Prime Minister Dhan Dhanya Krishi Yojana: Developing agri-districts programme

The programme is set to cover 100 districts, improve irrigation facilities, and facilitate availability of long-term and short-term credit among other benefits. The programme is likely to help 1.7 crore farmers. Building rural prosperity and resilience will be done by a programme which will be launched in partnership with the States. This will address under-employment in agriculture through skilling, investment, technology, and invigorating the rural economy. The programme will focus on rural women, farmers, rural youth, marginal and small farmers, and landless families. Global and domestic best practices will be incorporated and appropriated in technical and financial assistance. 

In Phase-I, 100 developing agri-districts will be covered
