Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare

Government initiatives are bolstering India's agricultural sector, aiming to enhance productivity and farmer incomes. The Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare recently sanctioned over ₹1200 crore to ten states under the PM-RKVY scheme, alongside a nationwide campaign to protect crops and monthly reviews to strengthen Centre-State coordination. Progress on the PM Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana, focused on low-productivity districts, demonstrates convergence of various government schemes and improved performance scores, while Kharif crop area coverage currently stands at 1086.31 lakh hectares, with pulses showing increased planting. These efforts signal a continued focus on modernizing agriculture and ensuring food security, though state-level variations in crop coverage warrant close monitoring.
