The State that just had grappled with the calamity caused by hail in Feb. and March, 2013, has to face the calamity again occurred due to heavy rains and floods. Major rivers of Madhya Pradesh mainly Narmada and Tapti were flowing above the danger mark due to heavy downpour in their catchment area which is the major cultivation area of the State. Besides, due to release of excess flood water from major dams built on Narmada river like Bargi, Tawa and Omkareshwar, most of the kharif cropped area particularly soyabeen in many districts in central and western region of the State like Hoshangabad, Harda, Betul, Chhindwara, Jabalpur, Raisen, Sehore, Dewas etc. remained inundated for several days which resulted into heavy damage of kharif crops particularly soyabeen. Apart from the crop damage, the heavy rains and flood has also caused loss to many human lives and cattle. Most of the low lying areas of above mentioned districts were submerged and due to this local inhabitants suffered severe losses.

The district administration had undertaken rescue and relief operations in the flood affected villages and provided food, shelter, medicines and other essential items to the affected people. More than 225 relief camps were opened in different places in 12 affected districts. The families kept in relief camps were offered free food and other necessary assistance in accordance with the guidelines of the Govt. of India as well as of the State Government.

The district administration opened relief camps at safe locations to provide assistance to the people. The Army columns and Air Force helicopters were immediately called and deployed in the flood affected areas to rescue the people affected by the flood. Despite best possible efforts made by the State Government to provide all possible help to the affected people, there has been an irrepairable loss to the people due to natural calamity which has been assessed by the teams of officials as per the prescribed norms of the State Government under the Revenue Book Circular (RBC) Part VI-4. The State Government is continuously disbursing gratuitous relief to affected families under this provision. 5.

According to the latest estimates, Rs crore is required for disbursement of cash grants for above purpose. 9. Relief camps had also been opened in the affected area. The details of expense incurred in making arrangements of temporary relief camps and expense incurred on providing food, clothes and medicines to affected people are given in Appendix-III. An amount of 5.24 crore has been spent on this head.

The total number of such farmers affected for the first time is 0.27 lakh and the number of such farmers affected successively is 1.46 lakh who should be given the agriculture input assistance of Rs crore. The details are shown in Appendix-V. 11. As estimated, there has been a loss of total 1166 cattle. Details of the assistance to be disbursed to the farmers engaged in animal husbandry is given in Appendix-VI and accordingly an amount of Rs.1.32 crore is required for this purpose.

9 12. As reported above, a total of 798 pucca houses and 10,610 kachcha houses have been fully damaged and 44,660 houses have been partially damaged and 1,52,462 have been severely damaged and 3997 huts have been destroyed. An amount of Rs crore is required to provide assistance against the above losses for repair and restorations of their houses is as per Appendix-VII. 13. Assistance for repair and restoration of damaged infrastructure is also required because there has been heavy damage caused by heavy rains and floods to roads, power supply lines, irrigation tanks canals, water supply system,, culverts and bridges in in Madhya Pradesh. A comprehensive survey has been done by the respective technical departments and estimated damage of such infrastructure is calculated based on their manuals. An amount of Rs crore is required for immediate repair of such damaged infrastructure as per details given in Appendix-VIII. 14. The size of State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) is Rs crore for Madhya Pradesh during current financial year Rs. 384 crore has already been released from this Fund against the losses due to other natural calamities like hailstorms and frost occurred in Feb.-March, 2013 and Uttarakhand disaster in June, 2013 before the current disaster caused by heavy rains and floods during monsoon During the current year , the 1st instalment of Center's shate under SDRF and Rs crore has been received by inclusion of State share of Rs , the actual SDRF available for year till date is of Rs crore. The details of SDRF are given in Appendix-IX.

Gratuitous Relief Amount Required (Rs in Lakh) Total (Rs. in Lakhs) (a) Human lives lost Search & Rescue operations (a) Air Force fare (bills not available).approx Clearance of affected areas (a) Temporary accommodation (b) Food (c) Clothing and Medical care Agriculture (a) Input subsidy to SMF (b) Input subsidy to other than SMF Animal Husbandry - assistance to small and marginal farmers (a) Milch Animal- buffalo, cow etc (b) Milch Animal- sheep, goat etc (c) Drought Animals- bullock etc (d) Drought Animals-Calf Housing (a) Fully damaged Pucca Houses (b) Fully damaged kuchcha house (c) Partially Pucca/Kuchcha house Infrastructure (a) Rural Dev (b) PWD Road (c) Urban (UAD) (d) Irrigation (e) Power Total

11 16. It is evident from the details of losses and SDRF as shown above, the State does not have sufficient funds as of now in current financial year to combat the calamity caused by heavy rains and floods. The size of SDRF for current year is Rs crore, out of which Rs crore has been spent so far. During current year , 1st installment of the Centre's share under SDRF of Rs crore has been received and 2nd installment is yet to be received. If 2nd installment equivalent to that of 1st installment is received and after inclusion of State share for both installments, even then the State will be left with only Rs crore under SDRF. As five months of the current financial year are still left, it is imperative to keep this fund intact for the probable calamities in future. 17. The harvesting of kharif crops is currently going on in the State which will be over by 10th Nov As reported above, the survey of losses before crop cutting experiment has been completed under the supervision of District Collectors. Had the calamity due to heavy rains and floods not been occurred, the benefits of kharif crop would have been taken by the farmers by this period. Therefore, the affected farmers are constantly demanding the relief amount against their damaged crop. Even the groups of farmers are staging dharnas/ protests in affected districts in supports of their demands. Memorandums for immediate disbursement of relief are continuously being received by the State Government. In this situation, if disbursement of relief to the farmers for their damaged crop is further delayed, it may lead to law and order situation. 18. The Revenue Book Circular (RBC) Part VI-4 contains the norms regarding sanctioning the financial assistance to the families/ farmers affected from natural calamities in the State. The said provisions are operative as executive instructions of the State Government for past many decades. In some cases RBC Part VI-4 norms for relief are more liberal than the norms laid down by the Govt. of India under NDRF. The assessment of losses occurred due to heavy rains and flood in affected districts, has been calculated as per the provisions laid down in RBC Part VI-4. The assessment has been done by the

12 officials of Agriculture and Revenue Department under the guidance of Distt. Collectors by ensuring transparent procedure and field survey by joint teams. The assessment of infrastructure losses have been carried out by the technical officials of concerned departments as per provisions of their Manual. Though, as per RBC Part VI-4, Rs crore is required to provide financial assistance to the affected farmers against loss of crops, human lives, cattle and houses which is committed liability of the State. However, the amount of financial assistance required to be paid in consonance with the norms laid down under NDRF has been estimated to Rs crore. In addition to this, the State will require a sum of Rs crore against expenditure incurred in rescue works, relief camps and for immediate repair of damaged infrastructure. Thus, the State will need additional financial assistance of Rs crore ( ) from NDRF to meet out the losses caused due to heavy rains/ flood. 19. Hence, apart from releasing 2nd installment of Rs crore from SDRF during current financial year , the Govt. of India is requested for immediate sanction of additional central assistance (ACA) of Rs crore from NDRF.
