The Union Cabinet has recently approved the Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare’s proposal to consolidate various Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS) into two main umbrella schemes: the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (PM-RKVY) and the Krishonnati Yojana (KY). This strategic move aims to promote sustainable agriculture through PM-RKVY and enhance food security and agricultural self-sufficiency via KY. With a total proposed expenditure of ₹1,01,321.61 crore, these schemes will be executed by State Governments, ensuring continuity and effective implementation of existing initiatives.
Both schemes will leverage advanced technology to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of their components, ensuring better outcomes for farmers.
The new framework allows for the continuation of existing schemes while adopting a mission-mode approach for critical areas such as the National Mission for Edible Oil-Oil Palm (NMEO-OP), Clean Plant Program, Digital Agriculture, and the National Mission for Edible Oil-Oil Seeds (NMEO-OS). This consolidation reflects a commitment to improving farmer welfare and modernizing agricultural practices, linking past efforts to current needs for sustainability and food security.
The Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) – Remunerative Approaches for Agriculture and Allied Sector Rejuvenation (RAFTAAR) aims to enhance the economic viability of farming by supporting farmers, mitigating risks, and fostering agri-business entrepreneurship.
