1. Andhra Pradesh received a deficit rainfall of -39% during June which is the period for pulses sowing being rainfed to the extent of 98.5%. 2. Low MSP to pulses. Therefore the area under pulses is reduced by about 28% as on 24.08.11.

Andhra Pradesh received a deficit rainfall of -39% during June-11 and pulses are mainly ranifed i.e to the extent of 98.5% and june-11 is the period for pulses sowing. Hence the short fall.

To make the short fall of Kharif 11, it is planned to bring in an additional area of 4.10 lakh ha during the ensuing Rabi season. The crop wise plan is as follows.

1.Deficit rainfall to the extent of 39% in June 11 which is the proper period of sowing.

2.Low MSP to pulse crops.

Therefore the area is reduced by 28%

All the 45 units allotted for kharif-11 have been organized under A3P. 46 units are being organized during Rabi-2011-12 as given below.

5.6. Requirement of Additional funds for additional programme of pulses.

18

To bring an additional area of 4.10 lakh ha, an amount of Rs. 954.36 lakhs is required for distribution of certified seed under NFSM on 50% subsidy.

An amount of Rs. 250.00 lakhs is required to cover an additional area of 50000 ha under distribution of P.P. Chemicals for 2011-12.

Thus the total additional funds requirement is Rs. 1204.36 lakhs For Rabi-2011-12.
