As a result of enhanced allocation available with the states on account of implementation
of recommendations of 14th Finance Commission, the central allocation for CDP has been
reduced to Rs. 250 crore. Therefore, it is provisionally proposed that CDP would be
implemented with sharing pattern of 50:50 between Central and State with effect from 2015-16
in order to ensure that the investment in agriculture does not go down. States are requested to
provide required State share in their budget of 2015-16. State wise allocations including states'
share is as below:
