ORDER:
In the G.O.
first read above, the Government have announced
New Anna Marumalarchi Thittam for the promotion
of Agro and Food Processing Small Scale Industries
in all the 385 blocks of the State with a minimum
Capital Investment of Rs.1.00 Crore per block.
2. In the G.O. second read above, the activities
connected with fisheries such as Coastal Aqua Culture,
Freshwater Prawn Culture, Mud Crab fattening, Lobster
fattening, Pearl Culture were included in the list
of eligible activity under New Anna Marumalarchi
Thittam.
3. In the G.O. third read above, Government have
ordered that the activities brought under the cover
of New Anna Marumalarchi Thittam in the G.O. second
above, although not registerable under Small Scale
Industries category as per the Development Commissioner
(Small Scale Industries) Government of India Guidelines,
such units are eligible for subsidy under New Anna
Marumalarchi Thittam as they were permitted under
the scheme subject to fulfilling the norms prescribed
under New Anna Marumalarchi Thittam.
4. The Industries Commissioner and Director of
Industries and Commerce has stated that the issue
of extending the benefits of New Anna Marumalarchi
Thittam to other non Small Scale Industries activities
namely Cut flower and Mush room cultivation, was
placed in 7th State Level Monitoring Committee
meeting held on 19.8.2004 and it was decided to
include these activities also for assistance under
the New Anna Marumalarchi Thittam though these
activities are not registerable under Small Scale
Industries category, in view of the huge domestic
and export market potential available for such
products. It was also decided to include all such
agro based / food processing activities, which
are not registerable under the Small Scale Industries
category as per the guide lines of Government of
India issued from time to time but on fulfilling
the norms of New Anna Marumalarchi Thittam with
the clearance issued by State Level Coordination
Committee for extending benefits under New Anna
Marumalarchi Thittam.
5. Therefore, the Industries Commissioner and
Director of Industries and Commerce in his letter
5th read above requested the Government to issue
orders for bringing the activities like Cut Flower
cultivation, mushroom cultivation and such other
agro based activities which are cleared by the
State Level Coordination Committee meeting to be
assisted under New Anna Marumalarchi Thittam eventhough
they may not be registerable as Small Scale Industries
units as per the Government of India guidelines
and to extend the relaxation to all the units which
were approved from the date of issue of Government
Order first read above for New Anna Marumalarchi
Thittam viz., i.e. 28.6.2002.
6. The proposal of the Industries Commissioner
and Director of Industries and Commerce fifth read
above was examined by Government in consultation
with the Commissioner of Horticulture and Plantation
Crops who in the letter sixth read above reported
that cut flowers are grown in controlled atmosphere
in polygreen house, in fertigated conditionality
with high capital cost. Mushrooms are the new addition
to the field of Horticulture. Mushrooms are the
fruiting bodies of many saprophytic species of
fungi. Some of these species are edible. Cultivation
of mushroom is assuming greater commercial significance
and has emerged as hi-tech high value venture.
Quite a few projects have been established as export
oriented mushroom production. Since mushrooms are
highly perishable, they cannot be exported in their
fresh foom and necessarily will have to be processed.
Hence mushroom processing unit is also an integral
part of mushroom production. Hence he has recommended
to include both cut flower and mushroom cultivation
under New Anna Marumalarchi Thittam with all support
including subsidy and bank loan facility at subsidised
rate of interest.
7. The Government have carefully examined the
proposal of the Industries Commissioner and Director
of Industries and Commerce fifth read above in
the light of report of the Commissioner of Horticulture
and Plantation Crops sixth read above and have
decided to accept the proposal of the Industries
Commissioner and Director of Industries and Commerce
for bringing the activities like Cut Flower cultivation,
mushroom cultivation and such other agro based
activities, which are cleared by the SLCC meeting
to be assisted under New Anna Marumalarchi Thittam
eventhough they may not be registerable as Small
Scale Industries units as per the Government of
India guidelines and to extend the relaxation to
all the units which were approved from the date
of issue of Government Order first read above for
New Anna Marumalarchi Thittam i.e. 28.6.2002.
8. Accordingly, they direct that the activities
like Cut Flower cultivation, mushroom cultivation
and such other agro based activities, which are
cleared by the SLCC meeting, shall be assisted
under New Anna Marumalarchi Thittam, eventhough
they may not be registerable as Small Scale Industries
units as per the Government of India guidelines.
They also direct that this relaxation be extended
to all the units which were approved from the date
of issue of the G.O. first read above.
9. This order issues with the concurrence of Finance
vide its UO Note No.3118/FS/P/05 dated 4.9.2005.
