MINISTER OS SURFACE TRANSPORT(SHRI R.L. JALAPPA) (a) No, Sir. (b) There is no compromise formula. (c) Presently around Rs. 4/- per bag. (d) And (c) The jute bags were used in cement industry without much problems upto end of eighties and were not considered unsuiable for packing cement. However, some perceptions differ in this matter and no final consenus has emerged as yet. Various study reports (like National Council for Cement and Bulding Materials)establish that seepage loss occurs in case of bothHDPE and jute bags and is only marginally higher (about 0.4%) in case of jute bags.Jute bags are advantageous in use because of being more comfortable to handle, easier to grip, less harsh on hands, back & shoulders, more suitable for building stacks, could be easily printed with the aqueous or oil based inks, easily repairable, withstand hooking and above all are bio-degrable, non-pollution eco-friendly bags with higher value. While fixing percentage reservation for use of jute bags for packing cement and some other commodities the opinion of the concered industry is also considered.

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA MINISTRY OFTEXTILES RAJYA SABHA QUESTION NO07.08.1997 ANSWERED ON LOSS OF JOBS OF TEXTILE WORKERS OF NTC . 3480 SHRI GOVINDRAM MIRI Will the Minister of TEXTILES be pleased to state :- (a) whether it is a fact that about 67,000 textiles of NTC are likely to loss their jobs; (b) if so, details thereof NTC-Uni-wise; (c) the circumstances that led to such a situation and (d) the steps if any, taken/contemplated by Government to stop/contain it? ANSWER
MINISTER OS SURFACE TRANSPORT(SHRI R.L. JALAPPA) (a) to (d) The mills under NTC have been incurring losses due to obsollete machinery, excess manpower , acute shorage of working capital etc. On account of their net worth erosion, 8 out of the 9 subsidiary corporation of NTC have been referred to and declared sick by the BIFR. Government approved in May, 1995 a revised Turn Around Plan involving modernisation of 79 mills at an outlay of Rs. 2005.72 crores, reatructuring of 36 unviable mills into 18 viable miils by merger and coverage of 32,900 employees under VRS. The funds for modernisation were to come from the sale of surplus lands ans assets. This package has been placed before the BIFR which has found the same not viavble in respect of four subsidiaries, namely, NTC(Guj), NTC(UP), NTC(MP) and NTC(WBAB&O) LTds. Due to their net worth not becoming positive in the stipulated period of 10 years unless Government loans and interest thereon are waived. The BIFR has, therefor, issued show cause notices for winding up these four subsidiaries. In respect of the remaining four subsidiaries, namely, NTC(APKK&M), NTC(MN), NTC(SM) and NTC(DP&R) Ltd., the BIFR has approved rehabilitation scheme seeking additional concessions from the Government. It may be added that NTC is implementing a Voluntary Retirement Scheme to rationalise the surplus work force. Since the scheme is purely voluntry with additional financial denefits, no workers of NTC have beneen forced to leave. The Turn Around Plan as indicated above could not be implemented till date due to non-approval by BIFR and also the relunctance of the State Government of Maharastra in approving the sale of surplus lands of NTC mills located in Mumbai, from where more than 80% of the sale proceeds are estimated. The NTC has in the above background reviewed the unit-wise viability of NTC mill, keeping in approved rehabilitation scheme seeking additional concessions from the Government. It may be added that NTC is implementing a Voluntary Retirement Scheme to rationalise the surplus work force.

ANSWER
S THE MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE (SHRI CHATURANAN MISHRA): (a) and (b) Major agricultural input subsidies given to farmers are fertilizers, irrigation power and credit subsidy . Direct subsidy on urea is given by the Central Government to manufactures of fertilizers to enable them to make available the fertilizer at reduced rates to the farmers. Urea is subsidised and sold at a uniform price of Rs.3660/- per tonne through out the country. In addition the Department of Agriculture & cooperation is implementing, from Rabi 1992-93, a scheme of concession on sale of phosphatic and potassic (p&k) fertilizers to the farmers on the following: (Rs. per tonne) _______________________________________________________________________________ _________ Product Rate of concession from 1.4.1997 _______________________________________________________________________________ _________ Indigenous DAP 3750 Imported DAP 2250 MOP 2000 SSP 600 Indigenous complexes 1149-2320 _______________________________________________________________________________ _________ Since there ids no mechanism to pay directly to the farmers, the subsidy/ concession is routed through the fertilizer suppliers. The provision in RE 1996 -97 and in BE 1997-98 for the payment of subsidy on urea and concession on p&k fertilizers is given below: (Rs. in crores) _______________________________________________________________________________ __________ subsidy Concession on on urea p&k fertilizers _______________________________________________________________________________ __________ RE 1996-97 6093 1674 BE 1997-98 7190 2000 (proposed)

All these subsidies/concession are available to all the categories of framers including small and marginal farmers. (c) and (d) No study has been conducted to verify whether such subsidies/concession reach to the targeted population. However, it is not practically feasible to pay the subsidies/ concessions directly to the farmers whose number is nearly 105 million and spread over the length and breadth of the country. All the policy guidelines for payment of subsidies/concessions are done keeping in view the interest of the farmers.
