The Indian Union Cabinet has approved the Prime Minister Dhan-Dhanya Krishi Yojana, a new agricultural scheme aimed at improving crop production and increasing farmers' incomes in underdeveloped districts. The scheme will allocate an annual budget of ₹24,000 crore to benefit approximately 1.7 crore farmers across 100 agricultural districts. The initiative includes provisions such as solar pumps to reduce electricity costs, free borewells, ration, and credit cards to support farmers' welfare and self-reliance. The program has received support from various political leaders, including BJP spokesperson Syed Zafar Islam and Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam, as well as state officials like Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami and Chhattisgarh Minister Ramvichar Netam. The scheme is part of broader efforts under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership to strengthen India's agriculture and renewable energy sectors.
