GOLDEN GOALS 2010

• Increase aggregated SRR of self pollinated crops
  by 50.
• Cover all operational holders under Soil
  Health Card programme.
• Each village to have minimum one Vermicompost
  unit

42
Issue of importance

• Subsidy rates for same components should be
  equal in all CSS schemes
• CSS along with manpower.
• Insufficient grant released in ISOPOM
• Nodal agency (FCI) should immediately start
  procurement of wheat under MSP
