33. 33 Issues for Consideration of GOI 1.Seeds- - Adequate quantity of breeder seeds of Pulse and Oilseeds must be ensured. - Subsidy to be allowed on notified varieties of Hybrid Rice. - Subsidy on certified Seeds of Pulses must be enhanced from Rs. 1200 per quintal to 50% of actual cost. 2.Credit Flow- - Reduction of interest rate on crop loan from prevailing 7% to 4%. - Banks should appoint KCC agents which will help in issuing KCC to all the eligible farmers. 3.Setting Up of new Institute- - ICAR is establishing 3 institute on biotechnology, biotic stress and abiotic stress to face the emerging challenges. G.O.U.P. is prepared to provide space at Rahamenkhera, Lucknow and Mauranipur,Jhansi. 4.Fertilizers- - New railway rake points should be developed at broad gauge network at Jarwal Road, Robertsganj, Fafund, Gursahaiganj, Baghpat, Kasganj, khalilabad, Padrauna, Kaushambi, Chitrakoot, Hathras etc.

34. 34 - Urgent need to increase no. of fertilizer buffers of IFFICO from existing 10 to 18, one each in every revenue division( Banda,(Jhansi,Allahabad, Azamgarh,Basti, Devipatan, Saharanpur Mathura.) - Policy of advance payment if MRP for the arrangement of of DAP should be reconsidered. The burden should not be on the state. 5.Farm Mechanization- - Subsidy of Rs. 20,000 for Rotavator in MMA to be made at par with Rs.30,000 provided in NFSM. - Subsidy should also be allowed on pumpsets of an 10 H.P in MMA as has been allowed in NFSM. 6.Quality Control- - One Bio-pesticides Quality Control, One Plant Quarantine Lab need to be established. - Three new fertilizer testing lab proposed in G.O.I funded NPMSF scheme. 7.Minimum Support Price- - MSP of crops specially Oilseed and Pulses to be declared before sowing season.
