Will the Minister of AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE be pleased to state: (a) the details of crop varieties which have been developed during the last five years using radiation technique; (b) the features or characteristics of the newly introduced crop varieties that distinguish them from the earlier varieties; (c) whether any assessment or examination has been undertaken regarding the safety of these new varieties for consumption; (d) if so, the details of the studies or evaluations conducted in this regard; and (e) whether these crop varieties have been released after field trials for cultivation by the farmers and if so, the details thereof? THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND FARMERS WELFARE (SHRI BHAGIRATH CHOUDHARY): (a) During the last 5 years, a total of 23 varieties were released for cultivation by using radiation techniques. These include 7 varieties of rice, 5 of mustard, 3 of black gram (urad), 3 of sorghum (jowar), 2 of groundnut, one of mung bean, one of sesamum(til) and one of banana. Till date 72 improved crop varieties 16.12.2025 136 were developed through radiation and released for cultivation. (b) The new varieties are released for different agro-climatic conditions of various states and different growing seasons (rainy, post-rainy and summer). These have key desirable traits like increased yield, larger seed size, seed dormancy, early maturity, higher nutrient content, resistance to lodging, improved disease resistance and wider adaptability to abiotic stresses. (c) to (e) Yes, all varieties are absolutely safe for consumption. Radiation based mutagenesis only accelerates the natural process of mutation induction. Only seeds are exposed to radiation for inducing mutations in their DNA. This process does not make the seeds radioactive, and particularly, radiation-induced mutagenesis has been safely used for the last 8-9 decades worldwide to improve crop varieties. The newly developed mutants developed through use of radiations are thoroughly evaluated in the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) / State Agricultural University (SAU) evaluation system to test their superiority and adaptability over the existing local, zonal and national check varieties in station, multi-location and adaptive trials in the field of actual farmers. The highest-performing genotypes are also evaluated for their nutritional-quality parameters such as oil content, carbohydrate content, protein and fat content etc. After this rigorous testing, based on its superiority (over check varieties), the newly developed mutant line is recommended for release by the varietal identification committees of ICAR/SAU. All these crop varieties are officially released for cultivation by farmers following successful field trials and evaluations conducted by ICAR or SAUs at multiple locations. In this regard, 16.12.2025 137 gazette notifications for release of newly developed crop varieties have been issued by Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare (MoAFW). ELECTRIC MOBILITY 2535.

CHANDRA SHEKHAR: Will the Minister of RURAL DEVELOPMENT be pleased to state: 16.12.2025 144 (a) the details and number of women belonging to Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Other Backward Classes (SC/ST/OBC) and designated as Lakhpati Didis under the target of three crore by 2027 announced in the Budget 2025-26, category-wise; (b) whether the Ministry analysed the proportion of SC/ST women beneficiaries in the current 1.25 crore, especially considering their socio- economic status; and (c) if so, the details of measures proposed for the States where Dalit and Adivasi women reportedly face exclusion from SHGs and Drone Didi training programmes? THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RURAL DEVELOPMENT; AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS (DR. CHANDRA SEKHAR PEMMASANI): (a) Lakhpati Didi is an initiative of Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana- National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM) with the objective to empower and enable Self-Help Groups (SHG) rural women to earn a minimum income of Rupees one lakh per annum on a sustainable basis, for at least 4 agricultural seasons and/ or business cycles. As of 31.12.2024, 21.45% of total Lakhpati Didis belongs to the SC category, 14.18% belongs to the ST category, and 42.89% belongs to OBC category. (b) and (c) Under NRLM, women from Vulnerable communities including SC/STs are mobilised into SHGs in coordination with the States. The target group under DAY-NRLM is determined by a well-defined, transparent and 16.12.2025 145 equitable process of participatory identification of poor (PIP), anchored by the members of the target communities. All households identified as poor through the PIP, processes, including households with at least one deprivation, data presented to the Gram Sabha for vetting and subsequently approved by Gram Panchayat and thus become DAY-NRLM Target Group households and are eligible for all the benefits under the programme. The State Missions have been advised to prioritize Integrated Action Plan (IAP) Districts for DAY-NRLM intensive activities. The Social Management Framework (SMF) for DAY-NRLM focuses on social inclusion, social accountability and social safeguards particularly focusing on marginalized and vulnerable social groups including the Scheduled Castes (SCs) and the Scheduled Tribes (STs) and the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs). Every State has been directed to prepare a social inclusion plan to guide their efforts to mobilize vulnerable groups including the SCs and the STs into SHGs and promote their financial and economic inclusion to ensure better livelihoods. As per the “Namo Drone Didi” guidelines, the CLFs/State Level Committee identifies one active SHG member to be trained and designated as the drone pilot. हåरयाणा म¤ फेम के अंतगªत ईवी चािज«ग ÖटेशनŌ कì Öथापना 2539. ®ी जय ÿकाशः ®ी सतपाल āĺचारीः ³या भारी उīोग मंýी यह बताने कì कृपा कर¤गे िकः 16.12.2025 146 (क) ³या øमशः िहसार और सोनीपत लोक सभा िनवाªचन ±ेýŌ म¤ 'फेम' (इलेि³ůक वाहनŌ का तीĄ अंगीकरण और िविनमाªण) Öकìम के अंतगªत मौजूदा ईवी चािज«ग ÖटेशनŌ कì सं´या और ईवी चािज«ग ÖटेशनŌ कì Öथापना कì ÿिøया बहòत कम/धीमी है; (ख) यिद हां, तो इस ±ेý म¤ अब तक िकतने सावªजिनक चािज«ग ÖटेशनŌ कì Öवीकृित ÿदान कì गई है और उनम¤ से वाÖतव म¤ िकतने कायª कर रहे ह§; (ग) ³या शहरी और úामीण मागŎ पर चािज«ग नेटवकª कì कमी के कारण ई-वाहनŌ के उपयोग म¤ बाधा आ रही है और ³या इस ±ेý म¤ इलेि³ůक वाहनŌ के चािज«ग नेटवकª का िवÖतार करने के िलए हåरयाणा सरकार के समÆवय से कोई łपरेखा तैयार कì गई है; (घ) ³या सरकार ने चािज«ग ÖटेशनŌ कì Öथापना म¤ िनजी ±ेý कì भागीदारी बढ़ाने के िलए कोई ÿोÂसाहन नीित, िव°ीय सहायता या ÿायोिगक पåरयोजना तैयार कì है; (ङ) ³या िहसार को हåरयाणा का ±ेýीय इलेि³ůक वाहन चािज«ग केÆþ बनाने और भिवÕय म¤ सोनीपत को इलेि³ůक वाहन िहतेषी ±ेý बनाने के िलए कोई ठोस कायª-योजना है; और (च) ³या नगर पåरषद और राजमागª ±ेýŌ म¤ भूिम आवंटन और िबजली कने³शन कì कमी के कारण पåरयोजनाएं Łकì हòई ह§? भारी उīोग मंýालय म¤ राºय मंýी; तथा इÖपात मंýालय म¤ राºय मंýी (®ी भूपित राजू ®ीिनवास वमाª): (क) और (ख) तेल िवपणन कंपिनयŌ (ओएमसी) ने फेम-II Öकìम के तहत िहसार म¤ 45 ईवीपीसीएस और सोनीपत म¤ 22 ईवीपीसीएस Öथािपत िकए ह§, िजनम¤ से िहसार म¤ 36 ईवीपीसीएस और सोनीपत म¤ सभी 15 ईवीपीसीएस चालू हो चुके ह§। िज़ला फेम-II के अंतगªत Öथािपत ईवीपीसीएस कì सं´या फेम-II के अंतगªत ÿचािलत ईवीपीसीएस कì सं´या िहसार 45 36 सोनीपत 22 15 कुल 67 51 16.12.2025 147 (ग) भारी उīोग मंýालय (एमएचआई) Ĭारा अभी तक ऐसा कोई आकलन नहé िकया गया है। (घ) िवīुत मंýालय ने 17.09.2024 को “इलेि³ůक वाहन चािज«ग अवसंरचना कì Öथापना और संचालन के िलए िदशािनद¥श-2024” जारी िकए ह§। ये िदशािनद¥श इलेि³ůक वाहन चािज«ग बुिनयादी ढांचे के िवÖतार म¤ सावªजिनक-िनजी भागीदारी कì भूिमका पर जोर देते ह§। इलेि³ůक वाहन चािज«ग Öटेशन (ईवीसीएस) Öथािपत करना एक गैर-लाइस¤स ÿाĮ गितिविध है और िनजी संÖथाएं पूरे भारत म¤ ईवीसीएस Öथािपत करने के िलए Öवतंý ह§। (ङ) िफलहाल एमएचआई कì ऐसी कोई योजना नहé है। हालांिक, एमएचआई ने पीएम ई-űाइव Öकìम के तहत अिखल भारतीय Öतर पर ईवीपीसीएस कì Öथापना के िलए 2,000 करोड़ Łपये का आवंटन भी िकया है। (च) तेल िवपणन कंपिनयŌ (ओएमसी) से ÿाĮ जानकारी के अनुसार, फेम-II के तहत िहसार और सोनीपत म¤ ओएमसी Ĭारा Öथािपत 67 ईवीपीसीएस म¤ से 16 ईवीपीसीएस को अभी तक िवīुत कने³शन कì अनुपलÊधता के कारण चालू नहé िकया गया है। NAMO DRONE DIDI SCHEME 2540.
