However, I just want to say that I am not misleading the House. The point I was talking about when I said that the Ministry of Water and Irrigation has been given resources--- The resources they have been given are to provide water to enable the people to farm. But the issue of the off-take remains the issue of the Ministry of State for Special Programmes. Indeed, in my opening remarks, I said that sufficient resources must be set aside to make sure that the off-take from the farmer will be much better and more improved this year."}
