Krishi Karman Awards 2017-18

Country

As a follow up of the decision taken in the meeting held at Jaipur

under the Chairmanship of the then Union Agriculture Minister, Krishi

Karman Awards were instituted in 2010-11 for recognizing the meritorious

efforts of the States in foodgrains production. Till 2012-13, the awards were

given to the best performing States in two broad categories -one for total

foodgrains production and the other for individual crop of Rice, Wheat,

Pulses and Coarse Cereals. There were three awards for total foodgrains

production, Category-I for States where total foodgrains production

exceeded 10 million tonnes during the particular year, Category-II for

States where total foodgrains production was in between 1 and 10 million

tonnes during the particular year and Category-III for States with total

foodgrains production less than 1 million tonne during the particular year.

Award winning State in each category received a trophy, a citation and

award amount of Rs. 2 crore. For individual crops of Rice, Wheat, Pulses

and Coarse Cereals, each award winning State got a trophy, a citation and

award amount of Rs. 1 crore. In addition, one Commendation Award of Rs.

25 lakh was also given to States which could not qualify for Krishi Karman

Awards but achieved production and productivity higher over their previous

highest in 5 years.

During 2013-14 Oilseed crops were also included under individual

crop category. The award amounts were also increased from Rs. 2.00 crore

to Rs. 5.00 crore for total foodgrains (Category-I, II & III) and from Rs. 1.00

crore to Rs. 2.00 crore for individual crop including oilseed crops. The

amount for Commendation Award was also increased from Rs. 25 lakh to

Rs. 1.00 crore.

For awarding Krishi Karman Awards for the year 2017-18, the

Screening Committee assessed the performance of States against a set of

defined criteria taking into account production outcomes, effective

implementation of crop production programmes, innovative approaches

adopted for timely service delivery, post harvest management, etc.

The States of Andhra Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Manipur have

qualified for Krishi Karman Awards for the year 2017-18 for total

foodgrains under Category I, II & III, respectively. Punjab, Bihar, Madhya

Pradesh, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu has been selected for Rice, Wheat,

Pulses, Coarse Cereals and Oilseeds, respectively.

(i)

Commendation Awards have been given to Uttar Pradesh for

foodgrains production category-I; Assam in total foodgrains production

category-II; Meghalaya in total Foodgrains production category-III;

Jharkhand for Rice; Gujarat, Karnataka & Rajasthan for Pulses; and

Haryana for Oilseeds for achieving production and productivity higher than

their highest in last 5 years.

This booklet includes the details of the awards, criteria adopted for
