The agriculture ministry plans to reduce and restructure the 53-odd welfare schemes in the country. Of programs to stay is the “Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana” (RKVY)- which is an assistance scheme to motivate states to take more steps toward improving agriculture. States are allotted grants, disbursed by the state’s chief secretary. A priority is to form a Food Security Mission, particularly for wheat, millet, pulses, and rice, as well as Missions on Oilseeds, Farm Mechanization, and Sustainable Agriculture. These programs are part of attempts to extend the benefits of the green revolution to eastern India.
