 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
th
31 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

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
6
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.
10
 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 Plan (CMP),

Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India and the 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.

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
12
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.

13
• 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
Mark-III pump scheme worth Rs. 130.5051 crore
sanctioned.
o Mini piped water supply Scheme worth Rs. 230.88 crore
in small villages with electric pump for installing 1560 sets
sanctioned.
o Mini piped water supply Scheme worth Rs. 92.9445 crore
in remote villages with solar pump for installing 473 sets
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.

14
 • 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.

15
 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:

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

20
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 the 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 requirement to tackle drought in the Minor Water 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

22
crores (Annexure 5-i). The overall assistance sought from Central Government
admissible under CRF is given in Table 8 below.

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
23
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 crores 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 nutrition 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:-

24
(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.

25
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 cattle 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.

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
27
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 as well as
availability of power to the tune of 330 MW is done to meet the
emergent requirements of rural areas.

28
 Thus, the total financial liability to meet the power requirements
would be Rs 105.75 crore. And additional requirement 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.

29
 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.
