The GOI has released Rs 30.00 crore till date .Therefore, an amount of Rs 28.25 crore is yet to be released from GOI. This may kindly be released at earliest possible. We already have payment to liability of over Rs.10.00 crore for seed distributed in Rabi Season and Rs.5.00 crore’ pending liability in field which is pending for want of funds. • Settlement of claims under national agriculture insurance scheme (NAIS):- Release of balance amount of crop compensation by GOI for Kharif 2005 (Rs. 26.13 crore ) and Rabi 2005-06 (Rs. 6.48 crore) total amounting to Rs. 32.61 crore. • Inclusion of some more districts under NFSM - State of Rajasthan has submitted a proposal of inclusion of new districts as under: • NFSM Wheat- 9 districts viz.
