The Prime Minister is set to launch two major agriculture schemes with a combined outlay of Rs 35,440 crore. Among them, the PM Dhan Dhaanya Krishi Yojana, with an allocation of Rs 24,000 crore, aims to enhance agricultural productivity, promote crop diversification, and encourage sustainable farming practices.

The scheme also focuses on augmenting post-harvest storage at the panchayat and block levels, improving irrigation facilities, and facilitating access to both long-term and short-term credit in 100 selected districts. These measures are expected to strengthen the agriculture sector, improve farmer incomes, and ensure better resource utilization.
