The Constitution of India provides for taking care of some of the backward areas of India in terms of giving a Development Board for them. In Maharashtra, we created one such board for the rest of maharashtra. I would request the hon. Minister to consider the demand. This is a demand which has been pending before the Government for a long time. It was also a demand made by the State Government as well. I have been a Member of Parliament representing the Konka Region. I would request the hon. Minister to consider this. Can he create a new framework, a new regime in which the region like the Konka Region it is one of the most backward ones, which has a potential to grow can really be taken care of? The Government has taken credit for a laudable programme which has been endoresed by almost all the Parties in Parliament. The Government said that we must writee off loan of farmers. But there are many segments of farmers who have not yet been covered by this Loan Waiver Scheme. For example, the fishermen are there who cannot be treated differently. Fishermen also depend on farmers. They do fishing in the sea. The farmers do it on land. The farmers get the benefit of loan waiver programme. Can we not think of having a loan waiver programme for the fishermen as well on the same lines of the farmers? I am just winding it up with this. So, something needs to be done in this respect. My request to the hon. Minister Shri Pranab Mukherjee is this. He is a very knowledgeable person. I do not see anyone as knowledgeable and as experienced as he is. I would request him to spell out an agenda for the future. What needs to be done is known to us. But how it needs to be done is something important.
