 lakh litres of milk per day was procured by the government. In total 111 crore litre of milk was procured and for this purpose, the government paid Rs 4100 crore to dairy cooperative farmers. Furthermore, the government provided an interest subvention of 2% for dairy cooperatives and an additional 2% on prompt repayment. This resulted in Rs 5000 crore additional liquidity for farmers and benefited around 2 crore farmers.

4th Economic Dose (16 May 2020)

In the 4th tranche of Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan, the central government focused on structural reforms in 8 sectors. These are Coal, Minerals mining, Defense production, Civil Aviation (airspace management, PPP and airports, MRO Hubs), Power distribution sector, Social Infrastructure Projects, Space and Atomic energy sectors. Now let us study the structural reforms made in each of these sectors.

Coal Sector

1. Earlier coal was a product with monopoly of the central government but to promote commercial mining in the coal sector, government monopoly was removed. It led to more coal availability at market prices and liberalized entities were allowed to participate.
2. India has the 3rd largest valued coal in uncapped mines and still imports coal. So regulations are required. Now the government provided incentives on coal gasification to prevent environment and coal extraction beds were auctioned. The government spent Rs 50,000 crore for creating evacuation infrastructure.

Mineral Mining Sector

1. A seamless composite exploration cum mining cum production mechanism was set up. Around 500 new mining blocks were auctioned.
2. The central government removed the difference between captive and non-captive mining.
3. In addition, the government is in the process of development of a mineral index.
4. Rationalization of stamp duty was done while providing mining leases.

Defence Sector

1. The government notified a list of weapons which are not allowed to import. Every year the list will be increased.
2. The central government focused on indigenisation of imported spares. A separate budget provision was made for domestic capital procurement.
3. The 3rd step was to provide autonomy and accountability to ordinance factories. Corporatization (not privatization) of the ordinance factories board was done.
4. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) limits were raised from 49% to 74%. The central government also gave priority to time bound defence procurement.

Civil Aviation (Airspace management, PPP and airports, MRO Hub)

1. For airspace management, around 60% of airspace was only available for civil flights due to military restrictions. So the government focused on optimum use of airspace. This saved fuel, reduced ticket prices and reduced travel time and saved around Rs 1000 crore.
2. For PPP and airports, 6 more airports were brought in by the central government for auction. Airport Authority of India (AAI) did this on PPP basis. The government sought additional investment to provide high quality facilities at airports. The government had already received Rs 13,000 crore investment in 1st and 2nd round of 12 airports. Now with these 6 airports, more investment was expected to come.
3. Maintenance, Repair and Overall (MRO) Hubs were set up in India to perform maintenance, repair, service and other works related to civil aeroplanes and defence aircrafts.

Power Sector

1. Power distribution companies in all Union Territories were privatized in line with tariff policy. Moreover, private players got open access as well as incentives on timely payments. This made sure power distribution is sustainable.
2. The DISCOMs made sure adequate power and less load shedding to provide adequate power supply to consumers. For consumers, smart prepaid meters were installed while DBT process was started for electricity bills directly in bank accounts of consumers.

Social Infrastructure Project Sector

1. To enable setting up of more schools, hospitals and other social infrastructure projects, the government started providing increased Viability Gap Funding (VGF) for private players with an outlay of Rs 8100 crore. This raised VGF boosted private investment in health and education sector.

Space Sector

1. Private sector got access to ISRO assets. The central government brought a predictable policy for private players to get access to the space area.
2. The government provided a level playing field for private companies which means that private companies can now participate in planetary exploration, outer space exploration, launching satellites and other space activities.
3. Moreover, the government provided access to remote sensing data to private startups.

Atomic Energy Sector

1. Research reactor was established in public private partnership (PPP) mode for production of medical isotopes for cancer.
2. The government also focused on establishing facilities in PPP mode to use irradiation technology to prevent perishable crops from getting rotten.
3. In addition, the central government set up various Technology cum Incubation Centres.
