NEW DELHI: In its effort to double farmers’ income by 2022, the government on Wednesday approved continuation of the agri umbrella scheme—‘Green Revolution – Krishonnati Yojana’—with a central outlay of over Rs 33,269 crore till March 31, 2020.
The programme was launched last year after clubbing the existing 11 different schemes for better implementation and monitoring. The 11 schemes, focussing on creating/strengthening of infrastructure of production, reducing output cost and marketing of agriculture and allied produce, have been under implementation for the past few years.
“The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) approved the umbrella scheme in agriculture sector beyond 12th five year plan for the period from 2017-18 to 2019-20,” said Union law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad.
