  • Abhijit Sen Committee (2002)Formulation of a Long-Term Grain Policy recommending buffer stock norms, price stabilization, and a two-tiered PDS framework
  • Shanta Kumar Committee (2014)Structural reorganization of the Food Corporation of India (FCI) and capping NFSA beneficiary coverage at 40%
  • National Commission on Farmers / Swaminathan Committee (2006)Fixation of Minimum Support Price (MSP) at a minimum benchmark of 50% above the comprehensive cost of production (C2C_2)
  • Ramesh Chand Committee (2015)Methodological revision of CACP cost of cultivation metrics to incorporate family labor valuation, land rent, and managerial costs

Cevap

Abhijit Sen Committee (2002) matches with formulating a Long-Term Grain Policy and buffer stock norms; Shanta Kumar Committee (2014) matches with restructuring FCI and reducing NFSA beneficiary coverage to 40%; Swaminathan Committee (2006) matches with recommending MSP at 50% above comprehensive cost (C2C_2); Ramesh Chand Committee (2015) matches with revising CACP methodology for crop cost calculations.
Each agricultural committee corresponds precisely to its policy mandate: Abhijit Sen Committee formulated the Long-Term Grain Policy (2002); Shanta Kumar Committee proposed restructuring FCI and reducing NFSA coverage (2014); Swaminathan Commission recommended setting MSP at C2+50%C_2 + 50\% (2006); and Ramesh Chand Committee reviewed CACP's crop cost calculation methodology (2015).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the primary mandate of the Abhijit Sen Committee (2002).
It was mandated to formulate a Long-Term Grain Policy for India, addressing buffer stock norms, price support, and PDS mechanisms.
The committee sought to resolve structural inefficiencies in procurement and grain management during the post-Green Revolution period.
2
Analyze the primary mandate of the High-Level Committee chaired by Shanta Kumar (2014).
It recommended major reforms in Food Corporation of India (FCI) logistics, introducing Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT), outsourcing grain handling, and reducing National Food Security Act (NFSA) coverage from 67% to 40%.
The objective was restructuring food supply chain economics and curbing operational leaks.
3
Analyze the recommendation of the National Commission on Farmers / Swaminathan Committee (2006).
It recommended establishing MSP at C2+50%C_2 + 50\%, where C2C_2 includes all paid-out costs, imputed value of family labor, interest on owned capital, and land rent.
This aimed at ensuring agricultural profitability and financial stability for farm households.
4
Analyze the focus of the Ramesh Chand Committee (2015).
It addressed methodological discrepancies in CACP's cost concepts (A2A_2, A2+FLA_2+FL, and C2C_2), proposing inclusions for managerial labor costs and updated land rental values.
Farmers' organizations had raised concerns that traditional CACP estimates understated actual production costs.
