Process of Allocation of the funds under the RKVY to the States
- The outlay under the scheme would depend upon the amount provided in State Budgets for Agriculture and allied sectors over and above the base line percentage expenditure incurred by the State Government on Agriculture and allied sectors. The base line would be a moving average and the average of the previous three years in any given year will be taken into account, excluding the RKVY. The allocation by the Central Government under the scheme to each of the eligible states would be based on the following parameters and weights:
| Sl. No. | Parameter | Weight |
| 1. | The percentage share of net un-irrigated area in a state to the net unirrigated area of the eligible states. Eligible states are those states that become eligible to avail of the RKVY based on their baseline level of expenditure under the State Plan and preparation of District and State Agricultural Plans. |
20% |
| 2. | The projected growth rates to a base year GSDP for Agriculture and allied sectors (say, 2005-06) will be applied to the GSDPs to be attained by the end of the 11th Plan by the States. The parameter will be set in terms of inter state proportion of these GSDPs projected to be reached by the state by the end of the 11th Plan. |
30% |
| 3. | Increase in the total Plan expenditure in Agriculture and allied sectors in the previous year over the year prior to that year. |
50% |
- The Ministry of Agriculture, in consultation with the Planning Commission, could modify the above criteria/weights depending upon new parameters becoming relevant in future.
