The Cabinet approves the PM Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana, a new scheme aimed at boosting farming in 100 low-performing agricultural districts across India.

The scheme commences in FY26 and will run for six years, with an annual budget of Rs 24,000 crore, covering 1.7 crore farmers.

Thirty-six existing schemes from 11 ministries will be merged to ensure better coordination and impact at the district level.

At least one district from each state will be selected, focusing on areas with low farm output, limited crop diversity, and poor access to credit.

Focus areas include improving productivity, promoting crop diversification, constructing storage facilities, expanding irrigation systems, and enhancing access to credit.

Modelled after the Aspirational District Programme, the scheme will also feature a mobile app to provide farmers with key updates and guidance.
