Preface

Bihar is facing its second successive drought in 2010. The state is traditionally flood-

prone so this year’s consecutive widespread drought has magnified the adverse

impact. This is particularly so in the background of the series of natural disasters over

the last four years which have brought untold miseries to the people – 2007 witnessed

severe floods in 22 districts of the State affecting 2.5 crore people; in 2008, the

breach of the Kosi embankment at Kusaha (Nepal) caused unprecedented

devastation in vast tracts of 5 districts of Kosi and Purnea divisions. Hon’ble Prime

Minister termed this a national calamity. 13 other districts were also affected by floods

that year. In 2009, along with many other states, Bihar faced severe drought in 26 out

of 38 districts. In 2010 nature has been extremely harsh on us as we have faced

severe cyclonic storms in April killing more than a hundred people and causing huge

losses to property and livestock. Now we are facing drought in large swathes of our

State: the arrival of monsoon in the state was delayed by two weeks and during the

peak sowing period of the main Kharif crop, the rainfall deficit was more than 20% and

shortfall in crop coverage more than 60% over the entire state.

Rainfall and crop coverage have been continuously monitored since the start of the

monsoon season by the Crisis Management Group (CMG) and the Calamity Relief

Fund Committee (CRFC). Reports were received from District Magistrates, Divisional

Commissioners and secretary level officers of the State Government on prevailing

ground realities. After careful examination of rainfall data, crop coverage, reports of

the above officers and on the basis of in-depth reviews in the meetings of the CMG

and CRFC, on 4th August 2010 the Government of Bihar declared 28 out of 38

districts as drought affected, and decided to constantly monitor the situation in the

remaining 10 districts. In case the situation in these 10 districts worsens, they may

also be declared drought hit. Around one crore fifty lakh families have been badly

affected in these 28 districts. The State Government has already suspended

collection of land revenue, irrigation dues, co-operative loans and electricity dues

related to agriculture. In addition to this, massive relief operations are required in

these districts. This Memorandum seeking assistance from the Central Government

for combating drought has been prepared keeping in view the CRF/ NCCF guidelines.

It is hoped that the Central Government will expeditiously sanction 5062.75 crore of

financial assistance together with an additional power of 330 MW, additional allocation

of 45,005 KL of Kerosene and also other assistance as requested in the

Memorandum.

1. Overview

Bihar is facing a serious drought arising out of scanty rainfall during the

2010 South West Monsoon whose arrival was 2 weeks late. The rainfall deficit

in June was 32%. The State Government has declared 28 district as Drought

affected and started relief measures. The situation in the remaining 10

districts is also being monitored continuously and some of these districts may

also be declared drought hit if the situation in these districts worsens. The

State Government has been keeping a close watch on the situation since the

start of the season and has been monitoring the rainfall pattern and the crop

coverage. A Crisis Management Group (CMG) comprising Secretaries/

Principal Secretaries of different line departments under the chairmanship of

the State Chief Secretary continuously reviews and monitors the situation.

Similarly, a Task Force has been constituted at the district level to review and

monitor the situation at the district and lower levels. Ministers and

Departmental Secretaries are also reviewing and monitoring the situation in

their departments. In addition to the Divisional Commissioners who have been

directed to supervise relief operations in the districts under their Divisions,

Secretaries/ Principal Secretaries have been assigned districts for close

monitoring and guidance and to oversee relief work in the drought affected

districts. The Chief Minister personally monitors the situation with the

members of CMG, Departmental heads concerned, Ministers and others.

The actual rainfall recorded during the current agriculture season till

31th July, 2010 is only 392.8 mm against a normal 508.5 mm, showing a

deficit of more than 23%. The data of rainfall recorded in all 38 districts till 31th

July, 2010, by and large reveals scanty/ deficit rainfall throughout the State.

Though the whole state is suffering from the scanty/ deficit rainfall situation

during this peak season of sowing the main paddy crop, the impact has been

the worst in the districts south of the Ganges where all the 17 districts have a

rainfall deficit of more than 20% with Buxar district recording a whopping

deficit of 70%. Likewise, the impact has been worst in 11 out of 21 districts in

north of Ganges where the rainfall deficit is more than 20% with Sitamarhi

being the worst hit with 60%. In addition to the shortfall in the rainfall, the

severity of the summer heat this year has further worsened the situation. The

following charts/tables show the extent of deficit in the rainfall during peak

sowing season of the kharif crops (paddy and maize) i.e, between 1st June

5

and 31th July, 2010 in the whole State ( Source: Department of Agriculture,

Figure 3: Month-wise actual& normal rainfall

Though the deficit in rainfall has affected almost all sectors, its impact

has been worst on agriculture. This has been extraordinarily devastating for

agriculture in Bihar because of its timing and duration which corresponds to

sowing and transplantation of the main cereal Kharif crop, i.e., paddy. The fact

7

that 26 districts of Bihar were badly hit by drought last year further

compounded the grim scenario in agriculture sector. The deficient or no

rainfall situation throughout the state has adversely affected normal

agriculture conditions. Both the irrigated and rain fed areas have suffered

substantially due to this unexpected situation. The situation has been more

calamitous mainly because it has occurred in the crucial months of June &

July, it has hit the districts of the State having the most potential for paddy and

also because it has struck those districts which were affected by drought last

year as well. As per the figures available with State Agriculture Department,

the main paddy crop coverage till 31th July, 2010 in the state had been only

13,37,369 ha against the target of 35,50,000 ha, showing an overall shortfall

of 62.33%. If it does not rain sufficiently during the next few weeks in the

months of August and September, this limited transplanted paddy may also

wilt or if saved may give very little yields for want of water and lead to

complete devastation in most of the districts. The other main Kharif crop, i.e.,

maize has also suffered substantially with a shortfall of 21.78% against the

target fixed for the year 2010. This will cause unprecedented loss to the

farmers mainly because of severe loss of these two main cereal crops of the

Kharif season. The district wise percentage of crop (paddy) coverage and

rainfall deficit is as in Table 3 (the rainfall figures of Darbhanga, Munger and

Begusarai districts are based on reports of respective District Magistrate).

As a result of this scanty rainfall situation, the coverage of crops has

been severely affected. Table 4 below shows the coverage status till

31.07.2010.

State Total 3550000 1337369 37.67 375000 293337 78.22

The total estimated crop damage during Kharif 2010 is 2,26,128

hectares for paddy seedlings, 7,23,628 hectares for paddy transplanted,

2,31,677 hectares for maize, 30,386 hectares for pulses, 3,635 hectares for

oilseeds totalling to 12,15,474 hectares. A detailed district wise statement is at

Annex 1. The total loss of production of rice due to the erratic monsoon would

be 25, 60,389 MT. A detailed district wise statement for rice crop loss is at

Annex 2. The estimated loss of production of maize would be 2, 32,764 MT. A

detailed district wise statement is at Annex 3.

The monsoon failure has not only pushed both farmers and the

agriculture labourers to the brink of despair with agricultural activity slowing

down drastically leading to impoverishment, but it has also affected other

important sectors like livestock, drinking water, health, employment and food.

Paddy is as important a cereal crop providing food to the millions of people as

it is for the animals providing them the bulk of dry fodder as paddy straw. With

loss in the Kharif production there will be heavy shortfall in the production of

paddy straw causing serious problem to cattle-rearing farmers. This shortage/

failure in the rainfall will certainly cause shortage of feed & fodder and drinking

water for the animals in near future. This may also cause several diseases in

the cattle and loss in milk production.

The surface and ground water in different regions of the State is

showing a declining trend. The normal water table at most of the places is

showing a declining trend and surface water resources like ponds and ahars

(traditional water storage structures particularly in southern parts of the State)

are drying up. A number of hand pumps in different areas has become non

functional due to fall in the ground water table. The situation is going to further

deteriorate and create unprecedented shortage of drinking water in near

future.

The shortage of water may also lead to various health problems and

diseases among the human beings turning the situation more severe.

11

The absence of work avenues for the agriculture labour in the rural

areas may cause their migration to other states which would eventually lead to

deterioration in the quality of life of the work force and the State may face

shortage of labour during Rabi cultivation.

2. Indicators mentioned in the Crisis Management Pl an (CMP),

Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India and th e Drought

Situation in Bihar

As stated in the previous paragraphs, the overall situation of deficit in

the rainfall and paddy transplantation in the State is really very severe and

may be devastating if it does not rain sufficiently in the near future and steps

are not initiated to meet the challenges. As per the indicators in the Crisis

Management Plan (CMP), Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, for

monitoring drought, the situation in Bihar has passed the Warning phase and

entered the Emergency Stage. The Indicators and the real situation of the

State vis a vis the indicators is shown in the following Table 5.

Table 5: Drought indicators of Ministry of Agriculture and situation in

Bihar

• The shortfall in paddy coverage 62.33% and in Maize coverage 21.78% till end of July

• If situation continues the transplanted crops will also wilt

The State has entered the

emergency phase

3. Steps taken by State Government so far

The State Government has been keeping a close watch on the

situation right from the beginning, especially the rainfall pattern and the crop

coverage. The Government had formally established the Crisis Management

Group (CMG) comprising Secretaries/ Principal Secretaries of different line

departments under the chairmanship of the State Chief Secretary. The

situation is being continuously reviewed and monitored at regular meetings

chaired by the Chief Secretary. District Task Forces have been constituted to

review and monitor the situation at district and lower levels. Review and

monitoring of the situation is also being done by Ministers & Departmental

Secretaries at department and district level. Chief Minister personally monitors

the situation with the members of CMG, Departmental heads concerned,

Ministers and others on regular basis.

In view of the drought prevailing in the state, the State Government has

already initiated measures to provide immediate relief to the affected

population and also make necessary preparations after scientifically

estimating the future scenario likely to arise due to scarce water conditions.

Besides making necessary arrangements for irrigation, fodder and drinking

water for cattle and other animals, the State Government has stepped up its

efforts to create job opportunities for landless labourers through the schemes

implemented by the Rural Development Department including MNREGS and

other poverty alleviation schemes of other Government departments. The

State Government also plans distribution of gratuitous relief to the drought

13

affected families after their grain stock is exhausted. The Government has

also issued orders for storing one quintal grain in every Panchayat as a

revolving stock for combating emergencies. Assessing the enormity of the

problem caused by the drought and its impact on the state population, the

State Government with its limited resources is trying its best to tackle the

situation effectively.

The major steps taken by state government include-

• Agriculture Sector-

o Diesel subsidy has been extended @ Rs. 200 per acre

per irrigation for two irrigation for paddy seedlings. Diesel

subsidy has also been extended @ Rs. 200 per acre per

irrigation for three irrigation of transplanted Paddy and

two irrigation of Maize for whole state.

o Rs. 35.75 Crore released to districts for Diesel Subsidy to

save Paddy seedlings.

o An additional amount of Rs. 570.00 Crore sanctioned for

Diesel Subsidy to irrigate Kharif crops.

o Rs 50 crore sanctioned and released for Seed Subsidy

for Kharif crops @ 50% of cost of the seed.

o Weekly advisory is being issued by Department of

Agriculture to the Officers for their respective districts in

consultation with scientists of Krishi Vigyan Kendras.

o Contingency crop planning is being publicized through

mass media.

o Steps taken to encourage farmers to take 'toria' as cash

crops.

o Under Bihar Bhoojal Sinchai Yojana ( BIGWIS), farmers

are being given a subsidy of 45% and loan of 45% for

installing one pumpset and tubewell/dugwell for irrigation;

farmers have to meet the margin money of 10%.

o Steps being taken to energise the state tubewells non-

functional due to electric faults and make those irrigation

worthy.

14

• Energy Sector-

o A minimum power supply of 5-6 hours being ensured in

the rural areas for irrigation.

o Control Room made functional at Bihar State Electricity

Board Hqrs. to monitor power supply in the Rural Areas.

o Burnt/ defective Transformers being replaced on priority

basis in Rural Areas so that the farmers can irrigate their

farms using their own electric pumps.

• Drinking Water -

o Contingency plan estimated at Rs 585. 25 crore for

maintaining drinking water supply in the entire state in

light of shortage of rainfall.

o Scheme for Rehabilitation/ Rejuvenation/Special repair of

34591 hand pump amounting Rs. 53.88675 crore

sanctioned.

o For sinking of 27083 sustainable Tubewells with India

sanctioned.

• Health Sector -

o Instructions issued to all districts for addressing health

issues in the context of prevailing situation

o Fully equipped Mobile Medical Units sanctioned for all

districts.

o All necessary drugs available in all health facilities.

15

• Livestock Sector -

o Places identified with drinking water facilities for

establishment of cattle camps (preferably near State

tube-wells).

o Fodder blocks manufacture started by Bihar State

Cooperative Milk Federation (COMFED).

o Funds made available to all districts to purchase

veterinary medicines.

o Awareness generation material published to save cattle

from heat and water scarcity.

• Employment Sector -

o Instructions issued to all districts to generate more

employment opportunities in rural areas by taking projects

related to tree plantation and water conservation.

o Under MNREGA, works related to water conservation like

deepening of ponds, canals, pynes (canals), ahars (check

dams); social forestry; micro irrigation works, provision of

irrigation facility, drought proofing, etc., taken up;

4. Declaration of Drought

An estimation of the status of the drought was made on the basis of

information collected through various sources mentioned below:

1. Reports received from District Magistrates regarding deficient/

scanty rainfall, coverage of kharif crop, especially paddy

transplantation, impact of deficient rainfall on other sectors and

actual field level situation and prevailing ground realities.

2. Recommendation of the Deptt. of Agriculture based on crops

coverage and rainfall shortfall

3. Recommendation by Secretaries /Principal Secretaries in charge of

certain districts and Divisional Commissioner of Koshi division

based on field assessment.

16

On the basis of the information collected through the above sources the

Government of Bihar has on 03.08.2010, declared 28 districts as drought

affected, and decided to constantly monitor the situation in the remaining 10

districts. The indicators mentioned in the Crisis Management Plan of the

Union Ministry of Agriculture were duly considered while deciding the drought

affected districts. The names of 28 districts which have been declared drought

affected are Patna, Nalanda, Bhojpur, Buxar, Rohtas, Kaimur, Gaya,

Jehanabad, Aurangabad, Arwal, Nawada, Munger, Sheikhpura,

Lakhisarai, Jamui, Begusarai, Bhagalpur, Banka, Saran, Siwan,

Muzaffarpur, Sitamarhi, Vaishali, Sheohar, E. Champaran, Madhubani,

Samastipur, Darbhanga. In case the situation in remaining 10 districts

worsens they may also be declared drought hit.

Map of Bihar showing the 28 drought hit districts is given below:

5. Steps to be taken in the drought affected distric ts

Following the declaration of drought in these 28 districts, the State

Government has immediately taken the following steps to give immediate

relief to farmers for the financial year 20010-11.

1. Suspension of realization of cooperative loan

18

2. Suspension of realization of land revenue and cess,

3. Suspension of realization of irrigation dues and electricity dues related

to agriculture from the farmers in these districts

The State Government has entrusted its different departments to follow the

key tasks in the main sectors which have been affected by drought

• Agriculture Sector :

– Agriculture input subsidy for diesel, seeds, seedlings, etc.

6. Assistance Sought from Centre I. Agriculture (a) Agriculture Input Subsidy:

Agriculture has been the worst victim of the deficient Monsoon rainfall

during the months of June & July. It is estimated that standing crop in an area

of 12,15,474 ha. has been damaged to the extent of 50% or more. This

includes the huge loss suffered by the farmers as they put Paddy seeds in the

field which dried up. According to CRF/NCCF norms farmers are entitled to

Agriculture Input subsidy when they suffer 50% or more loss of their standing

crop. The rate of Input subsidy is Rs. 2000/ha for rainfed areas and

Rs.4000/ha. for irrigated area. According to CRF/NCCF norms an amount of

Rs. 486.19 crore will be required for the Agriculture Input subsidy.

(b) Diesel Subsidy

The State Government has decided to provide subsidy for purchase of

diesel to irrigate the kharif crops. The subsidy included diesel subsidy for

irrigating the Paddy seedling, standing crop & to plant the new crop. An

amount of Rs.35.75 crore has been sanctioned @ 200 per acre per irrigation

for 2 irrigation to save Paddy Seedling. Similarly an amount of Rs. 570.00

crore has been sanctioned @ 200 per acre per irrigation for 3 irrigations to

transplanted Paddy & 2 irrigations to Maize crop. Therefore a total amount of

Rs 605.75 crore would be required for diesel subsidy.

(c) Seed Subsidy

State Government has decided to provide 50% subsidy on purchase of

certified seed for kharif 2010 and Rabi 10-11 crop season. The subsidy

21

amount will include the subsidy available under the ongoing scheme. An

amount of Rs 275 crore would be required for seed subsidy for Kharif and Rabi

season taken together.

Thus, the total requirement to tackle drought in th e agriculture sector is Rs 1366.94 crore.

II. Minor Irrigation In order to save the standing crop and to enable the farmers to grow Rabi

crops, the existing infrastructure for minor irrigation would need to be

revamped. Vigorous monitoring of the functioning of state tube wells is being

done by the Crisis Management Group and Minor Water Resources

Department. The Department has prepared a contingency plan to mitigate

drought impact under which following actions are being taken:-

1. To increase number of functional state tube wells,

2. To make most of 1350 nos. of DG Set operated state tube wells,

installed under RIDF Phase-8, functional,

3. Immediate removal of mechanical fault of tube wells,

4. To ensure presence of Tube well Operators round the clock at the

functional tube wells.

5. Regular Co-ordination meeting with officials of BSEB for supply/

installation of 131 nos. of transformers for those tube wells which are

non functional due to unavailability of transformers only.

6. Govt. of Bihar has sanctioned a subsidy of Rs. 20.00 per litre on

purchase of diesel for irrigation purposes by farmers. This subsidy

will be released by Department of Agriculture, Govt. of Bihar through

Panchayats. This includes DG set operated state tube wells installed

under RIDF Phase-8.

7. Department has ensured presence of tube well operators according

to the schedule of availability of electricity provided by BSEB.

In order to implement the contingency plan the Department of Minor

Water resources require fund amounting Rs. 234.25 crores as detailed in the

Table- 7.

Total: - Rs. 234.25 Cr. Total requirement to tackle drought in the Minor Wa ter Resources sector

is Rs 234.25 crore. III. Drinking Water Sector

The Public Health Engineering Department is the nodal agency for

providing safe drinking water to rural areas. The drought conditions have led to

a drastic fall in the water table and drying up of all sources of drinking water.

The drought plan for providing drinking water to villages includes repair of all

existing hand-pumps, rural and urban piped water supply systems. The length

of the intake pipe of the hand-pumps will have to be increased so as to reach

the water table. Some new hand-pumps will have to be drilled to provide

drinking water at villages where the water table has gone so low that just

lowering the intake pipe will not help. Water will have to be supplied through

tankers in some villages. A detailed contingency plan to provide drinking water

has been prepared for the 28 drought hit districts amounting Rs.-585. 25

23

crores (Annexure 5-i). The overall assistance sought from Central Government

admissible under CRF is given in Table 8 below.

Total

7703.95 Say Rs.

77.04 crores

Thus, the total requirement to tackle drought in th e drinking water

sector is Rs 77.04 crore.

IV. Food Grains Gratuitous Relief (GR)

As per para 1(f) of the CRF norms, Rs. 20/- per adult and Rs.15/- per

child per day is to be paid as gratuitous relief to those who have no food

reserve and who have no other immediate means of support. It is estimated

that there are around 63,92,625 persons in the 28 districts who belong to the

most vulnerable category and may face starvation if not given Gratuitous relief

as per CRF norms. This number includes old persons above 60 years of age,

widows, persons with disability, infirm and destitute. The district wise details of

24

such persons is at Annex 6. They would require gratuitous relief till the Rabi

crop is harvested. A total of Rs. 383.56 crore (Three hundred eighty three

crore fifty six lakhs Rupees) will be required to meet this expenditure for 30

days; Rs. 767.12 crore (Seven hundred sixty seven crores twelve lakhs

Rupees) for 60 days and Rs. 1150.68 crore (Eleven hundred fifty crores sixty

eight lakh Rupees) for 90 days.

Thus the total amount requirement is Rs. 1150.68 cr ores to give

GR to the eligible persons under CRF norms.

V. Kerosene Oil

Requirement of kerosene oil

Also, 1,50,01,701 families will be required to be provided 3 litres of

kerosene per month, over and above the existing allocation under the PDS. An

additional 4,50,05,103 litres (45,005.1 KL ) of kerosene will have to be

provided per month under this arrangement for provision of kerosene to the

affected families.

VI. Supplementary Nutrition

There are 61,431 Aganwari kendras are in the drought affected districts.

Around 24,57,240 Children of age 6 months - 3 years would be required to be

given as supplementary nutrition @ Rs. 2/- per day for 90 days, i.e., Rs. 44.23

crore. Also around 24,57,240 children of 3 years-6 years would also be given

supplementary nutrition@ Rs 2/ per day for 90 days, i.e., Rs 44.23 crore. Thus, the total requirement for supplementary nutri tion for 90 days during the drought is Rs 88.46 crore

VII. Livestock Sector

Generally no immediate problem arises to livestock due to drought. But in case

it prolongs for longer period, it affects the fodder & water supply with

prospective effects. To compensate it, the contingent Action plan prepared is

as follows:-

25

(a) Fodder for Cattle Camps

Generally, availability of animal fodder is not a major problem at

the time of drought as the residue of agriculture product of the previous year is

used for fodder, but drought has a long lasting effect on animal fodder. It is

worth mentioning that the 417 blocks of 28 districts are facing with the drought

problems and it is expected to affect nearly 1, 31, 49, 513 animals (cattle and

buffalo species). Expecting the drought problem 1251 animal camps are being

proposed to be setup in all the 417 blocks of the 28 district where availability of

fodder and water for animals could be a problem. As per the CRF norms,

provision of Rs. 10/- for small animal per day and Rs. 20/- for large animal per

day for availability of fodder, could be taken up.

So, nearly Rs. 1.88 crores per 1,000 animals will be spent on an

average of Rs. 15/- per animal per day as per expectation.

As per CRF norms, the total expected money to the tune of

Rs. 112.80 crores for 60 days will be needed to meet the expenditure.

(b) Veterinary Medicines

There are 645 veterinary dispensaries in 28 drought affected

districts. An amount of Rs. 50,000/- per dispensary is to be made available, for

the purpose of making medicines available in the affected districts. Rs. 3.23

crores (645 x 50,000/-) will have to be provided. The Department of Animal &

Fisheries Resources has allotted Rs. 1.89 crores (One crore, Eighty Nine

lakhs) to the above mentioned districts. At present 17 types of medicines are

available in all the dispensaries. Moreover the DAHOs have been instructed to

make arrangement for extra medicines, necessary to meet the crisis.

(c) Use of private land for cattle camps

If situation deteriorates animal camps are to be set up in 417

blocks of 28 district by this department. List of proposed camps is given at

annexure 7. These camps will generally be set up near the state tube wells or

other natural water reservoirs. Animals of the concerned blocks will be kept in

these camps during severe drought situation. Camps might have to be set up

on the private land of the villagers for which the land owners will have to be

paid @ Rs. 500/ camp/ month for at least two months. Moreover tents will have

to be also erected for the protection of the animals from scorching sun, rain

etc. Payment for tents will also have to be made. For this a provision of Rs.

26

5000/- per tent has to be made. Besides, troughs will also have to be provided

in the camps for feeding & drinking to animals.

For this purpose, contingency of Rs. 5,000/- per camp has been

provided. Thus altogether Rs. 2.002 crores @ Rs. 16,000/- per camp will have

to be managed for the payment to land owners, tent owners & for contingency

expenditure.

(d) Carriage of fodder from divisional depot to cat tle camps :-

There will be need to carry the fodder from fodder depot, which

can be set up at divisional headquarter. For this Rs. 5,000/- per truck will have

to made available. Thus it may cost Rs. 13.15 crores.

It is worth mentioning that a truck carriage 6 tonnes of fodder.

500 animals may be fed with one truck load of fodder. Thus 15.152 crores will

be spent for 1251 camps for 60 days on carriage of fodder.

Work plan

1) The amount for the purchase of fodder will be spent by

Department of Animal & Fisheries Resources.

2) District administration will bear the extra cost on carriage with the

fund made available to it by Department of Disaster management.

3) Assessment for the medicines, chemicals etc. will be made by

concerned veterinary officers.

4) Stocks verification of the items purchased by DAHO will be done

by District Administration.

Assistance sought as per CRF/NCCF norms for 2010- Drought

(Rs. In Crores)

Items Assessment for assistance

1 Provision of fodder in the cattle camps 112.800

2 Water Supply in cattle camps 2.002

3 Additional Cost of Medicines & Vaccines (Calamity related requirements)

3.230

4 Transportation of fodder from fodder depot 13.150

T o t a l

131.182 or

say 131.18

27

Thus, the total cost of contingency plan for cattle requires Rs. 131.18

Crore as per CRF/ NCCF norms.

VIII. Employment Sector Rural Employment

In Bihar about 40-60% people are landless labourers. In the drought

situation, acute shortage of employment in rural areas occurs. Hence, a large

population would be in search of employment in the drought affected areas.

In Bihar the major programme for generation of employment is taken

up under Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme

(MNREGS). It is operational in all districts of Bihar. A total of 95, 22,677 job

cards have been issued to poor families in the rural areas of 28 worst drought

affected districts till June, 2010.

Plan of Action

In view of large demand of employment in drought affected areas we

have to launch special schemes for employment.

The Department has directed at the District Programme Co-ordinators

to continue execution of schemes in rainy season and to ensure measurement

of the earthwork after every two days. They have been asked to ensure that

adequate number of technically approved schemes in the shelf of projects of

all the panchayats in the state is kept ready and labour budget is reassessed

in the drought affected areas, accordingly.

As against approved Labour Budget (FY 10-11) in the 28 worst drought

affected districts to the tune of Rs. 3247.647 crore concomitant with Central

Liability of Rs. 3117.74 crore, the Central Government till date has released

Rs. 863.31 crore in above mentioned districts. After accounting for the opening

balance of Rs. 350.48 crore, it is proposed that the entire unreleased amount

of Rs. 1903.95 crore central share to these districts be released in a single

tranche at the earliest. The district wise detail for the release of Central Share

under MNREGA is given at annexure 8.

However, to provide employment of 100 days under MNREGA, a labour

budget of Rs. 17264.68 crore would be needed. The concomitant central

28

liability in the budget would be Rs. 16574.09 crore. Hence after we spend the

approved labour budget as above, we would approach for the remaining

amount of central liability which would be Rs. 16574.09 – 3117.74 = Rs.

13456.35 crore. The district wise detail for requirement of labour budget for

100 man days is given at annexure 8.1

Line departments are also being asked to prepare additional projects

which shall be included in the shelf of projects to be cleared by respective Zila

Parishads.

A special drive is being launched in the drought affected districts to give

job cards to those who may ask for it.

IX. Energy Sector

a. Power Subsidy Bihar State Electricity Board has started providing power to rural

areas continuously for five to six hours since 24.7.2010, in view of

drought like situation prevailing in various districts. Bihar State

Electricity Board will incur an estimated loss of Rs.35.25 crore per

month and Rs 105.75 crore for three months because of tariff pattern in

rural areas.

b. Requirement of additional power

The availability of power from Central Sector is around 1150

MW - 1200 MW against allocation of 1692 MW. The average demand

has shot up to 2500 MW over the months. The frequency has also

come down owing to increased demand over the Eastern Region.

Under the circumstances, the drawl of power from U.I. (Un-scheduled

Interchange) for additional power requirement for providing supply to

rural areas will be too costly and prohibitive. Further, such power from

U.I. can only be drawn observing the stringent grid discipline. Hence, it

is essential that a minimum additional allocation a s well as

availability of power to the tune of 330 MW is done to meet the

emergent requirements of rural areas.

29

Thus, the total financial liability to meet the pow er requirements

would be Rs 105.75 crore. And additional requiremen t of power would

be 330 MW.

X. Health Sector

Drought adversely impacts economy, environment, and the people’s health,

particularly the vulnerable section of the society. It is therefore required to be

prepared for combating the diseases which occur during the drought period.

Appropriate emergency medicines needs to be stockpiled. The availability of

the medicine up to the PHCs level needs to be monitored.

Along with this, to combat diseases due to/related to drought, following

actions are being taken up:

o Every district has been directed to have their own action plan, to combat

the diseases due to / related to draught action should be at three

levels:-

a) Local Level

b) In liaison with adjacent districts.

c) Division & State Level.

o Districts should incorporate the following points in their contingency

action plan.

1) In time of emergency Arrangement of tents for temporary

medical camp.

2) Arrangement of Maternity Huts for pregnant mothers.

3) Arrangement of Fogging machines with Malathion for

spraying in camps as per need.

4) Arrangement of chloroscope for monitoring the purification

of drinking water (training of the paramedical for such).

5) Arrangement of mobile medical units (Van) with

Pathological / X-ray and drug distribution facility.

6) Arrangement of ambulance with life saving drugs &

equipments.

7) Arrangement of vehicles for medical mobile team.

30

8) Arrangement of Isolation Ward in institution / medical

colleges/ districts hospitals/ sub divisional hospitals &

referral hospitals to combat the epidemic outbreak.

9) Arrangement of medical mobiles team with two additional

medical mobile team (with fuel) - that can be sent to other

disaster effected districts.

10) Arrangement of Mal - Nutrition Centers.

11) Arrangement of Psychological counsellor - during / after

draught.

12) Arrangement of routine immunizations, special

immunization programmes & National programmes.

13) Arrangement of funds for deputed medical officers /

paramedical other then the districts (TA /DA etc.).

14) In special circumstances at sensitive places deputation of

medical officers/ paramedical- maximum for three months

/ till the epidemic exists.

o Other then the above any experiences learned from previous disaster

will be incorporated into contingencies action plan from time-to-time.

o Dy. Director, Health Services, Nodal Officer for Disaster Management

would act as coordinator supported by OSD for epidemic & Disaster

Management.

To combat the diseases due to / related to Drought in a population of more

than 1 crore 50 lakh families, arrangements have to be made for drugs, mobile

medical teams and temporary medical camps. The estimated expenditure on

such arrangements would be Rs 4.50 crore.

XI. Bank Loan

At times of crises like the present drought, it would be extremely difficult for the

farmers to repay the loans taken for agriculture. The State on its own has

suspended the collection of Cooperative bank loans. Commercial bank loans

should also be rescheduled and the interest for the current year be deferred/

waived as per RBI guidelines. Banks should provide consumption loans and

also agricultural loans at low rates of interest.
