PM Dhan Dhaanya Krishi Yojana 2025 – ₹24,000 Crore Scheme to Boost Rural Agriculture
Prime Minister Dhan Dhaanya Krishi Yojana (PMDDKY) has been officially launched on 11th October 2025 with a total budget of ₹24,000 crore to improve agriculture in 100 selected districts across India. These districts have been chosen for their high farming potential but low productivity and weak infrastructure.
Main Aim of PMDDKY Scheme
This new government scheme focuses on increasing farm productivity, improving irrigation, boosting post-harvest storage, promoting crop diversification, and ensuring easy credit access to farmers. The goal is to make farming sustainable, modern, and profitable for rural India.
How PM Dhan Dhaanya Krishi Yojana Works?
Under this scheme, the government will combine 36 major central schemes from different departments such as Agriculture, Fisheries, Animal Husbandry, Rural Development, and Food Processing. Each selected district will prepare its District Agriculture Development Plan under the leadership of the District Collector, based on local needs and soil conditions.
Features of Dhan Dhaanya Krishi Yojana
- Selection of 100 “Aspirational Agricultural Districts” based on low productivity, moderate crop intensity, and weak credit availability.
- Focus on crop diversification, encouraging farmers to grow high-value crops like fruits, vegetables, and pulses.
- Improving water management through drip and sprinkler irrigation under Per Drop More Crop and PM Krishi Sinchayee Yojana.
- Support for allied sectors like dairy, fisheries, and beekeeping to enhance farmers’ income.
- Integration of digital and natural farming, with the help of KVKs and Agricultural Universities as technical partners.
Implementation and Monitoring
The scheme will be monitored through a digital dashboard created by NITI Aayog, ranking each district monthly based on performance. A three-tier committee system (District, State, and National level) will guide and review progress.
Expected Outcomes
PM Dhan Dhaanya Krishi Yojana aims to:
- Raise productivity to state averages
- Improve irrigation coverage
- Reduce post-harvest losses
- Increase farmer income and rural employment
