1. Introduction
Agricultural development of a region is determined by the level of infrastructural
status supporting the agriculture sector. A reasonable level of infrastructure that caters to the
focused and overall progress of agriculture and allied sectors is inevitable. Therefore, it is apt
that under the Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY), support for augmenting the same is
planned since the inception of the Scheme in year 2007 and more emphatically in the XII
Five Year plan. In order to plan for the development of the infrastructure, it is a pre-requisite
to take stock of the general economy of the district and the agriculture sector’s status.
The RKVY scheme of the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation (DAC),
Ministry of Agriculture was started in the XI plan period with full Central grants across
states. Projects focused in the XII plan are for crop development, horticulture, agricultural
mechanization, natural resource management, marketing and post-harvest management,
animal husbandry, dairy development, fisheries, extension etc. About 5768 projects were
implemented with an expenditure of Rs.21587 cr under RKVY. Thus, agriculture got a fillip
and could achieve a growth rate of 3.64 per cent/ yr during XI plan compared to 2.46 per cent
in the X plan period. In order to continue the momentum and also give fillip to the
infrastructure development, the RKVY scheme came up with a separate focus on
infrastructure and brought out the Operational guidelines. Accordingly the states were
advised to come up with two separate set of plans - Comprehensive District Agricultural
Plans (CDAP) and State Agriculture Infrastructure Development Plans (SAIDP). The SAIDP
plan preparation was initiated with twin objectives viz. District level plans encompassing
plans for all the agriculture and allied sectors with overall development and the other was the
State (Andhra Pradesh) plan as a whole (sector specific plans in that). The district plans were
prepared by involving stakeholders (line department officials, farmers, NGOs and private
companies etc.) and by field visits to existing and potential sites. On the other hand, the state
level sectoral plans were prepared by involving the state level line department functionaries
and other stakeholders. Of course the state (sectoral) plan is a compilation of district plans
across sectors.
The State Agriculture Infrastructure Development Plan report comprises of the following
sections:

2. General profile of the State
2.1. Introduction
The present state of Andhra Pradesh is the remainder of the state of undivided Andhra
Pradesh after bifurcation in 2014 with the jurisdiction of nine Coastal Andhra and four
Rayalaseema districts. The original/undivided state of Andhra Pradesh was first among the
states to be formed on linguistic basis on 1st November 1956. The newly formed residuary
state of Andhra Pradesh took its birth on 2nd June 2014. The state has certain geographical
advantages which will be handy for it to rise to the expectations of the population. The state
is also endowed with natural resources such as minerals, forests, agricultural diversity among
others.
The state is primarily dependent on agriculture as vast areas of land is committed to
this sector besides dependence on allied sectors such as animal husbandry, fisheries and
sericulture among others. The states map with district boundaries and their bordering states is
given in fig 1. The state has 13 districts, 42 revenue divisions and 666 mandals. The map
indicating the mandal boundaries is in fig 2.

2.2. Land use status
The state has a total geographical area of 162440.1 km2 area. Of this most of the area is in
agricultural use (48 %). The next major use is forests (21 %). Waste lands covered 9.8 per
cent of the state’s area. The water bodies occupy another six percent while the built up area
accounted for three per cent of the geographical area (fig 3 & Table 1). The river basins and
location of water bodies is marked in fig 4.

The state of Andhra Pradesh has relatively moderate level of ground water status with 561
(84 %) of mandals falling in the safe category. Whereas 46 mandals (7 %) are classified as
semi critical, 12 mandals as critical (2 %) and remaining 45 mandals (7 %) are over exploited
(Fig 5 & Table 2).

7. Issues and Strategies for Infrastructure Development
The state of Andhra Pradesh is challenged with several issues in agriculture and allied
sectors. Many of these are concerned with the natural resources coupled with the
management of the farms and the enterprises. Some of the most common and frequent issues
concerning agriculture in the state are –
Frequent droughts in some areas and cyclones in some other areas.
Almost absence of quality management in inputs except for notional quality control
measures from the concerned departments.
Frequent market failures for several commodities
Inadequate and poor quality infrastructure not only for core agriculture but also for
the allied sectors
Technology adoption is moderate to high in central costal districts while it is low to
medium in the other districts
Marketing and value addition infrastructure is highly inadequate that needs urgent
attention
Some of the strategies that need to be adopted on priority are as follows:
Setting up an agricultural policy research institute in ANGRAU for taking up research
on topical issues and advising the State from time to time.
Establish a permanent agriculture commission on the lines of Punjab state
The State Level Coordination committee must meet frequently to discuss various
issues of RKVY scheme implementation.
Create a matching fund by pooling funds from agricultural cess (from markets) and
budgetary support of the state
Promote district level agricultural advisory bodies by drafting serving and retired
scientists and line department officials besides representatives from NGOs and
farmers.

8. Conclusions and recommendations
Andhra Pradesh which was called as the rice bowl of South India lost its glory because of
several reasons. In the past two decades also the concerns of farmers due to switch over to
commercial crops like cotton, chillies and maize have left them more in distress than in
stability. Although green revolution did contribute moderately to the state for the growth of
agriculture but it got the fillip in the late 1960s and 70s which was later turned into a great
opportunity by the state due to sheer hardship and innovations of farming community. The
developments of allied sectors in the next two to three decades gave the much required
support to the farmers. The various schemes introduced by the centre and the subsequently by
the state to bring vibrancy in agriculture and allied sectors has kept it going at a moderate
pace. It is now time that schemes like RKVY have given the much required space and
opportunity to grow for the Sunrise state such as Andhra Pradesh. Accordingly the
infrastructure development plan for the state of AP is prepared with an outlay of Rs.341714
lakhs (78 % district plan + 22 % State plan).
