Kishan Kalpvriksh Yojana (Scheme for Assistance to APMCs to Provide Basic and Modern Facilities) (Tribal) - Introduction
Kishan Kalpvriksh Yojana (Scheme for Assistance to APMCs to Provide Basic and Modern Facilities) (Tribal) serves to improve agricultural markets by offering financial grants for infrastructure upgrades to cooperative market committees working within tribal areas of Gujarat. With liberalization and private market participation growing, the scheme helps these committees stay competitive and creates an environment where direct purchase and private participation can grow.
For example, a local market committee in a tribal district can use these funds to build a new covered auction platform, making sure local crops stay protected from rain during the busy harvest season. This helps farmers get better prices and keeps the market running smoothly throughout the year.
Core Objectives of This Scheme:
- To strengthen existing infrastructure within APMCs located in tribal zones so that market yards and related facilities work well.
- To modernize agricultural markets and make them more efficient and competitive for the people who use them.
- To help market committees adapt to modern trends like private sector participation and digital agricultural market integration.
