Chapter - I

Plan in Outline

Part-I: An Overview of the State Economy

The broad vision and aspirations which the Twelfth Plan (2012-17) seeks to fulfil are reflected in its subtitle: ‘Faster, Sustainable, and More Inclusive Growth’. Inclusiveness is to be achieved through poverty reduction, promoting group equality and regional balance, reducing inequality, empowering people etc whereas sustainability includes ensuring environmental sustainability, development of human capital through improved health, education, skill development, nutrition, information technology etc and development of institutional capabilities, infrastructure like power telecommunication, roads, transport etc

2. This is the terminal year of the Twelfth Five Year Plan. Thus, the plan programmes were formulated so as to ensure that the weaker sections and marginalized groups are able to participate in the developement process and the gaps between the social groups and regions are reduced. The State is committed to the objectives of community empowerment and the holistic model of development, where growth is built upon people's participation and aspirations. The State's plan objectives focus upon investing in economic and social infrastructure, strengthening social security and improving social capital. In addition to the centrally sponsored schemes, the state government had also initiated a number of schemes for the benefit of the poor, vulnerable and marginal sections as well as for the development of the backward regions of the State.

3. The journey of development is a continuous process. UP is one of the biggest states of the country covering 7.3 percent of the country’s geographical area, encompassing 240928 square kilometers of area with 18 divisions, 75 districts and 821 community development blocks. Because of its vast spread, rainbow culture, multi-traditions and multi-linguistics prevails in UP. Though the State has covered a remarkable distance in the development journey and have also achieved desired targets through the planning process, yet much is required to be done in the field of infrastructure and human capital development, regional imbalances and empowerment of weaker, vulnerable and marginalised sections of the society.

Population

4. UP has the largest population in the country. According to census 2011, total population of the country is 12106 lakh while that of UP is 1998 lakh. The share of the state's population in the country’s population is 16.5 percent. In the State, out of the total population, 52.4 percent are males and 47.6 percent are females. About 77.72 percent population resides in rural areas and 22.28 percent in the urban areas. The following table lists some parameters of census 2011, pertaining to UP:

Economy

6. Uttar Pradesh has released the new series of state income estimates revising the base year from 2004-05 to 2011-12. Gross State Value Added (GSVA) & Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) under new series (2011-12) is different from that used for old series (2004-05) therefore caution required while comparing estimates and growth rates from the earlier series to the new series.

The Provisional estimates for the years 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14 and Quick estimates for the year 2014-15 both at current and constant (2011-12) prices are derived as per the new methodology.

7. Now, Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) at factor cost will no longer be estimated. Industry wise estimates will now be presented as Gross State Value Added (GSVA) at basic prices, while ‘GSDP at market prices’ will henceforth be referred to as GSDP. Similarly ‘NSDP at market prices’ will be referred as NSDP.

8. The relationship between GSDP (at factor cost), GSVA (at basic prices) and GSDP (at market prices) is as follows-

GSVA at basic prices = Compensation to employees(CE) + Operating Surplus/

Mixed Income (OS/MI) + Consumption of Fixed Capital (CFC) + Production Taxes less

Production Subsidies.

GSDP at factor cost = GSVA at basic prices- Production taxes less Production Subsidies.

GSDP at market prices =GSVA at basic prices+Product taxes–Product

Subsidies

9. However, caution is required while comparing estimates and growth rates from the earlier series to the new series, because the methodology and database for calculation of Gross Value Added (GSVA) and Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP)under new series is different from that used for old series (2004-05).

10. The significant features of the Quick Estimates of the State Income of U.P. for the year 2014-15 are as follows:-

The growth of GSDP at constant (2011-12) prices for the year 2014-15 is estimated to be

6.2%.

As per the estimates of GSVA at constant (2011-12) prices for the year 2014-15 the

Primary, Secondary and Tertiary sectors of the economy shows a growth of (-) 1.8%, 5.1%

and 10.8% respectively. Thus the growth in Tertiary sector is highest.

Power

In 2013-14, the total installed capacity in the state was 9125 MW, total production of electricity was 471887 lakh KWH and total consumption of electricity in the state was 591767 lakh KWH.

During 2013-14, per capita production of electricity in the state was 224 KWH and per capita consumption of electricity was 474 KWH, clearly reflecting the gap between demand and supply of electricity in the state,

The total electrified villages in UP are 97813 in 2013-14, which was 98.4 percent of total inhabited villages in the state.

Education

18. Education is very important parameter of socio-economic development of any society. This parameter has many forward linkages which fasten the economic development of the society.

( 9 )

19. The total literacy rate of the state is 67.7 percent, male literacy rate is 77.3 percent and female literacy rate is 57.2 percent in 2011. Rural literacy rate is 65.5, percent, rural male literacy rate is 76.3 percent and rural female literacy rate is 53.7 percent during the aforesaid period. Urban literacy rate is 75.1 percent, urban male literacy rate is 80.4 percent and urban female literacy rate is 69.2 percent in 2011. The biggest challenge is to improve literacy rate of the State, to bridge gap between male and female literacy rate and also to reduce disparity in literacy rate amongst different districts of the State.

20. In recent past major thrust is given on primary and secondary education in the state. The number of primary schools increased to 168906 in 2014-15 from 137366 in 2006-07. Similarly number of higher primary schools also increased to 76901 in 2014-15 from 44121 in 2006-07. There is a significant improvement in number of secondary schools as well, its number increased to 22750 in 2014-15 from 14745 in 2006-07. In recent years numbers of degree colleges has also increased. Its number has increased by more than two times since 2006-07, as is evident from the following below-

Not only the numbers of hospitals and dispensaries have increased but also the available numbers of beds in allopathic hospitals have increased. It increased to 85204 in 2015 from 48283 in 2007.

State Millenium Development Goals

Highlights

MDG 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger

Target 1: Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people whose income is less than one dollar a day

The Poverty Head Count Ratio (PHCR) estimate for U.P. was 50.67% in 1990. In order to meet the target the PHCR level has to be 25.34% by 2015. In 2011-12, the PHCR for U.P. was 29.43%, and likely achievement by 2015 will be 27.94% which shows that, U.P. has missed her MDG target narrowly.

During 2004-05 to 2011-12, the Poverty Gap Ratio (PGR) reduced both in rural and urban areas. While the rural PGR declined from 9.164 in 2004-05 to 5.68 in 2011-12 in the urban areas it declined from 7.802 to 5.29 during the same period. A nearly 38% and 32%decline in

( 11 )

PGR in rural and urban areas, respectively, during 2004-05 to 2011-12 reflects that the conditions of poor have improved both in urban and rural areas.

In 2004-05, in U.P. according to Poverty and Social Monitoring Surveys (PSMS-IV) conducted by Economics and Statistics Division, GoUP, the share of the poorest quintile in the total consumption was 12.64 % which further declined to 11.72% in 2009-10 signifying the worsening of the condition of poorest quintile.

Target 2: Halve, between 1990 and 2015, the proportion of people who suffer from hunger

For U.P. it is estimated that in 1990, the proportion of underweight children below 3 years 56.78 %. In order to meet the target, the proportion of under-weight children should decrease to 28.39 % by 2015. The National Family Health Survey shows that, the proportion of under-weight children below 3 year declined from 48.1 % in 1998-99 to 41.6 % in 2005-06. At this rate of decline the proportion of underweight children below 3 years is expected to reduce to 33.81 % by 2015, which indicates U.P. is falling short of the target.

Goal 2: Achieve Universal Primary Education

TARGET 3: Ensure that by 2015, children everywhere, boys and girls alike, will be able to complete a full course of primary education.

The Net Enrolment Ratio (NER) in primary education (age 6-10 years) was estimated at 78.2 per cent in 1999-2000 (PSMS-II) and the NER has increased to 84.0 per cent in 2009-10 (PSMS_IV) .The U_DISE data shows that NER has reached to 97.74 per cent in 2005-06 (U-DISE). However, the NER has decreased to 95.64 per cent in 2014-15. .Hence State is unlikely to meet the target of universal achievement.

The results from DISE report 2011-12, shows a steady increasing trend over the years in the estimate of the indicator ‘ratio of enrolment of Grade V to Grade I (Survival Rate)’ from 54.09 in 2003-04 to 87.0 in 2014-15.

The youth (15-24 years) literacy rate has increased from 67 % to 81.57 per cent during the period 1991-2011 and the trend shows U.P is likely to reach 91.68 % youth literacy by 2015. The male and female youth literacy rate is likely to be at 92.51% and 93.31% respectively.

Goal 3: Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women

Target 4: Eliminate gender disparity in primary, secondary education, preferably by 2005, and in all levels of education, no later than 2015

In primary education the enrolment was unfavourable to females as Gender Parity Index (GPI) of Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) was 0.94 in 2004-05. However this ratio turned favourable to females in 2011-12 and stood to 1.03. In Secondary education although GPI of

( 12 )

GER has increased to 0.84 in 2011-12 from 0.68 in 2004-15, still it is unfavourable to females. In tertiary level of education, however, the GPI of GER is 1.14 in 2010-11 and 1.00 in 2011-12.

As per Census 2011, the ratio of female youth literacy rate to male youth literacy rate is 0.85 for rural area and 0.96 for urban area. At State as a whole it stood to 0.87.

The NSS 68th round (2011-12) results had estimated the percentage share of females in wage employment in the non- agricultural sector as 10.0% with corresponding figures for rural and urban areas as 8.0% and 13.1 % respectively. This is an improvement in the status as NSS 66th round (2009-10) had reported that the share of women in wage employment is 8.2 % at state level and the corresponding estimates for rural and urban area of the state pegged at 7.3% and 9.8% respectively. Clearly state has missed the target of 50%.

As in May 2012, U.P. India’s most populous state, has only 35 women representatives out of 403 members in Vidhan Sabha, and and hence presently the proportion of seats in Vidhan Sabha is held by women is only 8.68 % against the target of 50%.

Goal 4: Reduce Child Mortality

TARGET 5: Reduce by two-thirds, between 1990 and 2015, the under-five Mortality Rate

Under Five Mortality Ratio (U5MR) was estimated at 152 deaths per 1000 live births in 1990. In order to achieve the Target 5, the U5MR is to be reduced to 51 deaths per 1000 live births by 2015. As per SRS 2013, the U5MR is at 64 deaths per 1000 live births and as per the historical trend, it is likely to reach 63.61 deaths per 1000 live births, missing the target narrowly. However, an overall reduction in U5MR of nearly 58% happened during 1990 to 2013, registering a faster decline in the recent past, and if this rate of reduction is sustained, the achievement by 2015 is likely to be very close to the target by 2015.

In U.P., Infant Mortality Rate was estimated at 99 per 1,000 live births in 1990. As per SRS 2013, the IMR is at 50 and as per the historical trend; it is likely to reach 50 by 2015, against the target of 33 infant deaths per 1000 live births by 2015. However, with the sharp decline in the recent years, the gap between the likely achievement and the target is expected to be narrowed.

The Coverage Evaluation Survey (CES), 2009 carried out by UNICEF and Government of India, shows that, in U.P. the proportion of one year old children immunised against measles is 52.8 % in 2009. Although, there is improvement in the coverage which was 33.5% in 1998-99, yet at this rate of improvement, U.P. is likely to achieve about 68.1% coverage by 2015 , which is well below at national level likely achievement of 89.1% and thus U.P.is likely to fall short of universal coverage.

( 13 )

Goal 5: Improve Maternal Health

Target 6: Reduce by three quarters between 1990 and 2015, the Maternal Morality Ratio

In 1990, the estimated MMR was 855.1 per 1,00,000 live births. In order to meet the MDG target, the MMR should be reduced to 213.8 per 1,00,000 live births by 2015. As per the latest estimates, the MMR status for the State is at the level of 285 in 2011-13. As per the historical trend, MMR is likely to reach the level of 241.96 maternal deaths by 2015, however, assuming the recent sharper decline is sustained, U.P.is likely to be slightly nearer to the MDG target.

The Coverage Evaluation Survey conducted by Government of India and UNICEF in 2009 shows that in U.P.64.2% percentage of births were attended by skilled health personnel in 2009. Although, considerable progress has been achieved over the years in improving the proportion of births attended by skilled personnel, U.P. is likely to reach the level of 66.7 % vis –a vis the targeted universal coverage by 2015 . The latest results of Sample Registration System (SRS) 2013, reveal that, the percentage of live births attended by skilled health personnel (Government hospitals, Private hospital, qualified professional) is 80.2% in 2013, which indicates a better status.

Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other Diseases

TARGET 7: Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS

The prevalence of HIV among Pregnant women aged 15-24 years is showing a declining trend from 0.42 % in 2004 to 0.15% in 2012-13.

According to NFHS –III in 2005-06, Condom use rate of the contraceptive prevalence rate (Condom use to overall contraceptive use among currently married women, 15-49 years,%) was only 8.6 % at state level.

According to Behavioural Surveillance Survey (BSS) conducted in 2001 & 2006, the national estimates for Condom use at last high-risk sex (%) (Proportion of population aged 15-24 years who used condom during last sex with non-regular partner) registered a decline from 48.8 % in 2006 to 46.0 % in 2009.

According to Behavioural Surveillance Survey (BSS), the national estimate for proportion of population aged 15-24 years with comprehensive correct Knowledge of HIV/AIDS (%) in 2006 was 29% which worsen to 21% in 2009.

TARGET 8: Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the incidence of Malaria and other major diseases.

The Annual Parasite Incidence (API) rate – In India Malaria has consistently come down from 2.12 per thousand in 2001 to 0.72 per thousand in 2013, but slightly increased to 0.88 in 2014 (P) but confirmed deaths due to malaria in 2013 was 440 and in 2014 (P), 578 malaria

( 14 )

deaths have been registered. In U.P. API rate was 0.3 per thousand in 2011 and came down to 0.2 per thousand in 2014(P). There was no confirmed death due to malaria in 2013 & 2014(P).

In India, Tuberculosis prevalence per lakh population has reduced from 465 in year 1990 to 195 in 2014. TB Incidence per lakh population has reduced from 216 in year 1990 to 167 in 2014. Tuberculosis mortality per lakh population has reduced from 38 in year 1990 to 17 in 2014.

Goal 7: Ensure Environmental Sustainability

TARGET 9: Integrate the principle of sustainable development into country policies and programmes and reverse the loss of environmental resources.

As per assessment in 2013, the total forest cover of the state is 14349 sq.km which is 5.95 % of the geographic area of the state. During 2011-2013, there is an increase of 11 sq. km in forest cover.

In 2013 Uttar Pradesh has 1 National park of area 490.00 sq.km. and 11 Wild life sanctuaries comprising of an area of 5538.32 sq.km. and 13 bird sancturaies of area 188.85 sq.km. The ratio of protected area to geographical area of state is 2.4% and this ratio has remained constant since 2003.

Per-capita Energy Consumption (PEC) (the ratio of the estimate of total energy consumption during the year to the estimated mid-year population of that year) for India has increased from 6205.25 KWh in 2011-12 to 6748.61 KWh in 2012-13, thus, the percentage annual increase of 8.76%. In the absence of State level data, analysis for U.P. could not be done.

In 2013, the estimated CO2 emission (Million Tonnes) for India is 1954.02. The Carbon dioxide emission showed a percentage increase of 235.57% in 2014 over 1990 for India. In the absence of State level data, analysis for U.P. could not be done.

In 2010, consumption of CFC is estimated at 290.733 ODP tonnes (ODP –Ozone Depletion Potential), down from 5614 ODP tones in 2000. From the year 2000, the CFC consumption decreased steadily till 2008, but showed minor increase in 2010. In the absence of State level data, analysis for U.P. could not be done.

As per Census 2011, 79.8 % households of Uttar Pradesh are using solid fuels (fire wood / crop residue/cow dung cake/ coke, etc) for cooking against 85.7% in 2001. Census 2011, further reveals that, in Rural areas 92.9% households and in Urban areas 3.5 % households are using solid fuels for cooking.

TARGET 10: Halve, by 2015 the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation

During 2012, in U.P. 96.2 % households had access to improved source of drinking water while 96.6 % households in rural and 95 % households in urban area had access to improved

( 15 )

source of drinking water. The target of halving the proportion of households without access to safe drinking water sources from its 1990 level to be reached by 2015, has already been achieved.

The NSS 2012 revealed 60.1 % of households at all India level had no latrine facilities. The NSS 2012 shows that 75.3 % and 10.7 % households in rural U.P. and urban U.P. respectively had no access to sanitation. Towards achieving the target of access to basic sanitation facility in households, in urban areas, the 2015 target is likely to be met ,against the target of 14.18%, and the progress is quite lagging behind in rural areas vis-a- vis the target of 46.77%. At whole State level, 2015 target is unlikely to be met vis –a –vis the target of 38.09%.

TARGET 11: By 2020, to have achieved a significant improvement in the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers

As per 69th round NSS (Jan- Dec 2012), at all-India level, and at U.P. state level, only 10.8 percent and 2.6 percent respectively of urban dwelling units were situated in slum. However, Census 2011 reported that in U.P. 12.8% of urban households are located in slums.. Census further reveals that in 2011, 14.02 % of the urban population lives in slums.

Goal 8: Develop a global partnership for development

Target 18: In co-operation with the private sector, make available the benefits of new technologies, especially information and communication.

The overall tele-density in the state has shown some progress and is at 58.31 % as on 31 st July 2014.

The internet subscribers per 100 population accessing internet through wireline and wireless

connections for India was 20.83 in june 2014 whereas it was 11.9 for U.P.

Part-II: Major Programmes

Agriculture

25. Uttar Pradesh is an agro-based state. About 70% of the population is dependent on agriculture, out of which more than 90% share goes to small and marginal farmers. Major part of this share belongs to scheduled caste/scheduled tribes who are involved in agricultural crop production activities. State has 216.68 lakh agricultural farmers, Out of which 166.59 lakh marginal farmers have less than 1 hectare of land and 29.83 lakh small farmers have between 1 to 2 hectares of land. Similarly, in the agriculture sector, there are 49.7 lakh agricultural labours.

26. Uttar Pradesh produces not only sufficient food grains for the sustenance of its population but also fulfills the food grains requirement of other states and generates a surplus for export as well.

27. Paddy and Wheat are the most important crops of the State. Maximum area is being used for cultivation of food grains of which only 11.7% is covered under pulses. Approximately 77.7% of the gross cropped area is used for the production of food grains. Other important crops grown in the State are sugarcane, potato, mustard, groundnut, gram, pea and lentil.

28. The State Agriculture Policy 2013 for Uttar Pradesh envisaged 5.1 % growth rate in the agriculture sector. To achieve this, the Agriculture Policy revolved around implementation of activities based on seven thrust areas, called Sapt Kranti viz. extension, irrigation and water management, soil health and fertility, seed management, marketing, research and agriculture diversification.

29. To achieve the envisaged growth rate during the XII Five Year Plan and thereafter on sustainable basis, the major interventions are:-

Ensure timely supply of quality inputs such as seed, planting material, fertilizers and other agrochemicals, agriculture machinery, credit, insurance etc. at reasonable rates on timely manner.

Develop the allied activities namely animal husbandry, dairying, poultry, pisciculture, apiculture, horticulture, aquaculture, sericulture and mushroom cultivation for diversifying

( 17 )

agriculture, increasing animal protein availability in the food basket and for generating marketable surpluses.

Emphasis have been laid on development of marketing infrastructure and setting up of agro-processing units in the producing areas to minimize wastage, especially of perishable produce and create off-farm employment opportunities in rural areas.

Promotion of private investment in agriculture and adoption of public-private partnership (PPP) across agricultural supply chain for linking the farmers with the market in efficient and

effective manner. Keeping in mind the importance of quality seed, department of agriculture made a projection

of ten years named as "Seed Mission Mode".

Concept of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has been adopted, practiced and disseminated in all cereals, oilseeds and pulse crops. At the same time, use of bio-pesticides and bio-agents had been promoted and use of banned or prohibited chemical pesticides discouraged.

Priority has to be assigned for the development of high yielding varieties, which are specifically suited to the Agro-Eco-Situation of the area.

The department has made an all out effort to establish contact with all the stake holders, especially farmers and suppliers, with the use of modern communication techniques.

It is proposed to double the credit facility to the farmers by increasing the KCC from 15.88 lakh in 2011-12 to 35 lakhs in 2016-17.

Soil and Water Conservation

30. To check the flood through appropriate measures of soil and water conservation techniques to cope up the problem of land degradation, silting and minimization of moisture.

31. A scheme of micro irrigation is being implemented in Bundelkhand and Vindhyan regions of the State to minimize the adversity of drought in this region. Through this scheme dripped and sprinkler irrigation system also provided to the farmers at subsidized rates. Judicious use of rainwater demonstration is being made as a component of this scheme for the purpose of its popularization amongst the farming community.

Horticulture

32. Uttar Pradesh is bestowed with rich bio-diversity and varied agro-climatic conditions, ideal for growing a large variety of horticultural crops. A systematic and scientific effort of developing horticulture in the state has been made.

33. It is proposed to achieve the area expansion of fruits in 1.05 lakh ha. 2.30 lakh ha. vegetable and 0.24 lakh ha. potato as additional area during 2016-17. The present growth rate of horticulture sector in the state

( 18 )

is 9.40 % and it is proposed to increase it up to the level of 10.40% during the XIIth Plan period. The major interventions are :

Tissue culture banana cultivation has been developed as commercial horticulture activity in major areas of up.

Cultivation of High value flowers and vegetable has been opted by formers through reaction of protected structures viz. green house/playhouse and shading houses under Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH).

Use of drip and sprinkler in Aglow System for quality of fruits & vegetables.

34. The State Horticulture Mission (SHM) focusses on increasing the production and productivity through adoption of improved technologies for ensuring quality of horticultural crops. Special emphasis is on adopting cluster approach for developing regionally differentiated crops, which are most suitable for the state/region. The low productivity of the perennial fruits like mango, citrus is mainly due to small size of holdings, the preponderance of old and senile trees and the poor management available to them. Under the SHM rejuvenation programs of such old and thickly shaded mango, guava and aonla orchards for productivity improvement are being implemented.

35. Uttar Pradesh Potato Development Policy – 2014 has been announced which would help to provide facilities for quality seed production, application of modern techniques, creating storage facilities, marketing, export and promotion of potato based industries in the state.

Food Processing

36. The Food Processing Industry Policy aims at creating a favourable atmosphere for setting up of food processing units in the state through development of infrastructure facilities , encouragement to capital investing and technological up-gradation , human resource development , development of marketing networks, research & development promotion , quality and certification and grants and concessions. New food processing units will get re-imbursement at 7% of interest loan taken for plant, machinery and spares max. upto INR 50 lacs in a year for a maximum of 5 years, 50% assistance or expenses on 2.5% of capital project cost of the D.P.R. whichever is less subject to a maximum of Rs 5 lacs for D.P.R. preparation available to new units with maximum investment of Rs 25 lacs on plant, machinery & spares parts.

37. With the delinking of National Mission on Food Processing (NMFP), the State has announced a new scheme namely "Chief Minister Food Processing Mission U.P." The objectives of the mission are to augment the capacity of food processors working to upscale their operations through capital infusion; technology transfer, skill upgradation and handholding support; to support established self help groups working in food processing sector to facilitate them to achieve SME status; capacity development and skill up-gradation through institutional training to ensure sustainable employment opportunities to the people and also to reduce the gap in requirement and availability of skilled manpower in food processing sector.

42. The State has launched Kamdhenu Yojana in which Kamdhenu, Mini Kamdhenu and Micro Kamdhenu units are established to ensure availability of high yielding animals to the farmers and enhancing milk production. In the first phase it was decided to establish 75 units of the Kamdhenu and 150 units of mini Kamdhenu in the state. Upto March 2016, loans were sanctioned to 281 Kamdhenu units and 244 units became functional producing 1,65,000 litres of milk per day. 1312 units of Mini Kamdhenu become functional producing 490000 litres of milk per day. Loans were sanctioned to 1357 micro kamdhenu & 510 units became functional, producing 64000 litres per day. Presently, 7.19 lakh litres of extra milk is being produced per day from above schemes.

43. With a view to reduce gap between demand and supply of eggs Poultry policy- 2013 was framed by incorporating schemes of establishment of commercial layer poultry units and broiler parent units.Upto 31-3-2016 in Commercial Layer Units (30000 birds capacity), 325 Letter of Comforts issued, loans sanctioned to 140 units and 104 units become functional with daily production of 28.08 lakh extra eggs. This has reduced the inflow of 1 crore eggs daily to72 lakh eggs daily.

Dairy Development

( 20 )

The average daily milk procurement is 6.495 lacs kg/day (2011-12) and liquid milk sale is 3.74 laces liters per day (2011-12). The State is major supplier of liquid milk to Mother Dairy in the NMG.

Specific Thrust Areas are marketing of Value added products like Flavoured Milk, Butter Chiplet, SMP/Dairy Whitener in flexi pouch, Milk in aseptic pack etc.

The State had undertaken major restructuring steps taken in 2015-16 and all 59 milk unions have been reorganised to form 18 cluster unions with 15 dairy plants and remaining others reducing as chilling centers.

To encourage milk producers, Gokul puraskar has been launched. It encourages other milk producers to increase their milk production by using good practices in feeding, breeding & management.

A powder plant to process surplus milk in the state, is proposed to be setup at Kanpur in the dairy premises itself. The Powder plant at Central U.P. will process extra milk and convert it to Milk Powder.

It is proposed to set up 5 new Dairy Plants at Lucknow, Varanasi, Bareilly, Gorakhpur & Faizabad and strengthen dairy plants at Aligarh, Noida, Allahabad & Jhansi.

Forest

45. Uttar Pradesh has forest and tree cover of 21505 sq. km, which is 8.93% of its geographical area. The existing flora in Uttar Pradesh can be classified into three categories namely wet tropical desiduous forests, dry tropical desiduous forests and tropical throny forests.

46. The state is endeavoring for massive afforestation programme wherein people's participation is going to play a major role. It is proposed to increase the total forest and tree cover from 8.93% to 19.6% of its geographical area

47. A massive plantation drive was undertaken on 11th July, 2016 and more than 5 crore sapplings were planted.

48. With a view to enhance green belt in the State, 8-12 feet plants are being planted in every district and 3 to 4 sites are to be developed as a green belt.

Major and Medium Irrigation

49. At present, there are approximately 74659.57 Kms of canals, 28 Major & Medium lift canals, 249 Minor Lift Canals, 69 Reservoirs/Bundhis and 32047 running state tube wells.

51. Up to March, 2016 Irrigation Potential created through major & medium and minor Irrigation projects is 127.31 lakh ha., where as actual irrigation recorded in the year 2011-12 is 79.40 lakh ha. Thus there is gap of 47.91 lakh ha. in irrigation potential created and utilized.

52. It is also proposed to undertake lining of canals for water conservation. In the first phase, lining of 60 km. canals is envisaged and this method of water conservation will also continue in the subsequent years.

53. The state has undertaken a project for Gomti River Front Development Work. The project will span across 8.1 km from Hardinge Bridge to Gomti Barrage. The project entails revival of the river in three ways. There will be extensive cleaning of the riverbed and water flow will be regulated through river channelization. Beside, the surrounding will be made beautiful, there will be walking plazas, cycling and jogging track and ghats, along the banks.

Private Minor Irrigation

54. Private minor irrigation sources are very crucial for agricultural productivity and agriculture production of the State as about 77% of the irrigated area is attributed to private minor irrigation sources. The status of irrigation through various sources in the State is following:-

Item Net Irrigated Area (Lakh hect)

Percentage

A Canal 25.55 18.50B Govt. Tube Well 4.90 3.60C Private Tube Well/Boring Pump set 95.93 68.90D Other Source (Well, Tank, Ponds etc.) 12.11 9.00

In the case of failure of boring only 10 % or a maximum of Rs. 1000 whichever is less is charged from the cultivators and rest is borne by the Govt.

Ground Water

60. Ground water is a vital resource, providing 70% of irrigation supplies, 80% of drinking water supplies and almost all the industrial needs of the State. Growing dependence and unregulated use of ground water has eventually put an adverse impact on the resource domain in the form of unsustainable over-extraction and subsequent lowering of ground water levels in both rural and urban areas. Besides widespread depletion of aquifers, two more issues have emerged over the last two decades. In canal commands, reverse situation of rising water levels/subsurface water logging has emerged largely affecting the agricultural productivity. The other serious issue is ground water quality/ contamination which is posing new threat for potable water supplies and irrigation water.

State Ground water Scenario

61. The Ground Water Development has increased from 72%in 2009 to 73.65%in 2011, crossing the threshold limit of 70% .As such, ground water stressed areas are continuously increasing. In 2009, stressed blocks were 215, which increased to 261 in 2011 with 111 blocks categorized as Over-exploited, 68 as Critical and 82 as Semi–critical.

62. The severity of ground water situation can be assessed from the fact that 659 out of 820 blocks are witnessing decline in ground water level. Situation in urban areas is still grim and water level is declining at much faster rate. Almost all major cities are affected with heavy exploitation and fast decline.

( 23 )

Proposed Activities

Development of ground water estimation and strengthening of ground water survey;

Rain water harvesting & recharging ;

Preparation of GIS based maps and mapping of ground water sources/aquifer mapping & aquifer parameter tests.

Roof top rain water harvesting system

Ground water quality monitoring and comprehensive mapping.

Industrial Development

63. The Government of Uttar Pradesh has approved and announced Infrastructure and Industrial Investment Policy-2012 with an objective of attaining the target of 11.2 per cent industrial growth in Uttar Pradesh.

The policy aims at providing support to infrastructure and other fiscal incentives.

The total number of Industrial Entrepreneur Memorandum [IEMs]/ Letter of Intent [LOIs] filed during Twelfth Five Year Plan (upto March, 2016) was 512 with proposed investment of Rs 50793.79 cr and employment potential of 126457.

64. The State announced six policies, viz. Infrastructure & Industrial Investment Promotion Policy, Information Technology, Food Processing, Solar energy, Sugar industry, co-generation and distillery promotion, and encouraging policy for developing large poultry farms.

65. In order to promote investment and to project the State as an attractive destination for investment, Government of Uttar Pradesh has strengthened Udyog Bandhu. Investment Promotion Cell has been constituted with an aim to facilitate investors and to play its vital role in attracting more Industrial Capital Investment into the State. Government has charted out and proposed a long term plan for conducting Domestic Road Shows, International Road Shows and Global Investor Summit.

66.

Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY)

Performance during four years of 12th five year plan (2012-2017)

A total number of 2401 roads with an investment of Rs. 3572.60 crores is proposed for construction/upgradation during the plan period. The estimated road length i.e. targeted for construction/upgradation is 9187 kms. Against the above targets 1730 km road length has been constructed/upgraded by the end of the f.y. 2013-14. The total funds utilized were Rs. 1024.39 crores. During the year 2012-13, the State was supposed to utilize Rs. 425.00 crores. The corresponding physical targets were assumed to be 1000 km for new roads construction. However, the above targets could be met only partially due to non release of funds from the Govt. of India. The works were virtually carried out with the residual funds available with the State at the beginning of the year as no funds were provided by the Govt. of India to the State in the aforesaid period.

In the succeeding year i.e. 2013-14, the State was assigned target of utilizing 1000 crores on construction/upgradation of 3400 km. Again insufficient release of funds to the State surfaced as a major bottleneck in achieving the target. The Govt. of India released only Rs. 501.93 crores to the State during the year. Taking the available balances, the State could manage only Rs. 940.49 crores for implementation of scheme. The paucity of funds decimated the initial momentum and also restricted the achievement of the State. The State utilized almost the entire amount and constructed/upgraded 1446.17 km road length during the year.

In 2014-15, the State utilized Rs. 887.75 crore and constructed/upgraded 3690 km road length during the year.

Maternal Death Review

181. Maternal Death Review (MDR) as a strategy has been spelt out clearly in the RCH- II National Programme Implementation Plan document. It is an important strategy to improve the quality of obstetric care and reduce maternal mortality and morbidity. The importance of MDR lies in the fact that it provides detailed information on various factors at facility, district, community, regional and national level that are needed to be addressed to reduce maternal deaths. Analysis of these deaths can identify the delays that contribute to maternal deaths at various levels and the information used to adopt measures to fill the gaps in service.

Regular reporting and reviewing of maternal deaths both at facilities (with a focus on high case load facilities) and from community, with a priority to high mortality districts of the Annual Health Survey (AHS).

Each and every maternal death analysis not only for the clinical cause but also for the programmatic lapses and weakness needs to be analyzed so that corrective actions can be initiated.

( 63 )

Identification and management of high risk pregnancies and assessing the gaps and weaknesses for any maternal death are the key for ensuring reduction of maternal morbidity and mortality.
