Signing of the agreements took place in the presence of Chief Minister Raghuvar Das. "The first programme, 'Teaching at the Right Level' (TaRL), was developed by Pratham and rigorously evaluated by J-PAL through six randomised evaluations in India. TaRL has been found to consistently improve basic language and mathematics skills of children at the primary level by targeting teaching to the level of the child. "Since 2010, 13.8 million students have participated in programmes based on TaRL implemented directly by Pratham or in partnership with state governments in India. As per the MoU, TaRL scale-up led by the government of Jharkhand will reach over 6.5 lakh children across 12,000 schools in 15 districts in 2016-17 alone," said a statement issued by J-PAL. The second programme - 'Targetingthe Hardcore Poor' (THP) - has been implemented by Bandhan Konnagar in India, and tested by J-PAL researchers across six countries (including India). The programme has been consistently found to have lasting impacts on income, consumption and well-being of the poorest of the poor, enabling them to graduate out of extreme poverty. Since 2011, through THP, Bandhan has reached over 33,500 ultra-poor women in India, benefiting over 117,000 people. The Chief Minister gave instructions to begin the programme in two districts that require the most attention to alleviate extreme poverty - West Singbhum and Dumka. The evidence-based programme is expected to lift 2,000 households out of extreme poverty over 24 months, the statement said. The government of Jharkhand also signed to collaborate with J-PAL South Asia at IFMR for conducting new research to evaluate the impact of electronic point of sale (ePOS) machines to improve Public Distribution System (PDS) delivery as they are introduced in districts across Jharkhand.

Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the government is also looking at greater oilseeds growth in the country to help reduce dependency on import of edible oil. "If there is so much dependency on imported edible oil, Government is definitely having plans to extend increasing the acreage under palm and oilseeds cultivation," The Minister said replying to supplementaries. Sitharaman said the growing dependency on imported edible oil is an issue of serious concern for the government and "it is looking at greater oilseeds growth in the country". She said government has also adopted a balanced duty structure on imported edible oil, including palm oil which is the cheapest edible oils on productivity per hectare. The Minister said only last month the farmers were paid record procurement prices of Rs 7,888 per metric tonne for palm oil in order to encourage palm cultivation in the country. "While edible oil imports are required to briidge the gap between domestic production and consumption, consistent with the emphasis on self sufficiency in edible oils, Government policy is targets enhanced domestic production of oilseeds and edible oil through steps like bringing more areas under oilseeds cultivation, improving productivity of oilseeds cultivation, tapping new sources of edible oil and market intervention through Minismum Support Price," the Minister said in her written reply.
