196Uncorrected/ Not for publication- 08.12.2009Central Government agencies have supplied only 4750 tonnes to TamilNadu. Similarly, 69,ooo and odd kilolitres of palm oil has been suppliedby the Tamil Nadu Government through PDS but the CentralGovernment agencies have supplied only 20,000 kilolitres of palm oil toTamil Nadu. Likewise, 17000 and odd tonnes of Atta, 4000 and oddtonnes of Sooji, 15,000 and odd tonnes of Maida and 43 tonnes ofMasala packets have also been distributed through PDS from April, 2009in Tamil Nadu. So, apart from introducing the scheme of providing riceat Rs. 1 per kg, the distribution of Masala packets is another uniquesystem of curbing the price rise in Tamil Nadu. All the important Masalaitems like coriander powder, chilli powder or even mustard seed, etc.,are packeted, which is worth than Rs. 100 but it is distributed throughthe PDS at just Rs. 50.So, here it is very clear that the supply given by the CentralGovernment is very inadequate, but still the State Government of TamilNadu is able to manage the situation. How is it possible? It is doneonly by the additional budgetary provisions. An amount of nearlyRs.400-500 crores is being spent to buy the essential commodities fromthe open market and to supply this at the subsidised rate to protect thepoor people of Tamil Nadu irrespective of the quantum supplied by theGovernment of India. The same is the case with sugar also.I would like the Government of India to take some long-termmeasures by increasing the production and also the productivity so thatthere is an increase in the supply. This can be achieved only byincentivising the cultivation of such crops and also by adopting better

Member may fill the Tamil portion).________________________________________________________________Sir, there is another interesting Tamil cinema song which is worthquoting here.(Hon. Member may fill the Tamil portion)________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________which means everything is possible if you are concentrating properly onthe farmers and on the field. ...(Time-bell)...Sir, pulses and oil seeds can be grown in large quantities in ourclimatic conditions. For this, I request that the Government can give thehybrid seeds to the farmers free of cost. If it cannot provide it free, itshould be provided, at least, at 50 per cent rates.Finally, I will make just two more suggestions. The MSP is alwaysfixed at a very low level, as a result of which the Government agenciesare not able to procure the desired quantity. I request that theremunerative rate may be fixed for the essential commodities like wehave fixed for sugarcane. Otherwise, the MSP should be fixed on parwith the moving average, that is., taking into consideration the marketprice.With this reservation, Sir, I request that the Government of Indiashould support the State Governments like Tamil Nadu which is takingseveral proactive measures to implement PDS as an effective anti-
