input because we have development officers, then you have agriculture extension officers. So these all in first picture is expenses on the infrastructure mostly. And also, yes, there is subsidy here.

So actually, subsidy, because after this liberalization policy, we have tried to do remedy because we are not giving subsidy only to a few selected for parties in the northeast region. Then also for seed transportation to transport the seed in the very remote areas. So they give them transport subsidy for seed development plus we give some subsidy on fertilizer input because fertilizer. But otherwise, for machinery, for marketing, for other things, there is no subsidy. But we give them marketing support, like supporting the cost of production of per year of rice at 200 rupees per quintel. So we will see that the farmer gets about 200 of this. So he will make a margin of 100 rupees on his investment so that when the prices get collected every year, all the cost of production is taken into account. There is what is known as the Committee on Agriculture Cost and Prices. So the Com-mission on Agriculture Cost and Prices, every year, goes through the details of the in-vestment which the farmer has to make, and then they fix the prices so that the farmer can get some profitable income out of that, plus so that the consumer, like me, is not into hardship. If they fix the price very high, then I will have to suffer. So there is a balance between the cost for the producer and for the consumer like me.

HON. SYED ZAFAR ALI SHAR (PAKISTAN):

Thank you very much for giving me this time, I'm really very much interested in this impressive paper of Dr. Chadha since India is self-sufficient. So I don't think they need this food security. I would just mention in favor of those countries who are still not self-sufficient, who are depending on their imports, the countries which really need the global supervision and the areas in dire need of security regarding the food. There are three factors -- one is the resource, one is the manpower, and then the technology. These countries are lacking out of these three factors, either one or two. So, these are the real countries which need global supervision to provide them the factor which they are missing. Out of these -- but of the resource...(Sound defect).,.rice, wheat, corn and such things. That needs proper integration and these resources could be introduced so that farmers and fishermen can get the know-how and enrich their talents by utilizing these resources. And they would also be in dire need of infrastructure, like you mentioned, that they might need some pilot projects and all such things.

This morning, I talked to the Professor. He heard of some problems in our part of Pakistan, which I come from. We have two problems. One problem in that part of the country is that of silt. We have the water level up to the surface. So, that makes the ground "incredible". So, we put in two wells to drain the water, to make the water level drop.

In the other part of the country which I come from, we have the only source of water for our agriculture is underground water. The underground water level is 400 feet to 500 feet below ground level. To pump that water for agriculture purposes, we need electricity. So, that electricity costs us ten times that of another country where the water level is just I O feet or 12 feet below ground level. So, I'm sure that there are also such problems in other
